It's pretty funny -- I work on a Slack integration, and we used to have a tool built in (called Operator!) that allowed customers to ping us directly in Slack when they needed help. After we started using Intercom, that became basically obsolete, but I really missed having that interaction actually in Slack, where I spend 95% of my day (instead of switching over to the web). Now that Intercom lets us have customer conversation right in Slack (and qualify and close them too) I pretty much have everything I need. Great integration, what a pleasant surprise!

Pros:

Works exactly as expected, reduces context switching

Cons:

None that I've seen yet, but it's only been a day!

Um... this looks heavily "inspired" by Chatlio, even down to the channel naming.

Unfortunately, creating a separate slack channel for each customer makes this unusable...

The other day I asked for this feature and now it's alive... THANK YOU !!!

Have been using Intercom at Pretty Instant for years now and this integration will be a great improvement to our workflow!

Pros:

Super convenient to stay in Slack when responding to our site visitors.

Cons:

Doesn't yet support all of the features that Intercom has to offer, but excited for future updates and functionality

This is a great Slack integration. It really does bring the power of Intercom into Slack in a way that's natural and functional. It keeps the conversation in sync between Intercom and Slack as well so that you and your team can float between tools, desktop and mobile. 👏

Pros:

• Easy setup

• Intuitive, feels natural.

• Avoids context switching

• Actionable notifications in Slack, as they should be!

Cons:

• Creates a new channel for each conversation

• Wish there was a "notes" feature so our team could discuss privately like in Intercom
