Examples of Automation Achievable with the Intercom API

Yoom allows integration with various services, and templates corresponding to each service are also provided.
Utilize templates that can be linked with the services you usually use to automate Intercom!

1. Add Information to Intercom

By using the Intercom API and external application APIs, you can automatically add information to databases, CRMs, or project management tools when a new conversation is created in Intercom.
Since Intercom information is automatically reflected, not only can you manage data accurately, but you can also reduce working time and improve operational efficiency.

For example, when the customer support department receives a new conversation in Intercom, the conversation information is automatically added to Notion or Google Sheets.
This allows you to manage inquiry information accurately in a database, which is convenient, isn't it?

Additionally, you can automatically register conversation information from Intercom into project management tools like Asana.

Additionally, it is possible to add contact information to Salesforce and other platforms.

2. Add a Contact to Intercom

By using the form tool's API and the Intercom API, you can automatically add contact information submitted through a form to Intercom.
For example, when an inquiry is received via Google Forms, the contact is automatically registered in Intercom.
This allows you to conveniently manage inquiries centrally in Intercom.

3. Notify

By using the Intercom API and the API of an external chat tool, you can notify the chat tool when a new conversation is created in Intercom.
Automatically notifying the team of the creation of a new conversation can help prevent missed responses and enable the responsible person to provide support quickly.

For example, when a new conversation is created in Intercom, the content of that conversation is automatically notified to a dedicated group chat in Chatwork. The notification includes the customer's name and inquiry details, allowing the support staff to quickly understand the content.
This enables not only specific personnel but the entire team to respond promptly.

By using the Intercom API and the external chat tool's API, you can also send notifications when a reply is received from a user.

Additionally, by using the Dify API, you can automatically generate responses to inquiries and notify the responsible personnel.
This should simultaneously improve support efficiency and reduce the burden on staff.

Summary

We introduced how to integrate the Intercom API with your app, along with practical use cases. By leveraging the Intercom API, you can automate integration with the services you regularly use, which should help streamline various tasks. Additionally, the automatic addition of contact and inquiry information enables accurate data management. Furthermore, automatic notification sending helps prevent missed responses, allowing companies using Intercom to reap significant benefits from automation. We encourage you to use the Intercom API to enhance the efficiency of your daily operations!

The person who wrote this article
r.suzuki
I came across Yoom when I was searching for ways to improve work efficiency on a daily basis at a small and medium-sized enterprise in a region where human resources are limited. I was casually thinking that it would be nice if this were the case, and by introducing Yoom, we can make it so much more efficient! I'm moved. Even though I have no knowledge or experience with systems or programming, my work has changed drastically, so I'm writing that I hope I can share it with many people who feel the same way.
