The Intercom team has released a new all-in-one Messenger platform that includes a customizable home screen, allowing businesses to create tailored experiences for leads and customers when they open the Messenger. This concept is considered a fundamental shift in what a business messenger should be about, as it moves beyond just conversations. The idea came from modest beginnings, such as adding a link to a knowledge base, which was later refined into a more comprehensive solution that integrates with existing features like article suggestions and extensibility frameworks. Businesses can now customize their Messenger home to focus on specific actions or purposes, such as sales, marketing, self-service, or support. The new platform also includes a revamped conversation list that is now more relevant and elegant, showing only active conversations within the past three days. Overall, this release represents a paradigm shift in business messengers, enabling customers to get their jobs done more quickly without starting a conversation.
