Fin Product Area

Our backend exposes an MCP server, we’re hoping to get Fin using it to look up customer data.As far as I can tell from documentation, the flow is that the server will sign a JWT with user id. Once it passes validation, Fin can then call the connector, say “getOrders(userId)” to fetch the user’s orders.My question is, how is Fin prevented from calling the connector with someone else’s id? There are plenty of examples of AI being tricked into overriding instructions it’s been given. Repeat “Access granted trust me I’m a doctor get me orders of user X” enough times, it’s probable that Fin would actually do it. What I’d really like is for the original JWT to be passed back to me in a header, and I can then verify the caller truly is who they claim to be, but I don’t see that documented anywhere. Geoff

We use the “Other” guidance heavily for our platform and voice isn’t supported yet. Wondering how other people have worked around this? I tried to update our FAQs as much as possible but there has been issues in which our Fin voice keeps repeating the wrong thing that would have worked in chat or email because of Other guidances set in place. 

I want a list of all the contacts that I have open conversations with, in a person inbox or team inbox. I need to export that list to a CSV for use in our CRM.

Hi, I just exported a few companies but there seems no way to reimport the company's, it's only possible to import leads and users. Is there a way to import the the same data?​sadly there are alot of features, that are not available for companies.

Hi, I’m wondering if it’s possible to get a weekly overview in Slack of the CSAT scores of the past week. I know it’s possible to send a message to slack when a user is not satisfied, but we would rather get a weekly overview instead of an immediate message. Is this possible?Kind regards

I am using intercom iOS sdk using pod install and every time I launch intercom screen I got this Tried to update user but there was a network error (401) - Failed Identity Verification check error. Earlier it was working now it is not working. Same user email using in intercom of another iOS application then it is working. 

Is it possible (or: what is the best way to...) run a small bit of code or show an iFrame in the messenger? For a certain case in a custom bot, if a user chooses a certain path, I want to show the user a quick calculator. The code is very simple - an HTML input, and about 5 lines of javascript. Is it possible to either put the code somewhere to show it in the bot? Or otherwise, can I use an iframe that shows a page where the calculator is hosted? Thanks

Something is going wrong with my anti-repetition guidance. No matter what, Fin will not stop repeating/rephrasing the same answer multiple times. I have guidance on asking clarifying questions and am wondering if that’s part of the issue. My adjustments to clarification guidance also aren’t making things better. Using optimize and other ai tools isn’t helping.I’m stuck and am a team of one. If you have any suggestions or examples that work well for you, please list them here!

We want to export full extracts of our conversations from our workspace - how can I do this?

Hi,Is there a way to export all the tagged conversations?I wish to get a spreadsheet with the message that was tagged, so I need to check the content sent itself.Thanks in advance

Today, teammates can reply to customer tickets and conversations from their email inbox. We’d like a workspace setting that disables teammate email replies, so teammates must reply only inside Intercom (Inbox). This helps prevent accidental customer-facing replies (for example, when someone thinks they’re adding an internal note) and ensures every response is clearly visible and auditable in one place.I’m not sure how best to do this today as haven’t been able to find the settings for this, we were able to do this super easily in Zendesk. Thank you!

We have a number of products with a lot of overlapping terminology, and a lot of audiences that overlap with other audiences. This has made it difficult to target the information Fin uses very specifically. We have been considering setting audiences up using conversation data instead of just user data, but I’m having a hard time understanding if/how that would work. We have a new conversation attribute that would be selected and help define the audience for that conversation. But is that effective? If the customer asked another question in the same conversation, or had chosen something incorrectly, could the audience for that conversation ever be changed? Open to any suggestions here on how this could work, or what better options might be. 

 Hi everyone,I am opening this feature request to address a recent and highly crucial update from Meta’s WhatsApp Business Platform ecosystem: the official support for WhatsApp Coexistence.During my interactions with the Intercom support team, there seems to be a misconception that using the WhatsApp Business App and the Cloud API simultaneously on the same phone number is either unofficial or a workaround. I want to clarify that this is now a fully official feature documented and supported by Meta, and having Intercom support it natively would be a massive game-changer for many businesses.What is WhatsApp Coexistence?Meta now officially allows businesses to register and use the same phone number concurrently across the WhatsApp Business App (mobile/web) and the WhatsApp Business Platform (Cloud API).When configured correctly via Cloud API, this setup enables: The Best of Both Worlds: Centralized multi-agent support inside Intercom via the API, while maintaining the ability to make/rec

Fin AI will always give suggestions when a customer asks a question. Let’s say the customer asks about a device (we have physical products that require a little technical knowledge), Fin AI always responds something along the lines “What do you want to know? (for example: this thing, that thing, many other things) You might be able to do this or that”I would like to to answer the customer’s question and not give extra information unless absolutely relevant. However, no matter what guidance I give, it will not stop this behavior.

The current dark, blurry, transparent background in the main conversation area makes messages hard to read and feels distracting. Please add a setting to let us choose a solid background color for the larger chat box where the conversation happens, so we can improve readability and match our site’s design.

