Deploy Fin

Hi! I'm currently in the process of setting up Fin for email. As we'd like to offer personalized (Human) Customer Support to our Users, I want to set up Fin for email for Leads. However, 56% of our emails sent by Leads are spam/marketing messages, and I don't want to be charged for all these emails.In related topics (How to avoid Fin trying to offer solutions to marketing emails and other spam?) I see that other users tag these emails and exclude them from Fin's audience. However, I'm not sure how to identify these emails as such so I can set up my workflows and give them a tag. Does anyone have some advice? 🙏 Thanks in advance!

We’re trying out Fin for email conversations. One issue that I imagine is not unique to us is that we get quite a lot of marketing mails to our support@ and hello@ emails. And now when we do, Fin treats that as a customer needing some help. I’m not sure this is a huge issue, other than the fact that Intercom will charge us for each such case since the Fin response will go unanswered and eventually he’ll close the case and considered it “assumed resolved” 💸Has anyone figured out a good way to manage this kind of inbound “spam” that ends up with Fin?

We sometimes receive auto-generated structured emails to our support inbox.These emails represent a request to doa. specific action for a cusotmer, not a gerneral qurestion.How can we instruct Fin to ignore specific emails which can be identified from fixed templated body team, and will also include a fixed text string in every subject line?

Hello! I’m starting to use Fin AI to answer more queries. At the moment, it’s only involved in some kinds of conversations and we’ll expand it to other topics gradually.My question is, does Fin process the buttons the user selected when looking for an answer? In my example below, would Fin process that the first message was “Help with my subscription”, and therefore look for the answer in subscription-related knowledge bases? Example of workflow Thank you!

1- I want away to add context to fin, more of general guidance of how to best reply; stuff like:Your answer has to be no longer than x lines. Avoid using the following terms. Avoid adding resources to the end of the msg.2- Also, my fin is taking to long to answer, how can I fix it? 

Hello, The feature “Let Fin introduce itself” is only available in the Fin over Chat settings but it isn’t available in the FinAI configuration for workflow. It would be better to have this feature (even if it’s disabled by default) so that visitors/users know that they can ask a question.

Idea created:  

We’re testing out Fin, and for one of our chat conversations, Fin didn’t provide an answer immediately. The customer sent another message an hour later, and then Fin replied. Fin greeted the customer in the widget just fine prior to the initial customer message.Any ideas on what would cause a delay? Could it be customer environment? Or an occasional glitch in Fin? 

Objective: Set up Fin AI to transition the conversation to a human agent, but only after the user completes a payment through Stripe.I've created a custom action for Stripe that connects to Fin, initiating a Stripe payment intent. The payment link is successfully generated and appears in the logs, but Fin doesn’t display the link to the user in the chat.Question: How can I configure Fin to send this Stripe payment link directly to the user within the chat? Then, check if the payment status is successful and if it is only then transition user to help desk agent?

Hello,It would be extremely helpful for us if the conversation url was added to the review suggestion for FIN.Currently it’s practically impossible to find the conversation back and very often the context of the conversation would be useful to understand if the feedback is relevant. And also to understand the reason why FIN gave the answer it gave (if it answered in the first place).It seems like a quick fix, but as mentioned very helpful for us.Thanks for considering it!levi

Our help center content often tells customers to contact support directly. However, when customers are writing in, Fin is pulling in that recommendation even though they are already in contact with Support. It is a bit redundant since they are already contacting support. Any recommendations on how to handle this? Can we block Fin from stating that at all? 

Dear Team, I have a specific question related to Fin troubleshooting capabilities.  Is there a reliable/recommended way to make Fin ask follow-up questions to user queries? For example, there might be a Help Center article for login issues that might involve several sequential steps (some of them are not always relevant), or we might have 2 different versions of a similar product, and the correct answer might depend on the version of it the user is using (let’s say instructions 1 are for a red version, instructions 2 are for a blue version). How can we make Fin ask a relevant question (is it option 1 or 2, have you already tried this or that) without providing general answers that might be too wordy? Is there a way to obtain these results directly with Fin and content optimization without complicated workflow setups? Thank you! 

I have Starter license. Every time I try to activate FIN it forces me to hire customised answers. Please can someone help me to know how i can activate fin by skipping this step.Thanks in advance. Best regards. Teresa

Hi EveryoneI am evaluating Intercom for our college. I am trying to set up the FIN ChatBot by giving it the webpage of our college, which has extensive information (1487 results). However, when I test the ChatBot using the test feature on the app.intercom.com portal, it cannot answer a single question - even when I ask highly tailored questions based on our website content.Anyway ideas what I am doing wrong?We are looking for a ChatBot that can understand our website content, then help users to find what they are looking for - perhaps this is not the “sweet spot” of Intercom?I’d be grateful for any help or advice!Cheers, Ken

Hello,my team and I are trying to setup a workflow for our users to talk to Fin to answer questions. We are attempting to use the “Customer opens a new conversation in the Messenger” workflow to start the conversation with Fin. However, it appears that Fin can not be placed in step “A. Welcome”. You have to click “I have a question” which points to step “B. Path” where Fin is then initialized and can take over from there.In contrast, when using a workflow that starts with “Customer clicks a website element” we are able to place Fin in to Step A as desired.Is it possible to have Fin initialized in Step A for the “customer opens a new conversation in the messenger” workflow? If not, I would love some more details about why this is a limitation. Thank you!

Hi there! Is there a way to change the some of the automated responses from FIN? Currently my responses look like this   I want to change the last two messages. Is that possible?

Hi,On proactive web chat message, I have choose “let Fin respond” but it only says time to be responded. Is it possible to answer to customer? is it possible to ask for email when nobody answer? and “continue on WhatsApp”?Thanks

Is there a way that I can link Fin to our Intercom macros?  We have a ton of great information in the macros that would be a huge help for personalizing Fin for our product and the common questions we get from our clients.

I’m seeing this error when I try to set live a new workflow. Our front end SDK’s are all updated. The new workflow includes the new “Let customer type” option 

HiWe’d like to stop using our staff on intercom chat, and use Fin to resolve as many customer questions as possible, and if not, we’d like our service desk (outside of intercom) to resolve the customer question from then on.Is there a way to automate sending the conversation via email to our service desk if Fin has not resolved the customer’s question?Thanks

I have a specific hand over process for Fin to complete when a customer wishes to speak to a member of the team. Part of this process involves collecting information about the customer through some basic questions.I have had multiple instances where customers get to this step and then stop sending responses. Fin then closes these conversations, and I never end up seeing them.In an ideal world, when a customer stops responding during a hand over, I would like Fin to automatically assign the conversation to a team member. If this is not possible, I at least want to prevent the conversation from being closed.Any advice?

If we wanted to only use Fin overnight and on weekends, is that possible? So that we can offer it as a fallback out of hours, while we get it working seamlessly, and during the day people will always get straight through to the CS team?
