Fin FAQs

Latency with email reply

I was testing Fin’s email response for a tracking-related question. It’s connected to our company API to pull live tracking data, and while the information it returned was accurate, the email took nearly an hour to arrive. Is this kind of delay normal? Is there a way to configure Fin to send the email response immediately after retrieving the requested information?

How Do You Integrate Fin AI Agent with Custom Workflows for Small Businesses?

Hi Intercom Community, I’m exploring how to integrate Fin AI Agent into custom workflows for a small business to automate customer support. Any tips for setting this up efficiently? Details: Setup: Small business owner, using Intercom’s Inbox and Fin AI Agent on a WordPress site (2025). Handling ~100 customer queries weekly. Context: Following Intercom’s Fin setup guide, I’ve enabled Fin to answer FAQs, but want to tailor it for custom workflows (e.g., escalating complex queries to team, triggering follow-ups). Steps Tried: Configured Fin to pull from help center articles. Set up basic rules to route unresolved queries to the Inbox. Tested custom attributes for user segmentation, but struggling with seamless workflow integration. Goal: Automate 50% of queries with Fin while ensuring smooth handoffs to human agents for complex issues. Questions: What strategies do you use to integrate Fin with custom workflows? How do you configure rules or attributes to balance automation and human sup

Can FIN use external webpages to create hotel profiles in our platform?

Our platform includes a large hotel inventory that expands on a daily basis. Is there a way for Fin to receive a request for a certain hotel (e.g. Atlanta Marriott Suites Midtown) to be added to our platform’s inventory, find that hotel’s information through a third-party search, and create that hotel profile inside our platform? TIA!

How can FIN help create content on our platform?

Any advice on using Fin for both internal company questions and external support?

Hi! I want to design a system where any employee can ask Fin questions and get answers based on our internal resources and customers can ask questions and get answers based on what’s in our help center. One idea was creating two help centers (one for employees and one for users) but looks like Fin can only be trained on one help center. Anyone have success with creating a system that uses Fin trained on two different knowledge bases to answer questions? Or other general thoughts about how to go about this? We use confluence for our internal resources and have a help center that we directly edit for customer questions. Also don’t want to add every single employee as an intercom user
