Intercom's automated workflow capabilities (Workflows) can help organizations achieve customer service intelligence and efficiency, and the following are some typical usage scenarios:
1. Automated responses to frequently asked questions:
- Automatically sends pricing information when a customer asks for "product price".
- Frequently asked questions such as "how to return a product" trigger preset responses
2. Intelligent assignment of tasks:
- Automatic assignment to the appropriate department (e.g., finance, technology, etc.) based on the type of issue
- Intelligent routing based on customer service agent's area of specialization
3. Customer journey automation:
- Automatically sends a welcome message to new users upon registration
- Proactive notification of logistics status after orders are dispatched
4. Satisfaction survey:
- Automatically send customer satisfaction surveys (CSATs) when issues are resolved
- Collecting feedback for service improvement
Setting up these workflows is intuitive: click "Create" in the "Workflows" interface, define the triggers (e.g., specific keywords or customer behaviors), and then configure the corresponding actions (autoresponders, task assignments, etc.). Small startups can use this to significantly reduce manual intervention, while large enterprises can standardize and scale their services.
