Short answer

How can I audit my Intercom segments using AI?

Your AI uses Intercom tools to list your existing segments and check the specific attributes or activity levels of the contacts within them. This lets you identify stale segments or users who no longer fit your target criteria. You'll get a clear view of your data health through the following breakdown.

Audit outcomes

Where your data gaps appear

Running these checks gives you four specific ways to clean up your Intercom workspace.

DATA CLEANUP

Identify stale segments

The AI scans your segment list to find groups that haven't been updated or used recently. You'll know exactly which segments to delete or merge.

USER HEALTH

Spot inactive users

By checking contact activity, your AI finds users who have stopped engaging. This helps you refine your targeting for re-engagement campaigns.

ATTRIBUTE CHECK

Verify custom data

The AI looks at your custom attributes to see if they are populated correctly across your contacts. You'll catch missing or inconsistent data points.

HUMAN REVIEW

Flag for manual fix

The AI identifies specific contacts that don't match segment logic. You decide whether to manually update their profile or move them to a different group.

The workflow

What your AI does when the audit starts.

The AI moves through your Intercom workspace to gather the data needed for a full audit.

  1. Map your segments

    The AI pulls a full list of your current customer groups to understand your existing structure.

    list_segments

  2. Inspect data fields

    It checks which custom attributes are available to ensure it's looking at the right data points.

    list_data_attributes

  3. Analyze user activity

    The AI searches for specific contacts to check their recent engagement or attribute values.

    search_contacts

  4. Report discrepancies

    The AI compares the segment definitions against actual contact data to find mismatches.
