Hey everyone 👋,

 

It was fantastic seeing you at the May 11 Office Hours Community Meetup.

 

First off, apologies for the slight delay. I know I promised to drop this file within an hour of our meetup, but I decided to take a little extra time to polish it up and make a significantly better version for you all to use.

 

During the meetup, I shared a quick video of the data framework I use, and a lot of you asked for a copy. As we discussed, a successful Intercom implementation always starts with a Data Collection Plan.  Before you flip the switch on Messenger or Fin AI, you need total internal alignment on:

  • What specific data points you are sending to Intercom.

  • Why your company needs to track them.

  • What outcome each attribute will drive (e.g., routing a VIP ticket, triggering a churn-prevention Series, or giving Fin AI context to resolve a complex query).

If you don't define the why and the outcome first, you end up with a cluttered workspace and missed opportunities.

Note: The data flow in this template is specifically designed for the SaaS industry, utilizing a Project Management platform as a practical example. It breaks down the exact standard attributes, custom user traits, and company data you need to build a flawless architecture.
 

🤝 Let's Collaborate

  • Questions? If you have any questions on how to adapt this for your own workspace, drop them in the thread below or just simply Book a call with me 📞
     

  • Different Industry? If you want to see a version of this file tailored to a completely different industry (E-commerce, Fintech, EdTech, etc.), just let me know and I’ll be more than happy to map one out for you.
     

Up Next: I’m currently putting together a dedicated Event Tracking Plan for those of you looking to build deeper, action-based integrations 👀Keep an eye out for that soon.
 

Have a Londonful Day ahead 💂

Cheers,
Roy 🇬🇧

First off, apologies for the slight delay—especially to @Aleksei O , ​@Connie Krueger , who specifically asked for this! (I couldn't find John Giles in the user list to tag him, so hopefully he spots this post too! 💙) I know I promised to drop this file within an hour of our call, but I decided to take a little extra time to make a significantly better version of it.

 

If you want to see a version of this file tailored to a completely different industry (E-commerce, Fintech, EdTech, etc.), just let me know and I’ll be more than happy to map one out for you.

 

P.S: Maybe our community hero ​@Dianah Tripac can help us to make sure John gets his data collection plan?  = )

 

Have a Londonful Day ahead 💂

Cheers,
Roy 🇬🇧
