FAQ

Answers first. Sales pitch never.

How is IntakeRun different from Zendesk or Intercom?

Three things: it is a native, high-performance app on macOS, iPhone, iPad and Android (not a slow web tab); pricing is flat per seat with every feature available; and AI-assisted triage runs on your own API key — we never charge an AI surcharge per resolution.

What does “BYOK AI” mean for me?

Bring your own key: paste an OpenAI or Anthropic key into workspace settings and the triage engine drafts routing suggestions, summaries and reply drafts. You pay your provider directly — nothing is metered or surcharged by us.

Which platforms are supported?

macOS (native, menu-bar friendly), iPhone, iPad, Android and a web client. One subscription covers all of them; your workspace syncs in real time.

Will two teammates edit the same reply?

No. Collision locks banner-lock a draft the moment someone starts typing, with live presence showing who is on what. Locks release the instant the other person finishes.

How does the pricing compare to the incumbents?

Competing suites commonly charge $59–$99/seat *and* meter AI resolutions. IntakeRun is $10–$40/seat flat, and AI is your key, your bill.

Is my data secure?

Workspace-scoped storage, audit events on sensitive actions, TLS in transit, encrypted-at-rest email credentials and cold-store archiving you control.

Can I route specific addresses to specific queues?

Yes — intake routes map inbound addresses and aliases to queues, ship with diagnostics and a test-probe, and outbound SMTP replies from the right identity.

Do you support agencies?

Agency console with one-bill multi-workspace management, vertical workspace templates, reseller margins and a resource tree for dozens of client workspaces.

What happens when an SLA is about to break?

The Escalations view surfaces untriaged and at-risk conversations with breach timers, before customers feel the delay.

Can I try before paying?

Every plan starts with a 14-day trial and no card capture during the trial.

Can customers reach us on WhatsApp, or email only?

Both. IntakeRun is omnichannel: connect WhatsApp Business (Cloud API) next to your mailboxes and everything funnels into the same triage desk — agents see the origin, reply from one composer, and SLA rules treat both channels identically.

Will it assign tickets for us, or do we hand-assign everything?

Automatic round-robin assignment spreads new tickets across available agents, with a fair-play cap on concurrent open threads (default 15) and out-of-office mode so nobody gets routed while away.

We’re an agency — can we brand the workspace portals?

Yes: map a custom subdomain and every client portal is white-labeled with auto-provisioned SSL. Onboarding ships prepackaged vertical templates and admins can hop between client workspaces.
