Step-by-step guide
How to connect Intercom to Microsoft Teams
Follow these steps to set up your integration. The entire process takes under 5 minutes.
What you'll need
- An active Intercom account with permission to install apps
- An active Microsoft Teams account with permission to install apps
- A free DeskFerry account (sign up takes 30 seconds)
- Step 01
Create your DeskFerry account
Sign up at deskferry.app — it takes 30 seconds and starts a 7-day free trial. You'll land on the dashboard where you can create your first workflow.
- Step 02
Authenticate Intercom
Click "Add Connection" and select Intercom from the app directory. You'll be redirected to Intercom's authorization page. Grant DeskFerry permission to read and post messages in your selected channels. You control which channels the integration can access.
- Step 03
Authenticate Microsoft Teams
Same process for Microsoft Teams. Click "Add Connection," select Microsoft Teams, and authorize access. Grant DeskFerry permission to read and post messages in your selected channels. You control which channels the integration can access.
- Step 04
Choose your trigger
Select what event starts the workflow. For this integration, popular triggers include: new message received in intercom or new message received in microsoft teams. The trigger fires automatically whenever that event happens — no manual intervention.
- Step 05
Configure the action
Define what happens when the trigger fires. For example: send message in microsoft teams. Map the data fields between Intercom and Microsoft Teams so the right information lands in the right place.
- Step 06
Test and activate
Run a test to confirm data flows correctly between Intercom and Microsoft Teams. Check that the fields map as expected, then toggle the workflow on. It runs 24/7 from here — DeskFerry handles retries, error logging, and monitoring automatically.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
How do I connect Intercom to Microsoft Teams?
Sign up for a free DeskFerry account, then click "Add Connection" to authenticate both Intercom and Microsoft Teams via OAuth. Choose a workflow template — like syncing communication events to communication actions — customize the field mapping, and activate. The entire setup takes under 5 minutes.
What can I automate between Intercom and Microsoft Teams?
You can automate a wide range of workflows: sync new Intercom events to Microsoft Teams actions, trigger Microsoft Teams updates when Intercom data changes, create Microsoft Teams records from Intercom events, and build conditional workflows with filters and field mapping. Each workflow runs 24/7 with automatic retries.
Is the Intercom and Microsoft Teams integration free?
DeskFerry's 7-day free trial is enough to prove the workflow out. If your Intercom-to-Microsoft Teams workflows need more volume, paid plans start at $49/month with unlimited workflows and priority execution.
Is my Intercom data secure when connected to Microsoft Teams?
Yes. DeskFerry uses OAuth 2.0 for authentication — we never store your Intercom or Microsoft Teams passwords. All data is encrypted in transit (TLS 1.3) and at rest (AES-256). Your communication data is only accessed when a workflow runs, and you can revoke access at any time from your DeskFerry dashboard.
Can I sync data both ways between Intercom and Microsoft Teams?
Yes. You can set up workflows that trigger from either Intercom or Microsoft Teams. For example, create a workflow where Intercom events update Microsoft Teams, and a separate one where Microsoft Teams changes sync back to Intercom. Each direction is configured independently so you have full control.
Do I need technical skills to connect Intercom and Microsoft Teams?
No coding is required. DeskFerry's builder is prompt-based: you describe the trigger and what should happen in plain English, and the agent handles the field mapping. If you can use Intercom and Microsoft Teams, you can set up the integration. Most users are running their first workflow within 10 minutes.
