Why teams connect Intercom and Sysaid

Sync what happens in Sysaid with the customer records in Intercom, in real time and in both directions.

The CRM is supposed to be the record of every customer relationship, but customer-relevant information also accumulates in the other tools a team runs. Whatever Sysaid holds or produces that touches a customer, whether conversations, payments, replies, enriched data, or notes, the CRM only benefits if it arrives without someone copying it over.

Stacksync connects Incidents, Service Requests, Problems, Changes in Sysaid to Contacts, Companies, Conversations, Tickets in Intercom with bi-directional, real-time sync. Activity and record changes in Sysaid update the matching contact or account in Intercom, and CRM data flows the other way wherever Sysaid can store and use it.

Common use cases

  • 01 Two-way sync Incidents and Service Requests with a Postgres database so on-call and internal apps read and update tickets in SQL while agents keep working in SysAid.
  • 02 Create SysAid Incidents from monitoring or error-tracking alerts, then write status and resolution back so both systems stay aligned.
  • 03 Sync contacts and companies bi-directionally with the CRM so support sees deal context and sales sees conversation history
  • 04 Push product usage events from an application database into Intercom to trigger onboarding and retention messages

Common sync patterns

Where Sysaid handles support or shared inboxes

Tickets and conversations attach to the right contact and account in Intercom, so sales sees open issues before the next call.

Where Sysaid supplies contact or company data

Enriched fields land directly on records in Intercom, and refreshes keep them from going stale.

Where Sysaid can store CRM context: fields kept current

Owner, lifecycle stage, or account details from Intercom sync into Sysaid, so people working there have the context without switching tools.

What you can sync between Intercom and Sysaid

Representative objects on each side — any object or custom field can map to any target. Schemas are auto-detected; types are converted between the two systems.

Intercom objects Sysaid objects How this pairing syncs
Companies Company records group contacts and carry plan and account attributes used in segmentation. Companies Customer and department organizations that scope tickets and users; mapped to Accounts in a CRM or org tables in a database. Same entity on both sides — records pair one-to-one and field-level changes reconcile in both directions. Custom fields on either side are included in the mapping.
Contacts A single contact model covers both users and leads, distinguished by a role attribute. Incidents Break/fix tickets under /api/v1/sr with type=incident; created and updated two-way with status, priority, assignee, category, and SLA fields. Contacts is specific to Intercom and Incidents to Sysaid — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Conversations Support and sales threads sync outward for analytics and CRM context. Service Requests Catalog and help-desk requests on the same /sr endpoint (type=request); written or read so fulfillment can be driven from another system. Conversations is specific to Intercom and Service Requests to Sysaid — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Tickets Structured ticket records track issues alongside conversational threads. Problems Root-cause records that group related incidents; read and written to keep problem management aligned with an external ITSM or reporting store. Tickets is specific to Intercom and Problems to Sysaid — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Data Events Behavioral events pushed in from product databases trigger messages and flows. Changes Change records (type=change) with approval and scheduling fields; synced two-way to drive CAB review and deployment workflows. Data Events is specific to Intercom and Changes to Sysaid — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Custom Data Attributes Typed custom fields on contacts and companies hold synced billing and usage data. Users End users and admins on the /users endpoint; synced with an HRIS or identity source to keep requester and agent records current. Custom Data Attributes is specific to Intercom and Users to Sysaid — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Intercom and Sysaid

Each direction of the sync is driven by what the source system can signal and what the destination accepts — detection, delivery, and expected latency below.

Intercom Sysaid Sub-second propagation

DetectionIntercom notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Webhook topic subscriptions for contact, company, and conversation events, plus polling for backfill.

DeliveryEach detected change is written to Sysaid through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.

Sysaid Intercom Sub-second propagation

DetectionSysaid notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Webhooks (beta) push sr.created and sr.updated events with changed-field diffs and an X-Sysaid-Signature.

DeliveryEach detected change is written to Intercom through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.

Rate-limit considerations

  • Intercom: Subject to per-app rate limits on the Intercom API.
  • Sysaid: Requests are throttled per the X-RateLimit-Limit / -Remaining / -Reset headers; list calls are paginated with a limit parameter and each org is capped at 100 application keys.
