Can I use a custom email address when creating a message using the API?

Hi, I am creating a message using the intercom API. I'm able to send the request, but the recipient sees the sender of the email as: firstname.lastname@company.intercom-mail.com My question is that is it possible to configure intercom so that when the recipient sees the email address of the sender, it is the same as the actual email address of the admin? Rather than companyname.intercom-mail.com? The curl request is below: curl --location --request POST 'https://api.intercom.io/messages#39; \--header 'Authorization: {Bearer token}' \--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \--data-raw '{ "message_type": "email", "subject": "Email subject", "body": "The body of the text message goes here.", "template": "plain", "from": { "type": "admin", "id": "{admin_id}" },  "to": { "type&

Can I send an in-app message to a visitor via api?

Is it possible to send a in-app message to a visitor via api? Before they become a lead or a user. Or, is it possible to convert a visitor to a lead or a user via api then send them an in-app message? I'm trying to trigger an in-app message to a visitor after they fill out a form on my website. We are able to retrieve the Visitor ID using the provide JS and it looks something like this: IntercomVisitorId: [0dd41354-f701-4648-94ca-e24df88dadcc] But I don't know how to use this ID to target the visitor with an in-app message. Thanks!

Unable to create note- getting 404 error

Hi, I've mostly managed to navigate the Intercom API without issues. However, I'm struggling to create a note. (I'm using Python, but can replicate the issue with curl.) curl https://api.intercom.io/contacts/5f908d5b37fbb4bceed4c97a/note-X POST -H 'Authorization:Bearer *snip*' -H 'Accept:application/json' -d  { "body": "Shiny", "admin_id": "*snip*"} And I get a 404. Basically, https://api.intercom.io/contacts/lt;intercomid>/note doesn't seem to exist. If I change the URL to https://api.intercom.io/contacts/lt;intercomid>/notes then I get a different error - 400, "Body can't be nil" I am on the latest version (2.3) of the API. Can anyone help please? ThanksRobert

[Webhooks] User in 'user.tag.created' only have old tags after adding a bunch of new ones

Hello, it's me again with the new question about API and webhooks explicitly. I've noticed strange behavior with 'user.tag.created':When you add only one tag at a time - you get user with this tag in tags field. But when I add a bunch of them user doesn't seem to include new ones in 'tags' field.  Below in my payload you can see that created tag (id: 4783953) is not present in user's tags.I want to know is it expected behavior or no? Thanks in advance Here you can see body of my notification: "body": { "type": "notification_event", "app_id": "ep13p0k7", "data": { "type": "notification_event_data", "item": { "type": "user_tag", "user": { "type": "user", "id": "5f8ffb5d6ed4af944328b4dc", "anonymous": false, "email": "lars@mail.com", "name": "Lars Quincy&q

How can I get sending stats on outbound messages I've sent through the API?

I was wondering where the best spot would be to find stats on outbound messages sent via API calls. The info I am looking for is just how many messages are sent out this way per month.

Hi, not sure if it's a bug but there are some inconsistencies in webhook notifications. I described some of them here https://forum.intercom.com/s/question/0D52G00004dXbOBSA0/webhooks-user-in-usertagcreated-only-have-old-tags-after-adding-a-bunch-of-new-onesand here https://forum.intercom.com/s/question/0D52G00004dX4uWSAS/different-payloads-for-same-types-from-webhooks-and-rest/p> Currently the biggest concerns for me are: 1) user doesn't have new tags in 'user.tag.created'/'contact.tag.created'; 2) Name is missing in Company in 'company.created' sometimes Thanks in advance

Different payloads for same types from webhooks and REST

For example: Webhook-model has event conversation.user.created which seems to return Conversation type.But if I request the same conversation by id from REST api (i.e. GET /conversations/id) the one from webhook and the one from REST will have different properties . E.g in the webhook's one there is no Source field and not all conversation parts are present. The same goes to contacts If it's intended maybe types from webhook model should be documented separately?

Delete user API from version 1.4 still works?

I have around 6000+ test usres in our account and we are about to go live. I have checked and found out that intercom provides delete user API in version 1.4. I have tried the v1.4 user list API and it is working but when I tried the delete usre API, I believe I got the success response. But when I checked the user list API again, I can still see the user and in intercom interface also I can see the same user. So I am confused now that whether the delete user API actually works or not? Can you please confirm? A quick response will be much appreciated.

Anyone using Segment for data? Their connection with the Intercom API is outdated

Our company uses Looker for data and analytics with our product. The Product team uses all of the different data stats collected from different places to define the product adaption, UX/UI, and Voice of the Customer.We use Segment to collect data from different sources, including Intercom. The issue I'm running into is Segment will not update their Intercom API from 1.x to the newest 2.2 which provides many updates for customer support.We are either going to have to build our own integration directly from Intercom to Looker (not ideal at all) or possibly someone from Intercom can connect with Segment to move this along?
