This article explains the flow of automatically adding conversation information created in Intercom to GitHub as tasks!
It is recommended for those who want to make the most of customer feedback to improve their service!
Please refer to the following steps and try automatic integration with Yoom.

Benefits of Integrating Intercom and GitHub

Benefit 1: Streamlining the Development Process

You want to share important insights obtained while responding to inquiries not only with specific teams but also with other teams.
However, manually adding conversation information from Intercom to GitHub each time is a hassle.
By using the integration described in this article, conversations in Intercom are automatically added to GitHub, allowing feedback and requests from customers to be quickly shared with the development team.
This enables developers to immediately identify issues that need attention and quickly start working on fixes.
Streamlining the entire process from capturing customer feedback to reflecting it in the service leads to improved customer experience.
As a result, a reduction in churn rate and an increase in sales can be expected.

Benefit 2: Avoiding Human Errors

The more manual work there is, the greater the risk of human error, which can hinder operations.
For example, if there is incomplete information, it may be difficult to grasp the accurate situation, increasing the effort to refer back to the original conversation history.
Alternatively, if there is an omission in adding information, important information might be missed, leading to a loss of growth opportunities for the service.
Automating input tasks minimizes the risk of human error, reducing unnecessary effort and preventing opportunity loss.
