I would like to be able to see only “new” messages from clients like a filter “read” and “unread”. Is it possible ? Thank you!

My team and I are working on creating a workflow where users/leads can send us emails that convert to tickets and then once we mark those tickets as Resolved, any replies back from the customer on that email thread create a new ticket. Any thoughts on how to accomplish this?

I’m curious if anyone else who used the intercom as a phone system has experienced this issue, but in my case, when I call the phone number for my Intercom account, the sound on the phone before the call is picked up by the IVR or Workflow is very strange. It’s not a normal ring. I don't see anyone else reporting this issue, so I’m not sure if maybe it would be different after I port my toll-free number or not. Is anyone familiar with what I am referring to? Is there a fix for this? 

СontextWe run customer support in Slack via a dedicated shared channel per account, where both our team and the customer’s team participate. Requests can be posted by multiple people on the customer side (not just a single contact). Intercom creates a new Inbox conversation when someone posts in that Slack channel, and replies from Intercom are sent back to the same Slack thread.ProblemThe Intercom conversation does not display the Slack channel name, only the sender name. Because multiple customer stakeholders can post, we rely on the channel’s naming convention (e.g., #cust_acme_l2) to retain context (account, tier, escalation level). Without the channel name, triage, prioritization, and routing slow down.Solution requestDisplay the Slack channel name in the Intercom Inbox conversation (e.g., in the header or metadata), ideally with a link to open the original Slack thread.

There seems to be a bug specifically with Chrome in workflows. I cannot select a path (line arrow) and press delete. It won’t delete. This does work correctly in Firefox.

We are building a substantial knowledge base collection of articles in intercom.  However, many terms are repeated in the article, and when one searches for such a term, only 10 articles are displayed.  How do we get a list of all the articles, even if we need to scroll through several pages?

The Inbox list can be sorted (in ascending or descending order) by some colums but not others (e.g. Company, Ticket Type, Team). I was wondering whether there’s a reasoning behind such discrepancy. Additionally, I’m unable to change the position of the User column, which always sits at the left-most position on the list, despite being of little interest to us, while I can freely reorder any other column.

I need a way to categorize articles across the sections/categories that they’re in in the help centre. Article tags are only visible and usable in the Intercom back end, not by users accessing articles. To help explain what I mean, imagine that you have a help centre that has articles on cooking and food preparation. You might have help center collections like “Preparing ingredients”,  “Cooking with oil” or “Plate Presentation” and within those, you have some articles that are relevant for only meat-based food, for Kosher or Halal food, for vegetarian food, etc., and some that that are applicable to more than one category/all categories. How might you allow your users to search across the help centre for all articles related to vegetarian food, regardless of where in the help center the article is? I don’t think that there’s a built-in feature that will allow this in Intercom, but if anyone has achieved something similar with a work around, I’d love to hear it!

I want to use the REST API to update a contact's language_override, but it seems that it’s not working. Can I update a contact’s language_override using the API: PUT https://api.intercom.io/contacts/:contactId? 

Hi Intercom Community,We are a returning customer (we was using Intercom for many years until end of 2024 with US data hosting) and want to come back but with EU hosting to make it complaint. I’m hoping to get some help moving the process forward as we seem to be stuck.Our goal is simple: we want to pay for and activate the Intercom Advanced plan with EU data residency. Another words: 😅 To make it as easy as possible, here are all the details: Plan: We need 3 seats on the Advanced plan. Hosting: Data residency in the European Union is a mandatory requirement for us. Commitment: We are ready to pay immediately. We understand an annual commitment is required, and that's perfectly fine. We can even pay for 2 years upfront if it helps accelerate the activation. Context: We were long-time Intercom users who churned in late 2024. We've decided to come back and are fully aware of the product and its capabilities (including the limitations of the EU hosting add-ons). Urgency: We are f

Hi everyone,My team and I have been developing our first conversational workflow in Intercom. In this initial phase, we are focusing on a basic workflow to support our customers on digital channels, specifically WhatsApp, without using Fin or more advanced features yet.We designed this workflow with the first step being to request the customer's document ID (CPF here in Brazil). To validate the customer's CPF, we created a data connector that checks against our database using specific customer attributes. (Please refer to Image 2 showing the workflow setup for CPF validation.)We've encountered a couple of issues: Unexpected Messages: Some messages are being displayed to the customer that are not part of our defined workflow. (See Image 2 for an example of these unexpected messages.) Variable Display on Invalid CPF: When the customer's CPF is incorrect or does not exist in our database, the flow returns a message that incorrectly displays a variable to the customer instead of a pre-de

When I try to select the color picker, it doesn’t appear. It was working since a week or two ago. Also, sometimes the column doesn’t adjust properly after I delete one. In this example, it should adjust to be the whole page wide. 

