# Intercom Inbox

> Create recording links and view recordings from the Intercom inbox sidebar

After [connecting Intercom](/integrations/intercom), a Userplane sidebar app appears in your Intercom inbox. This app lets agents create recording links, view recordings, and associate them with conversations — all without leaving Intercom.

## Creating a recording link

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open a conversation">
    Open a conversation in the Intercom inbox and click the **Userplane** sidebar app.

  </Step>
</Steps>

## Viewing recordings

When a customer completes a recording, it appears in the conversation automatically.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Recording requested">
    The customer clicks the link and completes the recording. You receive a notification in the conversation.

    <Frame caption="Recording link received">
      <img src="https://mintcdn.com/userplane/iHJrxtyvOmNXmfMS/media/intercom/intercom-inbox/intercom-recording-link-received.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=iHJrxtyvOmNXmfMS&q=85&s=b565f79ce7873108442140fa5ca75b84" width="1920" height="959" data-path="media/intercom/intercom-inbox/intercom-recording-link-received.png" />
    </Frame>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Open the recording">
    Click the recording in the sidebar to view its details, or open it in Userplane for full [playback](/recording/playback).

    <Frame caption="Recording received in sidebar">

    </Frame>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Review the recording">
    Watch the video and inspect the captured data — console logs, network requests, user actions, and metadata.

## Conversation linking

Recordings created through the Intercom sidebar are automatically linked to the conversation. This makes it easy to find the recording later from either Userplane or Intercom.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Issue resolved">
    Once you've reviewed the recording and resolved the issue, close the conversation as normal.

    <Frame caption="Issue resolved">
      <img src="https://mintcdn.com/userplane/iHJrxtyvOmNXmfMS/media/intercom/intercom-inbox/intercom-issue-resolved.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=iHJrxtyvOmNXmfMS&q=85&s=38c55aab1a49525e460d438580710aa2" width="1920" height="957" data-path="media/intercom/intercom-inbox/intercom-issue-resolved.png" />
    </Frame>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Post-resolution follow-up">
    The recording remains linked to the conversation for future reference.

    </Frame>
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Using Cmd+K instead

<Tip>
  If you prefer keyboard shortcuts, you can also create recording links using the Intercom Cmd+K
  action menu. Press **Cmd+K** (or **Ctrl+K** on Windows), type **Userplane**, and follow the
  prompts. See [Intercom Shortcuts](/integrations/intercom-shortcuts) for details.
</Tip>

## Requirements

* The Intercom integration must be [connected](/integrations/intercom).
* The agent must be a member of the Userplane workspace.
