Hi there! I have created a product tour and I’m struggling as it won’t get any impressions from external users. I created a product tour with a similar configuration as many other times before (in which I had no issues). The triggers used are:When to send: (empty) Where to send: contains “keyword”. Using one keyword included in the URL of interest. Audienc: UsersAfter this I get an estimated 85k users that can see the product tour. However, after 2 weeks I got only 11 views from just internal emails in the company. So I’m not entirely sure on what’s going on. I have deactivated all other tours in case there could be any conflicts. And using this same sonfiguration before I got thousands of views in just hours. Can you please help me with this? I’d supper appreciate the help 🙏

I want to send email with attachment to customer. Conversation should be created, when email is sent.I am using REST Api Message endpoint with flag create_conversation_without_contact_reply: true.Everything works fine except I can’t add an attachment.Is there any way how to add an attachment to message?
I can see the timestamps of when messages are sent, but users cannot. This would be useful to demonstrate first response times to users, and have a way to record the timings of the messages.
We need to create a flow that after a while if my teammate does not respond it is escalated to another person or team, I don't know if it is possible to do it through rules

hello good morning how i can ask question
Hey! I am trying to set up Fin for our WhatsApp channel but am running into an issue:Within the Messenger it is pretty straight forward to initiate Fin to respond and then allow a human handover because every conversation/topic/question is in a different thread. However in WhatsApp you only have one thread. If a user therefore asks a question, Fin responds and hands the conversation to a human and the user then has a new question, Fin is not automatically triggered to answer. How can I work around this? Is there possibly a way to treat messages that are sent after one day of inactivity as first-messages? Thanks for the help!
How do you all manage workflows? I often find it a bit confusing within the product—does anyone have recommendations for tools that offer better visualization?

Hi! I'm currently in the process of setting up Fin for email. As we'd like to offer personalized (Human) Customer Support to our Users, I want to set up Fin for email for Leads. However, 56% of our emails sent by Leads are spam/marketing messages, and I don't want to be charged for all these emails.In related topics (How to avoid Fin trying to offer solutions to marketing emails and other spam?) I see that other users tag these emails and exclude them from Fin's audience. However, I'm not sure how to identify these emails as such so I can set up my workflows and give them a tag. Does anyone have some advice? 🙏 Thanks in advance!
When setting up a custom workflow the main aspects I tend to focus on are the completion rate and looking into which paths most users are going to see possible areas where additional proactive support can be offered. My question to you is what aspects do you and your team focus on and what goals are you setting for your workflows? I would love to know the different strategies everyone is using!

Hello everyone! Is it possible for an outbound message be sent and assigned to a team inbox, allowing them to be notified when it’s triggered?We have developed a custom event for when a customer (traveler in our case) attempts to submit their booking but encounters a failure that prevents submission. Once this occurs, an outbound message is sent to them stating that we noticed the failure and that one of our agents will reach out immediately for assistance.I noticed that if this message is sent, our inbox is not triggered until the customer replies to the outbound message. We want to notify out agents immediately to help customers proactively.

3 months ago Intercom communicated about a feature to merge conversations in case of doubles.It was mentioned it’s on their roadmap, but no timeline was communicated.Do we already have a view on when this would get implemented?Thanks!
I'm playing around with the new Survey feature - which is very cool to have in Intercom, but I'm missing the option to spread sending the surveys over time to a big group of people. For example, if I have 10,000 users who login each month, I don't want to send it to 10,000 right away. I want to send the survey to 2,500 random people each month for the next 4 months. Ideas?
We have many articles that are not part of any collection. We do that to keep the help center light weight, but we do need these articles to show up in search.The problem is that these articles when accessed using the URL, do not show up with header or footer.How can we fix it?
