Hi thereWe have chats set to auto-close after 15 minutes of the visitor being unresponsive. However, visitors will often chat back in and when they do the chat gets put in the Unassigned queue. This leads to some issues because we have members of other teams accidentally grabbing that chat thinking it is for them. We want to ensure that if the visitor chats back in that it gets re-assigned to the same team it was previously assigned to.  Can anyone help with this?

I’m having a problem where intercom will automatically assign tickets to a team but not assign them to anyone within the team. This results in the team missing tickets because they aren’t assigned to anyone. I’m wondering if anyone else has encountered a problem like this and if so, how they fixed it. Right now I’m trying to solve this issue by setting an arbitrarily high workspace ticket limit, setting the team ticket type to balanced, and then setting to 0 the ticket limit for team members that should only receive ticket assignments manually. If anyone has any ideas for what to do here, I’d appreciate the help

When I select to ‘Edit Latest’ on a published article, the page opens to a blank page with just the title of the article available. The published article is visible, and unpublishing then attempting to edit still gives a blank page. Anyone run into this and have a solve? TIA

Hi is it possible to create a macro to resolve a ticket and leave a message. I can do the leave a message part but i cant seem to find an option to set a ticket to resolved.I have an automation that closes a ticket when it has been resolved so the close option is no good. It has to be resolved as this ends the sla too.

I want to set an event on my site. So when the customer click on it, there will be an automated message sent from the customer to our chat box and we will collect their data  as lead from then. I tried setting the series with rules but it seems that those are my actions, not the lead (customer). Is there any workaround?

I can’t seem to figure this out. I can create view to see tickets or conversations that are not currently snoozed or closed.However, we are trying to create baseline reporting and would like to report on the number of non-closed tickets or conversations ie the snoozing doesn’t matter for this particular report. The views don’t give me that and I can’t work out the appropriate metric on the reports. Any ideas?

Is it possible to set hotkeys for the likes of resolving or closing a ticket?

What tools or apps are you using to analyze Intercom ticket data?I'm used to ZenDesk reporting and am finding reporting in Intercom really lacking or else I just don't know how to use it.For example, I'd love to get a report on tags. In Zendesk, I could select multiple tags and then select a date range and various ways of displaying data - bar, line, etc.I was also able to set up tags with a prefix like Login: and then have sub tags like Login: email typo, Login: password reset loop, etc. I could make a report that could show all Login issues by only selecting the top tag so I could compare against other top-level issue like Refunds, Acct Management, etc.Or I could make a report where I could select all the Login tags and see a report about the frequency of each one, all one report.In Intercom, the tag reporting doesn't allow this. You can only view a report on one tag at a time. If you choose multiple tags, the only option is AND, not OR.Thanks for any help!

Hi Team,I am Darshan Hiranandani, have two different tickets that address essentially the same issue, and I would like to merge them into one. I’m wondering if the feature to merge tickets has been developed or if it’s planned for future updates.If anyone has insights or updates on this, I’d appreciate your suggestions or ideas on how to handle this situation in the meantime.Thank you!Best,Darshan Hiranandani

Hey there,It appears that for, Google Ads only where we have auto-tagging, our utm_source/campaing & medium are not being filled resulting in null values being very high for conversion source. My theory is that this is because it is hashed into the GCLID.How can we ensure that the correct source and campaigns are being sent to Intercom? Thanks!Sam

Once a back office ticket is created for a customer, does it then become associated with the users account/details page? Or is the only way to see the back office ticket that was created in intercom, within the original conversation is was created within?  

Hi,I’ve configured a data export to S3 and the historical export has failed but hourly exports are running OK. I've not received any email with a log or something similar showing the error and causes. Why has the export failed? Where can I see the logs in order to know why has failed?

Hi, I understand that start button will send me to the beginning of the workflow. We implemented one WF with multiple reusables, to keep our WF tidy. However when we have a start button in the reusable, it sends the user to the very beginning. This is unfortunate, especially when we have it personalised with message Hi <first name>, so it looks a bit strange that although we already engaged in some conversation we are saying Hi again… is there a way how to set up the “start”? Is there also a way how to start only the reusable and not the entire WF? Thank you.

Hi there, is there any other way to add different labels on the Away tab?  

I have a data attribute (csm_email) coming in from Salesforce to Company Data. That data needs to appear in the User (People) data also for NPS survey reasons. Is there a way to get a Company Detail attribute to sync to a People Data attribute field? I tried using Qualification Data for this but I think that can only happen if the Agent manually edits Qualification Data and I want this to be automatic. Thank you.

