Really excited to launch this (although we've been using it internally for a while now).
You can now easily build bots for Intercom, to deal with issues like:
Common FAQ Handling
Automatic Human Escalation
Triage and Routing
Outbound Conversations (not just messages) based on Events.
@chrismessina I can't speak for them, but they have been very engaged so far, we see it as a natural extension of their existing automation capabilities.
We are big believers in Bot + Human, rather than it all being about bots end to end.
@chrismessina@tonylucas Intercom have posted recently that in terms of this type of interaction, "non personae" , "simple, functionally driven" interactions delivered through a conversational interface are actually preferred by customers....
As a huge Intercom fan I'm pumped about this! I wish I had this a year ago when we were using intercom for a concierge service and 95% of the questions asked by users were made up of the same 15-20 questions. Nice work @tonylucas
