Reply to Intercom conversations from Slack threads

BackReply turns each Intercom conversation notification into a Slack thread you can safely respond in—then syncs replies back to Intercom.

A real reply flow (not just notifications)

  • Reply in-thread (keeps context)
  • See delivery status (sent/synced)
  • Jump to Intercom source when needed
