“My customer support is drowning in repetitive requests while complex cases wait”

Businesses that receive hundreds of customer questions a week: a basic chatbot answers the simple questions, but everything else piles up and customers wait for days. You need to already use (or be considering) Intercom.

Recommended agent: Intercom Fin
💰 $0.99 per request resolved by the agent, on top of the Intercom subscription (seats from ~$29/month on annual billing). Level: Intermediate 🌍 United States No free plan: Fin is billed at $0.99 per outcome (resolving a request, completing a procedure…) — you only pay when it actually settles the case

Price verified on 2026-10-29.

Fin (intercom.com), Intercom's customer service agent: trained on your help center and your past answers, it resolves requests end to end — including by running procedures (checking an order, processing a simple refund) — and only hands off to a human when necessary. Its pricing particularity: you pay per outcome, not per seat.

How it works

Trigger: A customer writes to customer support — searches your sources, answers, runs the procedure if needed and documents the conversation, and you get a request settled with no human involvement — or handed to the right person with the context.

Step-by-step setup

  1. Install Intercom (or activate Fin on your existing account) and connect your help center.
  2. Give Fin its sources: help articles, return policies, approved canned answers.
  3. Configure a first simple procedure (order tracking) and the rules for handing off to a human.
  4. Launch on part of the traffic, read its answers for two weeks, then expand.
⚠️ Guardrails: You pay per resolution: define what counts as “resolved”, set a monthly spending cap (Intercom allows strict limits) and keep the human handoff easy and visible — a customer who wants a human should never have to fight the agent.
