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!
Is it possible to integrate intercom live chat with a React.js website?

Thank you for the help!
Hi all, when in light mode with the new Intercom UI, there doesn’t seem to be a clear differentiation for the description section of Customer Tickets -- is there any way this could be a bit more distinct?
Can workflows in Intercom handle conditional branching? I'm looking to create workflows that adapt based on user behavior or attributes. For example checkout, if a user clicks a specific link, they should receive one message, but if they don't, a follow-up should be sent instead. Does Intercom support this kind of dynamic flow? If yes, how can I set it up effectively? Any tips or best practices for conditional workflows would be appreciated!
I’m finding that the inconsistency in the notifications is making them unreliable. Apparently, even when the notifications setting is on, we receive notifications only when we’re not “active”. Since I have the Intercom tab open all day, I go in and check the income messages a few times a day but I would still like to receive a notification whenever a ticket has been assigned to me or whenever I am mentioned (hence my notifications setting) so that I don’t make “our customer” wait a while to be answered. Is there anyway I could receive notifications for all my mentions and assigned tickets regardless of my status (active or not)? Thank you

Hello, As soon as one of our customers creates a new ticket from a tablet or ipad, it does not follow the usual workflow and therefore arrives unassigned. How can we rectify this? Thanks
How does everyone set up their intercom inboxes and assignment rules when you have to support customers in different time zones? We are trying to assign tickets to our support folks from customers ONLY during the times we are 'contractually' obliged to For example, if a customer is located in APAC and opens a ticket during non-APAC hours, we want that ticket to 'stay' in the inbox and get assigned to anyone. However, we want the other inboxes to still auto-assign tickets to people who are 'active.' Is this possible? We don't have dedicated team members for each inbox, but the same team works on multiple inboxes.

Hi,I have two questions. 1. How can I disable Intercom on the mobile version of my website? 2. How can I enable Intercom to defer load only on my website - Prediko.io so that it doesn’t impact with Page perfomance loading timeTIA!
Hi team, I am a new developer, and I need your help.I have a website for users with domain app.xxx.com, and a support website with articles support.xxx.com. I am setting my page articles to private access, so if the user is not logged in, they will see the message "Unable to load this article, you may need to sign in first" with the button url.I am looking for a way that after clicking the button url, it redirects from page support.xxx.com/en/articles/yyy to our login page app.xxx.com, after login it redirects back to the page articles support.xxx.com/en/articles/yyy. i can do that if i add query return_to = support.xxx.com/en/articles/yyy. But each page will have a different url, is there a way i can get the current url address and set it to the button url?
Hello Team,Have you had reported issues where the Responsiveness report has incomplete data points?I posted this also in chat and still waiting feedback.We want to verify if this is an instance\setting issue we can tweak or is general for all Intercom users. I would like to ask if this
I just signed up for Intercom, and am having some issues.Within my own intercom dashboard, when I click the chat/messenger button to get help from Intercom itself, the chat window appears to try to open and then promptly disappears. Watch this screen capture. Not a good first impression if I can’t even get customer support from a customer support company. Ha. With my own site integration, when i visit it (even from a separate computer) I get the attached screenshotted window when i click the messenger button, as a visitor. Everything is setup as correctly as I can figure. Any idea why the full welcome / start a conversation options don’t exist? Website is www.lumatone.ioThanks.Matt
