Save and Activate the Scenario
After configuring Intercom, Twist, and any additional nodes, don’t forget to save the scenario and click "Deploy." Activating the scenario ensures it will run automatically whenever the trigger node receives input or a condition is met. By default, all newly created scenarios are deactivated.
Test the Scenario
Run the scenario by clicking “Run once” and triggering an event to check if the Intercom and Twist integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between Intercom and Twist (or vice versa). Easily troubleshoot the scenario by reviewing the execution history to identify and fix any issues.
Most powerful ways to connect Intercom and Twist
Intercom + Jira + Twist: When a new urgent conversation is started in Intercom, a new issue is created in Jira. Then, a message is posted in a Twist channel to notify the relevant team.
