It captures web visitors' contact data for follow up. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Getting an account was a pain and Intercom reps were vague in their directions, causing confusion.
I needed to integrate Intercom data with our marketing automation platform via Zapier. Zapier was very responsive and helpful, even though the issue was not on their side. I had numerous back and forth with Intercom's reps in which they were unable to translate error messages generated by the Intercom platform, unable to provide alternatives or reasons.
Currently, I am in a chat with an Intercom rep from within Intercom. The widget shows him as active and as having seen my messages, but without an acknowledgment from the rep. Pretty disappointing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
There are other chat options out there -- do your due diligence, because if it works, great. If it doesn't, it's painful to fix so there's budget going out but no actual value created. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
