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.

Hello, I am currently working on a project wherein we want to add a note whenever a customer starts a conversation. The note will contain a URL based off the conversation ID. So if a customer creates conversation 1234, we will leave a note example.com/whatever/1234.It does not appear that the workflow “add a note” action allows me to populate the note with the value {{conversation.id}}.Is this something that would be possible to add support for? The only workaround I can think of is to create a custom action which POSTs the conversation ID to some API endpoint which responds with the ID, store the ID as a custom attribute, and then use that custom attribute in the note. This is less than straightforward and seems more difficult than simply referencing the ID directly from the “add a note” action.Is this something that Intercom can support?

Hello!Is there a way to create a “subject line” for macros? Seems only the email body can be created so I wanted to see if anyone knew if that was possible. Thank you so much, appreciate the help. 

Is there a way to implement cookie consent on the Help Center? One way to do it would be to add a Google Tag Manager integration so that users could add their own cookie consent implementation. Rationale for cookie consent: The Help Centre already has an integration with Google Analytics (see https://www.intercom.com/help/en/articles/1346547-integrate-google-analytics-with-your-help-center. However, for many countries, cookie consent is required to use Google Analytics.The Help Centre can be part of the user journey for a business. As a result, it makes sense to be able to unify tracking/consent across all its domains/subdomains using Google Tag Manager.YouTube videos can be embedded in Help Centre articles, which sets its own cookies that can require consent. There may be other services that do this on the Help Centre.

We use round robin, which works well generally for us (doing live chat, ~2/3 min response times), but a pain point is that when team members go on 'away' & 'reassign' modes, reassigned conversations go into the generic team inbox rather than being assigned to an individual within the team. This means my team have to constantly keep an eye out for a little '1' on the team inbox number, which is frustrating and it's easy for things to get missed! Would love for them to just be assigned to a member of the team who is online, in the same round robin style and am not quite sure I understand why you'd want it to be assigned to the generic team... Or is there something I've missed?! Have spoken to the support team about this a couple of times over the last year and they've said there isn't a way to do it, so just wondering what others do!  Thanks! :)

I know the default survey uses emojis with hover-over text labels, but it seems like our customers might not be understanding the difference between each rating (see attached image). It’s starting to impact our metrics a bit.I’d really like to keep using Intercom’s native CSAT tool for reporting and widgets, but I’m wondering: Is there any way to customize the default emoji options (e.g., swap them out or show the text labels instead)? Or do we know if there’s already a product request or feature idea out there for that? Also related question, is it possible to tweak how CSAT is calculated in our instance? For example, could we have “OK” responses count as positive? A lot of our users are parents or older family members, and based on some past examples, “OK” seems to represent a satisfied response rather than a neutral or negative one.

When I checked the Japanese inquiries in Fin AI's Performance, I found that all the content is displayed in English even though customers wrote in Japanese. Can you change it to as it was written?Also, could you add a feature to filter and select only Japanese customers?When I search in Japanese in the content from Knowledge, the relevant items do not appear in the results. As my customers use only Japanese, I would really appreciate if you could solve this issue. Thank you.

I am currently setting up the Fin AI Agent. I have a question regarding the "Talk to a human" flow.When a user triggers the handoff to a human agent, how are the notifications handled for the assignee (or the team inbox)? Does the assignee receive an immediate email notification? Is it purely an in-app notification/browser push? I want to ensure that when the AI hands the conversation over, our support team is alerted immediately, even if they aren't staring at the Intercom dashboard.Thanks in advance!

Today we noticed an issue with Fin failing to respond to tickets. There have been no changes to the workflow but for whatever reason it just hasn’t responded to queries. We noticed the increase in FRT and drop in involvement but looking back we are almost certain this has happened before. It appears to be intermittent and no real obvious answer but curious if anyone else has experienced this and how you resolved. 

​@Nathan Sudds Are the office hours from yesterday recorded with the Q and A I can share with my coworker? TIA, Melissa Speed

Using the existing Intercom integration with Jira, I find it to be lacking in functionality.For example, a support agent reports on an issue and the agent raises a customer ticket or a tracker ticket. This action triggers an automation process that creates a bug in Jira.The important link between any support platform and Jira, is the AffectsVersion and fixVersion.I need the support agent to report in Intercom on the Affected Version, which should map to the Affects Version field in Jira.In return, once the development team assigns a fix version to the bug, I require the fixVersion field in Jira to map to a Fix Version field in the Customer or Tracker ticket.Such field doesn’t exist, so I have to create it… but I see no way to map the fixVersion Jira field to any field in Intercom tickets.Appreciate any insights on this matter - or how any of you communicate the Affects Version and Fix Version between your development work to support tickets? 

Hi Community, I’m successfully sending WhatsApp template through Series, but no conversation is being created in Outbound. Can you assist if I’m doing anything wrong?

We would need to add Content Security Policy to our application. I saw this article on Intercom Help. There it is stated to use 'unsafe-inline' but I am wondering is there a way not to use it, since we would like avoid that in our policy?

Hi, im trying to send a message when a client does not answer to a bot. I´m sending a few options in buttons when the conversation starts, and I would like for the bot to identify if the customer hasn´t responded in 30 minutes and send them a “Are you still there?” message, then wait other 30 minutes and close the conversation if there still hasn´t been answered. Is something like this possible? Fin tells me you can´t send automatic messages if the client hasn´t responded to a conversation with the bot.

We’re hoping to gain insight into how other customers are forecasting handle time, particularly when using Intercom data. We've noticed discrepancies in the handle time metrics reported by Intercom that don’t align with the structure of our operations.Typically, I export the raw data and filter out outliers manually. However, we continue to see a significant number of conversations with unusually long handle times that lack a clear explanation. This inconsistency makes it difficult to trust the accuracy of the reports.We’re looking for a better approach—either a clearer understanding of how Intercom calculates handle time behind the scenes, or alternative methods for forecasting handle time more reliably using Intercom data.Thank you in advance for any guidance or shared experiences!

We are new integrating Intercom with our systems. Right now having problems with location object... Where can i get some list of valid (countries, regions, cities) in order to map correcctly?

Issues:Once you add a content to a missing one and create either a snippet or article from it- you can never go back or see an audit trail of what you have actually done.    There is no list anywhere where you can see which content gaps you have actually optimized. We would like to store them somewhere which them might be helpful for configuting another area   Once you add the content and hit save, it opens the next suggestion instead of taking you back to the Optimize page, this is quite confusing and unrelated from what you were doing.    No export buttons anywhere   There is a table where they give percentages of conversations, but you can not click open any of these to see where they are stemming from- again, also no export option located.   ​​​​​​​
