After your customer initiates a conversation, you will see the new contacts created from social channels along with their questions.

UChat will pull the user’s profile, email & phone to create the contact if there is any.

And now your intercom agent can talk directly back to the customer from 11+ social channels.

If your intercom live chat support helps the user solve the issue, and when they close the conversation, the user will be pushed back to the chatbot automation.

If intercom live chat decides to follow up on the issue, for certain channels(Messenger, WhatsApp, Instagram) if it’s within 24 hours window, we will deliver the message. If it’s out of the 24-hour window, we will reply that the user is out of the contact window.
