What do you do when you’ve heard the same feature requests from customers time and time again? Do you just build the darned thing to appease them? In these situations, we’re all probably trained to deeply understand the user’s problem first. But just how far should we go down this rabbit hole, and what good does it actually do? What results does it yield?
In this talk, Cindy will explain how her team designed and built key features in Intercom’s Respond product that began as simple customer requests yet ended up far beyond their origins.

21. Hi - Do you have
customer
surveys?
Can you enable
ratings on your
chats?
hello, do you support an
nps style measurement on
intercom
Do you have
any suggestions to measure
whether customers were
satisfied with our response?
Can users who spoke with us receive a last
question, if they were happy with the way they
were helped? Like thumbs up/ down or with smileys
Can we send a message
like "Please click the
emoji that best describes
your support experience”
I want to set up automatic
feedback survey to have
our members rate their
satisfaction with our
support team.
Why is
not possible
to have Users
leave a score for the chat
they just had, 1-10,
smiley or similar...?
How do I activate the option to
rate your response
inside our
Intercom?
Do you have a CSAT
rating feature to
measure customer
satisfaction?

look beyond the request
