How to use this integration
To create your scoring model, go to Scoring Models and click "Create Model."
Scoring model creation consists of 3 steps:
For detailed instructions on creating your scoring model, please read the complete guide to creating your first Scoring Model with Breadcrumbs.
1. Fit Model
Fit Categories are used to score your leads based on who they are. Use Firmographic or demographic data to identify your best leads.
Please create a new Fit category by giving it a name and a weight. Then, click "Add Mapping" to use Intercom and "Change field" to add company or contact properties in the fit model. Search for the field you need or browse the company or contact folders.
Once you select the field, you'll be able to include or exclude additional values to refine your model further.
2. Activity Model
Activity Categories are used to score your leads based on how they are interacting with you over time. An action taken today doesn't have the same value as an action taken one month ago.
Please create a new Activity category by giving it a name and a weight. Then, configure the absolute decay, the interval rate (days), and min and max frequency.
In the above example, the configuration will create three periods, five days each, and assign a score if there are at least one event and a max of five. For each period we move back in time, the assigned score will be reduced by -10%.
Now you need to add the matching event. Pick Intercom as Platform and the event you need. Then, you can set up rules to further refine your data.
3. Advanced Settings
In this last step, we'll ask you to map your output fields so that we can add the information to your Intercom account. Here, you can automatically update the existing scoring field on Intercom or create a brand new one directly from Breadcrumbs.
Once you're done, click the preferred option to activate and run your model against your settings, save it as a draft, or test it against other scoring models.
Happy scoring!
