What you can automate today

Redbird gives your team ready-to-run workflows — just connect your accounts and go.

Escalate Intercom conversations to Zendesk tickets with full context

When an Intercom conversation is tagged for escalation or meets complexity thresholds, automatically create a Zendesk ticket with conversation history, user attributes, and internal notes. Ensure support agents have complete context without switching between platforms.

Sync Zendesk ticket resolution back to Intercom conversation threads

When support agents close or update Zendesk tickets, automatically post resolution notes and status updates to the original Intercom conversation. Keep customer-facing chat threads updated with backend ticket progress.

Enrich Zendesk tickets with Intercom user attributes and behavior data

Pull customer lifecycle stage, product usage data, and past Intercom conversation tags into Zendesk ticket fields. Give support agents context on user tier, feature adoption, and previous interaction sentiment without leaving the ticket view.

Alert Intercom teams when Zendesk SLA breaches occur for high-value customers

Monitor Zendesk tickets for SLA violations on accounts tagged as enterprise or high-value in Intercom. Automatically send Intercom notifications to account managers or post messages in team inboxes to trigger proactive outreach.

Generate unified support performance reports across both platforms

Combine Intercom conversation metrics with Zendesk ticket resolution data to build comprehensive reports on response times, channel distribution, and resolution rates. See the complete support journey from first chat to final ticket closure.

Archive closed Intercom conversations as Zendesk tickets for compliance

When high-priority or compliance-tagged Intercom conversations close, automatically create corresponding Zendesk tickets with full transcript and metadata. Maintain a centralized, searchable archive of all customer interactions in your system of record.

Live in four steps

No engineers, no pipelines to maintain. Redbird handles the connectivity — you focus on the outcome.

01

Connect your accounts

Authorize Intercom and Zendesk with OAuth or API credentials. Redbird never stores your data — it just passes through.

02

Describe what you want

Tell Redbird what to do in plain language — no SQL, no code, no configuration files required.

03

Review and activate

Redbird shows you exactly what it will do before running anything. Approve the workflow, set a schedule, and switch it on.

04

Let it run — and iterate

Workflows run on your schedule or on triggers. Every run is logged. Adjust with natural language at any time.

Built for data-driven teams

Redbird understands the schemas, conversation structures, and ticket workflows in both Intercom and Zendesk — mapping between messaging threads and support tickets without manual field configuration.

AI that knows your support stack inside and out

Redbird's AI interprets Intercom conversation objects, user attributes, tags, and message threads alongside Zendesk ticket fields, custom forms, priority structures, and SLA rules. It automatically maps conversation participants to ticket requesters, conversation tags to ticket categories, and internal notes to agent comments. The system recognizes when an Intercom chat should become a Zendesk ticket, which fields need enrichment from customer data, and how to maintain thread continuity across both platforms.
