Include Intercom conversation link in Slack side conversation messages

Related products:Integrations, API & Custom Actions

Problem

When a side conversation is started in Slack, there’s no direct link back to the originating Intercom conversation. Teammates in Slack can’t easily jump into Intercom for full context or to take action.

Proposed solution

Automatically include a clickable link to the Intercom conversation in the initial Slack message (or thread metadata).

OR allow macros to have access to the conversation data so I could make one for the side conversation and macro quickly Here is the Intercom conversation link.

Why this matters

  • Faster context switching for support teams
  • Reduces manual copy/paste of links
  • Improves collaboration between Slack and Inbox users

Current workaround

Manually copying and pasting the conversation URL into Slack each time.

Hii Taylor! Reina from the Dublin technical team here.

Yeah, you're right that side conversations to Slack (for now at least) don't include a link back to the Intercom conversation automatically, and sadly to my knowledge, for now there's no workaround through macros either since conversation attributes don't populate in the side conversation composer. It's a manual copy-paste for now.

So this would have to go to our feature request hub!
