In the process of assisting enterprises with Intercom deployment, we actively collect and consolidate user feedback. Among these, one critical question frequently asked by clients is how to avoid message delays and achieve real-time message delivery.
During peak traffic periods on official websites, message delivery delay issues become particularly prominent—customer inquiries fail to receive immediate responses, waiting times increase significantly, leading to a substantial decline in user experience. This pain point is especially magnified during key business moments such as promotional campaigns or product launches, becoming a major bottleneck that constrains enterprise service quality and growth potential.
Next, this article will explore in depth how to achieve instant message delivery through advanced technology, including dynamic load optimization to handle traffic peaks, while supporting omnichannel communication to ensure customers receive a seamless real-time communication experience.
Customer Pain Points
Taking the automotive industry as an example: A potential customer inquires about configuration parameters and pre-sale policies for new vehicle models through the official website during an auto show. Due to the sudden surge in inquiry volume, the customer service system experiences message delays, and the customer fails to receive timely responses.
This delay directly undermines the customer’s purchase enthusiasm—during golden sales windows such as product launches or auto shows, customers expect efficient and professional service experiences. When inquiry requests don’t receive timely responses, customer interest in the product rapidly diminishes, and their initially high purchase intent may dissipate entirely. More seriously, this poor online interaction experience can also affect customers’ perception of the brand’s digital service capabilities, thereby damaging the brand’s premium image.
