Analyze Intercom conversations for top issues and refund reasons

Find out what customers keep asking and why they leave, with real quotes, without reading every conversation yourself.

Build an Intercom refund reasons report

Manus searches for conversations that mention a refund or a cancellation, reads each one, groups the reasons customers give and counts them, with a quote for every reason.

Why are customers asking for refunds this month?

Manus · I found 93 conversations that mention a refund or a cancellation. The top reason is trials that turned into a paid plan before the customer canceled (34), followed by double charges after an upgrade (21). Here’s one quote for each of the top three.

  • “I meant to cancel on day 13 and got charged the next morning.”Forgot to cancel before the trial ended
  • “Two charges for the same upgrade. Please refund one.”Charged twice after upgrading
  • “We only bought it for exports, and they keep failing.”CSV export didn’t work for them

Look up a customer’s contact, company and Intercom conversations

Manus finds the contact, the company they belong to and the conversations they started, then sums up what to know before a renewal or upgrade call. If you track deals in HubSpot, it can check there too.

Charged twice after upgradingOpen
Maya Chen

I upgraded to Team on Monday and see two charges on our card. Can you fix this before our renewal?

Sam Okafor

Thanks, Maya. I’m checking with our billing team now.

Internal noteAlex RiveraOnly visible to teammates

The second charge on Oct 6 matches the upgrade bug in SUP-219. Maya renews 24 seats on Nov 18 and had a CSV export problem in August. Next step: refund the duplicate charge today and confirm it in this conversation.

Manus · I added an internal note with the background and a next step. Maya wasn’t messaged.

Add an Intercom internal note with context and a next step

Manus reads the whole conversation and the customer’s history, then adds a note with the background and a suggested next step. Only teammates can see notes, and nothing is sent to the customer.

Write Help Center articles with AI from real customer questions

Manus gathers what customers keep asking, checks for an existing answer and drafts the article for your team to review.

Draft an Intercom Help Center article from repeated questions

Manus reads the conversations behind a question and checks your existing articles. Then it creates a new article as a draft, or shows you what it would change in an existing one.

Export a report to CSV

You can download any report as a CSV file from the report page.

  1. 1Open the report and pick the date range you need.
  2. 2Select Export, then CSV.
  3. 3For a full year of data, choose Email me the file. Large exports are sent by email instead of downloading right away.
If the download doesn’t startCheck your inbox for the file, or pick a shorter date range and export again.

Manus · No existing article covers this, so I created one as a draft. It stays unpublished until your team publishes it.

Find slow first replies with Intercom support insights

See how long customers wait for a first reply and until their conversation is closed, and which topics hold your team up.

See which topics slow down first replies in Intercom

Manus looks at how long each conversation waited for a first reply and how long it took to close, then shows which topics wait longest, so you know where an article or more people would help.

Manus · Billing disputes wait the longest, both for a first reply and to close. Most SSO questions repeat the same three steps, so a Help Center article could answer them before they reach your team.

Connect the Intercom MCP server in Manus

Intercom is already in Manus Connectors. Sign in with your Intercom account and allow access, with no address or token to paste.

  1. Open Connectors and pick Intercom

    In Manus, open Connectors, find Intercom and select Connect.

  2. Sign in and allow access

    Sign in to your Intercom workspace. Intercom first shows what the connection can do: view conversations and add internal notes, view contacts and companies, and view, create and update articles. Choose Allow, then authorize.

  3. Ask in a task

    Mention Intercom and say what you need, like last week’s top issues or one customer’s history.

Intercom’s MCP server uses one address for workspaces hosted in the US and another for the EU, and doesn’t support workspaces hosted in Australia yet. If Intercom shows “We’re having technical difficulties” after you choose Allow, the connection most likely reached the other region’s server.

What Manus can do in Intercom
  • ConversationsSearches and reads them, including every reply and timing such as time to first reply
  • Internal notesAdds notes to regular conversations. Only teammates see them.
  • Contacts and companiesLooks up people and companies, with their custom attributes
  • Help Center articlesSearches and reads them, creates new ones as drafts and updates existing ones
  • Replies to customersNot possible. Manus can’t send customers a message through Intercom.

