Use Cases and Deployment Scope

At [...] we use Fin by Intercom to respond to the most frequent questions from interested users, during and outside the office hours. We have fed Fin by Intercom with our Knowledge Center, a collection of articles that describe and details our Policies and Processes, for our entire community of Hosts and Guests.

Pros

Instantly respond users questions based on previous fed knowledge
Filter users that need human attention
adress frequent asked questions in a personalized way
solve recurrent users requests

Cons

learning curve is steep
automatical identification of problems with resolutions (is available, but you have to search for it)
insights generation about your improvement areas in support

Likelihood to Recommend

If you have accurate and updated articles, it's a good use. Don't overlap information in articles, otherwise it could loose accuracy in answers. You need to study quite a lot to get advantage of the things it can do. I would say it's for a more mature organization, not one that is just starting the business.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Fin is used to handle all of our customer interactions from chats to emails. We also use Fin to create our entire help center with FAQs and how-tos. Fin is installed on our app so anyone can reach out and we use the AI feature to help limit support tickets.

Pros

Top tier customer support
Limits need for human support
Publishes articles and how-tos on platform

Cons

Fin could self correct with up to date information in the app
Fin to flag to human support when user asks
Reports to have more information on what metrics mean

Likelihood to Recommend

Fin is really great for interacting with customers and solving problems, it can browse through all your support content to provide answers and even connect to your backend systems to get order information. It is less appropriate for creating help articles as it does not know how the platform works until you tell it.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Frayt uses Intercom to connect drivers and customers to operators and team members to deal with issues, concerns, or requests. All drivers and customers have access to our intercom channels and can be assisted as soon as possible by team members. We also use Intercom to reach out to these individuals about any issues, concerns, or requests we have for them.

Pros

Connects to the appropriate team to cut down on figuring out where each chat needs to be directed.
Allows communication to be visible to other team members and to move over to each other or share communication appropriately.
Allows multiple options to reach personnel or outside individuals to ensure a connection can be established on a single platform.

Cons

It would be nice if chat was not reassigned to the individual that closed them if the other user reopens them. If the original assigned user is unavailable, those chats go unnoticed by others, so an ability to see those communications, even if they are assigned to someone else, a little easier would be nice for accessibility.
We have a massive problem with users accidentally having many accounts created even though they are reaching out on the same platform from the same link. A way to narrow down an effective list of actual accounts from each individual would be nice to ensure that users actually receive the communications they are meant to.
A way for a schedule to be created with times of availability and unavailability without having to manually log in and log out every time the status changes, or possibly an automatic log off after a predetermined amount of time of inactivity.

Likelihood to Recommend

Intercom is well suited for connecting internal personnel with external individuals and those externals to specific individuals or teams within the organization. Intercom also does a good job at allowing multiple resources to direct communication in the right direction, whether that be a transfer internally or directing initial communication requests to the appropriate resources. Intercom is not always the best-suited platform for reaching out to external individuals because of the inability to know the availability of who you are trying to reach.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Intercom for different working areas: mainly for chat support connected with our platform, client surveys such as NPS, series for all the different type of users, segmenting communication with many different rules and attributes and a mini 'data base' for all of our users and companies of those users

Pros

Series creation: quite visual and easy to use
Chat support: comfortable view
NPS survey: could improve on the email section

Cons

NPS email: it's not saving the client's score
NPS calculation: it fails when making the overall score
Chat follow up: programming responses

Likelihood to Recommend

Intercom is quite a useful tool when it comes to having different functionalities in only one platform. It works well as a main data base of your clients users, so you can later on segment the communication: such as series, update posts, news or surveys.
It still misses a more complete support channel to be able to centralize all the customer service in one platform

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I use Intercom in our organization as the main tool in communicating with guest and clients via email and chat. We also use it for documentation and creating follow ups. I love how we are able to customize macros and the addition of AI feature for composing messages is just awesome.

Pros

Real time sending of message.
Almost accurate paraphrasing, correcting grammar and changing the tone of messages using AI.
I love how we can access messages on someone else bucket for research purposes and for faster coordination.

Cons

Everything is great so far.
Maybe I would love if to-do process is straightforward. Sometimes it keeps coming back to me when I unassign myself before I can snooze the email.
Maybe I am doing it wrong.

