Intercom has launched three new capabilities that drive customer engagement and improve customer experience: Intercom SMS, Custom Actions, and Custom Objects.
Intercom SMS is a two-way tool made for sales, marketing, and support teams that enables them to interact with customers, by replacing one-sided SMS tools and dead-end messages, which often feel generic and disconnected for customers.
The SMS solution is built natively into the Intercom platform, and users can leverage it together with its omni-channel offering. This allows companies to capture and store more customer data, paving the way for a more personalised and targeted SMS messaging strategy.
The feature is currently available in the US, UK, Canada, and Australia.
Jane Honey, Senior Product Director at Intercom, said: “Intercom exists to help businesses provide better experiences for their customers.
“These new features help businesses make the most out of every opportunity they have to connect with a customer—whether it’s building stronger customer relationships through two-way conversations, or leveraging automation for faster and better experiences for both their support teams and customers.”
