  • OutputAttach draft in Front and tag IntercomIntercomIntercom

What it does

Bridges Intercom and Front so your team works one inbox. When a conversation starts in Intercom, it is mirrored into the matching Front inbox with the customer's history and tags, and a brand-voice reply draft is attached. Agents triage chat and email side by side instead of switching tools, and the draft gives them a head start.

When to use it

Use it when live chat lives in Intercom but your team prefers to manage and report on everything in Front. It removes the copy-paste shuffle between tools and keeps a single source of truth for support history.

How it works

  1. 1A new Intercom conversation triggers the flow.
  2. 2The Intercom thread, contact, and prior tags are fetched for context.
  3. 3A matching or new Front conversation is created and linked to the customer.
  4. 4OpenAI drafts a brand-voice reply from the unified context.
  5. 5The draft is attached in Front and the Intercom thread is tagged "mirrored" to prevent duplicates.
