I shortened my profile name in Fin.ai to my forename. Here in the community profile still appears my full name. Can’t I change this?

The intercom-android Github repo includesSamples on how to use the Intercom Android SDK Changelog JavadocsHowever, the Javadocs seem to be very old (last updated 6 years ago). Is there a way to find the javadocs for a specific version of the SDK?

Please make the customer name in Fin’s greeting bold, so it matches the rest of the message formatting. Right now the greeting can show the name in plain text while other text is bold, which looks inconsistent. A screenshot of the current behavior is attached. 

When a Banner is active in Intercom, teams should have the option to make its content available to Fin as a knowledge source. When the Banner is paused or deleted, that content should be automatically removed from Fin's knowledge base without any manual steps.The problemBanners are commonly used to communicate important product changes, outages, or announcements. In practice, many customers dismiss or skim banners without fully absorbing the information. This generates avoidable support volume — customers contact support asking questions the banner already answered.Fin has no visibility into active banner content today, so it cannot answer these questions accurately or consistently, even when the information is current and relevant.There are existing workarounds — such as creating a snippet or article with the same content — but these require manual cleanup after the banner is removed. Without that cleanup, outdated information remains in Fin's knowledge base, which creates a different

Hello,We’re experiencing an issue when using showNewMessage with a pre-populated message.After the page and the Intercom widget are initialized, we call showNewMessage. However, if the chat widget has been opened and then closed beforehand, the chat opens without the pre-populated message. In contrast, if the widget has not been opened prior to calling showNewMessage, the message is correctly pre-filled and everything works as expected. Could you please help investigate whether this is a known issue and if there is a recommended workaround or planned fix? Thank you for your support!

Hi,We are experiencing bugs with the Intercom SDK when using voice-to-text (speech-to-text / dictation) to compose support chat messages in the Intercom Messenger on both iOS and Android.Environment:- @intercom/intercom-react-native v9.8.0 (latest)- React Native 0.79, Expo SDK 53- iOS and Android (tested on multiple devices)- Intercom Messenger presented via setLauncherVisibility / presentIntercom- Old Architecture (New Architecture / TurboModules disabled, RCT_NEW_ARCH_ENABLED=0)Bug 1 — iOS: Sent message text not cleared from input fieldWhen a user composes a message using iOS voice-to-text (dictation) and taps Send, the message is successfully delivered to the conversation. However, the sent text remains in the text input field instead of being cleared.Steps to reproduce (iOS):1. Open the Intercom Messenger on iOS2. Tap the text input field3. Activate voice-to-text (dictation) via the microphone icon on the iOS keyboard4. Dictate a message5. Tap the Send buttonExpected behavior:The m

Hey all,Fin just let me know that data connector fields can’t really be used in a workflow- only through a procedure. I can run the data connector function through a workflow, but then I can’t actually access any of the fields that data connector found to further the conversation. The answer Fin gave me is that this can only be accessed via a procedure.Is this the case? If so, I don’t understand why this functionality would be locked behind Fin procedures- there’s nothing fancy going on with this API call that requires AI.   

Hey everyone, I’m Beth, Help Center Manager here at Intercom. Besides creating articles, one of the most important duties of managing a Help Center is making sure those articles are kept up-to-date and helpful. Our articles are not only used by our customers, but are also seen and shared by our support reps. Equipped with their deep knowledge of Intercom’s products and features, they’re often the first ones to spot content that looks stale or inaccurate, so who better to flag it than our own Support team, and what better place than from the article itself? By setting up an inbound Workflow from our Help Center, support reps can make article update requests or submit new article ideas, straight from the Messenger. Their request details can either be captured in the conversation thread, or by sending a ticket. These requests are automatically triaged into a specific Workflows, where I can easily pick them up. Tickets are great for capturing all the details needed to action the request, a

I’m using series to promote webinars / events. Such a series won’t be relevant after a specific date. I can set a date to stop a single email or post from being sent out, but not pause a series? Please provide this feature so that I don’t send outdated information out to customers if I forget to manually pause a series.

For an Android app that targets API 33 and that includes FCM for push notifications, what is the advice on requesting the NOTIFICATION permission?My usecase: We have a tab in our app that when pressed, calls Intercom.client().present(). While the user is viewing the HelpCenter, the user could start a customer support chat. This is an ideal moment to request the NOTIFICATION permission. The user just sent a chat message and likely expects a notification when there is a reply.Is there a way for our app to know when the user sent a message so we can request the permission? Or does the intercom SDK request the notification permission on behalf of the app if needed?Versions:Intercom Android SDK v15.1.3 App targetSDK 33 Firebase BOM 30.0.0 (Firebase Messaging 23.0.4)

Hi guys, I recently integrated intercom in our app React Native app running Expo 54. @intercom/intercom-react-native (^9.6.3). I noticed whenever I build on EAS, calling present() or presentMessageComposer() opens two instances of the messenger bottomsheet in our app. Doesn’t happen whenever I try to build locally using prebuild tho. Has anyone encountered this before? 

