I’ve set up a custom bot that opens a chat and provides a help article when a user clicks on an HTML element on the page. The article displays directly in the chat and describes the page they are on.The article has links to other articles. (The links provided at the top of each article).When I click the links from the article displayed in the chat, nothing happens. If I right click and load in a new tab from the chat, it loads the associated help center page for the article in a new tab. If I view the articles in the help center the links work between articles.How do I add links so that they work both in articles displayed IN CHAT, and articles displayed in the help center? Is there a special URL format that works for both?Optimally, a user should be able to navigate the articles directly in chat from the links and close the chat when they are done. Viewing the same articles in the Help Center, they should be able to navigate from the links in articles to other articles.
We are creating product tours for customers with different URLs. We are having an issue where we create the tour in one account, and it is not working for another account.Some of the tours won't even start on another account; some get stuck a couple of steps later. We created all of them the same way and see inconsistencies.Has anyone encountered this, and what solution did you find to the problem?
Is there a resource that compares Series and Workflow?
Are there any 3rd party solutions available to integrate Intercom and KakaoTalk?
Hello team,Could you tell me which permission is necessary in a custom role to an invited user in an organisation to access sender email address while he can add/archive/edit a custom email addresses? Let me also share the screenshot of it for the clear preview of it.
Can I merge the ticket from the same user?
I have two different tickets that are basically on the same issue and I wanted to merge both of them into one. Is the feature developed or will it be developed soon? It's an important feature for us. Thanks
Hi. Is there a tag I can add to my template to show a link to view the current email in the browser?Ideally it would just output URL.
Hi, I've been using Intercom Messenger on our Angular web app, and it seems to be working perfectly fine so far. However, we decided to also use the new Product Tour feature for new users, since we already have Intercom Messenger, but when I try using the Product Tour builder and entering the address to the prod site (with the Intercom Messenger integrated) it loads the page up but then shows an alert that says "Sorry, we can't load the tools to build Product Tours on your website. Please make sure the Intercom Messenger is installed on the URL you have chosen to build your tour".This is odd because when the page loads I can see the Intercom Messenger icon on the bottom left of the screen. Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you.
Hi there, Our users can be a part of multiple companies. When using our app, they can switch between company workspaces (much like with Intercom, and many other services). Every company has an attribute "isTrialing". I'd like to send a banner to a customer when they are in the company workspace that is currently trialing. I can create rules to "send banner to user when company is trialing", but this is then sent to the user no matter which company workspace they are in. This banner should only be sent to the user when they are in the workspace of the company that is currently trialing. Would appreciate any advice. Thanks!
I'd like to send a series of emails to users who have never logged in on our product (i.e. to encourage them to log in and look around), what's the easiest and most reliable way of triggering this on SERIES via the entry rules? Thanks in advance!
Hi, I want to use Intercom for Account Management and create sequences. I have found Series + email might be an option here, but then sending emails with unsubscribe links look like I am sending a marketing email, which doesn’t work for my case. Does anybody have any suggestions on using Intercom for Account Management and being able to create sequences without unsubscribe links, so that they are sent automatically and are seen as personal emails?
We have different clinical trials that have their own requirements and we'd like to be able to have each trial have its own user manual. Trial 1 might use modules A, B, and C, while Trial 2 uses module A, B, D, E, and F.Right now we have a generic user manual, so all trials get the same manual. I see that Intercom allows up to 30 help centers - we’re expecting to have more than 100 trials (and thus help centers) shortly. I cannot do this through Intercom's user attributes since the same user (say, a Doctor) could work on both Trial 1 and Trial 2 and would need to see different UM content based on which trial they are working on at the moment.Any suggestions?
I need to trigger an action within my application when the user either completes the survey or cancels it. Similar to how we currently initiate the survey (Intercom('startSurvey', XXXXX);), I require a comparable mechanism to execute a function upon survey completion or closure.Thank you.
I'm trying to reach intercom support. Their chat widget is only giving Portuguese or Spanish language options
Hi there, We are interested in defining a customer complaint form which users can search for in the help centre. Does anyone know if we can do this using OOTB functionality?Thanks, Rob
Hi, I am working on the design of the Intercom carrousels for our mobile application, my question is that it would be nice to be able to visualise our carrousel on mobile and iPad in the future before clicking on "Live".
One potential solution to bypass the confirmation prompt when clicking on Zendesk links is to adjust your browser settings. You can try disabling pop-up blockers or configuring. your browser to allow pop-ups from Zendesk specifically. Additionally, you might consider contacting Zendesk support for further assistance or to inquire if there are any settings within your Zendesk account that could help resolve this issue.
I am looking to make our FAQ in Notion link to the Intercom Help Center. Would it be possible for Intercom to a. create a article and publish it when a new database entry is made and b. for Intercom to update that article when the database entry is updated in Notion?
Hello,I would like to know if it is feasible to initialize conversation attributes when using the javascript SDK.I'm working on integrating the Intercom JavaScript SDK into an e-commerce platform. Our goal is to embed the Intercom messenger on the order confirmation page, so customers can inquire about their recent purchase without re-entering their order ID.We have tried to initialize custom parameters usingIntercom(‘update’, {...})However, this seems to only have an effect for People Attributes and not Conversation Attributes. We need to pass the order ID into the conversation context, as our support flow heavily relies on this information. Since a customer may have multiple orders, setting the order ID as a People attribute isn't a viable solution.Are there methods within the Intercom SDK to initialize conversation attributes directly, or a workaround that could suit this use case? We're open to alternative approaches if there's a more effective way to achieve this user experience.
Hi, I'm thinking about becoming an Intercom customer, but first, I need to ensure it meets my specific needs. I'm interested in the ability to trigger the Intercom chat pop-up at the corner of a web page based on custom events determined by the webpage's algorithm. Is this feasible? Essentially, I'd like the Intercom chat to appear whenever my algorithm dictates—this could be in response to a webhook from the server or any other custom logic. Can Intercom support this functionality? Is there some method like openChat() that just opens chat “with no questions”?
Phones:Hi there, our phone lines have been on for an hour, but we have no calls coming in, they all come in as abandoned. Agents are in the phone channel, and are all experiencing the same issue. The calls are not being assigned to any queue, and the abandoned conversations are ending up in the All queue.When customers call in/during testing we hear “Application error” and then it hangs up, and appear as abandoned, but end up in the unassigned queue.Our workflows look to be performing correctly and nothing has changed that we can detect, and phones worked normally yesterday.
Whenever we create a zendesk ticket in intercom and click the link to head there, we get this prompt now. It never happened before and it’s an annoyance. Any chance we can bypass this in a setting? Tried adding that to our trusted domains message list but that didn’t work.
I didn’t see a section for phone so posting here. We have a need to transfer a call to another phone number for another business unit. Use case: call comes in call answered realize it is for other business unit who do not use Intercom need to transfer to that phone numberWe don’t see a way to do this.I can transfer a call in a workflow, before it gets to the agent.Anyone solved this?Zendesk supports this.
