Step 1. To create users or companies, your survey must have a Contact form question with an E-mail or Organization field:

Step 2. In Connect tab, choose Intercom integration ➡️ Create new users or companies.

Once a new response is received, Survicate will automatically generate a new Intercom profile.

To filter your survey responses by your Intercom contact data, go to Survey settings ➡️ Integrations, search for Intercom, and enable the Contact data synchronization feature.

With this feature active, you'll be able to go to the Analyze tab and filter the survey answers by custom attributes defined in the Intercom profiles of your respondents:

You can scroll down in the Filter window to see all attributes from the Intercom profiles of your respondents, or you can start typing the name of the field you want to filter by.

The attributes synchronized from Intercom will also be visible when survey data is exported to a CSV or XLSX file.

💡Enabling the Contact data synchronization feature should be done only once for each workspace. This will allow you to filter the results of all your surveys in this workspace by Intercom data.

Yes, Intercom will allow for identifying your responses and passing additional details such as email address, country, etc. To identify respondents, send an Intercom Messenger survey to your contacts via Chat or Post or an Email survey via Intercom Emails.

Attributes from Intercom should automatically appear in the Analyze tab if you enable Synchronize user data from Intercom in the Integration tab.

Please note that synchronization will occur the next day as it will happen overnight based on our tool's settings.

It is currently not possible to create a multilingual survey for Intercom Messenger. However, you can create separate surveys in different languages.

Currently, it's not possible to change the Intercom survey Messenger design. It is dependent on the settings in Intercom. Yet, you can change certain design and styling adjustments within your Intercom account.

You can find more information on this in their guide.

Please remember that sending a preview email will result in anonymous responses. To thoroughly test the experience and integration, email an existing contact using the "Set live" option.

If you see the message "There are no Survicate surveys in your account," please check the type of survey you've created. You most likely created an Email survey that can only be sent via Intercom emails. Click "Create new survey" and choose an Intercom survey from the list.

Please ensure that your Survicate account is properly integrated with Intercom. It's often beneficial to reconnect the integration to determine if that resolves the issue.

Yes, you should choose to identify respondents via Intercom Emails and paste the link with relevant merge tags into the chat.

Each survey has its own Analyze tab, and it's impossible to analyze two different survey types simultaneously using the Survicate panel. However, you can export the results in the XLSX/CSV formats and analyze them independently. Additionally, you can integrate your surveys with Google Sheets and analyze the data using this tool.

Survicate generates Intercom events for every response by default and makes them visible in the user profile activity section. We include the survey name, question, and answer in the event details. You can turn off event tracking in Intercom—more on that here.

Upon each response to your survey, we update the survicate_last_response_date event for user profiles and the company_survicate_last_response_date event for company profiles, so you can keep track of the timestamps of the survey responses and trigger automated outbound communication (emails or in-app messages) in Intercom.

Intercom manages the distribution of Survicate customer satisfaction surveys, following specific rules. A survey will be sent according to the rules if a chat conversation is closed and contains 250 characters or more. You can find more information about these guidelines in this article.

Please note that, in such cases, the Intercom Messenger survey will be sent to the customer as an app, which can be opened and answered in a separate browser tab.
