I'm setting up a survey to be used as our cancellation flow so that when someone clicks "cancel my plan" in their account the Intercom survey opens. In the intro screen, I first want to make them aware that they have alternatives to cancelling like pausing their plan. I have a link that says "Chat with someone now and I want that to open up the Messenger, ideally with a custom bot that I can set up that knows this is a cancellation request.

Hey @liz h​ Racheal from the support engineer team here👋Â

While there isn't a built in way to use a hyperlink to open the Messenger, you could send the link to a specific page on your site and implement the Intercom('showNewMessage'); method on that page. This way when the user clicks on the link they will land on a page that has the Messenger already open. Some customers will create a blank page solely for the purpose of housing the Messenger for this use case. Using this method the Messenger will open as if a new conversation was just created.
