Dear Intercom Support Team,I hope this email finds you well.We currently use Intercom to manage our customer interactions, and I’m reaching out regarding a feature that could streamline our process. Specifically, we need to create a list of over 250 station names in the "Settings > Data > Conversations" section of Intercom for managing our tickets.Manually entering each station name is quite time-consuming. Is there a way to bulk upload or automatically generate this list directly within Intercom? If so, could you please provide guidance or documentation on how to implement this?This capability would significantly enhance our efficiency. Thank you in advance for your assistance, and please let me know if you require additional details to address this request.Looking forward to hearing from you.Best regards,Jorge from Equip Sport

I'm using the intercom api to create and respond conversations of type email, when I send messages as an admin using HTML, some styles are stripped out, as a result clients can't see the HTML formatted correctly when the email is opened, Do you know why this could be? I'm seeing that css styles are removed and even using inline styles would not work, does intercom support styles in the email conversations api at all?

Hello, I tried to use react-use-intercom in my nextjs project, everything works fine on desktop, safari but the chat hides on other browsers when using mobile devices. Please help me fix the issue. Thanks!

There are inactive customer workflows but apparently when you send a message (ie. asking for the customer to reply), these will only send in the messenger. Shouldn’t they also send via email if the customer hasn’t seen the update in the messenger after 3 minutes? I’m not understanding why that’s not happening as it should be the same as any other message sent by a teammate.

Hi, I am using vimeo to embed videos within my articles and am having issues with implementing domain level video restrictions. We need domain restriction on all our videos to prevent them from being accessed by users that aren't logged in.  When viewing articles on the standalone help pages, the embed solution works fine, but if a user views a video from within the messenger, they get an error saying the video can't be played because of privacy settings. Both the help pages and messenger are used on the same domain. Has anyone found a way to use domain restriction successfully?

I am currently handling one of my client's projects where I have to engage with the audience and customers of 3 different cities in the USA. It is more commonly about medical consultations, So I am looking for a platform where I can engage my client’s customers according to their location and plan their consultations according to customers’ location.Should I go for it or not? Will I be able to engage customers according to their locations? Is there any plan of Intercom that can sound beneficial for this specific business?

When a user starts a chat and wants the status of a certain operation, is it possible based on his user_id, retrieve the last 10 operations he made in form of buttons and ask him to select which one he mentions, and based on the decision, to give an automated reply based on the information in BO?

Hi Everyone,  My team and I are having a hard time adapting to Tickets but we want it to work as tracking our conversations that require engineering/technical assistance is quite difficult! Does anyone have any best practices or tips on how they are currently managing back office tickets when working with other teams?  Here’s an example: Our support team may get an issue that requires us to get assistance from our engineering team. Currently we create a back office ticket, fill out all the necessary fields that our engineering team needs and assigns the ticket to the engineering queue.  When the engineering team needs more information, they’d prefer not to keep the ticket in their queue so they send it back to support, essentially leaving us with double the amount of tickets till we get the information from our clients to send it back to the engineering queue.  Appreciate any insight! 

I configured IOS for intercom correctly with APNS Key but still i didn't receive any notification, if the agent send a message to my iphone

I'm being prevented from putting the email in the body of the intercom web message, every time I try to put it in, I get: POST 403 (Forbidden). Why is this happening? Can't I send the email? If the documentation says to put it in? import * as fromIntercom from '@intercom/messenger-js-sdk'; fromIntercom.Intercom({    app_id: this.appId,    name: profile.nickname,    userId: profile.sub    email: profile.email}); 

Hi guys,Someone already asked that question but got a generic answer so i will try again:I’d like to create a view that shows all the conversations/tickets that we’re currently waiting for the customer to answer on.So let’s say: If a customer haven’t responded to our last message for let’s say 3 days, show it to me in that view.I know how to create a view but the conditions/filters is what i need help with Thanks a bunch! :) Ro

Hello Intercom Support Team,I hope this message finds you well.We have successfully integrated the Intercom SDK into both our Android and iOS apps, and everything has been working properly for the most part. However, we've encountered some client issues specifically with the Android app regarding Mobile Carousels.Issue Details:We have set up Mobile Carousels as a series in the Intercom dashboard. These carousels are triggered from the server-side as expected. When a carousel pops up on the mobile app, it blocks the app's UI rendering and prevents API calls from executing, which impacts the overall user experience negatively.Environment Details:Platform: Android Intercom SDK Version: 15.9.1 Trigger Method: Server-sideImpact:This behavior creates delays and interruptions in the app’s functionality, leading to poor user experience for our clients.Expected Behavior:When the carousel is displayed, it should not block the app's UI rendering or API calls.Request for Assistance:Could you pleas

We are using helpdesk a little differently.Example: Team leader A has 4 team members - B, C, D, E.B raises a ticket for the whole team but then leaves before it is resolved, we would like to assign this ticket to another member, A. Is this possible?

Hi, I’m setting up an onboarding checklist for new users. Users will have to go through multiple pages within our app to complete the list. I did a test run but the checklist is not opening up on the sequential pages after the initial launch. How can I make sure that the checklist is opened each time the user goes to the next page? Or does the user have to manually open the list each time he moves to another page?

I’m currently setting up workflows in Intercom to automate some of my customer interactions, but I want to make sure everything is functioning properly before launching it to all users. Is there a way to test or preview the workflows to ensure the messages, triggers, and actions are working as expected? also( Check out ), are there any best practices for testing workflows before they go live to avoid issues with incorrect message delivery or user segmentation? Any advice or tips on how to effectively test workflows would be greatly appreciated!  

Hi, I am searching for a solution to disable the “download conversation” button on the messenger widget, but it looks like it is not quite possible.  

Don't pass by—give an Upvote if you want to ensure your clients' emails don't get lost in the spam folder!The built-in spam filter often flags legitimate emails as spam, making them easy to miss. This is unacceptable, especially since there's no option to disable it! Please add this feature as a matter of urgency.

We're looking for ways to cut down on the number of snoozed chats we have. I’d love to hear from anyone using Intercom who has found effective practices for reducing the frequency of snoozed chats!

Hi there! Would anyone happen to know what this refers to? 

Hey Team,Thanks in advance, I'm attempting to link a tag to the ticket generated through the create ticket API, utilizing the Attach Tag to Ticket API. However, whenever I make an attempt to attach the tag, I receive an error indicating that the tag isn't supported for this ticket type. I've tried attaching the tag across all three categories (Ticket Types: "Customer," "Back-office," "Tracker").Is there something I'm overlooking in my approach, or could there possibly be an issue with the Tag API itself? { "type": "error.list", "request_id": xxxxxxxxxxxxx, "errors": [ { "code": "unsupported", "message": "Tag not supported for this ticket type" } ]} 

Hi,  We have intercom messaging via our web app (react application with intercom/messenger-js-sdk). We’d like to log in our user so we can retain conversations with them, but we don’t want to track their location or page views, is there a way to stop collecting this information?  Thanks!
