Is it possible have insert a “clickable” phone number into a messenger message, so a user on a mobile device can tap the message and call?E.g.When a query cannot be solved by a customer service agent via the chat, the customer service agent may say “Please call us” and insert the phone number into the message. The user, on their phone, would then tap the phone number.In HTML it would look like this: <a href="tel:6031112298"></a> The phone number above should be “clickable”Many thanks.
If a user has closed the Messenger pane, I don't want to show it when they receive a reply. I'd like it to show a notification bubble on the launcher and show the pane only when they click on it. I'm unable to find this option in any of the settings.
Is it possible to have a date range picker on the Outbound pages so that all statistics shown in the table below are for the specific periods ? Regularly, I want to check if my product tours recently had issues. The problem is that the data shown in the column “Issues” are from the creation of each product tour. So I have to click on each of them and then go to the issues tab to see if the issues is recent or not. It’s quite a waste of time as most of these issues have been fixed. It would be really cool just to have a simple ways to see for all my product tours which one had recent issues.Bonus: being able to “clear” these data in case the issues have been fixed
Hello! I would like to create a workflow to:1-Add tags to ticket directly in the ticket at “Details”: 2-And identify the ticket by content or subject, and automatically add it to a specific team inbox
I set up a tour and when it’s live, the entire site is greyed out and the user can’t click anything, including the tour. The Next button will react when clicked, but doesn't actually go to the next page of the tour.Something that may be relevant:We recently updated to install the messenger securely. (Maybe that wasn’t done properly?)Also, can you do a product tour and other messages if the Messenger button is not visible? Thank you
I’m having trouble embedding a JW Player video into an Intercom article. I’ve tried using the JW embed codes, the iframe source, the share URL, and the actual video URLs in JW and keep getting an error message telling me that what I’ve entered isn’t supported, even though in that same message it says that JW Player video URLs are supported. I also checked to make sure my videos aren’t private and I was able to open them in incognito so I don’t think that can be it. Is there any documentation showing what the JW URL should look like?
We have several customers that often refer back to historical ticket data and it would be massively beneficial if there was a way for them to continue to search for historical tickets. The reason for this is because the way many of our customers are structured are Tiered entities. Basically, users in the Parent Company have visibility into the Child Companies beneath them that have their own users. These Parent Company users need to have visibility into all tickets so that they are aware of the issues their Child Company Users are facing.
I often find myself writing part of an email, which I then don’t want to send anyway. When I then want to write another message, the old message, the receiver, and the subject is still there. Is there a way to “abandon” message creation that deletes the message I’ve written + subject + receiver?
Hi Team,I need your help in setting up our Intercom Phone workflow. When adding a step for Hold and Assign, no teammates appear, including my own name.

Hi I would like to hire an intercom specialist to help me fully maxamise my usage of Intercom. My business is an online therapy platform and I want to help walk my clients through some simple questions to get them to the right therapist.
what are all the best possible way apart from the native reporting of Intercom - I want to know how else I can get the reporting data for intercom tickets (not conversations) I have looked through their APIs but it only serves the tickets data not reporting data. Reporting data I mean, like finding the first response time, resolution time, etc., Any help would be appreciated.
I'm creating a workflow for our website widget for our sales team. Once I welcome a lead and visitor, I've asked to gather their contact info. I now want to add a branch that 1) goes to the sales team and the lead can chat live during office hours 2) if the team can't answer, or it's outside office hours, then they can choose a reply button with a topic and schedule a call. I'm stuck at the branch part. Can anyone assist? The options are endless and Im guessing I need to create a rule???
Hey friends, can you please help me determine which timestamp to consider for different call directions, namely inbound and outbound, within the same conversation? I couldn't find which timestamp to use as call_initiated_at for each call direction.I’ve attached a sample dataset where one tab contains ready-made metrics provided by Intercom, and the second tab includes conversation parts extracted from the conversation_part API object.Also, which two timestamps should be used to calculate call_duration, call_queue_time, and call_answer_time?
Hi, when we reply messages from Intercom, all the new lines were removed when it shows up in Messenger.Here is the message we sent: However, here is what it shows up in Messenger:You can see the new lines and numbers are removed. Anybody knows why?
We have renamed a core part of our application, and now have the arduous task of replacing every mention of the feature manually within our 180+ articles…. How do others manage this?I find native the Intercom article management tools lacking:Can’t duplicate articles Can’t create article templates Can’t insert recommended reading (related articles defined by me) Can’t have global blocks/sections that are the same across the articles they appear in etc…It’s becoming logistically nightmarish as we grow our knowledge base.Is there any third party tool that can improve the management? Or do I need to just consider building a custom knowledge base?Thank you!
When using the ‘Insert image’ option into the ‘welcome’ product tour step and then selecting an image locally into the step, no image shows, only paragraph blank space. I’m trying to upload images/giffs into the product tour so users can see the interaction I’m highlighting. Why is not working as it should be and can someone please advise me on a resolution? Thanks!
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?
React-native: 0.73.6 intercom-react-native: 7.2.1In the messenger we have images that are not displaying and when clicking on an article it will navigate to a blank modal. Any suggestions?missing images display question mark
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!
