Contacts

To start with, Hubspot is telling me to ask Intercom for help, and Intercom tells me they can’t do anything and to ask Hubspot.I am trying to sync new companies created in Hubspot to Intercom. In Hubspot, for some reason I have two integrations (this may be problematic, I don’t know).The “Built by Intercom” Intercom integration won’t let me edit anything.The “Built by Hubspot” integration is editable. When I configure it, it says that thousaands of companies are in sync, a handful are failed, and a handful are excluded (this is expected). In Intercom I have only a few dozen companies in my contacts section (this is unexpected). When I look further, I see specific companies and see that the system thinks they are indeed synced. I look for those specific companies and do not find them. To summarize so far, the Hubspot integration tells me everything looks great, but in Intercom, I don’t see the companies.To make matters more complicated, but to provide another hint at the problem, I have

How can I sort companies alphabetically by name? I want to identify duplicate companies, but I can’t sort them by name.  

Hi! Is there anyone else that finds the ‘User Notes’ or ‘Lead Notes’ too plain? We would love to leverage this feature, but it lacks any formatting options, hypertext links, etc. We don't use any CRM outside of Intercom and consider this feature very limited.Would you find it useful if the feature was more advanced? 

Did you know you can add formatting to User/Lead notes using HTML and Markdown language? Its really useful when you want certain notes to standout.Check out the images below to see what it looks like. I’ve also included the formatting in a code block so you can try it out yourself.  The below has HTML and Markdown elements in it.Headings<h1>Heading level 1</h1> <h2>Heading level 2</h2> <h3>Heading level 3</h3> <h4>Heading level 4</h4><h5>Heading level 5</h5><h6>Heading level 6</h6>TextI just love <strong>bold text</strong>.Italicized text is the <em>cat's meow</em>.This text is <em><strong>really important</strong></em>.Lines can be done 3 ways---___***Blockquotes> This is a blockquote---> This is a blockquote>>> This is nested a blockquote***> #### The blockquote has a heading>> - bullet point 1> - bullet point 2>> *With* more format

Hi,I am looking for all users who are not affiliated with companies.The filter behavior is unclear.I filter for company is unknown but I am getting users with or without a company. See picture below  One more image: 

How can I assign owner to a company? We are a B2B business and our reps are each assigned to a group of companies. We can assign owner to contacts but those change often and we need to segment companies by their account owners. Thanks,

How can I dynamically insert an external link in the user ID field on the contact page, so that clicking on it directs to another website? 

Hello brains trust! I am trying to find an easy solution to take a property from Hubspot and put it into a Company Custom Attribute in intercom.I’m using Zapier and everything is going well until I get to the “Company” in the action.My flow is this:Trigger: Property update hubspot.Only continue if: property matches what I want.Find company in Intercom.Action: Update company in intercom - for “Company (Required)”, I point it to the “Company Id” from my find.Then I get an error: Failed to create a company in IntercomThe app returned "missing 'company_id' parameter". This exact workflow works if I were to tag a company, so the ID definitely matches up.I’m at a loss - is this just not possible, or am I doing something wrong? Halp! Thank you!!

We have the Salesforce app, and all our clients have accounts in Salesforce, but you can only sync data to salesforce accounts via companies. All our contacts in intercom are either leads or users. So how do convert users to companies in order to sync data?

I’m working on the data of my company via intercom and some of my clients with the same User ID have more than one subscription plan, with different addresses. Is it possible to save multiple contacts with the same User ID? Do i need to provide one User ID for each subscription plan?

Intercom's Visitor model captures info about anonymous website browsers like pages viewed and their UTM source info. This is super valuable and if they send a message through Intercom the visitor is converted into a Lead so you can see all of that valuable info.  What I can't figure out is how to convert a Visitor into a Lead using a form submission. Intercom does not offer any form tools so the form necessarily must sit elsewhere. I am happy to use most form builders (Typeform, Google, etc). As it happens I'm currently using Unstack's built in form tool. All of these form tools allow you to create a new Lead in Intercom using Zapier but this is not connected to the Visitor so it provides none of the valuable intelligence about the person's journey before they completed the form.  Are there any ways, ideally using no code tools like Zapier, to convert a visitor into a lead when they complete a website form?  When I was exploring GoSquared they offered a method to do

Or, is there a way to integrate an API call that somehow adds a company note? Basically, our support of our companies revolves around events, which we're wanting to expose to our chat support team. We're looking at CRM's right now to possibly be able to sync this information somehow, but it's not always available, so if a chat agent finds this information out, I'd like a way for them to be able to add it so that it sticks to the Company profile somehow. The only way I can think of right now is for them to just add this via company note. But exploring Qualification data, it seems like this could be collected via bot, which would alleviate some of that workload by our team! It seems like qualification data is the only set of fields that can be manually edited, and all others are custom attributes able to receive information via API or other sync methods from outside sources. Is my understanding correct? Also - with qualification data, I'm unsure if that info flow

Why do contacts, created successfully via API with a 201 Created response in Intercom, not appear in API searches or lists immediately? Is this delay typical, and are there any suggestions to ensure prompt availability of newly created contacts in both the Intercom interface and API searches/lists?

