Do you use an avatar to send comms to customers?

Do you use an Avatar to post comms to customers via Intercom as a first point of contact? If yes, please can you link your website to me as I'm looking for examples of good practice. For example www.gainsight.com use a robot image for their Avatar who is the first to send you a question when you go on their website

Feature request: a visual pipeline to view users/companies at different stages of funnel

Having a visual pipeline (similar to Hubspot, Pipedrive etc.) in Intercom would be incredibly valuable and would probably remove the need altogether for a separate CRM tool like Hubspot/Pipedrive. I’m quite surprised Intercom hasn’t introduced something like this yet. It shouldn’t be overly complex and would add so much value to Intercom and their customers.

What the pro/cons for Intercom vs. Salesforce Support Cloud?

Intercom vs. Salesforce Support Cloud (specific to support...not CRM): Curious if anyone has experience with both and any major pros/cons or differences you noticed in your support workflows.

Looking to hire a Dev experienced with Intercom API.

Hello,  We are looking to hire a dev who can help connect Intercom with our tech stack such as, Memberspace, Circle, and possibly even Podia. Most important in Memberspace. As it stands, Intercom doesn't seem to be able to pull in data from Memberspace since they don't release the IP address of our users but they have several dev articles dedicated to the topic, however, JavaScript knowledge is needed which is above my head. Please email me at shawna@earthspeak.love - looking to hire asap. Any pointers of where to look?

How do I stop new Series entrants from getting old messages?

Question about email series - I thought that new people who entered a campaign would not receive "past emails" (ie. with specific date-based waits). But I had new entrants get all past emails at once. What do I need to do to keep that from happening?

How to automatically update a company data attribute when an existing user gains a people data attribute?

I'm collecting a certain type of data about my users with a post using Ask a Question app, that can only save answers into a people data attribute. That specific attribute is in a list format. My marketing team needs this information in a company data attribute in a text format.  Would anybody know how to set up automation that would allow me to move text value from my list format attribute into another attribute that is a text format? The first one is people data, the second should be company data. Thank you!

Is it possible to tag in bulk?

I'd like to add 100+ users to a tagged group but as they already exist on our intercom account I'm worried they will be duplicated (and receive multiple emails). Is there a simpler way of doing this rather than me searching for each individual person and tagging them? I have a document with all of the emails I need.

How do I de-duplicate user records?

We recently had to update our customer's user ID's and a few duplicate records were created in the process. We are not sure how this happened but what I am wondering is what will happen if we archive the duplicate record? We recently had to update our customer's user ID's in Intercom and a few duplicate records were created in the process. We are not sure how this happened but what I am wondering is what will happen if we archive the duplicate record? I read that we can't merge 2 users so it seems like archiving the duplicate is the only alternative. I'm just worried about that possibly having unwanted side effects. Any advice would be appreciated!

Forum feature from Intercom

We use Intercom for chat & articles. Will a forum feature (like Interconnected) become available to us to purchase as well? (BTW - I did search, but couldn't find similar topics, so I apologize if this has been asked a gazillion times already). Paul

Can Intercom be used as a CRM for a small startup with one or two Sales reps?

I can't seem to figure out what makes Intercom NOT a CRM at this point. By boss (CEO), wants me to find us a good CRM, but honestly, I am not sure we need one so long as we have enough Intercom features. Can anyone explain to be the main differences between Intercom and a full CRM platform?

Hey Connectors!

Hey Connectors! Something to which I hold myself accountable, but haven't yet publicised within the community, is a response time SLA of two working days. This means that I try to ensure that every question in Interconnected has been answered within at least two working days. If you ask a question in Interconnected and you haven't received at least one response within that timeframe, feel free to tag me in a reply and I will do my best to make sure your question is answered.

Support OKRs

I am trying to determine OKRs for my support team. While response time and other time-related metrics sound good, I want to focus on the quality of the conversations we have with the customers. Are there any suggestions on how to do this?
