Our service is based on chatting with our clients. When they first register, they go through a non-intercom onboarding to our platform. Immediately after finishing registration and onboarding, a custom bot fires welcoming them to the platform. Once the client interacts with the bot, they get routed to an available agent via the round robin inbox function. We want the client to be roundrobin'd when they first receive the bot message - not after they respond/interact with the bot. How can I do that?
Does anyone use Macros for internal-facing agent procedural help? Step-by-step instructions? I don't want to use Guru. I want to keep my internal-facing needed knowledge available and searchable WITHIN Intercom.
Hello, we can't find a way to programmatically display an existing conversation in the Messenger, how to achieve this ?There seems to be no access like window.Intercom('showConversation', conversation_id).
Is there a way to disable the resubscribe option that displays after a person unsubscribes from an email since it doesn't actually do anything to resubscribe the individual in Marketo?
Is it possible to add email collectors in the product tours? If so, how can it be added? I haven't found any documentation about it. Thank you very much!
Where can I find the steps to setup intercom chat bot for logout users?
Should the app_id be secured or hidden in any way? I see that its public and accessible to everyone.
My workspace contains a few different teams with different workflows, metrics, and goals. Besides that, a lot of dialogues are closed because the ball is on the customer's side, and we don't need it to clog our workspace. So send the evaluation request because the dialogue is closed is a no-go. Because of this, the standard feature of Intercom asking the customer to evaluate the conversation is non-usable. What I would like to be able to do is the followingsend a request to evaluate the conversation based on the following parameters:1) Team to which conversation is related to (I want to evaluate only the work of the A,B,C teams and I don't want to confuse the user with the need to evaluate the work of team C since it is strictly operational)2) for how long has the conversation been in the CLOSED status (A lot of dialogues are closed only to take them out of the workspace, since the ball is on the customer's end) Maybe someone in this beautiful community has the same cha
We are trying a Custom Bot on a specific landing page, in tandem with an external widget that can connect to Intercom via app. When you interact with the widget, it opens Intercom and the Custom Bot appears - however, the bot currently also appears separately on the page, either over or behind the widget (depending on device). Is there a way to hide the bot from appearing automatically - so have it only appear through manually opening Intercom?
We use Mixpanel & Intercom, Intercom we can see only 3 users' data is updated with the Mobile information. While in Mixpanel we can see there are 68 users currently using the Mobile application. 3 version have been released for Mobile, according to mixpanel 21 users on latest version, Intercom only 3 users on latest version. Would like to know how and when the user data is updated in Intercom, is there any way to match the data for both Intercom & mixpanel?

One of my company's teams wants to work in our Intercom workspace but they need outbound email functionality that includes auto-follow ups for emails not seen and replied to. They are currently using Gmass for this. Does Intercom Outbound Messages, specifically emails, have an easy way to auto-follow up on messages not seen and replied to? I'd love to hear about your setup for anyone using Intercom Outbound Emails for this kind of scenario.

But when I close the app and open it again the carousel appears.Send more than once - Send once, first time the person matches the rules,Start sending - ImmediatelyStop sending - Never
I am using Intercom Messenger Widget in my app to communicate with users and respond to their questions. Currently the only way I have identified to respond to the users is from app.intercom.com - I was wondering if it's possible to configure the Messenger Widget in a way that makes it possible for Admins to use it to answer to Users' messages.
In case the pointer for the next step in the tour is on a page different than the pointer for the previous step, while previewing the tour does not move to the that different page and shows the pointer for the next step on the same page. Is this a limitation within intercom or does it have something to do with how the pointers are set up?
We would like to use the option of having our outbound email coming from the email we used to sign up. For instance firstname@company.com. When we do this though, messages that our customers are responding to from our support team are routed to their Gmail accounts instead of Intercom. This is causing some customer service and support issues, to say the least. Any suggestions out there?
I have an urgent question: I'm trying to use a button in our app to trigger a product tour. Does the engineer redirect to the "Use Your Tour Everywhere" link? does it open a new browser tab?Or is there another way to use a button to trigger tour?
The developer docs explain how to set up SSL for a Help Center using Cloudflare or AWS (CloudFront). However, we really wanted to use Google Cloud for this since the rest of our product (GQueues) is built on that platform. We couldn’t find any documentation on how to do this so I spent a few days diving deep and figuring this out. The process is rather involved, so I decided to write up all the steps in a blog post in case anyone else is setting up SSL for their Help Center and also wants to use Google Cloud. Here it is, with all the details explained:https://www.gqueues.com/blog/how-to-configure-ssl-for-your-intercom-help-center-custom-domain-with-google-cloud Hopefully this saves you some time! And if you get stuck on any step, feel free to reply – I’m happy to help troubleshoot 😀
On a specific environment we would like to use intercom for product tours, but we don't want that users on that environment have ability to use messenger. Reason for that is that on certain environment there is different support team that users should interact with if they encounter problems. So we are not in charge of support process in that environment but we would like to use product tours for our product there as well. What would you suggest in that case? Thanks
We have users on different plans (silver, gold, platinum, vip, etc)... and we want to show different options for each. Can't use URL rules as they are all using the same pages. I'm passing a "plan" user attribute" through the Intercom code snippet, but I'm not sure how to use it to show different content/options on the bot (or different bots?) based on the value of that attribute. Is it possible at all?
Use Case:Customer uses our messenger to go through custom bot, eventually entering their contact information into the messenger when their situation is not resolved. Is there a webhook on the customer finishing the conversation in messenger so that I can submit that information to my CRM through my Lambda?
In our use case we send specific tags to Intercom when an user tries out one of the key software features for the first time during the free trial - we then want to use this tag to trigger a certain follow-up message in context with the feature just used. Would it be better to use an event based message in this use case? Is there a difference in latency between tag vs. event used as the trigger mechanism/rule for the message? It's important that the message follows immediately on the action just taken by the user.
Is it possible to create a rule (or audience segment) based on a parameter and a timeframe for that parameter changing? (Almost like creating a new event)
I want customers to click a button in an Intercom Article and for the custom bot to launch. Currently, if I create a button within an Intercom article e.g. CLICK HERE TO REGISTER INTEREST, it forces me to enter a URL. When the article is live and in testing, when I click the button, the bot launches, but it also takes me to wherever the URL leads (or refreshes the page if using current page URL) and makes the Intercom Widget transparent and loses its formatting. Any ideas?
After user is logged out we clear the intercom session by calling `Intercom('shutdown')` we boot it up again using different settings for the logged out user. This seems to duplicate `intercom.intercom-state-{appid}` in the local storage, we're using `react-use-intercom` if that helps.
