Hi Guys,Please is there a workflow I can implement if there is a spike in interaction that I am notified?
Hi community, I'm trying to set up Fin to provide different responses to different audiences using audience-targeted Snippets, but Fin is completely ignoring them and not using them at all. What I've configured:• Created specific Audiences based on user attributes • Created Snippets with different content for each audience• Assigned the appropriate Audience to each Snippet using Audience Targeting• Verified that users match the correct Audience criteriaThe problem:Fin is NOT accessing the audience-specific Snippets at all - it completely ignores them and uses general content or other articles instead. Even when the Snippet is perfectly relevant to the question and targeted to the correct audience, Fin doesn't use it.Context:We're a fintech company with complex financial products. It's critical for us to have a SCALABLE solution that ensures Fin provides accurate, segment-specific information to the audiences we've pre-defined. Providing incorrect or generic information could lead to co
Hi,We have included Intercom for messaging on our single-page-application. The widget is visible before and after login, so users can contact us from every page.We boot the Intercom widget with the app_id parameter, before the user is authenticatedwindow.Intercom('boot', { app_id: APP_ID })After the user has logged in on our site, we update the session with window.Intercom(‘update’, { intercom_user_jwt: <jwt>, name: <user name>})If the user has not touched the Intercom widget before login, everything works fine. The conversation history is loaded, once the user opens Intercom.If the user opened the Intercom widget before login (or started a new conversation in ‘visitor’ state), the conversation history is NOT loaded after authentication. To see the conversation history, the entire page must be reloaded.Browser development tools show, that the request to load the conversations is done exactly once, after opening the Intercom widget for the first time, and is not repeated
a lot of inbound emails come in to my support mailboxes with multiply people on the email and I would like us to send out the CSAT email to all people in the conversation.
We often get phone calls (outside of intercom) from users who belong to a company but who are not currently a user in Intercom where it is not relevant to attach the issue to them, but instead we want to attach it to the company as a whole. Is there some way to do this beyond making a User version of every company for this purpose?
Hello Intercom Product Team,I am requesting the addition of a simple, native feature within the standard visual message composer (for Posts, Tours, and Surveys) that allows for a horizontal layout.The Problem:Currently, users are restricted to a vertical-only stacking of components (image/icon *above* text). This limitation significantly hinders the ability to create visually appealing, professional, and compact UI elements such as icon-based feature lists, modern notification styles, or simple image-text pairings.Horizontal layouts are standard in modern UI design for clarity and aesthetics.Relying on the complex Canvas Kit for a basic layout change is a high barrier for non-developer marketing and success teams.**Attached is a Figma design of a standard Pop up I would like to create on Intercom Having this ability would be a significant improvement for all users who want more control over their message design without resorting to custom code.Thank you for considering this enhancement
Earlier, under Fin AI Agent → Train → Content, there was a Custom Answers tab within Content Sources, where I had added several custom answers.I no longer see the Custom Answers option in this section.Could you please clarify: How can I access the custom answers that were previously added? Are these existing custom answers still being used to train the AI agent? What is the current process for adding new custom answers?
I'm developing react native app using intercom (@intercom/intercom-react-native v5.0.0). Currently I'm facing problem that's intercom doesn't update for new message coming. Only update when I open conversation from launcher or kill the app and open again. I already set up push notification for the app and can receive it when app in background. Please help me
Hi there, for some time we’ve had an issue when a user tries to upload (via the attachment button) or paste an image into the chat, it instantly shows a “Couldn’t send” error, as shown below. I’d appreciate any help in resolving this issue.
Is there a way to select multiple collections to have the same article. Instead of having to add the same article one by one to each collection?
I would love to have an option to involve in only for collecting conversation Attributes. Right now it is not possible and any workaround works. Even if I create a special tag/inbox for collecting attributes Fin must be involved which means even if it meet the escalation rule, it will reply that the conversation has been passed on. I would like Fin working in the background, collecting attributes from ALL conversations. Maybe managing the Fin’s steps (in Let Fin handle nod in workflows) would be a solution. I mean turning off using content, guidances and leaving just collecting attributes would do the trick.
Is there a way to mark a question as a test when checking if Fin AI agent is responding as expected after changing guidance? I have had members of my team ask various questions after uploading a “source of truth” to the knowledge base to ensure Fin is responding correctly. Some of these are marked as resolved and others are just sitting in our inbox as unassigned, and I don’t want to mark them as resolved if that is going to create a charge for a test rather than a true customer issue resolution.
