Integrating Intercom with Google Sheets can be a game-changer for your business.
Intercom is great for talking to your customers and collecting important data, while Google Sheets is a powerful tool for organizing and analyzing information.
By connecting these two systems, you can easily export conversation data from Intercom into Google Sheets.
This makes it easy to create reports and track customer interactions over time.
You won't need to jump between platforms to gather insights about your customer's questions and feedback.
Instead, everything will be in one place, making it simpler to understand trends and improve your customer service.
Common Challenges
While integrating Intercom and Google Sheets is super helpful, it's not always smooth sailing.
One of the main challenges people face is dealing with data formats that don't match. Intercom might export data in a way that Google Sheets doesn’t immediately recognize, causing confusion.
Another common issue is the sheer volume of data. With lots of conversations flowing from Intercom to a Google Sheet, it can be hard to keep everything organized.
Sometimes connections break, and data stops flowing, which can be frustrating.
Plus, figuring out which data to export and turn into useful reports can feel overwhelming if you aren't sure what you need.
How to Integrate?
Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you integrate Intercom with Google Sheets using Zapier:
1. Sign Up for Zapier:
If you don't have a Zapier account, go to zapier.com and sign up. It’s free to start with, which is great for beginners.
2. Create a New Zap:
Once logged in, click on ‘Make a Zap’. This is where you create your automation.
3. Choose Intercom as the Trigger App:
Search for Intercom and select it as your trigger app. This means you're telling Zapier to watch for something happening in Intercom.
4. Select a Trigger Event:
Choose the trigger event that you want to kick off the automation. For this example, pick 'New Conversation'.
5. Connect Your Intercom Account:
Zapier will ask you to link your Intercom account. Follow the prompts to log in and authorize Zapier to access your Intercom data.
6. Test the Trigger:
Zapier will ask you to test the connection to make sure it’s pulling data from Intercom correctly. Do this before moving forward.
7. Choose Google Sheets as the Action App:
Now, search for and select Google Sheets as your Action app. This tells Zapier what to do after a new Intercom conversation is detected.
8. Select an Action Event:
Choose 'Create Spreadsheet Row'. This tells Zapier to add a new row in Google Sheets for every new conversation.
9. Connect Your Google Account:
Authorize Zapier to access your Google Account so it can connect to your Sheets.
10. Set Up the Action:
Select the Google Sheet and worksheet where you want the data to go. Match the fields from Intercom to the columns in your sheet.
11. Test Your Zap:
Run a test to make sure everything works smoothly from Intercom to Google Sheets.
12. Turn on Your Zap:
Once everything is set up and tested, turn on your Zap. Your Intercom data will now start showing up in Google Sheets automatically.
