Full guide: definition, formula, and benchmarksWhy Tag Usage Analysis matters for Intercom users
Tags are the foundation of topic-level analytics - if they are applied inconsistently or the taxonomy is outdated, every downstream analysis is unreliable. Garbage in, garbage out applies directly to support categorisation.
For Intercom teams, tag analysis reveals whether the taxonomy needs pruning, whether new categories should be added, and which agents need coaching on consistent tagging. It also surfaces tag overlap and ambiguity that confuse agents and degrade data quality.

Conversation Volume
Customer SupportConversation Volume = Count of New Conversations in Period
Conversation Volume measures the total number of new support conversations initiated within a given period. It is the foundational capacity metric for support operations, driving staffing decisions, budget planning, and automation investment. Sudden volume changes often correlate with product releases, incidents, or seasonal patterns.
