Hi! Evaluating Intercom now as a potential replacement for my previous support system. Setup has been great so far! However, I do see one potential showstopper in the Android SDK. When receiving a push notification it is possible to open the intercom messages directly from the notification, and then have a permanent “chat bubble” on the home screen. We are a very small team with a large userbase, and can’t have a direct line to support available on users home screens. Is there a way to disable this? I do want users to get notified when there is a new message, and it could be fine to open the messenger directly. However, to show a permanent chat bubble on the home screen is not something I am comfortable with. Can you disable this in some way?
Hello, I was recently testing the keyboard navigation on my help site and while most things work really well, when viewing a response in the Messenger I can’t seem to navigate into the Sources section. I’m not sure if I’m doing something wrong or if this isn’t currently possible. I would like all my users, including those only using keyboards, to be able to navigate to the bot’s sources.
When the related articles option is enabled in the Help Center, how does Intercom calculate what’s the most relevant? We have a lot of repeating types of documents for different products, we want to make sure it’s only recommending documents for that same product currently being viewed.
My team has run into a roadblock in setting up single sign on for our platform. We use OpenID, and it’s not configurable natively in Intercom. I’ve found some articles stating that some third party partners offer a ‘go between’ workaround for this, but I’d love to hear from the community if anyone has successfully set this up and what the experience was like with the third party they chose.
I am trying to integrate JIRA for Cloud with my Intercom Inbox. However, once a JIRA ticket is created, it is not getting linked to the Inbox panel. I manually added the link as well and it says in the note that the linking was successful - still do not see anything here.Am I missing anything?
How can I disable the “That helped / Speak to an agent” suggestion buttons? Also, why Fin showing the article at the end of each answer? Is there a way to stop that without creating a custom answer?
HelloAfter upgrading my app to Expo SDK 53 (React Native 0.79), the iOS build fails when using @intercom/intercom-react-native.Error message:❌ (ios/Tikin/AppDelegate.swift:1:2)> 1 | #import <IntercomModule.h> | ^ no macro named 'import' 2 | import Expo 3 | import React 4 | import ReactAppDependencyProvider› 1 error(s), and 3 warning(s)This line appears in the generated AppDelegate.swift:#import <IntercomModule.h>But #import is not valid in Swift files — this causes the build to fail.Environment: Expo SDK: 53 React Native: 0.79 @intercom/intercom-react-native version: [insert version if known] Build: EAS Build for iOS It seems the native module is injecting Objective-C code (#import) into a Swift file. Is there an update or change needed for compatibility with SDK 53 and RN 0.79?
We are just getting started on FinAI. When nobody is marked as available, but a user selects “talk to a person”, we’d like to train it to tell the user that nobody is here right now and we’ll get back to them soon. I have given FinAI guidance in the Communication Guidance and Handover & Escalation sections, but it doesn’t give the answer I trained it to give, and our users are left hanging with the expectation that a live agent will be with them soon. How do I train it to give specific information to a user to let them know we aren’t available right now and to leave their info? Or is there a way to automatically turn off “talk to a person” if nobody is marked available?
Hi everybody, we are integrating Intercom with two of our custom built applications. In these two applications we have built the standard integration with Intercom. When I sent a banner or chat from Intercom to these applications, they only appear within these applications when I do a refresh. Of course this is not the behaviour that we want: we want our users to directly see the banner/chat in the applications. Both applications a web based cloud native. It seems that the push mechanisme does not work. What are we doing wrong?
Is there a way to automatically trigger a Slack notification whenever a new lead is captured in Intercom? I want my team to get instant alerts in a specific Slack channel whenever a lead submits a form or starts a conversation (Read More). Are there any built-in integrations or recommended workflows to achieve this?
Here are the errors: jetified-intercom-sdk-base-15.10.3-runtime.jar: D8: java.lang.NullPointerException: Cannot invoke "String.length()" because "<parameter1>" is nullWhat I’ve Tried: Checked build.gradle for SDK version compatibility Cleaned and rebuilt project (./gradlew clean && ./gradlew build) Searched through Intercom docs and changelogs Looked at open issues in the GitHub repo My Setup: React Native version: 072 Intercom SDK version: 15.10.3 Gradle: 8.0.1 Questions: Are these methods deprecated or moved to a different namespace? Is there a recommended way to check login state and fetch user attributes in the latest SDK? Should I downgrade to a previous version of the Intercom SDK? Any help is greatly appreciated!
Hola comunidad,Estoy integrando Intercom en una app React Native (bare, usando EAS Build, no Expo Go) y tengo el siguiente problema:Uso el método Intercom.getUnreadConversationCount() para mostrar un badge de mensajes no leídos.El usuario está correctamente identificado (userId y email coinciden con los del panel web).Desde el panel web de Intercom, envío mensajes al usuario (tanto desde un agente humano como desde el bot).En el panel web, los mensajes aparecen como “Not seen” para el usuario.Sin embargo, en la app, el método getUnreadConversationCount() siempre retorna 0, incluso después de recibir mensajes nuevos y refrescar el conteo.Ya probé con mensajes automáticos/bot y tampoco se refleja el conteo.No necesito push notifications, solo quiero mostrar el número de mensajes no leídos.Estoy usando la última versión de @intercom/intercom-react-native y la integración nativa está bien (la mensajería funciona).¿Alguien ha tenido este problema?¿Hay alguna limitación conocida en el SDK de
Hi everyone, I'd like to get your two cents on the way Fin handles “assuming” it resolved an issue at the moment. Sorry for the essay 😅TL;DR: Fin assumes it has resolved an issue when you step in before a customers presses “Speak to Human”. I do this when Fin is completely wrong and I want to help the customer ASAP as they're in big trouble and I can help them out of it quickly. My situation:I work a company which makes photography hardware for event venues, museums, theme parks, etc. with which you can take a picture, replace backgrounds with themed ones (Friends, Harry Potter, F1, Bluey, etc.) and print them on location. Our system works on our inhouse SaaS platform. Locations that use our hardware are often so packed that there are long queues to take a pic. Supporting customers:When something goes wrong, hardware or software related, people on location instantly start “losing” money and they're stressed about it. Unsatisfied queues of visitors make the situation worse. When they
Hi,We’re trying to create a FIN AI agent for user interaction on our product support. We want to achieve the following - Create a ticket in Intercom and mark it as auto-closed if the person’s issue is resolved already. If the issue is not resolved, ask the person about his/her location and phone/email. After a ticket gets created and our agent is about to close, it should have the ability to pick and choose options for closure, like via phone, via text, via video.
Hi. This is on both Android (1.16.0) and iOS (18.7.2). When I start a conversation with the AI chatbot and use one of our predefined quick replies I need to wait until the textfield appears and then send a new text message or send a GIF before the AI reacts to the first quick replie I sent. This feels like a bug in the implementation and of course the chat should start right away if the user uses the quick replie feature,
