Reply to an Intercom conversation
intercom/reply-conversation — Reply to an Intercom conversation.
Where it appears
The Reply to Conversation block lives in the Integrations group of the Workflow Builder. Connect the Intercom integration before adding it.
Fields
| Field | Type | Required | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
conversationId | text (supports references) | Yes | — | Intercom conversation ID to act on. Use a literal ID or <StepName.field> to reference an ID from a previous step. |
message | text (multi-line, supports references) | Yes | — | Reply text to post to the Intercom conversation. Use literal text or <StepName.field> to reference upstream content such as a generated reply. |
Inputs and outputs
Inputs are the configurable fields above. The block produces these outputs:
Outputs
Reference an output downstream with <Reply To Conversation.field>.
| Name | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
success | boolean | Operation succeeded |
conversation | json | Updated conversation |
error | string | Error message if failed |
Example
A minimal configuration for this block:
{
"type": "intercom/reply-conversation",
"config": {
"conversationId": "<PreviousStep.field>",
"message": "<PreviousStep.field>"
}
}Limits and failure modes
- Requires a connected Intercom integration. Calls fail if that integration is disconnected or its authorization has expired.
- Required fields (
conversationId,message) must be set, or the block fails validation before it runs. - On failure the
erroroutput is populated; downstream blocks that reference other outputs may not receive values.
