SLA targets are being properly applied to our tickets, but when looking at the SLA timer in the view sorting, and when entering the ticket itself, some tickets are showing the wrong SLA timer.SLA is not showing properly in tickets unless you hover on the SLA metrics in the ticket details. Right now we’re unable to rely on our SLA targets. This is crucial for our support team to correctly prioritize the work.
Hi, I'm trying to show intercom surveys and track user events on my website, but the surveys don't show up if I add user_id in my intercomSettings via Javascript API, also I keep getting forbidden requests to track user events, can anyone help?

I’ve tried explaining this feature request to Intercom support multiple times, and they always seem super confused about it: I want to be able to link into Intercom Inbox in a way that opens a new compose window with an arbitrary email address filled into the recipient list. (Bonus points if we can also pass in subject line.) In other words, what we’ve been able to do for 30+ years with mailto: links, but opening Intercom to do it instead of a regular email client. After quite a few back-and-forths, it ended today with Intercom support telling me that “as a CRM” Intercom doesn’t have the functionality of an email client.Really?All email sent to our company’s support address ends up in Intercom Inbox, where we can read and respond to it, just like an email client. When we want to start a new email conversation with our customers, we go to Intercom Inbox and start the conversation there, manually filling in the To field, just like an email client. (Unless you’re on the mobile app, in whi
Noticed that the intercom cookies don’t have the Secure and HttpOnly attributes set. Is it possible to do so?Could this be a security issue for our website without t?

Hi, we have this workflow in place: The problem is, when the customer choose to create a ticket but later on realized that this is not what they need and ignore it or not fill it out, the customer will be stuck. The ticket window will not auto close and if they click the arrow back it will just route them back to the home screen of the messenger. There is no option to start a new conversation because we intentionally disable opening new conversation when there is one open. How can we get the conversation to auto close when customer doesn’t fill out the form? FYI, we have this settings in place but it doesn’t seem to work for this scenario. Appreciate suggestions from anyone.
Hi everyone,I’m Darshan Hiranandani, We have two support teams for different language groups, with separate email addresses for each:france-support@company.com for the French team germany-support@company.com for the German teamCurrently, we’re forwarding emails to Intercom’s default inbound address, which works for the German team’s inbox. However, I’d like to set up a system where:Emails to france-support@company.com go to the French Support Team inbox in Intercom. Emails to germany-support@company.com go to the German Support Team inbox in Intercom.Does anyone have suggestions or know if this is possible? Any help would be appreciated!Thanks in advance!Regards Darshan Hiranandani
Hello,I hope you're doing well.I’m currently trying to set up a customer satisfaction workflow to collect reviews across different platforms, but I’ve run into an issue.Since we typically close conversations once we provide an appropriate answer, I configured the workflow with “Conversation rating requested is false.”To avoid members receiving a “rate the conversation” prompt every time they send us a message, I added branches with conditions for “Last heard from more than/less than.” However, after making this adjustment, I’m no longer prompted to rate the conversation during testing. To test, I’ve set it up with a low threshold (1 day).I’ve attached the workflow for your reference. If you have any insights as to why it’s not working as expected, I would greatly appreciate your guidance.Thank you in advance for your help, and have a great day!
I am using the “Article search” app in my Messenger (on web) and I am not seeing the expected suggested article behaviour described as “Suggested articles will respect your article's targeting criteria”.I have the Intercom Messenger active on 2 domains, “a.example.com” and “b.example.com”. The articles relevant to each domain are organised into collections. I have created an audience for each domain, targeting “Leads, Users and Visitors” with a “Current Page URL” of “contains {domain}”. For example, for “a.example.com” I have an audience configured to “Current Page URL contains a.example.com”. Within each article, under “Fin”, I have selected “Audience” and then chosen the appropriate audience (either a.example.com or b.example.com).The expected result is that when I visit “a.example.com” and open the Intercom Messenger, the suggested articles will be the articles which are assigned to the “a.example.com” audience. Likewise, when I visit “b.example.com” and open the Intercom Messenger,
Hi guys,I wanted to know if in the UI there’s an option that is “Create By” or something similar in the workflows?For example: I’d like to do the following:Create a workflow for when a new ticket is being created - if that ticket is created by me, assign it to my colleague. If the ticket is created by my colleague, then assign it to me.Anything like that that i can use maybe? Thanks!
Can you make links open in same window within articles, instead of forcing them to open in a new tab? (they all get generated with target=”_blank)
At the moment if I add a link to my posts it opens in a new tab, which opens in a logged out state. This is a pretty poor experience for the customer. Is there a way for the link to open in the same window?
I am needing a way to have the conversation transcript to always send when a conversation has either closed or has been left after a certain period of time. Is there a way to currently do this?
Can Intercom workflows support sending automated messages in multiple languages? I’m looking to create workflows that dynamically send messages based on a user’s preferred language (Checkout). Is there a way to integrate language detection or user segmentation to achieve this? Additionally, are there any best practices or limitations I should be aware of when setting up multi-language support in workflows? Any guidance or examples would be greatly appreciated!

Hi everyone,I’m Darshan Hiranandani, need help with setting up multiple inbound email addresses in Intercom for different support teams. We have two teams, one for French-speaking clients and another for German-speaking clients, and each team has its own email address:france-support@company.com (for France) germany-support@company.com (for Germany)Currently, we forward emails sent to germany-support@company.com to Intercom's default inbound address, and everything works fine. The email creates a new chat in the German support team's inbox.However, we want the same setup for the French support team. Ideally, we want the following behavior:If a client in France sends an email to france-support@company.com, it creates a new chat in the French support team's inbox in Intercom. If a client in Germany sends an email to germany-support@company.com, it creates a new chat in the German support team's inbox in Intercom.I’m wondering if it’s possible to create separate inbound email addresses for

Hi Team,I’m Darshan Hiranandani, hope you're all doing well! We're currently facing a challenge with transferring larger-than-100MB files via Intercom, as its built-in file upload feature is limited to 100MB. For now, we’ve been using Google Drive as a workaround, but the process of manually creating and sharing folders with customers is inconvenient, and many customers struggle with accessing the Google Drive links.We also looked into SendSafely, but it seems overpriced for our needs, requiring a minimum of 15 users.I wanted to reach out and ask if anyone has found a better solution or workaround for transferring larger files securely with customers inside Intercom. Ideally, we need something that’s easy to use, secure, and cost-effective for our small team of 3.Any suggestions or tools that you are using to handle this? I’d really appreciate your input!Thanks in advance!RegardsDarshan Hiranandani
We've been analyzing our NPS reports where we ask our users a question from 0 to 10 about how much they would recommend our app to a colleague. Problem 1The intercom form only has a numerical answer, but when we export the exel data it comes up with the numerical value + this text ‘Not likely or Very likely’.-Could you solve this problem? (We're not supposed to have any additional information in the answer)Problem 2We also have a result of ‘0, 0, 0 ’ in exel which is also not visible in the intercom interface, only in exel reports.-In this case, does this answer count towards the NPS value or not?-Does this data affect the NPS count in the intercom interface?
Is this possible to change the text / design used in the outgoing email to customers when they open a ticket via email?I especially don’t like the wording used by the default system.
