I’m exploring ways to apply a First Response Time SLA specifically for our Tier 2 team, and wanted to get your thoughts on the approach I’ve come up with. Would this logic work in Intercom? Apply the FRT SLA when the conversation is first assigned to Tier 1 (CS) using a workflow. When the conversation is escalated to Tier 2, apply a Time to Close SLA (e.g. 1 hour), treating that as a proxy for FRT — since Intercom doesn’t allow multiple FRTs per conversation. Create a second workflow triggered by “Teammate sends any message”, with an audience rule that checks if the conversation is assigned to Tier 2. This workflow would then: Override or stop the Time to Close SLA Log that the Tier 2 “first response” has been sent This setup would essentially let us measure Tier 2’s responsiveness separately — even though it’s not tracked natively in Intercom as a second FRT. Would this approach work as intended? Or is there a more reliable way to simulate separate SLA tracking for mult
Hello team!We are deep diving into each agent conversations at the moment. There are patterns and questions regarding found patterns as below 1.) Understand that once agent put their status in “Away mode”, agent will be unassigned to the conversationsMay I know where the conversations will be sorted into please. Is it the main Inbox of the agent’s team? I saw when this happens. The CS supervisor would need to reassign the conversations to other agents manually. Is there anyway that it could be set to reassign automatically instead? if so, would like to know how to set?2.) Snooze featureWhen the conversations has been snoozed using the snooze feature in Intercom. I would like to understand. Which option teammate should select in below picture to prioritize the snoozed conversations to be on top? Appreciate all of your guidances. Any best practices please kindly advise Thank you very much! :)Ploy
We have one website “a.com”. Whenever, a user click on specific text on a.com, it redirect to help.a.com where help center article are showing. Now our main domain is changed from a.com to b.c.d.net . So whenever user click on the same specific text in the new domain, it redirect to help.a.com but help center article are not showing. To my understanding, this issue occured due to session cookie not set because of changed in the domain, ie, b.c.d.netCan someone guide what should be the best and quickest way to resolve this issue?
I’m aware that we can create Jira tickets from Intercom. But can the other way around be done?I’m just testing this intergration for my company. So far I’ve manually linked a Jira ticket to a ticket on Intercom.But I’m looking for ways for a Jira ticket to create an Intercom ticket.
How can I make SMS, WhatsApp, and email channels appear in the Unassigned inbox?
Where can I upload a CSV glossary file?Thank you,MM
HiiI know Intercom providing support for React native, Android and IOS. So I want to know in which language SDK is written for all of 3.Can anyone help me?
We have reached the limit of 120 events.Would be great to increase this limit to 150 or 200 for example. Is that possible from Intercom team?
I know it could be done on Meta or other CRM platform. And u know the messages are way more attractive if media files added. Or is it just like a paid alternative function on intercom?If yes please let me know how much is it for that. Thank you!!!
Add “Conversation ID” as an attribute in macros, so it would be automatically filled with the relevant Converation’s ID when using the macro.
The last two weeks our help centre articles have increased in views by 500%...this is for our public articles that can be viewed by anyone. I have a feeling this is mostly from bots rather than real people. Does anyone have any solutions for how to block bots from being included in our article views and user metrics?
Hello,We are a small non-profit organization based in Canada with five employees. We have been exploring a client support solution for our multiple events.We have a few questions regarding your services and features. We are curious if your platform offers any discounts or special pricing for non-profit organizations based in Canada. Each of our events requires will need a dedicated Help Center to provide tailored support to our participants and attendees. Could you please confirm if it's possible to add multiple Help Centers under one account? Finally, Canada is a bilingual country, with both French and English being official languages. We will need the capability to publish articles and provide support in both languages. Can your platform accommodate this requirement?
When users have identified that the content served up by Fin or Copilot is outdated or incorrect, how can the user tag that information for review/update? Instead of using a third party form of sorts, I’d like it to just be attached to the conversation and get a link to edit the content that it was pulled from.
