Fin Product Area

Hey Community,we have issues setting up Intercom AI so it solves different Topic automatically. Can you help us?For some reason FIN suddenly and randomly answers with wrong answers.We tried everything (with and without guidance,...) All the Content stayed the same and in the past FIN was super helpful. We are looking for an expert to help us automate different Topics in our Customer Support.Thank you in advance!

Hi everyone,My team is trying to refine our reporting, and we’re running into an issue where our "First Response Time" metrics are being skewed.We are trying to measure the speed of our agents picking up a chat specifically after Fin hands it off.However, we often have scenarios where Fin closes a chat without human interaction. Then, a few days later, we might manually check in on that user or follow up on the closed conversation. Currently, the reporting counts those intervening days as "wait time," which makes our response metrics look inaccurate (showing 2+ day response times for chats that were actually closed).Does anyone have a workaround or a specific filter setup that isolates "Active Fin Hand-offs" vs. "Manual Follow-ups on Closed Chats"? We want to see how fast we are responding to immediate needs, without the data being dragged down by our sporadic follow-ups.Thanks in advance!

It would be nice to have forum like capabilities. (Like zendesk.com/gather)

Hi Intercom Community,We have around 900–950 items under Knowledge → Content → Articles in our Intercom workspace. They’re essentially snippets. We need to export all of them with title + body/content (CSV or JSON is fine). What’s the best way to do this at scale?  Is the correct approach to use the Articles API (list all articles + retrieve each article to get the title and body fields)?  If yes, any tips for handling export of this volume (pagination/rate limits), or is there a supported bulk-export option? 

How to get conversation id in iOS SDK?

Could you share your KPIs and what works best for you when using AI support together with human support? I’ve read a lot of articles, but I’m still not sure what works best in practice. I’d love to hear what you’re using! 😍

We recently started using JWT for authn/AuthZ.There is a property that the SDK adds to requests to Intercom. It is called anonymous_session . It appears to keep the API calls to Intercom working beyond the JWT expiry. :Why does this keep authentication alive? Is there a way we can disable it to have more control over the amount of time the API is accessible.

I would like to setup for all of 2026 for FIN give advance notice when a holiday office closure is approaching and then set proper expectations for human responses during the holiday.I don’t want to create a separate workflow for each holiday. Appreciate any suggestions, thanks. 

I am triggering an article in the Messenger, using the showArticle method. The article is pulled up within the Messenger - but aticle-to-article links from that original article open in a new window (outside of my app).  How do I keep the new articles showing in the Messenger so that the user isn’t directed out of the app?For additional clarity I am not linking to outside content, only other articles in Intercom.

We have users worldwide and I have agents in India, UK and Canada.What are the best practices for working with voice channels from countries where we have no office?Example: We have no office in Mexico, it’s impossible to get a local number and have them call into the US or Canada line

Via Jira for Tickets, is it not possible to sync Intercom ticket status to Jira item status (Intercom → Jira)?I know you can do Jira → Intercom. I just assumed in the Intercom Workflow editor you’d be able to wire up the same going the other direction, but I’m only seeing 2 actions that can be performed in Jira? Create Issue and Create Comment? 

Hi team, We have an issue with Bluecore users as they are getting the popup opened every time, no matter they close it. This behavior was first reported on Sept 30th It seems to be affecting users that have “Tasks” on their help menu No matter they close it, it reopens everytime they navigate to another page in the site or open a click to a new page in the site. While this is not impacting functionality, it is becoming a frustrating customer experience.Can you please take a look?

Hi everyone,We’re using Fin with an escalation rule that hands the conversation off to a human when certain conditions are met.Right now, when escalation triggers, Fin sends the customer a fixed handoff message that repeats word-for-word across conversations. The phrasing doesn’t match our support tone of voice, and it feels robotic.Is there a way to control or customize the customer-facing text that Fin sends at the moment of escalation/handoff?  

Related to the Critical Vulnerabilities in Next.js and React (CVE-2025-55182), we have identified that our Help Center hosted by Intercom is affected. Please patch as stated in the article as soon as possible since this is an urgent matter!

I want to establish a consistent daily ritual where I review Fin AI performance and make meaningful updates (I currently make content updates based on Fin AI DSAT ratings).  I’ve already seen this post.What Intercom features do folks use in their daily maintenance of Fin? How much time do you spend on this daily? Looking for ideas!  I still do sprints outside of the daily routine to explore certain Intercom features, so this would be in addition to that.

Hello,I have a data connector whose purpose is to find a custom object by its id. And it can return NULL if it finds nothing.I would like to branch a workflow depending on whether or not the data connector was successfull in finding the custom object, and it’s not very clear how I can achieve that.I tried to use the “branch” step with a condition saying that one of the (mandatory) fields of the custom object is “any value” or “is unknown” but that didn’t work. The branch step is behaving like the custom object is always there, even when my endpoint returned NULL. I think the data connector is creating an instance of the custom object in all scenarios.What could be the proper way to do that?

Hi everyone,We’re currently using Tags as our main way of classifying conversations in Intercom (e.g. product area, issue type, billing, cancellations, etc.). It’s starting to feel a bit messy and hard to report on, so we’re considering moving to a small set of Conversation Attributes instead, and using Tags only for campaigns/one-offs and stuff like that.I’m looking for advice from teams who’ve actually done this: How did you decide which things should be Attributes vs Tags? Which Attributes do you find the most useful for reporting (e.g. issue type, product area, plan tier, outcome, churn reason)? Did you make any fields mandatory before closing a conversation? If so, how many before it became annoying for agents? How did you handle the transition period? Did you backfill old conversations or just start from a certain date? We’re also using Fin and I’d love any tips on that side: Are you using Fin to help set Attributes (directly or indirectly)? Do you let Fin apply Tags/inte

I'm looking for best practices, specific triggers, and action ideas to bring back users who haven’t interacted with our product in a while. checkout Should I focus on email campaigns, in-app messages, or a mix of both? Any examples of successful re-engagement workflows would be greatly appreciated!"

We are a SaaS environment where FIN supports two separate products that are able to be connected to one another.  We are working with audience content targeting and other documentation flows and guidance to ensure the proper resources and content are sourced for the correct inquiries.  We’ve also had issues where changes were implemented before we were able to ALL sourced content updated, and instruction was given that couldn’t be followed. Has anyone come up with a way to track conversations that specifically are giving information the customer is unable to follow?Current Idea going over this afternoon is to make an attribute, and have the key words and things often asked include “its not there” “i’m unable to do that” “that is missing for me” and other example statements we’ve seen in chat, and have that be a specific attribute used in an escalation guidance, and get those customers to reps to verify their environment. But would also then be able to get reporting on that guidance bei

If I enable Automatically close unresponsive conversations using rules, will it trigger a survey?

Hi, is there an option to export certain articles from our intercom article help center?kind regards

I have a real problem because on mobile devices, my app displays a bottom navigation/tab bar. As you can see in the picture attached, the standard mobile layout that you impose means that the messenger obscures the mobile menu:  Even if I adjust the bottom spacing to say, 60px, it has no effect on mobile devices.This is a real annoyance and I can't immediately think of a way to solve it. Surely other customers have experienced this issue before?

Hi! Based on the article about formatting articles, https://www.intercom.com/help/en/articles/4103903-formatting-and-exporting-your-articles-with-the-articles-api, there doesn’t seem to be a way to POST an article through the API that has callouts. For instance: Any ideas on how this might be possible? Thanks!Scot

To be able to still export the covnersation that has been merged with.Currently, there’s no button above once you merged the conversation.
