Allowing Sales agents to start a conversation on the customer's behalf


Customers sometimes reach out to the sales team directly (through a call/WhatsApp etc) to raise an issue. We want our sales team to be able to start a conversation with the Support team and add the customer to it.

 

What is the best way to support this?

Hello @vaishali​,

 

Does your sales team use Intercom? How about just create a conversation and assign it to the proper team member?

Hi @roy s11​,

 

The sales team does not use Intercom. They do use Salesforce though. Can they create a conversation if they're not on Intercom?

Hey @vaishali​, to expand on Roy's solution, your Sales team could send an email to an address which forwards to Intercom, with the customer in CC. This would create a new conversation for your Support team, in Intercom, of which the customer is also a part.
