Customer support has improved significantly with seamless chat integration for quick resolutions
The feature we appreciate most about the Intercom Customer Communications Platform is the messenger functionality. We are able to integrate it into our application and provide support to customers directly through our application. The messenger works efficiently, allowing users to have conversations without entering their details repeatedly. There is conversation history available for each customer interaction, and they can access the help section within the chat itself. The Finn AI agent handles conversations both in chat and WhatsApp, which is particularly beneficial. Regarding automation tools, we have enabled the AI agent to answer customer queries instantly, reducing the need for constant staff presence. The AI agent quickly responds to customers and summarizes their issues, informing us when it cannot resolve a problem independently.

Meeting multiple objectives with comprehensive scheduling and content ideas
Sometimes I'll log into LinkedIn, and it won't show the scheduled post. I have to go through Sprinklr and double-check. It would be nice if it showed everything I have scheduled also in LinkedIn alone. Sometimes, if I try to use emojis, I'll click on one or search for one, but I can't scroll through them or they don't pop up.

Cons

"It would be beneficial if there was a way to train the AI to better understand customer language."
"Sometimes, the solution lags and takes time to update something."
"The problem with Intercom Customer Communications Platform was a little bit of the implementation. It was complicated to use to actually get the automations and everything."

"There could be more videos on how to use Sprinklr."
"Sometimes I'll log into LinkedIn, and it won't show the scheduled post."
