1.Catch incoming messaging event
Integrate Webhooks by Zapier and webhook mapping tools to receive the incoming messaging event to create support context inputs.
Create or reply to support conversations from incoming chat
Automatically catch incoming messaging events across Webhooks by Zapier and Intercom. Create and update support conversations when contact matches or when no recent thread existsβso you can reply with context, route follow-ups, and avoid manual lookups.
How this automation creates reply-ready support threads
When incoming chat webhooks arrive without consistent context, responses slow down and conversations get missed. This automation catches messaging events, normalizes phone details, searches Intercom contacts, and creates or replies to conversationsβso your team can answer faster.

Without Zapier, we would have needed well over 100 employees today just to do what we're doing. We would have been out of business by now.
David Laderberg, VP of Sales
Without having automation, we would have to at least be double our size. Doubling is a bit of a euphemism β I think we would have died or fallen back into oblivion.
Marcelo Lebre, Co-Founder
Zapier helps us close far above 50% more deals than we would without it. It is a key element of our overall strategy and, therefore, of our sales pitch.
Raphael Bochner, Founder and CIO
Zapier gives us unlimited flexibility and creativity. With Zapier, you're like an artist with a blank canvas. I don't know what we'd do without it.
Rishi Shah, CEO and Co-Founder
We don't just want to patch holes; we want to build scalable, future-proof systems. Zapier is helping us do that.