Likelihood to Recommend

Intercom is well suited in managing our communications with guest, clients and partners. It makes the process easy and is neat to use. Documenting is also very easy as we just have note the link and add some note on the conversation that only we concierge can read.

I can only think that Intercom is not well suited if we are dealing with urgent cases. Sometimes the guest, client and partner is not available and we are stuck.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Intercom is an integral tool for our work since I use this to communicate with our clients. It resolves the issue of real-time communication since you can use Intercom right away with ease. I highly recommend this tool because the interface is user friendly. I cannot ask any improvement for this tool as of now.

Pros

Chat with client
Email clients
Collect call data
Collect detailed information of the call

Cons

Chat with clients
Email clients
Data gathering
Call logs

Likelihood to Recommend

One of our client is in need of assistance with her ride but she is deaf and mute so she send us a chat message and this prompted us an immediate response for us to resolve her concern. Thanks to the suitable feature of Intercom we are able to assist our client and resolve her concern.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I use Intercom daily to support and assist customers having issues with their accounts. With the intercom, I can talk to them in real time with chat and also send them emails. The only problem I have with Intercom is sometimes it loads slowly and it's hindering me from going to chats to other chats.

Pros

Chat options
Email options
Detailed account information of customers

Cons

Refresh time

Likelihood to Recommend

Whenever customers have issues with their app, Intercom helps me and the customer to talk in real-time and solve the issue as soon as possible. They can also attach photos and videos to help both of us to understand more what is the real issue in a fast time frame.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We mainly use this to interact with our customers in real time or through emails; this is one of our primary tools when communicating with our customers. It greatly helps us with our work. I really love using Intercom since it is user-friendly. The features that I like about this tool are that you can check your previous emails as well as see other emails or chats that your peers currently have. As well, the "macro tool" helps us a lot to have a faster response with our customers as we value their time and effort on reaching out to us.

Pros

Chatting with customers
Gettings email on time.
Multi channel between email and chat
Shared inbox
live view

Cons

Grammar correction's
Intercom Personalization
Translator

Likelihood to Recommend

There are scenarios where we need to have the customer reach out to us using email or chats, especially when we need proof from the guest, like pictures, or when we need to have them chat or reach out through email on a specific team that only handles emails. This is an appropriate response for our clients. I do not see any scenarios where intercom is not needed; only when the guest wants to have them called instead of chatting, I think. but overall, everything is good.

Intercom: A User-Friendly Marvel for Customer Engagement and Support!

Rating: 9 out of 10

July 31, 2023

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use it to manage support requests from our customers and I particularly also use it for surveys with users of our service. Through the reports, I monitor the metrics of our attendants and through the Surveys product, I conduct surveys to assess the satisfaction of our users. In addition, we also use the Contacts section to export customer data.

Pros

Organization of service queues
Outbound marketing tools
Automation of service tasks

Cons

Could provide a timeline of user account modifications directly in the conversation (side menu)
Improve the Surveys product, allowing automations, such as exporting data to a spreadsheet in real time.
Allow control of how many times the user can answer the same survey

Likelihood to Recommend

Intercom delivers great tools for its price. The engagement tools are excellent, as is the Messenger service.The Surveys tool can be integrated into web and mobile applications, which is great. Our automations done directly in Intercom also contribute strongly to the immediate resolution of requests in support, we are excited with the arrival of Fin to Intercom.

The best chat solution

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Intercom is a very useful and user-friendly app that helps you communicate either in chat or email. The best thing about Intercom is that you can filter your messages from newest to oldest, and you have the option to view the old and new chats or emails for your reference. I love every feature of this app. You can reassign the coming replies in case you have to be away. You can attach files and send an article for further details. It is very reliable and easy to manage. Easy access to details and its features I would definitely recommend this to anyone, especially in the corporate world.

Pros

You can opt to just show the recent chats or email
You can always read back the old chats and email
Can attach any files and articles for references

Cons

Outbound messaging should be improved
Should be more attractive interface
Should have more ready to use macros

Likelihood to Recommend

Intercom is well suited for beginners as it is very easy to use and features are easy to access. You will see how many chats or email you have on your bucket and you can reassign those that belong to the proper department. You can see who are active teammates and who are away. You can also join or see the active cases of your teammates which you can learn from their conversations which is somehow awkward or practices less privacy because of this.
