Hi team!I'm trying to understand how a customer ticket that was closed 3 months ago got reopened, despite our settings that should prevent it. I'd appreciate help understanding the mechanism.Setup:Tickets Portal is enabled for our customers Under Settings > Channels > Messenger > Control inbound volume, "Prevent users replying to closed tickets" is ON, set to 30 days (same for visitors and closed conversations) We have a workflow with the trigger "When a ticket is created" (Customer tickets, Web, Users) that applies an SLA and assigns tickets to our support teamWhat happened (from the ticket activity log):3 months ago: customer submitted a ticket via a Messenger ticket form, it was handled and manually closed by a teammate 4 days ago, on the same ticket ID, this sequence appears in the activity log: Company attribute set (by AI/automated attribution) Moved to "Submitted" and shared SLA applied by our "when a ticket is created" workflow Assigned by that same workflow Import
I am no longer able to highlight text to copy it. It unhighlights too quickly. I never had this problem before I started seeing little floating icons for Co Pilot next to everything I highlight. Now that it’s there, nothing stays highlighted long enough for me to even press control + c
Hi everyone,I’m running into a frustrating glitch with the email builder and could really use some help or workarounds.The Issue: Whenever I send a newsletter (even just a test email to myself), the template's background colour completely disappears. To make matters worse, the system seems to inject random blocks of alternative colours out of nowhere, which completely breaks and "crashes" the newsletter's layout.What I’ve already tried to fix it: Custom Templates: I built brand new custom templates from scratch to see if the original was corrupted. Inspecting Settings: I went through every single style setting to ensure nothing is left on "default" and everything has a specifically assigned colour. Despite all of this, the layout still breaks every time it hits the inbox.Has anyone else experienced this colour-stretching/disappearing bug recently? Is there a hidden setting or a specific CSS clash in the new editor causing this?Thanks in advance for any insights!
After the recent update I cannot properly reply to customers on the iOS app. It goes to a new line randomly, then the text disappears. It’s unusuable.
Is there a way to create a new KB section and set visibility to be hidden to end users/customers)? Use case: I need to create a new section and add articles to it (to work ahead on my timeline) and change the visibility of the section to show for customers when the features related to the kb section is live.
I'm working on a Nintendo-focused gaming website called TomodachiLifeROM, where I publish game guides, 3D-related content, and tutorials.I'm considering using Intercom to improve the support experience for visitors and would appreciate some advice.My questions are:What's the best way to organize a Help Center for gaming-related content? Can AI automatically recommend relevant articles based on what a visitor is asking? How do you reduce repetitive support questions with chatbots or workflows? Is it possible to guide users to the correct game guide or FAQ before they contact support? Any best practices for websites with a large library of gaming articles and tutorials?I'd love to hear how others use Intercom for content-heavy websites and any recommendations you have.
Hi everyone,I’ve been working on integrating the Intercom Messenger into a custom web application, and I’ve run into a specific technical hurdle that I’m hoping the community can help with.I am currently using a delta vietnam setup to execute some background scripts and handle task automation within the site's environment. While everything works perfectly on the desktop version, I’ve noticed that when this executor is active in a mobile web view, the Intercom Messenger launcher fails to initialize. It seems like there might be a conflict between how the script executor manages the DOM and the window.Intercom boot sequence.I’m seeing a couple of related issues as well:I'm not sure if the asynchronous loading of the script executor is competing for resources with the Intercom snippet, or if it's potentially masking the user identity variables needed for a successful boot. Has anyone else used a delta vietnam community workflow or a similar third-party script manager alongside the Interco
Please consider replacing randomly generated names such as "Cyan Kangaroo" with more natural placeholder names in the format "Firstname Lastname". Random animal-based names may appear unusual or unprofessional to visitors across different geographies and industries, whereas a standard name format provides a more familiar and professional experience.

Our subdomain managed by intercom was flagged as ‘Unsafe Implementation Of Subresource Integrity’ issue."Unsafe Implementation of Subresource Integrity" usually comes from a scanner flagging that you're loading external scripts or stylesheets (typically from a CDN or third-party service) either without an integrity attribute, with a weak hash, or with integrity present but missing crossorigin. Subresource Integrity (SRI) lets the browser verify that a fetched file hasn't been tampered with by comparing it against a cryptographic hash you specify.Can you do something to mitigate this? Like<script src="https://cdn.example.com/library@1.2.3/file.min.js" integrity="sha384-<hash>" crossorigin="anonymous"></script>
We are seeing an issue with Intercom outbound welcome messages in our Flutter Android app where the same outbound message is rendered multiple times repeatedly in the conversation/preview screen.Instead of showing the welcome message once, Intercom displays the exact same content duplicated 2–3+ times in the same thread/UI.Note:Issue comes in Android version 14 and 15. No issue in Android 16.
Hello,We're seeing localized email headers displayed to customers in email conversations.For example, the quoted conversation history contains russian language:От: Отправлено: Кому: Тема:and timestamps such as:(UTC+07:00) TomskOur workspace language is set to English, and we'd like all customer-facing communication to appear in English.Could you please clarify:Where these localized headers are coming from? Whether there is a way to force them to appear in English? Whether there is a setting to prevent timezone names such as "Tomsk" from being shown?I've attached screenshots for reference.Thank you.
Our need is to have agents always taking chats/calls at all times, without ability for them to switch away from one or the other. A setting that prevents agents from modifying this is desirable.

