# Zoho Books Extension for Intercom

Intercom is a customer communications platform that helps support teams manage and respond to customer conversations. With the Zoho Books extension installed in Intercom, your support agents can view a customer’s recent invoices, including amounts, due dates, and payment status, right in the Details section.

**Scenario:** Zylker is a software services company that uses Zoho Books to manage invoicing and track payments across their customer base. They use Intercom as their primary support platform, where agents handle all incoming customer conversations from a shared inbox. When a customer reaches out about an overdue invoice, the agent does not need to open Zoho Books in a separate tab. They select the conversation in Intercom, select the Zoho Books organization, enter the customer’s email in the Zoho Books section on the right, and view the invoice details, including the amount, due date, and payment status, right from the Details section.

## How the Zoho Books Extension for Intercom Works

After you install the Zoho Books extension in your Intercom workspace, a Zoho Books section appears in the Details view of every conversation. When an agent opens a conversation, they select the Zoho Books organization and enter the customer’s email in the Zoho Books section. The extension retrieves that customer’s recent invoices from Zoho Books and displays the invoice amount, due date, and payment status.

For example, when a customer asks about a pending payment, the agent can select their Zoho Books organization, enter the customer’s email, and see the outstanding invoice details without leaving Intercom.
