Data

Hi all,I'm building a labeling/tagging system for a fintech support team in Intercom and want to start simple, then expand.Context:Small support team handling inbound fintech queries (payments mostly) Using tags only for now (no custom attributes yet) Eventual goal: pipe tagged conversation data into a data warehouse for reporting/analysisWhat I'm looking for:Examples of tag taxonomies others have used for support (fintech) Is it ok to use inly tags and automated topics?  Pitfalls to avoid — tag sprawl, inconsistent application by agents, etc.Happy to share what I land on once it's live, in case it helps others in the same boat. Thanks in advance!

I'm trying to distinguish how a ticket was created — specifically whether it was created manually by a teammate in the inbox, or created programmatically via the API (e.g. from a custom application).The goal is to build a report on this breakdown, either using a native Intercom report/dashboard or by pulling the data out via the API into an external tool. For either approach, I need a reliable attribute or object that flags the creation source.I've gone through the API documentation but haven't found anything that reliably indicates this. Is there a field, event type, or other way to determine this?A few things that would help:- Any attribute (e.g. on the Ticket, Source, or Admin object) that flags whether a conversation originated from the API vs. the inbox UI- Whether this can be surfaced in Intercom's native reporting (e.g. as a filter/breakdown in Reports), or only via the API- If no such field exists today, whether this is something that could be added, or a recommended workaround

The leads are all accurateNo error is shown, just that 3700 have been added 

Hi, I just exported a few companies but there seems no way to reimport the company's, it's only possible to import leads and users. Is there a way to import the the same data?​sadly there are alot of features, that are not available for companies.

Hello Support, We have run into a recurring issue where customer company names are not being auto-filled in the drop-down box at the top of tickets, despite the ticket having a “Company details” association in the side menu. It seems like the problem is Intercom automatically associating our own company with the ticket, causing two values to appear in the company drop-down box, meaning none of them get selected by default. Is this expected behavior, and is there a solution / workaround to prevent this from happening? 

how do i manually edit users and leads? i need to edit “company” this is what i see when i click on “edit” button  

We are new integrating Intercom with our systems. Right now having problems with location object... Where can i get some list of valid (countries, regions, cities) in order to map correcctly?

Hi, I’m not sure if this has been addressed before, I couldn’t find an existing topic. Is there a way to manually create a user or lead in Intercom without entering an email address? I understand we can use either an Email or User ID for new users, but in this case, our agent needs to start a WhatsApp conversation with a lead who doesn’t have an account with us yet. The lead was referred through another channel and has no prior conversation history, so there’s no record in our Intercom database. Since the customer doesn’t have an email, we’re looking to manually create a lead using only their phone number.!--endfragment>!--startfragment>

I want to use the REST API to update a contact's language_override, but it seems that it’s not working. Can I update a contact’s language_override using the API: PUT https://api.intercom.io/contacts/:contactId? 

When we get new customers, a user profile is created with their email address and phone number included. However, it does not identify the existing profile whenever they finally use the messenger. We have enabled the workflow to search by email address, but it’s creating a new lead profile for each conversation. How can we stop the creation of duplicate profiles going forward?How can we force merge the existing duplicate profiles so their conversation history isn’t lost?

There is a bug in Intercom's contact field timestamp display. After a day, the timestamp field switches to a "relative" format (e.g., '3 days ago'). When attempting to view or extract the absolute date after this period, some fields revert to displaying the Unix Epoch—January 1, 1970—instead of the correct timestamp  

Is there any roadmap for being able to add multiple email addresses to a contact?We integrate with Hubspot and we can merge profiles together in the console along with being able to have multiple email addresses for the same contact. The issue we are facing is that we have someone reach out to us who isn't authenticated and they enter their email address, it's different to the one they authenticate with and it creates a lead profile. Or the send us an email or they reply to an email in a thread from a different email address. It creates them as a lead.We can have some users with 4 different email addresses, but they're the same person representing different brands. We treat them as 1 user in our platform also.Intercom counts them as 4 people towards your contacts and also holds it for 90 days since the last contact which means we end up using more contacts than we really are. It would be handy if you can identify them in the console and hit a merge function, the same way Hu

My customer has changed their email address but I can’t seem to update it in my Intercom platform. How do I do this?

We have reached the limit of 120 events.Would be great to increase this limit to 150 or 200 for example. Is that possible from Intercom team?

I am looking for documentation on how CDA attributes are created and updated as these attributes change, specifically how these are updated when the CDA originates from a 3rd party system (e.g. when customer data is updated in our CRM, how do I synchronize these changes in the Intercom CDA array?)

Im getting the error message in the title when i try to change the name of a user.I imported alot of my data from zendesk, and its created a user with the wrong name, but the email is one of our sending and incoming email domains. We own this email, but we cannot change the name in intercom, and its causing alot of confusion how can i edit the name of this email please

We can choose which attributes are shown (or hidden) but how can we re-order the list? For example, we might want the first 3 items to be:  phoneconnection countjob title but display a lot more than this below. At the moment we need to scroll to find these higher value fields in a longer list. We'd rather see them at the top.  

I am merging two intercom platforms into one. How do I ensure all of the data columns of an intercom csv export, is imported into the new Intercom? I exported the full data of a single user onto a CSV file. I IMPORTED the same CSV file after changing the email address as a test.  Most of the data did not import, like "First Seen" etc. The 6 that the imported asked for worked fine (ID, email etc) It is critical that all of the data is imported. How? Thanks!

I have duplicates of some users, all with the same email address. How did this happen? How can I fix it?

We are calling loginUnidentifiedUser() when user open the app without user login and if user logged in, then  calling Intercom.loginUserWithUserAttributes({ userId: userId, })but we are getting Error - Error in loginUserWithUserAttributes 

Hello, team. I would like to find a way to monitor specific tags. Which users got tagged, by whom (specific agent, bot, series). As I can see, the information about who and when set the tag is available in intercom, but I cannot find any way to filter this info. I checked the teammate logs (there is no Tag-related activity written there).And of course the standard "People" section. Filter "tag" only work as yes/no attribute. Perhaps anyone got an insight on this? Thank you in advance

For example, if a designer is working for three of our customers and therefore is tied to three companies in Intercom, and one of those is an enterprise customer with an SLA, we would want to treat the designer as part of the SLA. How would we ensure the routing works? I can't see a way to create inbox rules stipulating that Intercom needs to review all the companies tied to this person and ensure they route them to our VIP box if one of the three companies is considered VIP. Any help much appreciated!
