We manage multiple Facebook pages as well as a large Facebook group through Intercom. One challenge our Support team runs into is that when someone comments on a Facebook post, the comment comes into Intercom without the context of the original post or thread.

This can make it difficult for our team to understand what the user is responding to and provide an accurate response.

It would be extremely helpful if Facebook conversations in Intercom included a direct link to the original Facebook post/thread the user commented on. This would allow our team to quickly view the context before responding and provide better, more accurate support.

Hey ​@Stacey Barth! Wanted to point out that Intercom doesn't natively support Facebook comments, so I'm curious, which integration or connector are you currently using?

I work at Octopods, it is an Intercom integration that brings Facebook messages and comments into Intercom.

We actually used to handle this by simply sharing a link to the Facebook post whenever a conversation was created, but one of our customers made a really good point, which was having to leave Intercom and open the post on Facebook just to understand the context kind of defeats the whole purpose of managing everything in one place.

That feedback made us rethink how we handled this. We ended up adding the post caption and a preview directly into the conversation, alongside the link to the original Facebook post.

That way, your agents can understand what the comment is about without having to leave their Intercom Inbox.

Take a look!
