Reply is step one. BackReply also lets you run lightweight conversation operations directly in Slack.

Fast workflows without new tools

Use Slack-native controls (buttons, menus) to keep the conversation moving. No new apps to learn—just faster actions.

  • One-click actions in message threads
  • Dropdown menus for quick selections
  • Keyboard shortcuts for power users

Anyone can help—even without Intercom seats

Team members who aren't mapped to an Intercom admin can still claim conversations and take actions. Their actions are attributed to your team's shared operator account, ensuring everyone can participate in customer support.
