How do I add a note to an Intercom contact?

Short answer: You can create note in Intercom by hand from its own interface, but it won’t repeat itself. On TinyCommand, add the Intercom Create Note action to a workflow, map its 3 inputs from any upstream app, and it runs automatically every time the trigger fires. No code, and a free tier to start.

What happens if Intercom returns an error?

The run history shows the failed step with its input and the error message Intercom returned, so you can fix the input and run the workflow again. Automatic retries are built into HTTP steps only, where you can also set your own retry count and delay.

Does Create Note support batch operations?

Run Create Note inside a loop to process each item in an array. TinyCommand does not throttle calls for you, so for large arrays add a Delay step if you need to stay within Intercom's rate limits.
