    Building Custom Intercom Apps: A Frontend Developer's Experience

    5.0
    Jun 15, 2025
    My interaction with Intercom Helpdesk really improved my skills. As a Frontend Web Developer, I have helped build custom Intercom Apps that assist with issues such as scheduling calls, reporting problems and rescheduling appointments. I have also helped with installing the intercom messenger widget by adding a JavaSrcipt snippet. In addition, I help with controlling where and when the intercom appears based on various aspects such as user role, the page and action. I also assist the support teams to fix widget conflicts with UI elements. We also work with the support team to ensure that intercom works accordingly as well as when testing if its events trigger the correct bot. Lastly, I ensure that all the security and performance concerns are handled effectively by clarifying that Intercom Helpdesk PII is securely handled and that only the crucial data passes to Intercom Helpdesk.

    Efficient Support and Automation Balance With Navigation Challenges in Application Objects

    4.0
    Jun 16, 2025
    I think this is a great product overall. We use it to answer our customer's request and provide a great support. Also we are able to track everything and improve support thanks to Intercom metrics. We are using the API as well. API is well documented and let us build some automations. I find it sometimes difficult within the app to understand the differences between tickets, conversations and messages but after a while you get used to it.
