Daily Intercom Conversation Digest, Delivered to Airtable

Every morning, n8n pulls the day's Intercom conversations, summarizes them, and has Airtable create a new record in Airtable — a clean daily digest with zero manual work.

difficulty Beginnersetup 25 minresult A hands-off n8n workflow where every relevant Intercom conversation automatically reaches Airtable — create a new record in Airtable.
  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. Run on a daily Schedule Trigger and fetch recent 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 Airtable

    Add an Airtable node set to operation Create. Connect your token, pick the Base and Table, and map fields 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 Airtable. 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 Airtable 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 Airtable step and leave FALSE empty to skip the rest.
