Fin Product Area

I’ve been testing Fin and I haven’t been satisfied with the responses just yet to turn it on for all users. I understand it’s based on our articles and related knowledge base, but I’ve found Fin to provide wrong or sometimes unhelpful information. Here are some examples:It frequently tells users to contact support to fix the issue (Isn’t this what people think they’re doing?) It get company branding incorrect. For example I work for a company called “G.J. Gardner” and Fin often defaults to “GJ Gardner”, missing the periods in the name.  Users often don’t provide enough info such as the record name in the software they want us to troubleshoot (i.e. a customer name or project number). How can I train Fin to inquire about this information? Fin defaults to US English. While this isn’t always bad, we have some industry specific terms that differ between contries (i.e “variation” in Australia and “change order” in the United States). How can I train Fin to use the correct terminology when re

Problem Statement:We are managing multiple email series and banners and would like to streamline the process of reviewing their performance. Currently, reviewing each email series individually via the "Series Performance" stats is time-consuming and lacks a consolidated view of overall performance. This makes it difficult to monitor and report on metrics effectively across multiple series, especially since we want to scale this to monitor across different tags (products, partner affiliates, etc). Supporting Information:The goal is to have a solution where specific email series/banners statistics can be aggregated into a report or at least extracted for further analysis. Ideally, this report would allow us to review performance by series status, content, or other relevant criteria, helping to monitor both individual and overall series performance. As far as I can tell, this functionality cannot be set up as a Custom Report within InterCom.The Ask:Would it be possible to create a data ex

We would need to add Content Security Policy to our application. I saw this article on Intercom Help. There it is stated to use 'unsafe-inline' but I am wondering is there a way not to use it, since we would like avoid that in our policy?

Hello, I would like to be able to easily add tickets to a ‘watchlist’ so that I can follow up on the status easily. I know you can tag yourself but this is not sufficient as the tag woud stay there forever and I might drop out of following that ticket at some point. Does this kind of feature exist or is there any other solution ?I would be very handy for new team members , also for team leads to follow along some cases etc.  Thanks,Julia

I have a CSV list of 5000+ frequently asked sales tax questions and their corresponding answers. I would like intercom to ingest these questions surface the answer to customers. I would also like to be able to update these questions quickly over time as the answer changes. What is the easiest to ingest these into intercom? Should I use something like Confluence instead of CSV? Any advice? 

Hi! Regarding metrics in custom reports, we’d like to have the SLA hit rate based on the percentage of conversations where the team met the SLA, as shown in the SLA report.Ensuring timely responses to our community is paramount. Measuring the SLA hit rate based on the percentage of SLAs applied to conversations that hit their target (current available metric) can be misleading. For example, if a ticket has four SLA targets, and we hit three out of four, the SLA hit rate would show 75%. However, if we breached the first response SLA, we failed to meet our promise of timely communication to the member, making the true SLA hit rate for that ticket 0%.From our perspective, breaching even one SLA in a conversation means we didn't fully deliver on our commitment.

Hi everyone,I”m Darshan Hiranandani, We’re a startup using Intercom for customer support, and we handle about 4K-5K conversations per month. One of our main challenges is effectively tracking and understanding the reasons behind users reaching out to our support team.I’ve looked into conversation tagging, topics, and attributes, but they don’t seem to fully solve the problem, or perhaps I’m just not sure how to best apply them to our business. Should we be using all of these tools together, or is there a better approach? Would integrating another tool or system help us better categorize and analyze these conversations?Ultimately, our goal is to capture user sentiment and clearly communicate this data to our product team to help drive improvements.Has anyone faced something similar or have suggestions on how to approach this? Any advice on how to better track the reasons for support inquiries would be greatly appreciated!Thanks in advance!RegardsDarshan Hiranandani

It is currently not an option to start a with any other steps then writing a message. I wish to use the apply rules button first that then would branch in to diffrent options for buttons depending on the rules.This would streamline the hole process of using the chat.Is there someway to bypass this function in any way or is it a function that can be made? See the pictures attached: 

Sometimes they go dormant and I need to chase, but I'm having to bookmark them in my browser, or put them in a Google Sheet to track them which seems sub-optimal ;)

When creating public articles, you have four components that can help get them discovered:Title Description Body CollectionAI Agent will ingest this content and attempt to provide a best-fit answer based on its knowledge.However, if you want multiple queries to lead to the same article, it seems there isn’t a direct way to accomplish it other than including wording throughout the title, description, and body such that alternative queries may pick up on that language. ExampleSuppose we have an article:Title: How do I add a payment method? Description: Learn how to associate a card with your account.That’s straightforward enough and satisfies a couple ways that queries might go (“add a payment method,” “associate a card with your account”).But, what if I want these other queries to lead to the same article:How can I pay? Where do I go to make sure you can charge me? I received a notice for non-payment. What do I need to do? I’m seeing an error for collecting an invoice balance. How do I

Hello! I’m wanting to know if there is a way to be able to measure and analyze the unique emails or names or users that are being routed to one of the workspaces myself and my team use. Is there a way to see which users are reaching out to us most frequently and about what to better be able to address why the volume is higher for those users?

Hi everyone,Our CS team is accustomed to receiving personalized Slack notifications for events like client replies, internal notes, etc., as supported by our previous platform provider. However, it appears that Intercom offers limited options for triggering built-in notifications, and the Slack integration only allows updates to be posted in channels, rather than directly to individual CS agents based on conversation assignments. I’d love to hear how others are addressing this. Are there any effective workarounds you’ve implemented within Intercom using automation, or perhaps an app that helps manage team member notifications? For us, personalized notifications are crucial due to high incoming volumes, as they act as timely reminders for agents to check specific client conversations that are currently in progress. Any insights or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Hi, I’m using Voiceflow to create a chatbot, and I’d like to send user messages from Voiceflow to Intercom so I can track and manage conversations in Intercom’s Inbox. Is this possible? If so, what’s the best approach to set it up?

How do I integrate Intercom with HubSpot CRM to streamline customer data syncing and improve workflow automation? I'm looking for guidance on setting up the integration, syncing contact details (Read More), and using automated tasks to enhance marketing and support efforts.

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? Is there any requirement to use event tracking such as secure mode enabled or added something on intercomSettings?

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

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
