- Conversations assigned to certain teams

How it works
Once Intercom is connected, Lancey will:- Monitor conversations - Watch Intercom conversations for support requests and bug reports
- Identify action items - Extract actionable technical issues from customer conversations
- Create PRs automatically - Generate pull requests to address identified issues
- Post updates - Reply in the original Intercom conversation when a PR is created or merged
- Track resolutions - Keep customers informed about when their issues are deployed
Best practices
Use consistent tagging
Tag support requests with labels like “bug”, “feature-request”, or “urgent” for better routing
Provide context
Encourage support team to add technical details in conversation notes for Lancey to reference
Set rules wisely
Configure conversation rules to avoid triggering Lancey on every conversation
Monitor feedback loop
Regularly review which conversations lead to PRs to improve your rules
