Email by Zapier + Intercom

Create or update Intercom users from new emails

If you're having lots of interactions with your customers via direct email, you might be looking for a way to add this history to your Intercom installation. This Zap will take care of that for you once you set it up - every time you receive a new email at the custom address provided to you by Zapier, a user will automatically be updated (or created if there is no match for their email), keeping all their history in a single place.

When this happens...

Triggers when an email is forwarded to your own custom zapiermail.com address.
