Workflow triggered by "Customer sends any message" not working on whatsapp

I have two workflows:1. One triggered by a whatsapp conversation (Customer sends their first message), where the final step is Wait 23 hours: If anyone sends a message during this time, the workflow will end.2. Another triggered by Customer sends any message (for various sources, including whatsapp).It is happening that after the customer answers the first workflow during the wait (so the workflow ends), and then sends another message, the second workflow is not being triggered.It is very weird because this same system works for other workflows triggered from messenger.¿Is there a reason why the second workflow is not being triggered?

Getting the "Logged In Users" Function to work Kajabi Users

Hey Everyone, So i’ve been having this issue where Intercom isn’t saving users chats if they log in on a different platform - The big issue being that with Kajabi, it’s really have to to get the “logged in user” data from Kajabi. they are very particular with the data they share. I did find a post here about some code to install in the Theme.Liquid file, and i’ve tried that but not sure i’ve it correctly. I’m wondering if anyone else has any experience solving this issue. I believe it’s just a matter of pointing intercom to where it can get the correct User ID or email from kajabi, but i’ve gone back and forth with Kajabi and they aren’t super helpful. Any tips or help would be GREATLY appreciated. Thank you!

Who's looking at a conversation

Is there a way to view if someone else on the team is actively looking at the conversation? Other ticket/chat systems you can usually see someones profile picture icon somewhere to signify that someone is also viewing the same conversation. I know that a chat bubble shows up but that also doesnt tell you who is responding or show you what they're writing.

News item is missing as filterable content type for Proactive Support

Under Proactive Support you have all your messages and I can filter on content type. However, News item is the only content type I cannot seem to filter on.

Article Text Color

Is it possible to change the text color in intercom articles? I can only see the option to change the font to bold, italics etc but nothing regarding text. I know there’s the call out option but that’s not exactly helpful for the article I’m trying to write. Even on this description text box I have the text color option but not for articles?

Suggestions on how to handle duplicate users?

Hey everyone, We source users from 3 different apps and differentiate user_id. User IDs follow a letter sequence pattern like XVEOP. Recently we noticed that users in the different apps can have the same user_id, causing an issue with identify verification in Intercom. So we decided to implement a new user_id schema for Intercom where we prefix the user_id with the app region (e.g. us-XVEOP, au-WVMNX, etc). This achieves the result where we truly have unique user_ids in Intercom, however it’s resulted in duplicate users being created for every single user…I’m wondering if anyone has a strategy for the best way to handle deduplicating this while preserving as much of the data as possible. I did come across this community suggestion but I note it’s about 4 years old and I’m wondering if it’s still he best approach. Any ideas on where to start?

How do you improve your confirmed resolution rate?

Our confirmed resolution rate is between 6-7% usually and our assumed resolution rate is near 60%. Looking at the conversations, I would estimate that 1/3rd at least of the assumed resolutions represent a correct answer and our clients are just not clicking the “Yes that helped” button that would mark it as a confirmed resolution. My experience with bots is similar, I rarely give bots feedback, because I know its not human. Any tips or methods that you have tried that increase clients use of the confirmed resolution?

Fin didn't initially answer

We’re testing out Fin, and for one of our chat conversations, Fin didn’t provide an answer immediately. The customer sent another message an hour later, and then Fin replied. Fin greeted the customer in the widget just fine prior to the initial customer message.Any ideas on what would cause a delay? Could it be customer environment? Or an occasional glitch in Fin?

Display the NPS survey according to the user's language

Is it possible to display an NPS survey in multiple languages within a single survey, based on the user's language? We would like to have a consolidated overall NPS, but to achieve this, the text needs to be shown in English, Portuguese, and Spanish, depending on the user. If we create separate messages, we will need to extract and calculate the NPS outside of Intercom.

Why is my workflow triggering multiple times for the same user? How can I fix this?

Hi everyone! I’m running into an issue where my workflow is triggering multiple times for the same user, even though it should only trigger once per user interaction (More Info). It seems like some users are repeatedly entering the workflow, causing duplicate messages and a poor experience. Has anyone else faced this issue? What steps did you take to prevent duplicate workflow triggers, or is there a specific setting I should check? Any advice would be appreciated!

Android app using SDK version 14.0.0 suddenly crashing when opening any collection of articles

Our Android app is suddenly crashing for any user that tries to open a collection of articles inside Intercom. SDK version 14.0.0. Opening individual articles seems to work fine, just not collections.We have a pre-release version with Intercom version 15.10.3 and this does not crash, but this is not helpful for the thousands of users on the old version. I don’t see anywhere saying SDK 14.0.0 is deprecated. Also, iOS is working fine. No changes have been made our side. Is there an issue Intercom’s side here?Crash details:Fatal Exception: java.util.NoSuchElementException: List is empty. at kotlin.collections.CollectionsKt___CollectionsKt.first(_Collections.kt:214) at io.intercom.android.sdk.m5.helpcenter.components.CollectionSummaryComponentKt.constructByAuthorsText(CollectionSummaryComponent.kt:108) at io.intercom.android.sdk.m5.helpcenter.components.CollectionSummaryComponentKt.CollectionSummaryComponent(CollectionSummaryComponent.kt:72) at io.intercom.android.s
