Fin & Helpdesk Q&A
Recently active
I added a bunch of data from my database, but fin can’t answer a single question related to that.
We have had office hours set up for many years and always worked, which showed us away out of hours. Now its suddenly stopped working and it shows we are available 24/7. Can any advise what might have been changed and how I can fix this
We operate in 2 countries and 4 languages. Each “app” needs to be split into 5 different versions.We quickly reached the limit of 22 apps to be added to the Messenger Home in the settings > channels > messenger Any way to go above 22?
Curious to know if anyone is using something other than the native image/file uploader for customers inside of messenger ? Thanks for your insight!
Hello!The Product Tour is working as expected, but there's a noticeable delay—about 6 seconds—before it appears. Is there any way to make it load or display sooner? Thank you!
How can I manage the article suggestions that comes in the messenger when a user asks a question? Lately we have been having issues with the article suggestions and want to improve/change it
Hey everyone 👋I’m trying to send an email from Intercom that includes a button linking to our mobile app (e.g., www.domain.com/path)The problem is: when I add a button with our domain Intercom rewrites it so the app doesn’t open.I’ve looked into deferred deep linking and also considered Link Branding (Intercom), but I don’t think it solves the issue either — it still introduces a redirect, so the app likely won’t open?Has anyone managed to send an email that actually opens the mobile app directly when clicked? Any tips or workarounds?Thanks in advance 🙏
Hello everyone 👋I'm curious to learn what redaction tools you're using for masking PII (Personally Identifiable Information). At the moment, we're using Strac to redact all PII in real-time, but I'm interested to hear if anyone else uses different redaction tools integrated with Intercom.Would love to hear your experiences and any recommendations you might have!Thanks in advance! 😊
Hi All, I’m looking to go down the path of using Product Tours for the first time. Would love to see some examples of how others are using Product Tours and share any ideas/tips.Thanks,Jasmin
Our Intercom account, which we use for managing tickets and other tasks, has expired. This has made it difficult for us to create a video using the same account. Since this account is also linked to our developer account with the same email, we would like to explore possible solutions.Could you please let us know if there is an alternative option available or if we can downgrade our plan while still being able to create the video using the same account? Your guidance on this would be greatly appreciated. We would like to proceed with transferring the app ownership to the developer workspace. We’ve been waiting for your response over the past two weeks, and this transfer is important for us to move forward with our integration, which is currently pending.We’d really appreciate it if you could prioritize this request and initiate the transfer as soon as possible
We are a startup business using Intercom for Customer Support. We received approximately 4K-5K conversations monthly. One of our main challenges is how to easily track and understand the reason why users are reaching out to our Support team. I’ve read about conversation tagging, conversation topics, and conversation attributes, but it doesn’t seem to be a perfect solution, or maybe I just can’t completely comprehend how to adapt them to our business. Do I need to use all of them together? Do we need integration with another tool or software? The end goal is to be able to convey to our product team our user's sentiments. Can someone please lend a helping hand?
Is it possible to force the agents in our system to tag conversations before they close them? For example if an agent were to attempt to close the conversation without tagging it, it would send a message saying 'Please tag this message first!' and it would prevent them from closing the conversation
Hi, I want to move ~ 90 articles on our current helpdesk, which we have on Notion, to Intercom. What is the most pain free way for me to do this? I would of course prefer not to have to copy and paste each and every article…Looking forward to your answers!
I have 2 separate workspaces but I don't need 2 anymore - I want to merge them both together so I can have everything all together.
I am merging two intercom platforms into one. How do I ensure all of the data columns of an intercom csv export, is imported into the new Intercom? I exported the full data of a single user onto a CSV file. I IMPORTED the same CSV file after changing the email address as a test. Most of the data did not import, like "First Seen" etc. The 6 that the imported asked for worked fine (ID, email etc) It is critical that all of the data is imported. How? Thanks!
Our team typically sends emails to users (generally asking for more information on a specific account). Is there a way to set up a workflow that sends an automated followup if the user doesn’t reply within a specific time frame? When testing the workflows, I tried using these:When a customer becomes unresponsive - this requires the user to respond, which doesn’t always happen When a teammate sends any message - this doesn’t have the option to send an email, only a message or note
Hi everyone,I'm trying to set up a banner in Intercom that only shows for first-time visitors—specifically, those who haven't signed up or logged in yet. The goal is to show this banner to completely new users who are just landing on our site for the first time.I believe this is possible through Intercom's targeting logic, but I haven't been able to get it to display correctly. I’ve already created the banner and set some targeting rules, but it’s not showing up as expected.This is where I got stuck, I wanted to check here first in case anyone has done this successfully or has advice on setup?Has anyone managed to get this working? Would love any tips or steps to follow!Thanks!
How can conversation data, along with bulk attachments, be exported from the Help Desk?
We were able to setup Intercom using @intercom/intercom-react-native library on iOS and Android, but we’ve some questions for Android push notifications.We added the drawable icon and it’s being used but the icon used in the notification is different. Is there a way to change it? Do you know why Intercom’s notifications are not grouped with the notifications of my application?
We are experiencing an issue with manually booting the Intercom messenger in our React Single Page Application (SPA) using react-use-intercom.Goal: We need to initialize Intercom (using boot) only after a user successfully logs in, providing their userId and userHash (Identity Verification). The launcher should not appear on the login page.Problem: The Intercom messenger launcher fails to appear on the very first login after starting the application. However, if we then refresh the page, or log out and log back in during the same browser session, the launcher appears and works correctly.Implementation & Troubleshooting:We use <IntercomProvider appId="..." autoBoot={false}> wrapping our AuthProvider. Inside our AuthProvider, a useEffect hook triggered by the user state change calls Intercom('boot', { userId, name, userHash }). We've confirmed the boot function is called with the correct user data. We've confirmed window.Intercom exists before calling boot. We tried adding sign
I'm looking for a way to export conversations from Intercom. More specifically, I'd like to export emails, posts and chats and replies from customers as we are replacing Intercom. Does anyone know if that's possible somehow?
Hi everyone,I’d love to get a conversation-type thread going! Is anyone using Fin actions and tasks in practice already?If so, it would be cool to share some best practice examples and your experiences, especially with technical and security aspects of connecting Fin and customer data to APIs.
What best practices/workarounds are out there for enforcing ticket tagging in Intercom before close? I saw the topic on 'Topics' but we are highly ingrained in Conversation Tags and need to require them before a conversation can be closed. It appears in Inbox rules that conversation tags aren't an option, only person or company tags which is not helpful for this problem.
Looking to graph monthly numbers on:• Monthly count of articles used in emails and chats by humans• Same for AI
Hi - We want our users to be able to interact with Fin but not give certain domains the option to “Talk to a person”. Is it possible to configure this? We are open to turning this off for all customers for now, if we can’t turn it off for specific customers
