Automated Intercom messages for specific product customers on WooCommerce

We recently got asked if a certain use-case could be solved using our WooCommerce + Intercom plugin. We thought it could, but wanted to test it first. It could, but not as easily as we hoped, so we built in extra functionality to make it easier. So as from v0.1.1 here’s how you can create […]
