Intercom to Salesforce Conversation Sync

Task

When a meaningful support interaction happens in Intercom, look up the customer in Salesforce using @Salesforce/Find Contact by EmailName it "Salesforce/Find Contact by Email" and call it with @Salesforce/Find Contact by Email, update their Salesforce record with support context using @Salesforce/Update ContactName it "Salesforce/Update Contact" and call it with @Salesforce/Update Contact, and add a cross-reference note back in Intercom using @Intercom/Add NoteName it "Intercom/Add Note" and call it with @Intercom/Add Note.

Example: After resolving a billing dispute, update the Salesforce contact with the resolution details and flag the account health, then note the Salesforce sync in Intercom.

Input

The user will provide:

1. The customer's email address
2. The Intercom conversation ID and admin ID
3. A summary of the support interaction (or the conversation transcript)

Example: "Customer jane@acmeName it "acme" and call it with @acme.com (conversation 5551234, admin 67890) just had a billing dispute resolved — we credited $500 and extended their contract 3 months."

Context

What to Sync to Salesforce

Always update:

• Last support interaction date
• Issue category (billing, technical, feature request, churn risk)
• Resolution status and summary

Update when relevant:

• Account health indicator (at risk, neutral, healthy, champion)
• Upsell or expansion signals mentioned during support
• Contract or billing changes made during resolution
• Feature requests that could influence renewal

Sync Strategy

1. Use the customer email to find their Salesforce contact
2. If the contact exists, update their record with support context
3. If no contact is found, note this — the support team may need to create one
4. Add an internal note in Intercom referencing the Salesforce sync so future agents see it
5. Flag any churn risk or upsell opportunities for the account team

What Makes a Good CRM Update

• Use structured fields, not just free text
• Include the date and conversation reference
• Distinguish between one-time issues and patterns
• Note the customer's sentiment (frustrated, satisfied, neutral)
• Flag anything the account manager should follow up on

Output

Email: [customer email] Contact Found: Yes / No Contact ID: [Salesforce ID] Account: [Company name]
