What syncs

Members and their activity, as Intercom data

Bettermode uses the member’s email as the identifier and adds what it knows as new attributes and events, without overwriting what Intercom already has.

  • Contacts enriched, never overwritten

    Name, username, member ID, tagline, role, locale, email status and every filled profile field arrive as new attributes on the Intercom contact.

  • Events for member activity

    Account created and verified, profile updates, invitations, space joins and leaves, posts, replies and reactions are sent to Intercom as events.

  • Segments built on community behavior

    Use those attributes and events in Intercom segments, so a campaign can target members who joined a space or went quiet.

  • Matched by email

    Members and Intercom contacts are matched on email, so an existing contact is enriched rather than duplicated.

Put it to work

Support and messaging where members already are

The Messenger on your community, your knowledge base in community search and campaigns triggered by community activity.

  • The Messenger on every page

    Enable the chat widget and members reach your support team, or Intercom’s Fin if you run it, without leaving the community.

  • Your knowledge base in search

    Federated search shows Intercom knowledge base articles inside community search results.

  • Campaigns triggered by activity

    Send outbound emails or in app messages to segments built from community events, like a welcome series for members who verify.

  • Product tours for new members

    Onboard members with an Intercom product tour that shows them where things live and how to take part.

Setup

Authenticate once, then switch on what you need

Install the Intercom app, authorize your workspace and choose from four options. All of them are optional.

  • Install and authenticate

    Add the Intercom app, click Authenticate with Intercom, pick your workspace and authorize access.

  • Add your identity verification secret

    Paste it into the app settings so the Messenger knows which member it’s talking to.

  • Choose what’s on

    Chat widget, member sync, federated search and member events each have their own toggle.

Good to knowWith the chat widget on, your Intercom Messenger replaces Bettermode’s support messenger for admins on your site. Close it and the Bettermode chat button comes back.
