Hi Prakash! Integrating Intercom Messenger on your website is a great move for boosting engagement.
If you're using WordPress, the easiest way is to use the official Intercom plugin or add the Messenger code directly via your theme or a tag manager.
Make sure you customize the Messenger’s appearance and set up automated greetings or workflows — it really helps make interactions feel more personal.
If you just want the basic setup, go to Intercom’s admin panel → Settings → Messenger → Install. Copy the JavaScript snippet and paste it before the closing </body> tag on your website. That’s all you need for the widget to appear.
Hi @prakashhindujageneva The setup answers here are solid — the JavaScript snippet approach is straightforward for most sites.
One thing worth mentioning: installation is the easy part. Where most businesses leave value on the table is what happens after the Messenger is live.
A few quick wins once you're set up:
1. Customize the greeting by page — A visitor on your pricing page has different intent than someone on your homepage. Intercom lets you trigger different messages based on URL.
2. Set up Fin from day one — Intercom's AI agent can handle common questions immediately, even before you have a full knowledge base. It learns fast if you feed it good content.
3. Capture leads properly — Make sure your Messenger is configured to collect email/contact info before or during conversations, especially for after-hours inquiries.

To set up Intercom Messenger on your website, go to Settings → Channels → Messenger → Install in your Intercom dashboard, choose Install for web, then copy the provided JavaScript code snippet and paste it into your website before the closing </body> tag. Once enabled, the Messenger will appear on your site and start capturing conversations.😍
