I'm using a Squarespace site and have the code inserted on the Code Injector section of the main site settings so the messenger appears site-wide. We have a couple of internal (password protected) pages that we're using for reporting to our clients, but want to disable the messenger on those pages only. Is this possible? I looked at installing the Google Tag Manager, but am worried that this would interfere with other tags installed on the site (it's a microsite for a larger entity). Thanks!
I've created a bunch of code blocks in my help article with carefully formatted whitespace. When I save the article the whitespace is stripped. I'm talking specifically about whitespace to the left of content. This: " some-command"Becomes:some-command I had to quote the first example because the help center does the same snipping...When I edit the article the whitespace is back! How can I keep it in place for viewers of the article?
For our business it makes sense to rate how easily the customer found their information vs how the overall conversation went. We are not directly support, but are a tool to qualify leads. We've found poor sentiment scores solely based on if a lead can quality to use our product or not. It would be more helpful if we could edit the question/rating.
Hi everyone! Is it possible to show the Chat Welcome Message only for three seconds on mobile devices and then delete (hide/close/whatever) it from the screen? We have a problem that it closes main buttons on our website as it's only landing web page which doesn't have much info on it but there are main buttons which are hidden by the Chat Welcome Message, so users cannot click on these buttons unless they close this message. I know that it's possible to close this message but the conversion for these buttons decreases dramatically which seems to be frustrating. Is there any backend solution to this issue? Or is it possible to fix it inside intercom?
Hello, I am looking for the best solution to localize my custom botsI think I'll be able to filter custom bots depending on logged in users but I can not find where to localise the bot or even if localization exists.Otherwise, I think I'll duplicate it Thanks
We have Intercom at the heart of our business and would like to speak with someone who has experience in setting up the key elements we need for our business. We need access to an Intercom expert person who can set up what we need. We are happy to pay for this service as maybe an Intercom Freelancer frog example. Hoping someone can assist usThanks Wayne
My Japanese Messenger screen has Japanese in the boilerplate, but the Send a Message button and accompanying text is in English. Is browser language detection doing that?
Currently, the output is a text field that isn't consistent, instead it varies based on the content. So I can have results of 17m 2s; 16m; 11m 52s; etc. which don't allow easy conversion to numbers/time in any way. The ideal would be for them to be in 24 hour format, so for the above examples:00:17:02; 00:16:00; 00:11:52But even if we could just get to: 17m 02s; 16m 00s; 11m 52s would be an improvement :) This is a huge hassle to fix when trying to manipulate the data and in the end I'm stuck with manually updating and fixing them by eye (I am no Excel/GSheets macro expert).
We use hello@domain.com as a catch-all address. All emails are forwarded to our Intercom inbox. However, we just noticed that one email did not get forwarded to Intercom — we've tested with multiple addresses after this with zero issues. I've reached out to support but figured it would be good to crowdsource some experience as well.
Hi, Just wondering if anyone else has found a good way to pull stats on volume for just weekends only (aside from selecting day by day manually?) I'm wanting to look at the average number of chats coming in for Saturdays and Sundays months at the time to better understand staffing needs for weekends.
When making a Custom Bot from new conversations, if I use “Add bot message” and the user types nothing, according to our setup, “Auto-close abandoned Custom Bot conversations” is set to 3 minutes, the conversation in my inbox disappears. (Wanted) If I use the “Resolution Bot and follow up actions” and the user types nothing, the conversation stays in my inbox and never disappears. (Not Wanted)I would like to utilise Resolution Bot more, to help answer some questions, if they ask them.I have tried displaying half the page using Add Bot, and half using Resolution bot, still does not remove from inbox if user abandons the screen.
We are trying to send an email to any new users that sign up for our product. However, when we use the filter for "Signed Up Less Than 1 Day Ago", we get a list of users who had signed up a long time ago. Can someone explain how this particular attribute works?
Hi, I am curious lets say you have a "seat" who has access to all of intercom's products (E.g., marketing, support, and customer engagement). How would he or she switch between these in the hub?

Hi 👋 We're using the Intercom REST API 1.3 to track leads and their conversion to users. This integration has been in place for a few years. This week I've been extending this integration to add access to the articles, which was only introduced in API v2.1. My problem is that when I tried v2.1, I found that this API version doesn't have a way of converting leads to users. Is that at all possible with v2.1 or above? Ideally I'd like to keep our integration on 1 version if possible, likely the latest version, assuming API versions will eventually be dropped
Hi there,Can someone help me understand how to infer "Intercom('update') without getting throttled up to 20 times per 30 minutes"?Is intercom saying that Intercom('update') will start throttled:20 times per 30 minutes per user?20 times per 30 minutes per workspace?20 times per 30 minutes per same user?How to decide if its per user, per same user or per workspace basis?Article Link: https://developers.intercom.com/installing-intercom/docs/intercom-javascript method name: Intercom('update')Thanks in advance.
I must be missing something, but can you NOT search your Inbox by Conversation ID? Surely this functionality exists...
Hey all, I've just got our domain verified on Intercom and set up email forwarding from our support@, hello@ and billing@ email IDs. The emails are landing in the Inbox exactly as they're supposed to; however, I'm unable to figure out a way to reply to an incoming email with the same email ID i.e. if I get an email on support@, how do I reply using support@ — these emails are verified on the dashboard? Best,Sourabh
Hi everyone! I have been trying to figure out a way to design a custom bot based on keywords. Does anyone have advice on this from a customer support perspective not a "Create leads" perspective?? Any suggestions are really appreciated! For example, I'd like the bot to respond to when a customer asks for support, instead of instructing the bot to pop up after the user has been on site for an amount of time.
Someone erased my Macros but the IT person in my company states there are no activity logs showing my Macros were deleted. Can you tell me how is that posible please?
How can I put a table in the body of my article?
Is it possible to broadcast a message to all online users instead of messages one by one?
I am trying to add the Intercom messenger to my school on Teachable, however, I am unable to retrieve user information from the student and it seems that messages are seen by other users.
We are reducing our support coverage over the upcoming holiday. When customers email us, we want to send an auto-responder via email that tells them we are offline and will be back soon! I know we can set this up on the email provider side, but not sure how that integrates with Intercom or if there is a setting within Intercom. Thanks in advance!! 🙏
Attribution model of utm parameters. Hi, my company runs campaigns on several networks (Facebook, Google Ads and others) and uses the utm fields in Intercom for tracking and reporting purposes. We'd like to know how the attribution model works. Is the attribution model first click, last click, or something else? If I see a contact came from utm_source: Facebook, does it mean they registered after clicking on a Facebook ad? Or was the FB ad the first touchpoint and maybe they registered after clicking on a Google Search ad?Thanks a lot for your help!Best,Carlotta
