You can do this sort of thing in Intercom - only send an email if they haven’t accessed X for example.

That’s what we do at Paiger and it’s a fantastic way to ensure people reach the “Aha” moment.

Intercom is the worst of the lot. To the point I've adblocked it haha

Do they still do that godawful beep while you're trying to read?

The developer in me doesn’t disagree, but it does lead to a significant amount of inbound leads that would have been lost otherwise (We tested it).

Our market is marketers though, not technical people - if it were, I suspect the results would differ.

Aye that is fair, I mostly dislike intercom because I I've only ever interacted with it when it's been telling me the bleeding obvious (to me)

We use Intercom and Mixpanel for VisualSitemaps.com.

Sadly their Mixpanel "integration" is very basic and does not sync up the most important engagement data which Mixpanel tracks for discreet features. So the only way to set that up is with by writing your own custom api syncing().