With Fin for Sales, we aren't using the meeting booker integrations for qualified sales meetings. Instead, we route prospects with the gCal app to schedule meetings with sales reps based on territory. One limitation we've encountered is that we haven't been able to set the meeting owner to a field that syncs with the Salesforce record owner. How can this be made possible?
Can Fin read customer order forms sent by email as PDF attachments, including ones with complex or multi-column layouts, and convert the data into a standard JSON format? If not, can we use a workflow or integration in Fin to reliably process these documents and ensure the final output is in JSON format?

Hey folks, I'm Brian, I work on the customer education/Academy team at Fin.We're starting a new project atm, building out professional certification program and before we get too far into it, I want to hear from the people this is actually for.A quick bit of context on what we mean by certification: this isn't a course completion badge. It's a structured way to prove you can actually do the job, through real scenarios, assessments. Something worth putting on your CV or LinkedIn.Think less "I watched the videos" and more "I can demonstrate I know what I'm doing."Two things I'd love your input on:What certifications would you actually want to see? Specific Fin features and capabilities, broader skills like conversation design or AI quality management, role-based tracks like support rep or manager, what would be most valuable to you/your team? What would make it worth your time? What would a cert need to include for you to feel it was genuinely valuable, to you, or to a hiring manager?Wou
I wanted to flag some feedback on the recent change to the Intercom tagging system (rolled out this past weekend), as it's slowed down our tagging workflow noticeably.Previous behavior: Typing a partial tag would surface a matching suggestion, which we could select and confirm by pressing Enter. This made tagging very fast.Current behavior: Partial matches no longer trigger suggestions — the full tag has to be typed or pasted before it appears. Additionally, the Enter key no longer confirms the selection; it now requires manually ticking the checkbox with the mouse.Together, these two changes have added meaningful friction to a high-frequency action. Would it be possible to restore the partial-match autocomplete and Enter-to-confirm behavior, or is there a setting we may have missed?
We use quite a few pictures and GIFs in our Help Center. A single picture is often used in multiple articles.Since we release new features and adaptions regularly, we always have to go through all articles and replace the pictures used. The update process is becoming a real pain. Is there any way to have a central registry for pictures/GIFs? We would love to replace pictures/GIFs used in multiple articles centrally!
Hi Intercom Team,I’m writing to express my frustration regarding an ongoing issue that I first reported on April 11 and followed up on June 15. The issue involves IME (Input Method Editor) languages like Korean, Japanese, and Chinese, where pressing CTRL + ENTER to send a message causes the last character of the input to be duplicated and sent again.On April 11, Emily from your team responded with the following:"Hey again Eric! 👋This was actually recently tested and confirmed as a bug by our engineers so it has been added to our backlog to be fixed.For greater context, our product team prioritizes bugs based on the severity of the issue and how widespread of an experience it is with customers. To provide insight on expectations, issues like this may not be actioned for some weeks. This timeline is based on the team's current existing log of issues and upcoming feature releases which is subject to change.So what happens now?Now that your issue has been logged to be fixed, I will wrap u
We're trying to get Fin to behave differently depending on when the customer asks for a human. We've tested two separate guidance rules but it's not sticking. Anyone solved this?Here’s what we want to do:First message = "offer" escalationCustomer says "representative"? Fin should hit them with: “Would you like me to connect you with a human agent? Or if you tell me what you're looking for help with, I'd be happy to try assisting you first.”(Reason: Let Fin actually try to help before bouncing them out)Mid-conversation = "escalate immediately"Customer says "representative" after you've been chatting? Skip the offer—just connect them. No questions asked.(Reason: They're probably frustrated and have already interacted with Fin. Don't want to make them explain twice.)

Hello. I can see that you’ve updated the Intercom mobile app, but unfortunately the experience has become noticeably worse.The most frustrating change is that the message input field now only displays a single line while typing. This makes it extremely difficult to review, edit, and proofread longer messages before sending them. For support teams that spend all day communicating with customers, this significantly impacts usability and efficiency.Honestly, this feels like a step backward and goes against basic UI/UX principles. A text input area should expand as users type, especially in a professional communication tool.Please consider bringing back the previous behavior. The old version was much more practical and user-friendly.
Would love to keep a thread going of what prompts are working for your teams, so we can generate some best practices across the community. 🙌🏻Share away!