Hi Intercom Support Team,From the past few days, I’ve noticed what seems to be a bug in Intercom. Previously everything was working fine, but now I consistently see the following issue:After successfully initializing Intercom in my app, the first call to showNewMessage(message) never pre-populates the message in the chat window. Even if I wait a few minutes after initialization, the first call does not fill in the content.Only on the second call to showNewMessage(message) does the message appear as expected.For example, in Chrome DevTools, if I run:Intercom('showNewMessage', 'pre-populated message comes here'); The first attempt fails, and the second attempt succeeds.This behavior is new — previously the first call worked correctly. Could you please help investigate this and let me know if it’s a known issue or if there is a fix planned?Thanks a lot for your support!Best regards,HBQ
Hi all,Have you ever configure FIN to offer a clear choice: "Ask Fin" vs. "Leave a message"? here is an fake image of my vision/needs Cheers!
I have admin(sender) and customer role, the admin can send message to customer from my app-web, my backend service is using the https://api.intercom.io/messages api to create a conversation, After creating a message/conversation, I want the message to be assigned to the admin only if the customer reply, since the admin who initiate the conversation. I tried adding create_conversation_without_contact_reply property, however It doesn’t work because it assign unnecessary conversations to admin(sender) since the customer may not reply. Could I create a workflow related with “When a customer sends their first message” trigger? or how could I solve this issue?
Hello,We have a react-native/expo app and are having issues opening any help center articles shared to users via the intercom messenger on our app. The same exact article works without any issues when sent to the same user but opened on Intercom messenger running on our web app instead.Any help would be much appreciated. Best regards,Tiago Cruz
My security team is worried about allowing customers to send us image files in messenger. Is this a valid concern? Is there a way to get malware through messenger? Is anyone here restricting your file uploads?This is my third company that I've been at that uses intercom, and I've never heard this concern expressed before. So while I don't want to dismiss it, the documentation feels pretty clear about how safe this is. Plus, I need customers to be able to send us screenshots. Thanks in advance.
Hey folks! I’m trying to report what share (or at least total counts) of Solved conversations were closed after 1 reply, 2 replies, and ≥3 replies for a given date range. What’s the exact Intercom chart setup to do this?What I’ve tried:Replies to close a conversation with Median/Average/Sum. Workable but without counts option, it is difficult to reach the actual percentage of solved conversations based on the number of replies used. Closed on first contact rate. I believe this measures “one teammate replied,” not “closed in 1 reply.” so, not really something to rely on.Could someone share any finding, insights or experience calculating this? Or suggest the best workaround.Thanks!
I'm syncing documentation from Notion to Intercom and I’m looking for a better way to handle internal and public articles.Current workflow: All documentation is written in Notion. I use Intercom’s native Notion sync, but it only creates internal articles. I then use Make.com to read those internal articles via Intercom APIs and create/update public articles with the same title and body. I'd like to also copy the tags from the internal articles, but I can't find a way to access them through the API. My questions: Is it possible to retrieve the tags assigned to internal articles via the API or any other method? Is there a better or more official way to convert internal articles into public ones while preserving metadata like tags? Any guidance or recommended approaches would be appreciated!
Does anyone have a solid work around to export reports, including all the charts, as they appear in Intercom? I'd like to share these with internal stakeholders who don't have access to Intercom.Currently, only function is to download the underline data or screenshot the report 😅 - where is I really just want to send the report to stakeholders.
Hello,I work on a platform and they are using intercom for their live support chat. I am using for several months and it worked perfectly. But now for over a week, it keeps loading here: I’ve talked with them via email and even they’re shocked. They don’t know what’s wrong, neither do I. I’ve cleared cache, relogged in, and changed browser, nothing worked. Can anybody please help me out in this regard? Thanks in advance!
Hi, I want to know how to write bold text as an user that messaging with the company?Tried to do markup syntax but nothing works, the only thing that seems to be working is <br> tag which breaks a line, is it possible at all to write bold text as an user?
Has anyone built/use anything that syncs Intercom Notes into Salesforce Chatter? I’m relatively new to this world and wondering if this is possible out of the box or needs custom work.
I am facing problems while trying to create an account on intercom, the error 403 forbidden appears, it shows that my workspace is suspended, but I have respected all the policies.
