Hi,We have been using Intercom for our customer support for several months now and we are exploring AI automation solutions. Initially, we built workflows to handle basic support tickets, but we quickly found this approach to be unsustainable, as it became burdensome to maintain and scale.We also tried Intercom Fin, which we found to be an improvement over workflows. However, it is quite expensive, occasionally provides incorrect answers, and struggles with more complex tickets. With Fin charging $1 per resolution and our support agents resolving tickets at about $0.66 each, we decided to explore alternative solutions.I was tasked with identifying a viable option, so I’ve reviewed nearly all the apps listed under the Automation category in the Intercom App Store.There are approximately 140 apps in the Automation category, and we focused on identifying those that can automatically respond to customer messages. From this list, we found over 20 apps that either offer or claim to offer thi

Our deflection rate was 10-15 points below our average yesterday. It’s not the end of the world, but we’re typically very consistent.Was this a fluke or were there system bugs with Fin?

To help with spam management, I’ve created a set of workflows designed to make the process easier. Workflow: Mark as Spam Automate Spam Tagging and OrganizationThis workflow triggers whenever you want to mark a conversation or contact as spam. It automatically applies a spam tag to both the conversation and the contact, then moves the conversation to a dedicated Spam inbox for better organization. You can also customize additional steps, such as closing the conversation immediately.Learn how to create a workflow here.  Setting Up the Spam InboxCreating the inbox for spam is straightforward:Navigate to the Team Inboxes section in settings. Create a new inbox and assign relevant agents to it.Detailed guide to team inboxes. Automatically Marking as SpamWhen incoming messages are received, I check if the person in the conversation is tagged with the spam label. If so, the “Mark as Spam” workflow is triggered.With this, you can, of course, add more detection rules, as we have done. Optional

Hi all, I’m new here and trying to improve the FIN AI resolution rate. However, I would like to understand why the extracted data is always shows 0% or not higher than 2% if FIN AI Resolution rate is filtered with "Team currently assigned" but shows 27% for FIN AI Resolution rate of the company We do have our CS team across countries using Intercom chat. As the extracted data, there are two resolution rates that we’re looking at1.) FIN AI resolution rate of company as a whole2.) FIN AI resolution rate with filtered “Team currently assigned” each countries’ CS team However, the data extracted are always different. For an example, latest company FIN AI resolution rate is 27% but if I filtered the FIN AI resolution rate with “Team currently assigned” and see data of CS team in each countries. The data always show as 0% and never higher than 2% Would anyone have an explanation about this please that why it is different? I’ve read about the definition in Intercom but still unsure if my thou

Hi everyone,Recently my customers required that the Conversation ID were added to the conversation title/subject.I manage my workspace with python, so i went to the API Documentation to see whats possible but it’ is not clear if is there a way to change the title of the conversation. Is there a way to do it via PUT?I noticed that i can do it via screen now, so i wonder it is possible via api too. We trade a lot of different conversations with the same customer, so them are starting to get a little confused at their default inbox (ex.: Outlook). They question theirselves: What ID this email is from?As i mentioned before, i manage all conversations with python via API, so i want to:> When new conversation arrives (i can get it via custom_atributtes)> > Get the id generated> > >  Update the conversation by adding this ID to the title/subjectMy tries with the documentation where not sucessfull. Can someone help me with this?Best Regards,Pedro.

Hey all. We use Shopify + Intercom. We currently already have Intercom integrated and working.We are looking to achieve a simple thing and seem to be getting nowhere. How/where in Shopify do we go to make it so that we can code a button to activate the Intercom messenger to open up?Most websites have buttons like “Chat Now” that would activate their chat widget.

I’ve created a workflow that have reply buttons and its working well on browser but not on mobile app.Same goes with simple automations Did I miss something? Is there some steps I have to do first?

I want to compare different versions of a workflow to see which one performs better in terms of engagement and conversions (Read More). Does Intercom offer built-in A/B testing for workflows, or is there a recommended workaround to test different variations effectively? Any insights would be appreciated!    

Hello fellow intercom warriors 👋, I’m posting a question here, as maybe someone in the group has worked around it and faced a similar issue. (I also escalated to Intercom support to see if they could help.)Our pre-fin scenario was a decision tree from the start with Reply buttons. We are moving to Fin.The scenario is simple: when a customer opens messenger, we greet them with a message, ask them to type their question, and let fin answer before escalating. This simple to the point set-up works fine for the web. As soon as I add Android or iOS to the Channel settings of this workflow:I get an error , "At least one reply button is required on first path for mobile apps." This means I unnecessarily have to introduce a button-press actions, such as a reply here, to facilitate the messenger widget on the mobile. Is there any workaround for this?  

I recently created a post (no reply - only ability to react) with emoji reactions. Emojis can be interpreted differently; for example, a thinking face might convey curiosity, interest but also concerns, or doubts.Two hands together in prayer could be interpreted as “pray” but also “please”.  Could we implement a small popup message when hovering over emojis to briefly describe what each reaction represents? This way, we’ll ensure that everyone is clear on what each emoji represents and in turn, the data collected (and the reports we obtained) will be more meaningful. Just an idea to see what the community thinks about this? 

