So when a user reach out to us on the chatbot, the chatbot sends out the automatic messages “Give the team a way to reach out” and ask for the email. How can I disable this or configure this?
Trying to get started with the messenger but unable to get it to appear. Like the title says, using React and Next.What I have so far in my app:Intercom is loaded (`window.Intercom` is defined)"boot" and "update" are getting called in the correct spots with the (presumably) correct payloadsI'm getting successful responses back from `https://widget.intercom.io/widget/APP_ID`as well as `https://api-iam.intercom.io/messenger/web/ping`/li>In the DOM, there is a hidden iframe element with id `intercom-frame` and a div with id `intercom-lightweight-app`. The div only contains a style element, there is no contentCurious what could prevent the messenger button from appearing when everything I mentioned above appears to be working correctly
Wonder if we can support conversation attributes creation and update through API. At the same time, can we remove the limit of 250 options for conversation attributes?
Hi I’m looking for a way of adding many sites to the company data field. We currently deal with large companies that have many sites across many countries. Is there a way of putting this into the company data fields as it seems like this currently only likes one answer.For instance company “A” has a head office in London but has 20 other locations they operate out of each requiring there own support. So company fields will ideally have these attributes:name- Company Alocation (this needs to be able to take multiple locations) - Liverpool, London, Manchester etc only need one answer per ticket.Territory (this needs to be multiple different countries) UK, Ireland, Switzerland etc. Again this only needs one answer per ticket.If this cant be achieved what would be the best way around this?
Hi everyone! I’m running into an issue where my workflow is triggering multiple times for the same user, even though it should only trigger once per user interaction (More Info). It seems like some users are repeatedly entering the workflow, causing duplicate messages and a poor experience. Has anyone else faced this issue? What steps did you take to prevent duplicate workflow triggers, or is there a specific setting I should check? Any advice would be appreciated!
In a series, how can I send an email to a user's personal email?
Under Proactive Support you have all your messages and I can filter on content type. However, News item is the only content type I cannot seem to filter on.
Hey Everyone, So i’ve been having this issue where Intercom isn’t saving users chats if they log in on a different platform - The big issue being that with Kajabi, it’s really have to to get the “logged in user” data from Kajabi. they are very particular with the data they share. I did find a post here about some code to install in the Theme.Liquid file, and i’ve tried that but not sure i’ve it correctly. I’m wondering if anyone else has any experience solving this issue. I believe it’s just a matter of pointing intercom to where it can get the correct User ID or email from kajabi, but i’ve gone back and forth with Kajabi and they aren’t super helpful. Any tips or help would be GREATLY appreciated. Thank you!
Is it possible to change the text color in intercom articles? I can only see the option to change the font to bold, italics etc but nothing regarding text. I know there’s the call out option but that’s not exactly helpful for the article I’m trying to write. Even on this description text box I have the text color option but not for articles?
Hey everyone, We source users from 3 different apps and differentiate user_id. User IDs follow a letter sequence pattern like XVEOP. Recently we noticed that users in the different apps can have the same user_id, causing an issue with identify verification in Intercom. So we decided to implement a new user_id schema for Intercom where we prefix the user_id with the app region (e.g. us-XVEOP, au-WVMNX, etc). This achieves the result where we truly have unique user_ids in Intercom, however it’s resulted in duplicate users being created for every single user…I’m wondering if anyone has a strategy for the best way to handle deduplicating this while preserving as much of the data as possible. I did come across this community suggestion but I note it’s about 4 years old and I’m wondering if it’s still he best approach. Any ideas on where to start?
I want to add a view where where we I can see the conversations where we are waiting for customer to reply.
Is Live chat currently down?
May we know if Intercom is down and what is the expected downtime.
I would like to create a workflow for outbound emails which will assign emails to a team inbox automatically, based on the “from email”.. I’ve tried branches and rules, however there is nothing that allows me to do this. Any advise or tips on how the rest of you assign your outbound emails to teams automatically?
