Let's assume your Intercom teammate (your agent) sends a message to your end-user via a channel connected through Octopods. If an email address exists for that end user, or if it has been populated by your teammate, an Intercom email notification will be sent to that end-user with a summary of the latest messages. This is so that your users don't miss messages when they go offline, and is the default behavior of Intercom's email notification system.
