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 support?
- Any tips for avoiding common pitfalls with Fin in small business setups?
- For those with efficient workflows, what’s your process?
Excited for your insights! Thanks!
