Possible to add Conversation Id to email subject? Or otherwise associate email replies with existing Salesforce cases?

Hi! We’re trying to resolve an inconvenience in our Salesforce org where if a customer replies to an Intercom conversation via email, their response creates a new case in Salesforce instead of getting added to the existing case. I could set up a flow in Salesforce to associate these new email responses to their existing case if we could get the conversation Id into the email subject. Is there a way to do this? Or has anyone else found a better way to tackle this in Intercom/Salesforce?

Hi @Rachel Moody ! Ebenezer here from Engineering Support👋.

Quick question, does this also create a new conversation in Intercom or does this just happen in salesforce?

It might be an email threading issue.

Hi @Ebenezer.Laleye! This is just happening in Salesforce. We have email threading enabled in our Salesforce org, but I think the challenge is that customers are replying to an Intercom email, so it doesn’t have the Salesforce threading info associated with it.

  • Current workflow:
    • Customer reaches out via Intercom chat
    • This creates a chat case in Salesforce
    • Support closes the Intercom case, but the associated Salesforce case may remain open
    • Since the Intercom case is closed, the customer can still reply via the "email version" of the chat
  • Current email response outcome:
    • When the customer replies via email, their response generates a new Salesforce case
  • Desired email response outcome:
    • When the customer replies via email, their response goes to the original Salesforce case

@Ebenezer.Laleye Do you have any suggestions to make email threading work in this scenario?
