Create a Support KPI Dashboard in Slack from Intercom
A BI dashboard is a tool for analysis. A Slack message is a tool for action. Most support teams need the latter more than the former. A regular pulse on the numbers that arrives where the work happens.
The BI approach
- 1Build a support KPI dashboard in a tool like Looker, Metabase, or Intercom Reports.
- 2Share a link with stakeholders.
- 3Hope they check it.
The problem: Dashboards get checked by people who are already looking. Slack messages reach people where they work. For most support teams, a weekly Slack post drives more informed decisions than a dashboard link.
With Supportman
Every Friday afternoon, Supportman posts your core support KPIs directly into Slack (conversations replied to, median first reply, median time to close, and a 7-day emoji ratings summary) with no dashboard login required.
- Connect Supportman to your Intercom workspace and Slack (OAuth, two clicks).
- Set your ratings channel in the Supportman App Home. The Friday team report posts there automatically.
- Pin the latest digest in #support so new team members and stakeholders always have a current KPI snapshot.
Skip wiring up a separate BI tool. Supportman delivers the KPIs your team actually checks every Friday in the Slack channel they already live in.
Can I pin the weekly KPI post to a Slack channel?
Yes. You can pin any Slack message. Many teams pin the most recent Friday report to their #support channel so new team members can reference it.
What if I want a different format than Supportman provides?
The Friday digest format is standardized today. Custom report formatting is on the roadmap. For highly custom layouts, Intercom has a reporting API you can use to build bespoke exports.
