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. 

We are using surveys to collect user feedback - is there a way to receive an email notification or send responses to Slack when new responses are submitted by users?  (we have a low volume of responses and are missing customer's reaching out) Thanks

We use Intercom in one of our apps to allow users to contact our Operations team. We currently have an issue where users open multiple conversations with the Operations team and the Operations team then need to try and follow multiple threads in order to resolve issues. This adds extra work for the operations team and delays the resolution of issues. Is there a way of limiting the number of conversations a single user can have open at one time to one?

Our user/agents first & last names are displayed for all customer interactions. Is there a way to change settings so that when customers interact with agents, they don't see "Joe Smith". Rather they just see "Joe" or "Mr. Smith"?

For years now I have tried to segment users with csv uploads. I find that often users wont surface in the upload that are on the list and in intercom. For example, my csv might include just emails of 63 users with finance permissions, then only 23 surface (when only 4 were dups and the rest are legitimate contacts in intercom). Any tips why some wont surface in the upload?

Cuando intento crear tickets de Intercom a Jira me esta arrojando el error:{  "code": 401,  "message": "Unauthorized"}Esto nunca me habia sucedido y de hecho media hora antes habia creado un ticket sin novedad, me podrian ayudar para verificar que puede ser por favor 

I'm exploring ways to improve customer support on Intercom, and I came across Speakatoo's text-to-speech (TTS) API. Has anyone integrated a TTS service like Speakatoo into their Intercom workflows? I'm particularly interested in using it to convert text-based responses into audio for customers who may prefer listening to solutions rather than reading them. Could this enhance the accessibility and user experience of support interactions? What challenges or best practices should I consider when integrating text-to-speech within a customer support platform like Intercom?

I’ve been struggling to get Tickets setup in a way that works for usOur engineers use Jira for all bugs, issues etcWe previously used Conversations for all issues and a ‘Tier 2’ inbox, have been trialling using Tickets however coming up with a few roadblocksWhen converting to Customer Ticket for a bug, then discovering that a different user has the same issue we quickly double up on work as the ticket needs to be created again as a Tracker Ticket, this then creates a new Jira issueWould creating all tickets as Tracker Tickets be better here? Also, we’re struggling to post the IntercomURL to the Jira Issue, so Engineers can refer back to the conversations when working on the issue as ID or URL isn’t exposed in Automations, is there a workaround for this?We’re having to paste the URL into a text field when we create the ticketThe basic Jira for Tickets has this however when you want to use custom flows it’s not possible it looks like

Hello, I’m Julio Herrera from Via Dei Vellutini, Italia. I’m looking for a method to retrieve hidden recipient email addresses from a sent email when they aren’t visible in my email client’s sent folder. What are the best ways to access this information, and how can I ensure that the process complies with privacy and data protection regulations?

Hi all, I’m trying to solve for a use case where conversations will be routed to other Teams should there be no one available on the desired team. To illustrate: A conversation is opened and should be routed to Team A as per the user’s qualification. However, there is no one available on Team A, but there is an agent available on Team B and thus the conversation is routed to Team B instead. I’m aware that Balanced assignment supports a Primary & Secondary inbox, however this doesn’t work for us in this exact case due to our volume. We aren’t currently in a place where we’d like to limit the amount of conversations an agent may have concurrently, but we do like the balanced distribution of conversations the Balanced inbox provides. Given that we aren’t limiting the amount of conversations an agent can have (and our queues are always at 0), my thinking is that conversations will start to get routed to the Secondary skills at the wrong times and end up causing more bad than good. Has

Hi! Can anyone help me know where to find all the recipients’ info in an email on Intercom?I don’t see any feature that allows to show the full version where you get to see who the messagewas sent to and other details such as who was CC’d, etc Thank you!  

Hi all, how do I go about updating the social media link(s) at the bottom of the emails we send to customers in campaigns via Proactive Support? At the moment there’s only a link to our Twitter at the bottom of our outbound emails (see pic below), and I want to update it to our LinkedIn account - however there doesn’t seem to be an option to change this anywhere in either the email template or in the account settings. Any help would be appreciated!

Hi 👋🏼 We’re looking at updating some of our T&Cs and would like to use in-app messaging instead of an email to collect consent from our users. Has anyone done a similar project before and how did you execute it? 👀We’d want to target the messages only to admin users, track their consent status (with a time stamp) and be able to export a list of users (who have / haven’t given consent, have / haven’t received the message etc.).Thanks in advance for anyone who might be able to help here 🌸

We have a custom user attribute "sub_expires" of the type "Date". We would like to target all users whose sub_expires falls within the next 24 hours to send a reminder. However, none of the date filters seem to do what we want. Translating our need to a relative date would be "(sub_expires in) less than 1 day", but the relative filter is "days ago". So we target "less than -1 days ago", but this segment is returning everyone with the property. If we target "exactly 0 days ago", it returns everyone who expired today.If we target "exactly -1 days ago", it still returns everyone who expired today (we would expect this to return zero as the negative is "exactly tomorrow").If we target "less than -1 days ago" we get people expiring in 2025. Are negative filters not allowed? Is there an issue with our data type? Am I interpreting these filters incorrectly? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

We are trying to configure the ticketing system so that it can always remain accessible in a tab, allowing users to only submit tickets while simultaneously having access to chat. Could you please advise us on how we should set it up to achieve this functionality?Additionally, we would like to know what should be configured for times when the support team is unavailable, or when the queue is too busy.We’ve already set up the working hours, but it hasn’t made a difference.Thank you for your help.

I am getting quite a few Errors and Warnings on my Technical SEO site audit in regards to the help center articles I have published to the public and set to index. The biggest issue is that there are some articles coming back with hreflang conflicts within page source. I am wondering how to fix this so my site health can increase and the google bots are able to crawl everything appropriately.  Also, it seems all of my help center articles have outgoing internal links that contain nofollow attribute (to our main domain and subdomains). This issue says there is a rel="nofollow" attribute that is telling the crawlers not to follow the link, which is NOT recommended for SEO purposes, and rather should let the link juice flow freely.  I recently made all my articles visible to the public and a ton of these types of Errors, Warnings, and Notices are now appearing on my Site Audit and hurting my site health. Any advice is greatly appreciated! Thank you 😀

I’m having trouble with QuickBooks Payroll not updating. The update either fails or gets stuck at a certain stage each time I try. Restarting the software hasn’t resolved the issue. What could be causing this, and what steps can I take to fix it?

Hello,I am building up a suite of knowledge articles and have been adding alt-tag information wherever possible.I wanted to know if Intercom automatically adds a null alt tag to any images that do not have alt tag data added or if I need to do this manually myself?Just to note, null tag data is added into any alt tag if you want a screen reader to skip the image altogether. That way for any decorative images, for example, you don’t need to add a detailed description as it will not assist with the overall comprehension for the user and it also means that the user doesn’t get annoying and useless information when using a screen reader.Thanks, Emma

I have multiple conversations from the same customer. I would like to merge them into a single conversation for easier tracking.
