Have you ever experienced any of the following challenges in customer service?
Realizing a missed response after some time, resulting in a delayed reply
Sending incorrect data to a representative from another department, leading to incomplete response content
Taking time to verify information and assign representatives, causing delays in starting tasks smoothly
These issues can affect not only customer satisfaction but also the company's reliability. To enhance customer trust, it is necessary to respond accurately and promptly to inquiries and requests.
This article introduces a method to automatically create tasks in Asana by reflecting the content when a new conversation is created in Intercom. By eliminating the hassle of task creation, you can handle customer service smoothly with accurate information. As Asana allows you to check task progress and add comments, it is expected to improve collaboration not only within the customer support team but also with other departments. Try this automation by connecting the two apps using the no-code tool Yoom.
Benefits of Integrating Intercom and Asana
Benefit 1: Efficient Task Management
With the integration, you can automatically add tasks to Asana when a new conversation is created in Intercom. This eliminates the need for manual input, reducing the time spent on transcription tasks. It also minimizes the risk of transcription errors and task registration omissions. As a result, the support team can quickly grasp conversation details in Asana, assign representatives, and start responding smoothly. Since conversation content is aggregated in Asana through automation, you can centrally manage all customer service-related data and easily review past interactions. The more inquiries you receive in Intercom, the more useful this automation becomes.
Benefit 2: Enhanced Team Collaboration
With Intercom conversation content automatically reflected in Asana, not only the development and support teams but also members from related departments such as marketing and product management can easily share customer feedback and issues. By allowing each representative to grasp information, add comments, and update progress themselves, you can expect rapid problem-solving across departments and the generation of ideas for product improvement. Since everyone can work based on the same information, more effective collaboration is possible. This automation is particularly useful for teams with remote workers or those working in different time zones. Forming a loop of reduced response times and quicker follow-ups may lead to improved customer satisfaction.

Until now, I have experienced office work at specialized trading companies and in the EC industry.
The work I was in charge of covered a wide range of tasks, such as sales office work, accounting, general affairs, human resources, and legal affairs.
We worked to improve the efficiency of individual tasks, but I think the work could proceed more conveniently by using various support tools and Yoom...
I would be happy if I could send out an introduction article on Yoom that makes use of my work experience and help everyone proceed smoothly with their work.
Conventional RPA can only automate simple repetitive tasks, and the setup process was very complicated. With “hyperautomation,” which combines various technologies such as AI, API, RPA, and OCR, it is possible to automate many tasks that could not be realized until now more easily than before.
Most tools simply connect one app to another, leaving the complex tasks to you. Yoom goes much further: From document creation and browser automation to OCR and generative AI, Yoom handles it all seamlessly in one platform.
Why settle for basic integrations? Streamline your entire workflow with Yoom’s powerful hyperautomation.
