FAQ

Questions about Intercom + Anthropic.

How do I use Claude to triage Intercom conversations?
Intercom Conversation Created → Claude classifies intent (billing, bug, feature request, account) and urgency → Intercom Assign Conversation to the right team and Add Tag with the classification. Reduces triage time to seconds.
Can Claude draft Intercom replies that match my brand voice?
Yes. Pull your support team's past replies as voice examples in the system prompt. Claude generates a draft → post as an Intercom internal note prefixed "AI suggestion:" → the human reviews and sends the final reply.
How do I get Claude to write knowledge-base-grounded answers?
Index your help center articles into a vector store (Pinecone, Weaviate). On a new question, retrieve relevant articles, pass them as context to Claude with "answer only from these sources, cite which article". Cuts hallucination risk to near-zero.
Can Claude detect Intercom conversations that need a human handoff?
Yes. Add a confidence score to Claude's answer. If confidence < 0.7 or the user has used escalation phrases ("speak to a human"), call Intercom Assign Conversation to a human agent and stop the bot loop.
How do I summarize an Intercom conversation when it closes?
Intercom Conversation Closed → fetch all messages → ask Claude for resolution summary, action items, root cause. Write to an Airtable "Closed Tickets" table for product feedback or QA review.
What about cost — Claude on every Intercom conversation?
With Haiku, triage + classification costs ~$0.002 per conversation. Drafting a reply with Sonnet runs ~$0.01. Even for a busy team (1000 conversations/day), it's under $10/day for substantial AI augmentation.
