Problem

Support, product feedback and sales questions all land in the same Intercom inbox

Caveats

Needs an Intercom workspace that can send webhooks (plan UNKNOWN), an OpenAI API key, ClickUp and Slack. Customer messages are sent to OpenAI. Conversations classified as Other get no action, so check that bucket regularly so nothing is dropped.

Tools

  • n8n webhook
  • Intercom
  • OpenAI GPT-4o-mini (AI agent)
  • ClickUp
  • Slack

Browse by tool: n8n, Intercom, OpenAI, ClickUp, Slack

Steps

  1. Intercom sends a new conversation to the webhook.
  2. GPT-4o-mini returns category (Support, Product, Sales, Other), sentiment, urgency, reasoning and tags.
  3. Parse the output and build task fields.
  4. Support and Product create ClickUp tasks with urgency and tags.
  5. Sales sends a Slack alert to the sales channel.
  6. Other takes no action.

Setup estimates are rough guesses for someone comfortable with the tools who already has the accounts and API keys. Real time is unknown until tested.
