I am currently setting up our intercom system and e have a lot of old school folks that prefer to call even though most calls can be answered in a quick message or email. I am looking for a way to add a conversation to the inbox from an outside source? (IE phone call to our helpline, customer emails support directly)

View originalHi @calvin h​ ,
1. Customer support e-mails - You can forward your e-mail to Intercom, all messages will go to Intercom.
For set-up, please read the following article.
2. Social Media Channels - You can integrate your social media channels (Facebook, Twitter) to Intercom.
More information here.
3. About Phone support, can you share more details about which call center provider/software are you currently using?
Intercom have some integrations with AirCall, CloudTalk, Toky, JustCall (Once a new call will be come to the Call center, this integrations creating a new conversation in Intercom).
4. Using API - With API, you can integrate and create a conversation from any kind of source.

💬 Let me know if you have more questions, Happy to help
@roy s11​ Thank for the info! We are currently using Ring Central but may have to make the move to a different call system.

What kind of API's do you recommend for this task?
@calvin h​ , Personally I'm recommending to move to Toky or CloudTalk.
They have direct integration with Intercom, so no API needed.
