Connect Intercom

Connect Intercom once for the whole workspace. Your agent can then open a ticket each time it hands a chat to a person.

Tip

Test only rehearses a handover, so no ticket opens there. Hand over a chat from your own site to see one.

Good to know

  • hiy checks the connection once a day. If Intercom stops accepting it, owners and admins get one email.
  • Reconnect keeps each agent’s ticket switch and your actions.
  • The same connection can import your help centre.
