Hello,I am trying to build a workflow that would automatically close a conversation should the user not reply.Here is the scenario:User contacts us → Workflow triggers if a certain word is contained in the conversation asking the user for more information.The goals we are trying to achieve are:Conversation would automatically closed if the user does not respond within a certain amount of time Should the user respond, the conversation would be assigned to the team ( the workflow triggers would be based on the team so the assignment would be already defined)Would there be any recommendation regarding this ? ( We have tried setting a “customer sends first message” + “ snooze unresponsive conversation based on a conversation tag but it unfortunately does not seem to trigger the snooze unresponsive conversation).Thank you
Save button is greyed out in the authentication section even though I have entered all the values
Hello,I have created a survey to send our customers when they send us notice to cancel. We want to gain insight into the the cancellation, and also offer them a deal to stay. The survey is hosted on a landing page within our website. Then the survey has been embedded into an email that we duplicate and send to individual customers when they cancel. The users of our application are synced nightly with Intercom, so their name, email, and unique id is already in intercom. We send the email, and sometimes when they answer we get back their name and email as being the person who answered. Sometimes that is blank, and we just get back nonsense and have no idea who answered the survey. This is important because if they indicated that they wanted to take us up on our offer, or want to talk to us about their pain points, we need to know who to reach out to.I found these two bits of info in the documentation which may explain why we sometimes do not get the name and email of the person who answe
Hi Team,I’m Darshan Hiranandani, currently migrating our existing rules for automatically closing conversations—such as those triggered by spam or notifications—to our new workflow settings. However, I’m having trouble finding an action that supports this feature.Could anyone provide suggestions or guidance on how to set this up? If you have experience with similar configurations or know of any specific actions that might work, your input would be greatly appreciated.Thank you!RegardsDarshan Hiranandani
I set up identity verification for web about a year ago and it has been working fine until recently when I noticed that for new users the initial ping request fails with the following error:{ "type": "error.list", "request_id": "00008k...", "errors": [ { "code": "invalid_document", "message": "either_email_or_user_id_present validation failed" } ]}My application sends email address only and generates a user_hash HMAC against the email only. I have verified that the new users are sending the correct email and user_hash HMAC using the hash checker tool in the admin web console. What’s odd is that older users pass validation and the ping request succeeds while newer users fail (same code path). I’ve compared the request/response for successful and failing users and I don’t see any difference. I’ve also tried a variety of new email addresses in case there is some email validation I’m unaware of but all new user emails consistently fail. Has anyone else experienced this?
I noticed that gmail strips out whatever styles are included in the style tag with the data-premailer=”ignore” attribute. Is there anyway to send emails without it being needed. All my styles are already inline I don’t need them to be moved for me.
Hello,It would be extremely helpful for us if the conversation url was added to the review suggestion for FIN.Currently it’s practically impossible to find the conversation back and very often the context of the conversation would be useful to understand if the feedback is relevant. And also to understand the reason why FIN gave the answer it gave (if it answered in the first place).It seems like a quick fix, but as mentioned very helpful for us.Thanks for considering it!levi
Hello! I’m wondering if anyone knows why there might be a delay in custom attributes being updated to a “true” status/how long it takes to process. I’m using this to form a rule and currently the delay in attribute updating within intercom is 6+ hours which isn’t ideal. Thank you!
We have Custom Attributes for users, to link them to their respective companies. When you click the attribute, is there a way to make the company information appear in the same tab, currently it opens a new tab.
Hey All! I have extracted the conversation data using Intercom REST API (link) to our data warehouse. The use case is that I want to build a First response time (Bot inbox time excluded) metric from the Intercom reporting in our tableau report. However, we are not sure which fields to use for the calculation. I do have a field named time_to_admin_reply but it includes bot inbox time. Additionally, I am not extracting conversation parts as it is very time-consuming. It would be great if anyone could help me with this. Also, let me know if more information is needed. Thanks in Advance.
Hello,I have a workflow that triggers a message when a user sends any message out of office hours.The problem is that sometimes a teammate responds to tickets out of office hours, so i would like not to trigger this workflow when this is happening.I noticed that in the audience rules there is one called “Last teammate reply”, that is a conversation attribute, but it can be set only in the scale of the days. So if want to set it like “Last teammate reply was less than 1 hour ago”, I couldn’t do it.¿Is there a way to make this audience rule work in the scale of hours and not days?Thanks in advance
For outbound emails, can I set up a custom domain that is owned by someone who is not a part of my organization and does not have an Intercom account?We have a customer who is using a whitelabeled version of our product. We want emails to come from their domain, not ours. I've added the customer's domain as a custom email, but when the customer tries to verify, they are asked to create an account in Intercom. How can we set this up without having the customer be part of our workspace?
UPDATE:I got a reply from Intercom. Apparently, the email address is a unique identifier for users. This means you can never change that. Which as a result means that leads that enter the system via Messenger will end up with whatever email address they entered, and we have to manually create new users with the correct information.---I created a workflow where we request some information from possible leads.However, we want them to use their business email address, not some hotmail, gmail or other general mail address.To accomplish this, I have a branch which checks the email domain and if it is one of the non-wanted email domains it will go back to ask for the business email address again and again until it is correct, or the customer decides to leave.To my surprise it seems you're not able to retype an email address once you entered that. All other fields are fine, name, company etc., but someone decided that once you enter an email address, you have to stick with that?Is there a way
Guys, we have the following problem in the chat integration: We are a SaaS e-commerce platform, so we want to use chat for non-logged-in users (leads) and users logged into your store dashboard (users). For logged in users we are sending the account data to Intercom (email, telephone, name, company name). The problem is a cookie that intercom stores in the user's browser and is stored for a few days. We have merchants with more than one account on our platform and when they enter both accounts the data is exchanged within the intercom. The name of account A goes to account B, in the company of account A a user is created with the data of company B. How can we solve this problem?
Hello,Is it possible to use the email and phone number together as a unique identifier?Thank you,Keti
I noticed when I manage snippets I no longer see a count of how many times the snippet was used in a FIN answer. Is that stat appearing somewhere else now or was it removed for some specific reason? The use count for snippets was super helpful to show effectiveness and also to help justify cost for FIN. Thanks!