We'd like to have NPS attributed to user/contact records in Hubspot, and I'm not seeing how it can be done. I am wondering if the NPS score is or can be attributed to an Intercom user so that we an maybe sync it to Hubspot with the Hubspot Data Sync plugin. Any thoughts, input or help here is much appreciated. 

We are facing a critical issue with email notifications sent to end users who contact the our support team via email channel. The automated outbound email notifications are not working properly, causing severe disruptions.Issue Details:In some cases, no notification is sent to users upon ticket submission. In other cases, there is a 24-hour delay in sending the "Ticket Submitted" notification. Occasionally, there is a 20-minute delay, and rarely do users receive real-time notifications. We are planning to roll out the Intercom ticket management system to our customers. However, due to this critical issue, we cannot proceed with the launch until it is fully resolved.We have already followed up with multiple Intercom support team members over the past 2-3 days, but responses have been delayed or absent. If this continues, we will have to reconsider our choice of ticket management tool.We need an urgent update on the root cause of this issue and the ETA for a permanent fix. This is breaki

I’ve looked at help articles and other questions like this, but can’t find a solution. Every image that I upload into a product tour post comes up with an error (see attached image).I tried reducing the file size to 281px minus the line height of my text (per this article) and that didn’t help either. Any solutions for this yet? Is anyone else out there experiencing or not experiencing this? Would love your help/feedback!

Hi team,I’m looking into the possibility on FIN collecting information when a customer starts a live chat, and sets the Conversational Attribute to a certain value (‘I want to make a manual booking’).When this attribute has been selected, I’m envisioning that FIN will collect information from the customer and then pass over the compiled list of answers to an agent in the form of a ticket/a conversation, but with little need for the customer to reach out back and forth with the agent. For example:Customer starts chat Customer selects ‘I want to make a manual booking’. FIN answers, but because of Step 2, he has specific instructions to ask for the answers to a list of pre-determined questions (such as, ‘What is the name of the supplier, what dates, what room type, etc...’  FIN then thanks the customer and says that this will be booked for them ASAP, and we will reach out if we need anything else.For step 3, I am struggling to find where we would set up this list of questions that we know

Im generating a nonce-value on my CSP Header using netlify, and while Im seeing in my CSP header that the nonce-value is set, when inspecting the HTML, intercoms script tag does not contain the nonce value. Can someone provide some insight into how to get intercom to initialize with the CSP Headers nonce value, or is that not possible?

We track reports for article views on a weekly basis on a different platform, and as of this morning, all article reports have changed. I have waited an entire day, and 0 response as to why this has happened. We need reporting to be accurate to build on published content. Has anybody experienced this? Is the reporting simply not accurate? Is there any feedback from the intercom team that can help get this sorted? Can we possibly get support please

I am wondering if it is possible to update either a Lead Data Attribute field (People Data Attribute) or Qualification Data field based on if the field is null starting from when a visitor sends a message.  For example, setting custom attribute “Chat ID” with value “ID” from the Conversation Attributes section when visitor sends their first message. Custom attribute “Chat ID” from Qualification Data“ID” from the Conversation AttributesOr as an alternative, if its possible to use a data field from Conversation Attributes in sync settings for Salesforce (currently I do not see any of those fields in the selection list in the settings).

Workflow → “If customer has been unresponsive”  Problem Statement:- When a conversation hasn’t been assigned yet to an agent and the Lead/User/Customer is still interacting within any of the path(s) within a Workflow, but they suddenly become unresponsive after X minutes/hours/days, there currently isn’t a way to make the attached Workflow (see screenshot attached) to close the conversation or nudge the Lead/User/Customer to continue through the Workflow’s path.- The Workflow attached works regardless of if the customer is interacting with a Bot/Operator or a human.Currently, a member of the Intercom Support team confirmed to me that there is no option in Intercom to differentiate between where a customer is in the workflow, so the attached Workflow automation will happen at any time a customer has become unresponsive in a conversation.Example:- User A opens your Intercom Messenger and clicks on “Send a message”- User A My Product Idea:- 1. The workflow in the screenshot I shared shoul

One of our main offices located in Norway recently tried to use the translate feature in AI compose only to find it wasn’t an available option despite being seemingly in every other component that uses languages. Could you add more languages to the AI compose feature?

Hi Intercom team,we at Center just doing our initial integration with your product and running into some problems with iOS SDK. In the documentation we found the following:“Surveys don't currently support real-time mobile events, meaning your app users won't receive the survey immediately after the event happens. The survey will only send when a user update is triggered: A user launches your app, A user closes your app and then opens it after a few moments, or By updating the user via our mobile SDK methods. ”So in our app we are trying to present Intercom survey at a specific point in time when a user performs a specific action. We did create and registered a specific event for this. According to the documentation above, a user update should force the survey to be presented. However, no matter what we tried, it did not work for us on iOS. It does work on Android though. Can you please clarify if this functionality is supported on iOS? Maybe there is an existing bug or a specific w

I want Intercom to auto-assign incoming tickets to the Client Success role from Salesforce Account Teams. Can this be done with a custom field or workflow automation?

Anyone have Intercom Messenger built into their app and willing to share their app name?I’m currently doing a case study, and putting together a presentation on the convenience and quality of life improvements for having Intercom Messenger natively in our apps.