Greetings friends, Wanted to put this out to the crowd to see what creative solutions folks have come up with.We are seeing ticket loops / duplicate tickets getting created when a customers support / IT platform gets a response from our Intercom. Esentially the two platforms are locked in an auto response battle. We have enable the “Make sure autoresponder emails from customers go straight to your spam.” option for our email channel however, we are still seeing these happen. Question: What have others done to help with that? Workflows? Tags? Open to ideas and thanks in advance for the brain power
I’m almost done with a Product Tour, but want to go back into each step and adjust the size, or location of the message on the screen, but can’t seem to get back to the Settings options once the Done button is selected. I can see settings applied to the entire tour, but not to the individual steps? Is it too late to adjust these settings, and do I have to begin a new tour to fix it? I’ve even tried to add a new step, copy and paste the text into the new step but Settings can no longer be applied to each step once Save and Done are taken.
My team routinely snoozes tickets to follow up on in several days or the following week, and we know we can view those conversations anytime from the snoozed section of our inbox. However, is there a way to see when we snoozed a conversation until? If not, it’d be helpful to be able to hover over a message preview and see something like “Snoozed until 7/5 11:00 am,” for example. Or to click into a conversation and see that info on the side or under the ellipsis at the top.
Hey everyone!We’re currently exploring solutions for multi-lingual support within Intercom and I’d love to hear from anyone using third-party apps for Inbox translations.We’ve tried a few options from the Intercom App Store, but have run into issues with both translation quality and functionality. I’d really appreciate it if anyone could share their experience—good or bad—with third-party tools they’ve used to manage translations directly in the Inbox.We also beta tested Intercom’s native AI-powered auto-translation and found that the translation quality was quite good—better than some other options we’ve tried. However, the current feature setup makes it unusable for our needs. Right now, it applies translation settings workspace-wide, and what we really need is granular control at the agent or team level. We have multiple teams using the same workspace, and automatic translation would be disruptive for some of them.What I’m looking for:✅ Works with Intercom Inbox✅ High-quality transl
What are the best practices for 'Automatically closing abandoned workflow conversations'?
please create a feature so we can have multiple outgoing emails drafted at once. please!
Hi everyone, we’re experiencing glitches and slowing down of the intercom on our website. The chat bot won’t answer questions and freezes. The product tour sometimes glitches and shows two highlighted pieces of the tour at the same time. The tooltip glitching as well and shows two at the same time. The checklist’s "Tasks" doesn't allow me to "mark as completed". The support has been slow on responding to our messages and these issues are affecting our customers that we’re considering turning off the intercom. Any ideas?
Dear community. I'm opening this thread to have the following checked. I want to use the conversations ids as protocols ids, and I want to pass this id automatically whenever the end-user opens a new chat with my team. I have set a custom bot (from new conversations) and I tried to find the conversation id on the following list: But I wasn't able to find this option. Could someone give me a workaround for this? Whenever my end-user opens a new conversation, I need to pass this id automatically Your help is much appreciated. Thank you very much!Kind regards,Rodrigo.
Hello,I’m using the Data Events API to send WhatsApp messages to customers and I’m looking for a way to programmatically check that they have been successfully delivered (within a given interval of time). These messages are more like notifications, so I cannot rely on customers replying to them (in which case I’d have Conversations that I can query via the API), so I would like to be able to confirm that the message has been delivered through WhatsApp. Is this possible at all? Thanks in advance!
SLA’s in custom reports are very limiting. We support 2 types of technologies. To track which, we use Ticket Attributes. Product A or Product B. I want to run a report on how many tickets of Product A missed their SLA, simple.I can’t though, when I create the report and select ANY SLA related filter, all ticket attribute filters are gone. Due to the complexity of the products our support teams heavily rely on Ticket Attributes and our customers rely on us to respond in a timely fashion.How can this be resolved?
Hi! I would like to know if it's possible to add some keywords or hashtags within Help Center articles that they can be found more easily. I'd be happy to hear any other trick to increase the visibility and efficiency of articles in the way that they are found. Thanks in advance! J.
I am looking for documentation on how CDA attributes are created and updated as these attributes change, specifically how these are updated when the CDA originates from a 3rd party system (e.g. when customer data is updated in our CRM, how do I synchronize these changes in the Intercom CDA array?)
