Inbound Text Messages

Every inbound text message to all your mapped inboxes will create conversations in Intercom with two tags:

In the inbox of your Intercom account, you’ll see the Salesmsg widget on the right hand side. From there, choose an inbox from a dropdown list you want to send an SMS from. Then, enter a recipient’s number, type your message and click on "Send" button.

Furthermore, if you have mapped your Salesmsg inbox with your Intercom inbox, then any inbound SMS messages sent to the Salesmsg inbox will automatically create a new conversation in your Intercom inbox. This feature ensures that all customer queries and messages are centralized in one place, making it easier for sales and support teams to manage and respond to them promptly. It helps you streamline your customer communication and provide a seamless experience to your customers.

You can reply to an inbound SMS message using either the Salesmsg widget on the right hand side or the main Intercom chatbox. To use the Salesmsg widget, just enter your message there and click “Send”. To use the Intercom chatbox, simply reply to the text message as you would do for any other Intercom conversation.

Plus, our smart technology identifies if the inbound SMS comes from the contact that is already exists in your Salesmsg account. It will automatically map out the contacts for you, letting you know exactly who is texting you or creating a new contact if it doesn’t exist yet.

These properties allow you to set up automations, colculate analitics and keep track of contacts on both ends - Salesmsg and Intercom.
