Fin AI Agent integrates with Intercom’s built-in spam filtering to ensure Fin doesn’t reply to spam emails.

Intercom assigns all inbound emails a score and will filter anything that is deemed to be “spammy”. If you’re missing some messages that you think may have been incorrectly filtered, you can check the Spam folder from the Help Desk.

You will find any messages filtered as spam in this folder. If any have been filtered incorrectly, you can mark the message as Not spam and send it back to the inbox it was originally intended for.

By default, emails marked as auto responders go to your Spam folder but if you need these to appear in your inbox, you can turn off this setting so they are routed to the inbox from Settings > Channels > Email > Advanced.

You can view and monitor all Fin conversations from the Fin AI Agent folder.

You can also report on Fin’s performance over email conversations using the Fin AI Agent report.

Simply use the filters to see email-only data by selecting “Channel is Email”.

If you have access to Custom Reports, you can also use channel data to create your own reports for Fin over email.
