Hi, I am very new to Intercom and so far, so good. However, I'm having to use it via a tab in my Safari browser on desktop, whereas its an app on my iPhone.

The browser version is really hit and miss for giving notifications and I keep missing customers.

I'm used to using apps like Slack on my desktop which make staying in touch really easy. Is there not a way to have Intercom as a stand alone app on my desktop Mac?

Thanks in advance for any help!

Hi @rob b11​ , Intercom don't have a Desktop client.

 

You can set-up notification in browser, mobile or e-mail.

 

If you are using Slack, you can integrate Intercom with Slack and answer customers directly from Slack.

Are there any plans to add a desktop app?

It'll be a really great addition.

Drift has a desktop app that is really convenient for people who prefer to use native apps (Slack, etc) rather than clutter the browser.

Unfortunately, notifications don't really help when you're working out of multiple systems and everything sends notifications (and all of differing priorities).