As the title says, I’m having issues trying to figure this one out. I wanted to prompt any visitors on my website for the first time and let Intercom pop out the survey questions whenever they do so. I was able to make a survey and even “preview” it on my website but when I set it to live, test it out on an incognito browser or an entirely new browser, it doesn’t come up. I’m not sure if it has something to do with my current audience setting but I really need help on this one. Kindly see the attached screenshots on what I currently have. Thank you!  

Hello,This is a question I’ve had for quite some time, but is there anything that can be done to create custom data objects (not attributes) in Intercom that go beyond Contacts and Companies? In our case we’ve been sending the data to People and Companies for quite some time, but the data structure has always been an issue, as we needed to attribute the data to either a person or a company, which means that we cannot cover all customer data as in our business customers can have, for example, multiple licenses with multiple users within the same team 😁 In the perfect world, it would be great to have a flexible CRM-like data structure, where I can just go ahead and create a custom data object that I can attribute to a user. I know that we can use Custom objects withs Custom actions, but I’d much rather like to have the data at hand that I could use for outbound message targeting.  What are your best practices to overcome this challenge?  

Hello! My team closes a conversation after they reply, even if we may hear back from the customer. This sets up a workflow so that in 30 minutes the CSAT survey goes out. If the customer replies, or if we reopen to reply to them with an update, it stops the workflow.Is there a way to then reset the workflow so it would proceed again?

This is not really a messenger-related question, but I'm really frustrated.  What's everyone's experience with the Intercom Customer Support team in terms of responsiveness? I consistently have a really bad one. Most of my tickets take around 24 hours to receive the first response. When I chatted with their Account rep/CSM, I was told that 24 hours is "expected" - which I think is really ridiculous. I would expect something a bit shorter like 4 hours or 8 hours. This basically means that I don't even get timely answers to urgent questions.  The Account rep/CSM told me about the "Premium" support option - which also seems VERY expensive and something that I feel like most vendors offers at a way lesser cost. Additionally, if there is a product bug, they refuse to keep the ticket open even if I ask them to since they have no ETA. There doesn't seem to be a way to escalate a product bug as well.  What's everyone's experience and how have you

Hi, I need some help with my workflows on my Intercom account.I am trying to organize a workflow wherein if a customer replies to my message to them after an inquiry, it should automatically be assigned to a Team/Folder.So far, I have successfully organized the other by creating a "When a teammate changes ticket state" and inside assigning it to the appropriate Team/Folder.However, I noticed that if a customer replied to a ticket, it is stuck on one of the Teams and I want to change that. Please, help. I've tried everything that I know of but can't seem to make it work. Thanks!

Turning off the silly names: Hi guys is there anyway to turn OFF the silly random names Intercom assigns to unknown users? I just have bad visions of our staff calling a customer "Mr Suitcase" etc etc.....by mistake.

Hi Team,I’m working on a project where we need to automatically add a note whenever a customer starts a conversation. The note should include a URL that is based on the conversation ID. For example, if a customer starts conversation 1234, the note should contain a link like example.com/whatever/1234.Currently, it seems that the workflow's “Add a Note” action does not support directly referencing the conversation ID using {{conversation.id}}.Here’s what I’m considering:Custom Action: Creating a custom action that POSTs the conversation ID to an API endpoint, which then responds with the ID. We could store this ID as a custom attribute and use it in the note. Alternative Methods: Exploring other possible solutions to include the conversation ID directly in the note without complex workarounds.Could you provide suggestions on:How to best implement this functionality within the current workflow capabilities? If there’s a simpler or more efficient method to reference the conversation ID in

Hello 👋  I’d like to get some info about how can I create a report where I can see how many tickets are created by specific agents. Thank you in advance for your help. 

I’ve been exploring different ways to communicate with businesses, and I recently came across a tool called My current zip which uses my device’s GPS location to display my current ZIP code. It got me thinking about how companies can make their messaging more personal and location-relevant. I regularly use Intercom to chat with businesses, and I’m curious how location data, like the one from "My Current Zip," can be incorporated into these interactions to improve the customer experience.For example, when I visit a company’s website, could Intercom send me messages based on my current ZIP code or location? I’m wondering if there are any features or settings that allow a company to send personalized, location-based content to users, like suggesting stores nearby, promotions that are specific to my area, or even notifying me about services in my ZIP code.As a user, I want to know how much control I have over this kind of interaction. If a company is using Intercom, can I choose whether or

Is there a way to “reset” an article’s reaction? For example, if an article received 75% ☹️ (frown face), we’d like to be able to reset it back to zero once an article is updated. That also includes the ability for someone who downvoted it previously to have an opportunity to re-rate the article.