We currently have several clients whose phones require pressing 1 or 2 in order to connect. On Intercom Help Desk we are unable to use these functions which means we aren’t able to connect. How do we make this work for our outbound calls? All articles about IVR systems on Intercom pertain to inbound. 

user tagging seems to be frozen / broken in my intercom account in the ‘contacts’ section. It's been stuck populating a tag for 20 minutes, with the loading icon that says 'contacts are being added to tag' when you hover over it. This is happening across different devices / accounts, and seems to be blocking both the creation of new tags, and the archival or deletion of the tag that's stuck. The tag is only trying to populate 199 user accounts, so shouldn't take long at allhas anyone else run into this issue, and how did you overcome it if so?

Hey all! First post here.  So here is my situation: One of our users is named John Michael LastName - "John Michael" being their full first name. We send a lot of outbound messages (emails, posts, etc.) and use the First Name token to pull in everyone's first name in our greeting. Unfortunately, for this user, it is just pulling in "John" every time. This user has written us back multiple times letting us know their full name and that they would like to be addressed as such (understandably!). So, I am wondering, is there any way we can explicitly set in Intercom that their first name is "John Michael" and NOT "John"? Thanks in advance! 🙂

if we receive an email from a new user that is part of an existing company, we do not have an easy way to link them to the company.  I do not know how to do anything with API and it seems silly to hire a developer everytime I need a little change.

How would I manually update a contact’s avatar? We cannot send the profile picture from our website/user accounts to Intercom. Does anyone know of a more manual way to do this? Examples would be if there were a way to add a Linkedin link that would parser the profile image link from there and post it to their Intercom contact page. I use Popl and it can automatically scrape information from the web to autofill contact cards, and I am trying to find something like that. I am also trying to make this with Zapier but for some reason I can’t find the correct attribute key to use for the avatar itself.

I can not see any plan. Actually I don't find how to add plan to Intercom. 

I have an event that comes from Stripe called "received discount" which has metadata coupon_id, percent_off, amount_off, and duration. I want to be able to create a filtered view for users that received discount with a specific coupon_id. I am able to view this event and metadata in the user profile it just appears that for filtering purposes you can only filter on date or count.

Hey everyone,What I’d like to do is create a new contact field called “App URL”. Then I’d like to autofill this information based on data from another field. For example, if email contains company.com.au then I want the App URL to be “app.company.com.au”.Alternatively, is there a way to simply get the current page URL to use in an outbound message Action?

I understand that Companies need to be created via API, I also understand they show when they have 1 associated user - but sadly even with the Developer Hub and knowledge of sending API requests and Postman as well; I can’t get this to work at all.For Attaching a Contact:Why does the Body only include an ID? No company ID, user ID ever seems to do anything with this.{ "id": "64e5e25c35824d3aabb0e535" }Is there a video or simple walk through that simply shows how to create a simple Company and associates 1 User; it would be really helpful as its far too time consuming.After hours of trying, still cant create a single Company or attach one user.

I have a need to cleanup my contact list. I would like to delete all current clients and import a new list. (we do not have an API integration and manually load clients)My thought is:1)Export the current list and save off.2)Copy the export list to edit Contacts, Segments and Tags3)Import the new entire list into IntercomCan anyone tell me if this is the BEST way to accomplish this?  

How to get the actual count of how many users are online right now, without having to count them by scrolling and counting manually.

Hiya.We push event data on our contacts. Like when they perform a “search” or a “download”, some of the events with additional properties like “keyword” or “download type”.Is there any way to export ALL events on all contacts, so we can do some data mining on them with our own tools?Export either as plain CSV’s, or maybe to tools like BigQuery?I’ve had a brief look at the API, but it looks like (I may be wrong) you can only query events for specific contacts. We need the events from everyone.Or are there maybe apps than can be used for this? SeekWell maybe?/Soeren S.
