Can I set up a workflow that automates letting customers know we're closing soon via our office hours?

Can i create a workflow that sends a message to all open conversations in a specific inbox letting customers know our support agents will be going offline soon based on our office hours? For example, 20 minutes before our default office hours, can a message be triggered and sent to all open conversations in ABC inbox?

Prevent ratings on old conversations

We have enabled the setting to prevent Customers from changing their rating after  a set time (1hr) but this does not seem to extend to conversations that have not been previously rated. We have had a few instances of disgruntled customers going back and rating chats from days prior. Is there a setting to prevent this?

Lead data in Custom action

Hi, can you please advise if Custom Actions can be used without HTTP/S request? We already send all information to us via Lead Data and would like to just display the buttons from the Lead Data attribute to the user.For example, in this case, if the user has an array of userid attribute lead data, then it should display a button with this userid (In our case it is not an array, so the button will be one)How to output this data for the user without requesting a get to a third-party site?

I have created two custom bots for landing pages that should be triggered when a customer opens messenger. I am not able to get them to work. Any common issues or errors I should know about?

I have 2 custom bots that are set to when a customer opens messenger on 2 different landing pages. I have tried to utilize the "when currently URL is" and "when current URL contains" with no luck on either page/bot. When I recreated the bot and used "when customer visits your site" the bot works. Our marketing and sales team do not want the translucent pop up that this creates. they only want this bot to work if the customer opens the messenger. Is there something I should be looking out for? Maybe a simple setting or set up piece that I'm overlooking? any help would be greatly appreciated.

How are users gathering data to improve their custom bots?

Hi there! Our team has been using Intercom for quite a few years and has spent a good deal of time trying to understand the behaviour of our users to improve our custom bots. We currently use the “Path Analysis” tab within each custom bot to understand which options are most selected and pull this data into a spreadsheet. A data download feature is something we have previously requested to make it easier for us to record this information though I have seen no traction.Other than that we use tags that are automatically applied for specific reactions to messages from the bot (e.g., add a “resolved” tag to a conversation when a user selects that their issue was resolved by the bot) and we perform some very manual conversation analysis by reviewing conversations tagged with an unresolved tag (because they went to a live agent).We found that the conversation topics feature Intercom has does not really get into the nitty gritty details we need nor are we able to distinguish between custom bo

How to enable/disable Suggest help articles for specific cases in the Custom Bot/Workflows

We have the Suggest help articles option enabled in our Automation. However, when using Custom Bot / Workflows in some cases we don’t want the Suggest help articles to be sent in the chat as it is irrelevant. Is there a way to stop this just for specific parts of our workflow? I've tried a lot and it seems that the only way to stop it is to close the conversation, but I don't want this to happen.

Closing chats

I have a bot flow built, but on some of them I want them to close if the ‘end bot’ doesn’t get completed by the customer. Is that possible? Example: Bot → customer answer → article delivered → Customer is given a choice to chat, end, or start over.I want a bot to close out the chat if they never respond. Is that possible for it to run only on this small section of the flow?

Updating a ticket attribute from a rule

Hi our company is making some custom sets of sla’s for tickets within intercom in order to do this we have made an api and linked it via a webhook. However this only works with conversation attributes that have been updated from some rules we have created. We cant seem to do the same with ticket attributes, is there a way of  updating ticket attributes from rules or custom bots much in the same way you can apply them to a conversation?

Custom bot to prompt customers to leave review on third party websites based on customer rating response.

Hello -We have enabled the conversation rating feature in Intercom, but also wanted to follow up with the customers that left certain ratings. For 4 or 5 star ratings, we would like to send a follow up message to thank them and request a review on a separate website.  For 3 star ratings and below, we would like to send a message regarding an escalation and that a manager would be reaching out shortly.  Additionally, we are trying to integrate slack notifications w/ these messages to make us aware when a particular message is sent to one of those cohorts of customers. Is this possible?

Is it possible to feed page data into a Trigger for a custom bot?

I’m digging into the details behind the Triggers feature for Custom Bots, specifically “when a customer clicks on a website element” and I’m trying to understand if it’s possible for this Trigger to feed specific data about the button, or the page that the button is on, to the Custom Bot. The premise for us is that we have a pretty massive Help Center, and what I want to happen is that when a customer clicks on a button on certain pages in our app, it will automatically search the Help Center and return results based on the page that they are on. We’re currently doing this by feeding the page title into a search URL that opens in another browser tab, but I would love for this to be possible within the Messenger itself. Has anyone done or achieved anything similar?

Specific setup help

Hi everyone, apologies in advance if this is covering some very basic territory! I’m new to Intercom and am struggling to work things out on my own.I’d like to set up two chats on a company website:1) Live chatA messenger pop-up that enables visitors to chat directly with a member of the team during specific times and days of the week. Once the user submits text into the chat, they wait for a reply (in other words, there are no more automated replies from the company in the chat).Ideally, we wouldn’t want the estimated response time to display. 2) Out-of-office chat botA chat bot that is active during out-of-office hours, which captures the following:- Name- Email- QuestionThe question field would ideally not have a word limit (we’re a medical company and our patients often send detailed messages about their symptoms).I’ve tried setting up the second chat using data fields to capture name, email and question. However, when I look at incoming messages, I can’t see the text visitors inpu

Pull Salesforce data into conversion?

Hi - we offer a free tool that assigns a unique download URL for the prospect that stores in a field in Salesforce. I’d like to be able to match the lead in the chat by email and then pull their download URL for them from their record in Salesforce. What’s the best way to achieve this? We have the field syncing from Salesforce to Intercom currently but not sure how to pull the information into the conversation once they provide their email. TIA!

Can I slow down the speed that custom bot bubbles appear to the customer?

i.e. If I have one path, with a message that is split into 3 bubbles, can I delay how fast each of the 3 bubbles shows? they display too quickly and customers often miss the info in the first bubble, esp. on mobile.
