# Intercom Automation A skill that wires up Intercom messaging and support automation: message triggers, user segments, onboarding sequences and product tours. - skill · `type=skill` · Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, Gemini CLI, OpenCode · 4500 installs · ★ 540 - Author: Claude Office Skills - License: MIT · policy=mirror · the beginning of the file is at the end of this page - Source: https://github.com/claude-office-skills/skills/tree/HEAD/intercom-automation/SKILL.md - Updated: 2026-01-31 - HTML: https://affpapa.org/en/nevibecode/skills/intercom-automation ## What it does The skill lays out Intercom automation as YAML configs. It covers welcome messages for new users, trial-expiry reminders and feature announcements aimed at specific segments. Segments are built from filters on subscription status, session count, last activity and company size. There is also a section on computed custom attributes: health score, lifecycle stage, account tier. The onboarding series is split by day and channel, mixing in-app messages with email. Support routing rules are included too: enterprise accounts get urgent priority, billing keywords get a tag and a team, technical complaints can open a Jira ticket. Everything runs through the `helpdesk-mcp` MCP server with the `intercom_message`, `intercom_user`, `intercom_conversation` and `intercom_articles` tools, so the skill is dead without it. Prices like `$29/mo` in the bot reply example are placeholders, not your plan list. ## Install ### Claude Code (native platform) 1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)** ```bash npx skills add claude-office-skills/skills --skill intercom-automation -a claude-code ``` 2. **Manually: put the files in place** - File: `~/.claude/skills/intercom-automation/SKILL.md` — Copy the whole skill folder; for one project use .claude/skills/intercom-automation/ ### Codex 1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)** ```bash npx skills add claude-office-skills/skills --skill intercom-automation -a codex ``` 2. **Manually: put the files in place** - File: `.agents/skills/intercom-automation/SKILL.md` — For all projects use ~/.agents/skills/ ### Cursor 1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)** ```bash npx skills add claude-office-skills/skills --skill intercom-automation -a cursor ``` 2. **Manually: put the files in place** - File: `.cursor/skills/intercom-automation/SKILL.md` — Cursor also reads .agents/skills/ and .claude/skills/ ### GitHub Copilot 1. **GitHub CLI** ```bash gh skill install claude-office-skills/skills intercom-automation ``` 2. **Manually: put the files in place** - File: `.github/skills/intercom-automation/SKILL.md` ### Gemini CLI 1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)** ```bash npx skills add claude-office-skills/skills --skill intercom-automation -a gemini-cli ``` 2. **Platform CLI** ```bash gemini skills install https://github.com/claude-office-skills/skills --path intercom-automation ``` ### Windsurf (Devin Desktop) **Manually: put the files in place** - File: `.devin/skills/intercom-automation/SKILL.md` — The legacy .windsurf/skills/ path still works ### OpenCode **Skills CLI (Vercel)** ```bash npx skills add claude-office-skills/skills --skill intercom-automation -a opencode ``` ### Claude.ai **Claude.ai** - Zip the folder and upload it in Settings → Capabilities → Skills Where a file is given instead of a command, copy the files from the source to that path: https://github.com/claude-office-skills/skills/tree/HEAD/intercom-automation/SKILL.md ## When to use it - set up a delayed welcome message for new signups - split users into segments by activity and subscription status - build a day-by-day onboarding series across email and in-app - route billing conversations to a dedicated team with a tag - define a product tour anchored to UI elements ## Example prompts - Set up Intercom automation: send a welcome chat 5 minutes after signup - Build an at_risk_users segment — active subscription, last seen more than 30 days ago - Add routing: messages containing billing, charge or invoice go to billing_support ## Source text · SKILL.md · MIT Below is the content of a third-party file.