Right now, the ‘Call missed by …’ detail only shows in the conversation event log (when enabled), but it can’t be used as a reporting dimension.Please add a reporting attribute so we can chart ‘missed by teammate’ and see how many calls each teammate missed in a period (e.g., this day, week etc), instead of it looking like the person who answered missed them.Currently if i use the reporting metric “Team Missed Call Count” then use any of the graphs other than “KPI” it is listing the person who answered the phone call as the person who had missed the calls on its way to that person.

With Intercom Android SDK, we call Intercom.initialize in the Application sub-class.We only login a user when they login to our app. On our login screen, we have a button that should open an intercom help article. We just call Intercom.client().presentContent(myId) when the user clicks this button.Recently, this leads to “Something wen wrong. Try again” message. Logging in and logging out fixes the problem.My question is: Is it required to have a registered user (perhaps an unidentified one) before calling presentContent()?

We have an integration that posts comments to tickets via POST /tickets/{ticket_id}/reply using an admin user. We've noticed that when the ticket is unassigned, Intercom auto-assigns it to our integration's admin. We'd like to undo this by setting assignee_id to "0" via PUT /tickets/{ticket_id}, but this also clears the team_assignee_id -- even though we're not passing team_assignee_id in the request body.Two questions:1. Is there a way to unassign the admin_assignee_id (via assignee_id: "0") without also clearing the team_assignee_id? Our PUT request only includes assignee_id, but the team gets removed as a side effect.2. Is there a way to set team_assignee_id via the API after a ticket has been created? We've tried including it in the PUT /tickets/{ticket_id} request body and get a 200 response, but the team assignment doesn't actually update on the ticket.  We're using API version 2.14. Any guidance would be appreciated.

In the instance where you have resolved a clients original question, and they reopen the ticket after a number of days/weeks with an unrelated query, what is the most efficient way (least number of clicks/typing) to take their latest query and have this log separately?The advice from before () seems outdated as Linked tickets are now grouped into Tracker, Back-office, or Side, which this doesn’t seem to cover (unless I’m misunderstanding the use cases).Thanks!

Curious how others are approaching Monitors and scorecards in Intercom since the release. What types of conversations are you flagging? How are you structuring your scorecards? What criteria are you using to evaluate performance? How are you using the results once you have them?What’s been genuinely useful for your team so far?

Has anyone experienced different responses when using batch test over preview? I feel like it does not have access to my full configuration like its persona. For example, I have renamed my Agent, but it will still refer to itself as Fin.

We're using the Fin AI Agent on a Shopify store with only light integration to Zendesk (mostly using Fin to handle customer questions about our site, products, and policies via chat—no complex workflows or heavy ticketing yet). We have thousands of products in our catalog, and Fin keeps randomly suggesting or highlighting specific ones (e.g., naming a particular brand/model like "Check out the XYZ-5000" or "Look at this popular option from Brand A") while completely ignoring hundreds of other equally comparable alternatives. This leads to unbalanced, unintended recommendations that we don't want at all. I’d rather have them do their own search than be directed to several random options vs. the hundreds fully available, FAILED  I've tried instructing "Guidance" not to do this in every possible way to block this:Strong overrides like "CRITICAL RULE - OVERRIDE ALL OTHER INSTRUCTIONS: NEVER mention/recommend..." Direct "YOU MUST..." commands with ALL CAPS emphasis Concrete examples of acce

Hello team,Do Intercom have to option to change the sound for the ring when receiving the phone calls?Thank you

We are sending messages using Intercom’s REST API and after completing a task on our platform side, we would like to inform the customer that:“The team will get back to you on this. Our usual reply time is 1 day. You'll get replies here and to email@example.com.” (sent from William’s Admin ID)However, this causes an unintended side-effect with our auto-assignment rules:Because Intercom treats this as a teammate reply, when the auto-assignment occurs (balanced assignment). We auto-assign conversations based on “waiting longest”, so this causes these conversations to be de-prioritised and skipped, and they will only be picked up again if the customer replies.As a workaround, we currently: Do not send a message to the customer, and instead Use the API to unassign the conversation and move it into a manually monitored inbox where it auto-assigned and picked up. This avoids breaking the assignment logic, but it leaves the customer confused because they receive no acknowledgement that we a

I’m using a Custom Action with some Datetime elements.Whenever I have empty element I send the response back to Intercom using something like this:"0000-00-00T00:00:00+04:00",When I test the Custom Action, the “Test response” brings back exactly this Datetime format, and it gives me a 200 OK.Same for “Data transformation” and “Object Mapping”, all OK.However, in production, we are getting several errors. The Intercom Logs of this Custom Action suggest the Mapping is not happening (when the request and response are 200 OK). The only different data I saw between a Log with a mapping and a Log without the mapping was an “empty” Datetime, like the one above. What’s the proper way of sending an Empty Datetime?
