Automate Re-engagement SMS with Zapier

Automatically send customer re-engagement SMS when a user has been inactive for 30 days in Intercom. Boost retention with targeted retention messaging and build scalable engagement workflows—no code, just a simple Zapier integration.

Reconnect with dormant users at the perfect moment. This integration uses Zapier to watch for the Intercom trigger event “Customer inactive for 30 days,” then instantly calls D7 Messaging to send a tailored SMS that wins back attention. It’s fast to set up, easy to maintain, and fits neatly into your existing SMS automation and customer notification systems. Personalize messages with Intercom data, track delivery, and iterate your retention strategy with confidence.

1. Trigger App (Intercom): Configure the Zapier trigger “Customer inactive for 30 days.”
2. Zapier: When the event fires, Zapier retrieves the user profile and formats your outreach according to your message template and routing rules.
3. D7 Messaging: Zapier sends the payload to D7 Messaging, which delivers a personalized SMS to the user’s phone number.
4. Optional: Add paths/filters to segment users, insert delays, A/B test offers, or log outcomes back to Intercom as tags or notes.
5. Measure: Track delivery and response to continually optimize your engagement workflows.

Do I need to write code to set this up?
No. This is a no-code Zapier integration that connects Intercom (trigger) to D7 Messaging (action) in a few guided steps.

Can I personalize messages with Intercom data?
Yes. Map Intercom fields (e.g., first name, last seen, plan) into your SMS template in Zapier for highly relevant retention messaging.

How do I handle opt-outs and compliance?
Include opt-out language where required and honor STOP/UNSUBSCRIBE requests. D7 supports compliance best practices across regions.

Will this work globally?
Yes. D7 Messaging provides global coverage with high deliverability. Pricing and sender IDs vary by country; check availability for your target markets.

Can I segment inactive users by cohort?
Absolutely. Use Intercom segments and Zapier Paths/Filters to create separate engagement workflows for 30/60/90-day inactivity or by plan and lifecycle stage.

Does D7 also support OTP and authentication?
Yes. In addition to re-engagement SMS, D7 supports OTP automation and authentication workflows for login, 2FA, and account verification—configure as separate Zaps or API flows.