Updating an existing article changes it right away, including whether it’s published, so ask Manus to show you the changes first.

Questions about the Intercom MCP connector

Is this the official Intercom MCP?

Yes. The Intercom connector in Manus is an MCP (Model Context Protocol) connector for the MCP server that Intercom hosts and documents for AI tools. It’s already in Manus Connectors, so there’s nothing to install or host.

How do I connect Intercom to Manus?

Open Connectors in Manus, select Intercom and choose Connect. You then sign in to Intercom: a consent page lists what the connection can do, you choose Allow, and Intercom asks you to authorize access. It’s an OAuth sign-in, so you don’t share your Intercom password with Manus.

Is there an Intercom MCP URL to paste?

No. Intercom is a built-in connector in Manus, so you sign in instead of pasting an Intercom MCP server address or setting up an Intercom custom MCP. The server addresses in Intercom’s developer docs are for apps where you add the server yourself.

Can Manus reply to customers in Intercom?

No. In conversations, Manus can only add internal notes, which only your teammates see, and nothing is sent to the customer. Notes work on regular conversations, not tickets, and appear under the name of the teammate who connected Intercom. A note doesn’t change who the conversation is assigned to, but a note on a snoozed conversation assigned to someone else reopens it.

Can Manus write and edit our Help Center articles?

Yes. Manus can search and read your Help Center articles, create new ones and update existing ones. New articles are saved as drafts unless you ask Manus to publish them, and each one needs an author, so Manus may ask which teammate to name. An update changes the article itself, including whether it’s published, so ask Manus to show you the changes first.

Which Intercom workspaces does the MCP server support?

Intercom’s MCP server supports workspaces hosted in the US and the EU, each at its own server address, and doesn’t support workspaces hosted in Australia yet. Your workspace address tells you where it’s hosted: app.intercom.com is the US and app.eu.intercom.com is the EU. If Intercom shows “We’re having technical difficulties” after you choose Allow, the connection most likely reached the other region’s server. Intercom sets these limits, so check its MCP guide for the latest.

Which Intercom MCP tools can Manus use?

The 14 tools in Intercom’s MCP server: a search tool and a fetch tool that work across conversations and contacts; tools to search and get conversations, contacts and companies; tools to list, search, get, create and update Help Center articles; and one to add internal notes. Intercom’s MCP guide describes each one.

Do I need to write code against the Intercom API?

No. Searches like “Intercom API conversations” or “Intercom conversation API” usually come from developers who want to pull conversations with code. Intercom’s MCP server makes those API calls for Manus, and you connect by signing in, so there’s no access token to create.

Do I need Claude or ChatGPT to use Intercom MCP?

No. Guides for an “Intercom MCP Claude” setup, an Intercom Claude connector, an Intercom Claude integration, an Intercom ChatGPT integration or an Intercom ChatGPT connector are about adding Intercom to those apps. In Manus, Intercom is already in Connectors: sign in once, then ask in any task.

Is Manus the same as Intercom Fin?

No. Fin is Intercom’s own AI customer support agent, and it answers your customers directly. Like other Intercom AI features, it’s built into Intercom by Intercom. Manus is a separate general AI agent that works for your support team: it analyzes conversations, writes internal notes and drafts Help Center articles, and it doesn’t reply to customers. You can use both.

Does Manus need Intercom conversation tags?

No. Manus reads what customers actually wrote and groups the conversations into topics itself, so a topic report works even if your team doesn’t tag every conversation. You can also give it your own list of topics to sort into.

Can I use Intercom with Slack, HubSpot or Jira?

Yes. Connect those apps in Manus too, and one task can post the week’s top issues to Slack, check a customer’s deals in HubSpot or file bugs in Jira through the Atlassian connector. These are separate from Intercom integrations: an Intercom integration with Slack, an Intercom integration with HubSpot or an Intercom integration with Jira that you set up inside Intercom keeps working as it is.

Can I disconnect Intercom later?

Yes. Open Connectors in Manus, select Intercom and choose Disconnect. Connecting again also helps if adding internal notes fails: Intercom says a connection made before it added the permission for notes needs to be set up again.