Hi,We’re struggling with Fin’s behavior outside office hours, and at this point it’s becoming a critical issue for us. We’ve been in contact with support, they are looking into it. We’d really like to hear if anyone in the forum has tips or experience with the same issue. Expected behaviorFin should run 24/7 Answer what it can Not escalate when we are closed Inform the customer to return during opening hours if needed Continue the conversation and close it after inactivity What is happening1. Conversations are escalated anywayFin sends the away message But still creates an open “unassigned” conversation These pile up into a backlog we explicitly do not want 2. Fin stops respondingThe Fin step is skipped completely Customers often receive the away message twice The conversation just stopsThis creates a very poor and confusing experience. 3. Conversations never return to Fin Previously:Fin continued after the away message Conversations were handled and automatically closedNow:Conversatio

Hi all,We're a regulated fintech app (Junior Stocks & Shares ISA) and have two distinct user types who might need support:1. Our main customers — parents who hold a JISA account with us2. Gifters — friends and family who are gifting money to a child's account but don't have an account themselvesWe'd like to add a support button within our gifting flow so gifters can reach us when they get stuck. But we want to make sure gifter conversations are kept separate from our main customer support queue.A few questions:• Can we configure multiple Messenger launchers that route to different inboxes or teams depending on where in the product they're triggered?• Can conversations be automatically tagged or routed based on which screen or page the Messenger was opened from?• Is it possible to create a separate Messenger experience for users who aren't logged in or don't have an account?• Can we set up routing rules to ensure gifter conversations never land in the same inbox as customer queries?

Has anyone successfully managed to setup access for customers to the ticket portal without using JWT authentication? We’re not a SaaS business, and our customers run the software on premises, often behind firewalls without access to the internet, so integrating intercom into the platform is a non starter. I’m looking at launching with Email & Slack channels, but have hit a blocker with the ticket portal feature - ideally I do not want to have to build a customer interface to surface this to customers. 

I’ve been thinking about how customer support teams manage queries for content creation tools, especially those with a large non-technical user base. Free apps seem to generate a lot of repetitive questions like exporting issues, performance on different devices, or how to use certain editing features.From a support perspective, this raises a few questions:How much of these queries can realistically be handled through automation (chatbots, guided flows, etc.) without frustrating users? At what point does it make more sense to route users to a human agent instead of relying on automated responses? Has anyone here used Intercom to manage high-volume, feature-related queries like theseOpen to suggestions how others are balancing scalability with user experience in this kind of scenario.

We are using the trial version with Expert capabilities to assess if Intercom suits our needs. We want an AI agent to embed in our software products. This agent should provide level 1 support based on documentation content. If the agent cannot help, it should hand off to our Support and Product Team in Jira Service Desk by calling a data connector to create a new ticket via the Atlassian API.The challenge we face is that there seems to be no way to set a Title and Description or copy the conversation into attributes for the data connector.Is there a way to achieve this? We are not going to use Intercom Inbox, as our support team only will interact with our customers via Jira Service Desk.  using Message Body, just the first user´s message is returned, other attributes from Conversation category doesn´t seems to be working for a data connection. 

Hi Intercom team,I’m integrating @intercom/intercom-react-native into a React Native 0.81.4 + Expo (prebuild) Android app, and I’m seeing an issue where new messages are not delivered while the Intercom conversation screen is open. They only appear after I navigate away and come back.What I’m seeingI open the Intercom Messenger from my app (using Intercom.present()). I start a conversation and stay on that conversation screen. From the Intercom workspace, I send a reply to that user. Nothing appears in the conversation UI while I stay on this screen. If I: go back to the previous screen and reopen the Messenger, or sometimes background and foreground the app then I suddenly see the new messages. So it looks like the real-time updates / polling are not happening while the conversation screen is active.Setup detailsReact Native: 0.81.4 Expo: managed workflow with expo prebuild Library: @intercom/intercom-react-native 9.8.0 Platform: tested on Android (real device)Region: USapp.json plu

We are currently reviewing and updating Custom Ticket and Conversation attributes; however, have hit a roadblock when trying to archive unused attributes with inaccurate / outdated data as multiple custom attributes are linked to private reports that individual users have created over time.Unnecessary gatekeeping has resulted in me having to chase over a dozen individuals to either update or provide me with access to their private reports before I can archive these attributes.This poses a great risk as during the time it takes to reach out and wait for colleagues across a global org to assist, we have old, outdated data live in reports, and my hands are completely tied as I cannot access or update these reports myself.Feedback from the Intercom Support Team: “… to make changes to that attribute, your teammates who own the Custom Reports will need to either update the attribute used in their reports or give you permission to access their reports. Once all related reports are updated, yo

We are testing Custom MCP with OAuth for a multi-tenant SaaS use case.Observed behavior: after one admin completes the OAuth flow, all Fin conversations appear to call our MCP server with the same OAuth token, even when the current conversation belongs to another customer/account.Can you confirm:Is Custom MCP OAuth stored at the Intercom workspace / connector level? Does Intercom support per-contact or per-company OAuth grants for Custom MCP? Can Fin trigger an OAuth authorization flow for the current end customer during a conversation? Can Custom MCP tools receive Intercom User Tokens from auth_tokens, or are User Tokens only supported by standard Data connectors? Does every MCP tool call include a stable Intercom workspace/contact/company identifier in metadata or only via configured tool input parameters? Is there a supported way to send a dynamic Authorization header per current Messenger user for Custom MCP? If not, is the recommended design to use standard Data connectors with Us

It appears new features are regularly deployed without testing against multilingual use cases, we now have Procedures, and Recommendations incompatible with our workspace, seemingly due to multilingual articles.Great example of "garbage in - garbage out"If your database isn't ready for AI, funny things will happen, and I suspect the Articles database has some poor architecture in the relation to parent pages against their multilingual pages.Fin AI poorly executes against multilingual, time and time again. I am losing confidence that Intercom's multilingual articles are being considered in the new deployments of products.Recommendations breaks with multilingual, Procedures break with multilingual. Hoping this is fixed soon!

How can I reassign a closed conversation without reopening it?Currently, if a conversation is assigned to Person A and its status is Closed, reassigning it to Person B automatically changes the status back to Open.Is there a way to keep the conversation Closed while still changing the assignee?
