Our Messages product has always been a great way to welcome, onboard, and connect with people in your product and on your website. (In fact, we see that in-app messages get 3X the open rates compared to email!) Now with apps in your messages, you can do even more. Embed apps right inside a message to drive actions, engage your audience, and grow your business.

Whether you need to schedule sales calls, survey your customers, or promote your latest content, apps make it easy for people to take action within the Intercom Messenger. And with the targeting capabilities of Intercom, you can make sure your message reaches the right person at the right time.

As a part of our launch, we’re introducing three brand new partner apps from Typeform, AskNicely, and Wootric. These apps let you gather real-time feedback, conduct NPS surveys, measure customer happiness, and more – all within the Intercom Messenger.

This is just the beginning. Our growing library of apps makes Messages even more versatile and powerful. Find the right app for your business in the Intercom App Store, or learn more in our help docs.

Having your customer data across multiple tools can lead to lost sales opportunities. Using Intercom’s deep integration with Salesforce, you can be confident your sales team has all the context they need to convert more leads and increase revenue from more customers.

We’ve updated our Salesforce app to automatically send data between Intercom and Salesforce and make it even easier to keep your tools in sync. Now, you can:

  • Get a complete view of every lead or contact’s journey by automatically creating tasks in Salesforce from Intercom conversations.
  • Continue a sale right where you left off by automatically relating conversations to open opportunities in Salesforce.
  • Improve your advertising performance by mapping UTM parameters to Salesforce lead fields.
  • Get leads to the right reps faster by auto-assigning leads to their account owners in Salesforce.
  • Safely test the integration by installing it first on a Salesforce sandbox environment.

et your visitors and users know that you’re there to help without disrupting their experience on your website. Now, when a visitor or user lands for the first time on any part of your website that has the standard Messenger launcher, a text bubble asking if they need help will slide out of the side of the launcher icon and disappear after a few seconds.

For people who are unfamiliar with the Messenger or unaware that it’s available, this text bubble guides them to your Messenger home screen where they can self-serve or start a conversation.
