AI-Summarize Every Intercom Conversation and Send to Google Drive

An AI step reads each new Intercom conversation, writes a short summary, and n8n has Google Drive save a copy to Google Drive — so your team gets the gist without reading the whole thing.

difficulty Beginnersetup 25 minresult A hands-off n8n workflow where every relevant Intercom conversation automatically reaches Google Drive — save a copy to Google Drive.
  1. 1

    Fetch Intercom data

    Add an HTTP Request node (or the native Intercom node if you have credentials set up) and point it at the Intercom API. Poll Intercom for new conversations. Add a Schedule Trigger before it if this recipe runs on a timer, or a Webhook node if Intercom can push events directly.

  2. 2

    Shape the data with a Set node

    Add a Set node after the fetch step to pull out the fields you need — e.g. id, title (or name), status, and updated_at from the Intercom conversation. This keeps the rest of the workflow clean and readable.

  3. 3

    Send it to Google Drive

    Add a Google Drive node set to operation Upload. Connect your Google account, choose the destination Folder, and pass the file/summary through from the Set node.

  4. 4

    Activate and test

    Click Activate in the top-right corner. Trigger a real conversation in Intercom (or run the workflow manually against existing data) and confirm it lands correctly in Google Drive. Once verified, this runs hands-off.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to code anything?

No. n8n is a visual, drag-and-drop builder. You connect your Intercom and Google Drive accounts, map the fields, and activate — no code required.

Where do I get my Intercom API credentials?

In your Intercom account settings, look for "API", "Developers" or "Integrations" and generate an API key or token. Paste it into n8n's HTTP Request node (as a header or credential) or the native Intercom node if one is available.

Can I filter which items trigger this workflow?

Yes. Add an `IF` node after the Set node with a condition on any field (status, amount, tag, etc.). Wire the TRUE branch to the Google Drive step and leave FALSE empty to skip the rest.
