Hi Team,I’m Darshan Hiranandani, in the process of migrating our current rules for automatically closing conversations (like those for spam and notifications) to the new workflow settings. However, I’m having trouble finding the appropriate action for this task.Could anyone offer suggestions on how to configure workflows to automatically close conversations based on specific message types? If you have any tips or know where I might find the relevant action or setting, your input would be greatly appreciated.Thanks in advance for your help!RegardsDarshan Hiranandani
I’m adding a Banner, and I would like to open a Chat if a user interacts with the banner. Eg. “Here is new feature X, click here to give feedback.” → Opens chat. Is there any way to do this?
Hi All, I’m fairly new to intercom so this may be a straightforward question! We use intercom not only for our client and user queries but we also direct some internal customer success queries to the intercom inbox. I’m wondering if there is a way we can turn off the automated response for any people who reach out to us from our internal email domain? Thanks, Caitlin
I need to know how the use of snooze has impacted my average resolution time, specifically the additional time it has added (the time the chat was in Snooze) from the moment an agent was assigned until the closure.What is the best way to create a report that provides me with this information? I couldn't find a filter that gives me the average snooze time in conversations. To be more specific, I need to know how long my resolutions would take without the snoozes.And if possible, I would like to know the total time spent in snooze.
Bonjour, Est-il possible d’intégrer Intercom avec Sellsy ?
Does anyone know if there’s a character limit for Help Center articles in Intercom? I want to ensure that my content stays within any guidelines for readability and optimal user experience. If there is a limit, what’s the best way to handle longer content—should it be split into multiple articles or sections? Any insights or best practices would be appreciated!
I’d like to know if there’s a way to make inserted images in my article display in full screen when clicked. If that’s not possible, can we resize the graphics to make it happen?
Is there any way to add some kind of visual alert in the chats to show when the time has exceeded the defined SLA?For example, if the response time is 1 minute and that time passes without a response from the customer, a red alert would appear in the chat to notify. Something like this example:Green: time is okayOrange: attentionRed: out of time

When a user uploads an attachment in a conversation, we observed that:The webhook payload contains an html string with the file URL somehwere inside it: "body": "<div class=\"intercom-container\"><img src=\"https://downloads.intercomcdn.com/i/o/112xxxxx53/131xxxx01249e994131/image.png?expires=1722233700&signature=8a70c55c0ed3000c00ae533xxxxxxxxebc3407b10136029aff26bd5f3c3\"></div>" In custom actions using `Last Message Body` we get "payload": "[Image \"some-file.png?expires=1722255300&amp;signature=f0e6d92d99861c0046910ace7821c80c06850fad91498faxxxxxxxxxxxxxx\"]", We ask:How to get the file url as plaintext, not html, in webhook how to get complete file url in custom actions When user uploads multiple files we get multiple webhook events - and not a single one with all the files inside of it. It means we have to somehow wait and aggregate webhooks, but we wouldn’t know when to stop. Is there a way to receive multiple files on a webhook? We couldn’t get mu
Hi there!I have been toying around and can’t find a solution. My customer support center operates Monday-Friday 3am-7pm ET. I want to disable messenger during this time OR, use Fin AI to create a ticket instead of allowing a conversation (ideal).Has anyone done this successfully? Would love any approach that has worked.Thanks in advance for any ideas! For context on the approach I tried:I created a workflow When customer sends first message (outside of office hours) > Convert to ticket. Instead of this flow initiating, the bot keeps trying to answer my questions when I send my message. I don’t want that - I want the bot to immediate trigger the ticket workflow.
how can I add a step between to steps in a workflow?
Has anyone done this and have a reference to use as a starting point? We want to launch messenger from a URL for our field employees so they can have easy access to a mobile app so they can start conversations and file tickets.The current way isLog in to our app (which is not mobile optimized) Find the launcher widget/buble Open Messenger - it opens full screen on mobile which is really niceI’d love to just have a link / bookmark that launches Messenger in a fullscreen mobile

Is there a way to reassign just WhatsApp conversations when a team member is absent during office hours? We do not need to reassign conversations from email or other channels, just WhatsApp.
Hi, I am looking for help / insights on the following use case. In our business, when a user confirms a purchase through our website, we automatically create a ticket in Intercom for the after sales process.Every user booking with us, will always have a ticket in intercom.Now, when the user confirms a purchase, we send multiple transactional emails to the user about their purchase status, payments status etc.These transactional email’s content is put together in our monolith and then sent via sendgrid.How can I get a copy of these emails on the intercom ticket?Our sales team uses Pipedrive, which offers a unique email per case that we can CC. This email is then correctly attached to the case.Sending our transactional emails through intercom is not an option as we have no plan to move our complex transactional emails over from Sendgrid. Looking forward to any insights.

Hello, I am using presentMessageComposer to open intercom with a pre-filled message. I am using it like this: static async presentMessageComposer(initialMessage?: string) {try {await Intercom.presentMessageComposer(initialMessage);} catch (error) {Logger.error(error);}} Although it opens the intercom the initial message is being ignored for android and iOS.I am on the latest version of react native intercom. Is it a known issue? Thank you

Hey! I configured Intercom using instructions for the Angular Web app. We have requirements to support visitors without logins and users with logins. So I followed your instructions and implemented it like this: // In the AppComponent which is the root component, I added this codeimport {Intercom} from '@intercom/messenger-js-sdk';@Component({ selector: 'my-app', templateUrl: './app.component.html', styleUrls: ['./app.component.scss']})export class AppComponent implements OnInit { ngOnInit(): void { this.initIntercom(); } private initIntercom(): void{ Intercom({app_id: environment.intercomSettings.app_id}); }}// We are calling the boot method when the user successfully logs inboot({ 'app_id': environment.intercomSettings.app_id, 'id': this.userApi.currentUser.id, 'user_id': String(this.userApi.currentUser.id), 'name': this.userApi.currentUser.name, 'email': this.userApi.currentUser.email, 'created_at': Math.floor(new
