Millions of Slack messages synced to Intercom every month

Does this sound familiar?

Your main support channel is Intercom, but you have active Slack channels for customers

  • Customer questions live in channels, threads & DMs with no ownership
  • Important context gets buried in Slack threads as conversations move forward
  • There's no reliable customer history when agents change
  • Slack conversations aren’t part of the Intercom timeline
