How do I set up the Intercom integration?


​Navigation prompt

Go to CONVERSATIONS > Click Integrations > Click the Platforms tab > Select the Intercom tile

Intercom integration requirements:

To set up the Intercom integration in evaluagent, the following is required:

  • A valid Intercom account with administrative privileges

  • Authorization/permissions to install an Intercom app

Step 1: Authentication

Tick the "Include notes?" check box if you'd like to import your conversation notes from Intercom.

Use the Authenticate button to be redirected to Intercom to authenticate.

Please Note: You'll need to be logged into Intercom as an Intercom administrator/account owner to complete this step.

Step 2: Configure

Once you've completed authentication, you'll be directed automatically to the following screen, where you'll be prompted to configure your integration.

  • Part 1: Choose how much ticket information will be fetched into evaluagent. You have 2 options:

    • ONLY fetch the ticket reference and any associated meta-data (e.g. tags); or,

    • In addition to this core data, fetch the full conversation thread.

    • By choosing the second option, you'll be able to access a copy of the full text of all interactions between customer and agent(s) as an integral part of the evaluation process.

  • Part 2: When it comes to evaluating tickets that contain multiple responses, you have 3 options:

    • Split multi-response tickets so that each response can be evaluated separately.

    • Split multi-response tickets so that all responses from the same agent on the ticket are grouped together so that each agent's group of responses can be evaluated separately.

    • Don't split multi-response tickets and assign the full ticket for evaluation to any one of the agents that have responded on the ticket. By default, evaluagent assigns the ticket and any resulting evaluation to the last responding agent but you may change this to any other agent who has responded on the ticket at the point of evaluation.

  • Part 3: Decide how long evaluated and non-evaluated tickets remain available in evaluagent. Any contacts older than your selection will be purged and permanently deleted from evaluagent in line with our secure data storage and deletion policies.

On clicking Save, evaluagent will start fetching tickets on a regular (typically hourly) cycle.
