How can I set up a trigger to create a new record in Airtable when a new conversation starts in Intercom?

To set up this trigger, you need to connect your Intercom and Airtable accounts through our platform. First, select Intercom as the trigger app and 'New Conversation' as the specific trigger event. Then, choose Airtable as the action app and set 'Create Record' as the action event. Map the fields from Intercom to match the columns in your Airtable base.

Similarly, you can set triggers for sending messages in Intercom when certain criteria are met in your Airtable database.

Is it possible to update an existing Intercom conversation from changes made in an Airtable record?

Yes, this is possible by setting up a two-way sync between Airtable and Intercom. You can configure an update action where specific field changes in an Airtable record will trigger updates to an existing conversation thread or add internal notes within that conversation in Intercom.