It looks like Intercom added microphone support recently (android.permission.RECORD_AUDIO) but it appears to be required not optional - this is reducing the number of devices we can install on - specifically some tablets that don’t have microphones. It seems like this should be optional by default? I think you need to add:<uses-feature android:name="android.hardware.microphone" android:required="false" />
Objective: Set up Fin AI to transition the conversation to a human agent, but only after the user completes a payment through Stripe.I've created a custom action for Stripe that connects to Fin, initiating a Stripe payment intent. The payment link is successfully generated and appears in the logs, but Fin doesn’t display the link to the user in the chat.Question: How can I configure Fin to send this Stripe payment link directly to the user within the chat? Then, check if the payment status is successful and if it is only then transition user to help desk agent?
I want to get the title and body sent via push notification/email which are sent to the users via series or individually. I tried using content_stat.push but the actual content is missing from there hence need assistance.
Hello,I am experiencing an issue with the Intercom integration on Android. When I receive a message, the method "Intercom.client().getUnreadConversationCount()" does not reflect the new messages. For this function to work correctly, I need to restart the Android application.Do you have any suggestions for resolving this issue?
We’re having issues related to collapsible sections in our help articles.Links to the heading of the collapsible section aren’t going to that heading H2 headings of collapsible sections aren’t appearing in the TOC at the right of the article.What can we do to fix these issues?
I would like to pop the product tour UI (outside messenger) when a user selects an element on my website. I can’t figure out how to do this. If I do a workflow triggered by website element it opens messenger and when I do a product tour, it launches when the page loads. I need something between that: The user selects a button and a pop-up with the video is displayed. How to do this?
We have our chats set up with a workflow, however for some reason the chats are closing after a while not giving us a chance to see if first to respond at a later time. We have to watch our closed tickets to find them and reopen them.Is there a way we should be setting this up to allow those chats to stay in an open state until we respond and close them on our end?Thanks in advance! Appreciate your assistance and insight on how to ensure they stay open.
A customer just wrote into our support team indicating that she was looking at an article that said it was last updated "about a week ago" or whatever language Intercom uses. Has anyone else gotten customer complaints about this? After discussing internally with our support team, I know there haven't been substantial updates made to that article in definitely more than a week. I understand this general time frame is a good bandaid and fail safe for me who doesn't have the opportunity to update something that frequently, but it does seem to be a bit over exaggerated to the point that I'm not even sure it's useful. Instead, could this feature be removed? Could it be updated to be more accurate? Could there be a date and timestamp put on it instead? I'm curious to see how others feel about this too! 😀
Hi, is anyone else having the problem where tags sometimes don’t appear in the conversation? The conversation events show that the tag is applied, the tag is active, and it ends up in the right views, but we can’t see the tag in the conversation itself. This means we can’t remove tags when needed, causing conversations to remain in specific views even though we want them out.So far, we’re manually tracking each conversation where a tag needs to be removed. I can’t wait for the day this issue is finally resolved, though I expect we’ll still have about ten days of work to undo the damage by then.We contacted Intercom's support department at the beginning of June(!), and they acknowledged the issue, promising to resolve it as soon as possible. I guess it's not a major issue for them, but it has a significant impact on us. We've followed up every few weeks, but we keep receiving the same response. I’d be very surprised if we were the only company facing this issue—are others out there expe
Just curious for those of you who have lots of running proactive support messages how you keep track of them all. I’m definitely underutilizing Views and should be using them better. Right now my I typically name my messages something like YYYY-MM-DD Some Description (REGION VERSION_NO).For example: “2024-10-18 Multi-display support announcement (🇺🇸 OCT24)”Is anyone else employing a similar strategy or have a better approach?
We've encountered an issue where some companies are appearing with 4x the expected records and certain users with up to 12x. After investigating, we discovered that our system was assigning different userIDs to the same email addresses and, in some cases, associating the same company name with multiple companyIDs. Additionally, we found instances where data was being overwritten, causing users' names to change mid-chat.I noticed there are options to either delete or archive companies, but I'm unsure which approach would be best in this situation. Has anyone experienced something similar or have recommendations and best practices for handling this kind of data duplication or conflict?
