What it does

Gives you one source of truth across two support channels. When a new ticket opens in either Intercom or Front, the flow looks up the customer in an Airtable issue registry; a match links the new ticket to the existing canonical record, while a miss creates a fresh registry entry.

When to use it

Use when the same customer reaches you on chat (Intercom) and email (Front) about the same problem and you need agents in both tools to know the issue is already being worked.

How it works

  1. 1A new ticket in Intercom or Front triggers the flow.
  2. 2Query the Airtable registry for an open issue from the same customer email.
  3. 3Branch on whether a canonical record already exists.
  4. 4If new, create a registry row with the customer, channel, and ticket URL.
  5. 5If a match exists, append this ticket to the record's linked-tickets field.
  6. 6Write a backlink note onto the channel ticket pointing to the canonical record and its sibling tickets.