Hello Intercom Team,I’m facing an issue with loading the Intercom messenger in my SvelteKit web app. Sometimes, the messenger in both the local environment and the deployed environment gives an error and it does not showing up, also in firefox it does not work at all: Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'parentNode') at s (index.YkDx8vIC.js:2:4217)layout.svelte: (run only in client side) <script lang="ts"> import '../app.css'; import '../fonts.css'; import { Toaster } from '$lib/components/ui/sonner'; import { onMount } from 'svelte'; import { browser } from '$app/environment'; onMount(async () => { if (browser) { const { Intercom } = await import('@intercom/messenger-js-sdk'); Intercom({ app_id: 'XXXX' }); } });</script>Additionally, I tested it in a normal server-client setup, and it also gives the same error.How can I fix the issue?

When I export the CSV exel file with the NPS responses, the “completed_at” field is often empty.Why does this happen?This does not happen with the similar field “received_at”.Could you help me clear up this doubt?

I’ve set up a workflow to send an automated message to users when they use keywords related to pricing. I only want the message to send one time in the conversation. If the user responds then the price message is sent again. How can I change this?
Hey there, we’re trying to redirect from our old helpdesk URL to the new site on intercom. The slug did contacint an “ü”. We have redirection from:https://help.oursite.com/de/grünhttps://help.oursite.com/de/gr%C3%BCnTo an article on intercom. Redirection (published and everything set correctly) seems not working, it just redirects to oursite.com/deI would have expected a 404 if something is wrong, like when calling help.oursite.com/de/does-not-exist Whats wrong here?BRChristian
How I can get FIN to include information in its knowledge sources based on articles with Target Audience rules turned on?The scenario is that we have some articles in our HelpCenter that we want to restrict to certain groups of users. However when check the FIN knowledge base, none of the articles that I have Target Audience rules on appear here. Is there a way to add them to the knowledge base?
