Fin Product Area

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.

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! :)
