Save and Activate the Scenario
After configuring OpenAI Responses, Intercom, 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 OpenAI Responses and Intercom integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between OpenAI Responses and Intercom (or vice versa). Easily troubleshoot the scenario by reviewing the execution history to identify and fix any issues.
Most powerful ways to connect OpenAI Responses and Intercom
Intercom + OpenAI Responses + Slack: When a new reply is added to an Intercom conversation, the content is sent to OpenAI to generate a summary. If the summary indicates a need for escalation (e.g., negative sentiment), a message is sent to a designated Slack channel.
Intercom + OpenAI Responses + Google Sheets: When a new conversation is created in Intercom, the transcript is sent to OpenAI for sentiment analysis. The resulting sentiment score is then logged in a Google Sheets spreadsheet for reporting and analysis.