My teammates reported an issue with a Fin response that stemmed from a Guidance prompt that was never enabled. I spent lots of time testing our active prompts before opening the prompt that isn’t enabled. That prompt is where Fin was pulling from; I had to delete the prompt entirely so Fin wouldn’t use it. How can I ensure that draft prompts are not being used in the background? 

When we get new customers, a user profile is created with their email address and phone number included. However, it does not identify the existing profile whenever they finally use the messenger. We have enabled the workflow to search by email address, but it’s creating a new lead profile for each conversation. How can we stop the creation of duplicate profiles going forward?How can we force merge the existing duplicate profiles so their conversation history isn’t lost?

We utilize Fin as the first line of defense in supporting our software. I’d like to explore having Fin handle chats related to known bugs/issues. Right now, a user will message saying “I’m experiencing XYZ issue” and Fin will go through the normal troubleshooting steps. Ultimately these chats often get routed to a human agent who then lets the user know we are aware of the issue and working on a resolution. Users are often annoyed that they had to go through the process of explaining the issue to Fin just to find out we knew there was an issue. Sometimes these issues only impact a small subject of our user base so we don’t want to widely exclaim that there is an issue. Thoughts/Questions:Best way to implement something like this - I’m curious if we can utilize the Content and Sources (beta) section under Guidance? Best way to track these conversations - we track these reports so we can reach back out to the user once the issue is resolved. Ideally, these conversations would be assigned

Hey Team! I am wondering if there is any way how I can do some auto-notification when SLA is breached? 

We have recently moved from a different ticketing system to Intercom.One of the features we miss the most of the old system is notifications on conversations that are ABOUT TO breach their SLA. This would serve as a reminder for any conversation that was in the queue and give us a chance to respond before it was officially out of compliance.As another submission posted, we bounce between applications all day long and it’s easy to miss a conversation on the verge of breaching SLA.

Our product uses NextJS 13.4.9 and we are trying to integrate intercom messenger. In our _app.js we are using the useEffect below to check if the user is logged in or not (guest). What’s happening is that when he is a guest everything works well. When he logs in and opens the launcher for the first time it shows the message “Something’s gone wrong”. After a refresh everything works. We have seen other related topics and they don’t work in our case. We have also used shutdown in login/logout and nothing works. Something worth mentioning is that after the login when the user clicks the launcher the Intercom’s localStorage is cleared and the intercom-session-[id] cookie as well. After a refresh all works well. Now we don’t know if this is the cause. import { Intercom, shutdown } from '@intercom/messenger-js-sdk'; useEffect(() => {  if (process.env.hasIntercomMessenger && process.env.intercomMessengerAppId) {    if (user?.customerServiceIntegratorId) {      // for logged in user

There is a bug in Intercom's contact field timestamp display. After a day, the timestamp field switches to a "relative" format (e.g., '3 days ago'). When attempting to view or extract the absolute date after this period, some fields revert to displaying the Unix Epoch—January 1, 1970—instead of the correct timestamp  

Are chat messages/Posts sent by email automatically or do you need to also create an email with that same information?

We use Fin AI to handle conversations. What we want to do is when Fin AI routes to a human, it gets put in the unassigned conversations bucket and we want to get notified when that happens. Is there anything specific we can use?I did notice intercom has desktop notifications, but that really depends on our user’s alert settings as well. We originally used a workflow to message a slack channel for all new conversations and replies. However I can’t find any webhooks that trigger when a conversation is moved into unsassigned. 

We’re using the Javascript API client to create a conversation programmatically when users sign up to our app.We’d like all messages of the conversation to each go through SMS. Is that possible, provided that the SMS channel is set up correctly in Intercom?I’m not seeing any way to specify a channel in the `intercom.conversations.create` method, or even in `intercom.messages.create`.Is this a dead end?Thanks!

Looking at the implementation of intercom for IOS, the creator seems to leave the API key in the front end. Does this mean that this API key is fine if exposed to the end user? I don’t seem to see another way to obscure it, as keeping the key on the backend doesn’t seem like an option if I want to use intercom’s package.import Intercomlet INTERCOM_APP_ID = "<#YOUR APP ID#>"let INTERCOM_API_KEY = "<#YOUR API KEY#>"class SceneDelegate: UIResponder, UIWindowSceneDelegate { 

Hi everyone,I wrote a step-by-step guide that shows how to import and sync Intercom data into Notion (companies, contacts, conversations) using a no-code workflow. It covers creating an Intercom token, API URLs to use, handling pagination, and setting up scheduled syncs so Notion stays up to date.Full guide: https://noteapiconnector.com/import-intercom-to-notion
