_By Swathy · Aug 13, 2025_

With FeatureOS for Intercom, you can embed feedback boards, feature request forms and more right within your Intercom Messenger. Also, quickly add new feature requests while you are talking to your customers.

### **Setting Up Intercom Integration on** FeatureOS

-   Go to **Dashboard → Organization Settings → Integrations** and click on **connect** in the **Intercom** section.
    
-   You will be redirected to Intercom’s authorisation page where you can sign into your Intercom account.
    
-   On the next page, you can scroll down and click on **Authorise access** to allow FeatureOS and Intercom to communicate.
    
-   The base of your Integration is set now.
    

### **Setting up a FeatureOS board as the Intercom Board**

The default board on your FeatureOS organization will be the Intercom board by default. However, if you would like to change it to a different board you can follow the steps below:

-   Go to **Dashboard** of your FeatureOS organization → **Boards** → Use the more options button for the **specific Public board** and choose **Set as Intercom Board.**

-   You'll find an icon as shown below, beside a board in the dashboard, indicating that is the embedded Intercom board. You'll be able to set only one board as the Intercom board.
