In today's business environment, efficiently managing communication with customers is crucial. Additionally, to enhance customer satisfaction, it is essential to establish a quick flow that leads to problem-solving. By integrating Intercom with Google Sheets, you can automatically add customer inquiries and conversation information as tasks, enabling prompt responses. This article introduces a method to achieve this integration without programming.
Benefits of Integrating Intercom with Google Sheets
Benefit 1: Streamlined Task Management
For improving customer satisfaction, you want to manage tasks swiftly. However, manually adding tasks every time a conversation with a customer occurs can be time-consuming and labor-intensive. Especially when customer support is busy, task management tends to lag. Only by balancing customer management and task management can you respond quickly to customer requests. By using this integration, you can automatically add conversation information to Google Sheets, streamlining task management. Automating task addition allows for a quick overview, enabling a speedy transition to the problem-solving phase that may arise afterward.
Benefit 2: Centralized Data Management
Not limited to customer support, when using multiple tools for tasks to be tackled, data tends to be scattered. If you are not constantly updated with the latest information when handling customer support, you might convey incorrect information or data to customers, leading to distrust. By integrating Intercom with Google Sheets, there is the benefit of centralized management of conversation information. Moreover, maintaining data consistency helps prevent workplace confusion, and it is expected to prevent human errors such as data transmission mistakes.
From here, we will introduce the setup procedure using Yoom's template.

Other Examples of Automation Using Google Forms
There are many other examples of automation using Google Forms on Yoom, so here are a few to introduce.
1. Add a Case Action to Google Sheets When Registered in Mazrica This flow automatically adds a case to the Google Sheets case list when it is added to Mazrica, which enhances the efficiency of sales activities. It helps in quickly sharing and analyzing cases among teams.
2. When a report is issued in RakuRaku Meisai, add the report information to the Google Sheets database and notify Slack This flow automatically adds new report information from RakuRaku Meisai to Google Sheets and also notifies Slack. This allows for effortless and speedy data management and information sharing among teams, leading to further operational efficiency.
3. When there is a form response, use ChatGPT to categorize the response type and add it to a Google Spreadsheet By utilizing ChatGPT, you can categorize survey types and automatically add information to a Google Spreadsheet. This allows for centralized data identification and accumulation, making it convenient.
Summary
By integrating Intercom with Google Sheets, you can automatically convert new conversation information from Intercom into tasks in Google Sheets. This not only reduces the time and effort previously spent on manual work and streamlines customer management, but also helps prevent human errors that occur manually.
Additionally, since requests from customers and identified issues can be quickly shared with the entire team, it is expected to shorten the time to fulfill requests and quickly grasp the steps necessary for improving issues. As a result, it may contribute to improving customer satisfaction.

I have been involved in various office work as a cram school instructor and writer. I've been working a lot on computers, so I'm always on the lookout for information on how to make my work more efficient. I would like to be able to write articles that can be useful to everyone by making full use of the knowledge I have cultivated through my experiences so far and the information I have collected.
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.
