Connect Intercom to Airtable
When a new conversation starts in Intercom, Genexti creates a structured record in Airtable — automatically, with an AI writing the content on the way through. You describe it in plain English; there's nothing to code and no separate AI subscription to buy.
Support conversations carry the clearest signal about what customers actually want. Structured fields mean you can filter, group and automate on top of it later.

How to connect Intercom to Airtable
Describe it in plain English
Type what you want — "when a new conversation starts in Intercom, create a structured record in Airtable". Genexti's AI builds the whole workflow, both steps included, and lays it out on the canvas so you can see exactly what it will do.
Connect both accounts once
Connect Intercom and Airtable from the connections screen. You do this once — every future workflow reuses the same connection, and credentials are stored encrypted, never in the workflow itself.
Run it, then turn it on
Run it once and inspect the real output of each step. When it looks right, activate it. From then on it runs by itself, and you can see every execution with its full input and output.
Why use Genexti for this instead of Zapier?
Most tools can move a conversation from Intercom into Airtable. The difference is what happens in between. Genexti includes the AI, so the conversation arrives in Airtable already summarised, categorised and written up like a person did it — not as a raw dump of fields. And because the AI is part of the platform, it isn't metered separately or billed per task.
Genexti is also a website builder and a code IDE in the same account, so the same subscription that runs this automation also builds the site the conversation came from.
Intercom to Airtable — FAQ
How do I connect Intercom to Airtable?
In Genexti you describe it in plain English — "when a new conversation starts in Intercom, create a structured record in Airtable" — and the AI builds the workflow, both steps included. You connect each account once and it runs on its own from then on.
Do I need to write any code?
No. There is nothing to install and no script to maintain. If you'd rather see the detail, every step opens into an advanced view where you can edit fields, expressions and the raw JSON — but you never have to.
Can the AI write the content that goes into Airtable?
Yes, and that's the difference. Genexti includes the AI, so an AI step can summarise the conversation, pull out the fields that matter and phrase a record properly before it reaches Airtable. There's no separate AI subscription and no per-task AI charge.
Is connecting Intercom and Airtable free?
You can build and run this on the free plan — no credit card. Paid plans raise the limits, but the AI is included on every plan rather than billed per task.
