Why Connect Capsule CRM to Intercom?

Capsule CRM uses a REST API while Intercom uses REST + Webhook, requiring careful middleware to translate data formats between the two platforms

New team members take longer to onboard because they must learn manual workarounds to keep Capsule CRM and Intercom aligned

Contacts in Capsule CRM and contacts in Intercom drift out of sync, leading to outdated details on invoices, emails, and reports

Intercom adds complexity: reporting capabilities, while improving, are less customisable than Zendesk Explore for complex operational analytics

Online orders in Capsule CRM and in-store inventory in Intercom are never in sync, frustrating customers

No single source of truth when contacts live in two disconnected tools, so staff second-guess which system has the correct information
