How long does it take to get a response from Intercom support typically? I reached out to the chat bot with an urgent issue, and it said someone would look at it within a day. It’s been over 24 hours now with 0 response. The chat tells me, helpfully, that my message is “Not seen yet.” Is there some other way I’m supposed to get support?
I see that the base plan includes 1,000 guided users using our product tours. But what happens when we exceed 1,000? I can’t seem to find any pricing information around what it looks like at 2,000, 5,000 or 10,000 guided users in a month?
Hi folks, I want to submit the sitemap for my Articles to Google, where is this? I presume it exists? Thanks,Tom
I’ve been creating emails with dynamic variables but only seeing People Attributes and App/Author Attributes + Events. But I can’t seem to find a way to add something like:© {{ current_year }} My Company Inc.On the end of my email templates. Is this possible to do? Thank you for your help.
Platform - Mobile app flutterWe identified some key drops off points during our onboarding and planning to trigger chat or carousel when the user spends around 1 minute in that checkpoint.Alternatively if the user left the app , we need to send a push notification from intercom to re-engage them during the onboarding. For this we are trying out Series in Intercom ,We configured it to open a carousal when the user visits a page (eg - settings page) It worked perfectly. But when we introduced a wait block for 1 minute we didn’t get the carousal. We waited for 1 minute and the carousal did not open. Link to the series we created I have found out in the community post that even though we put it as 1 minute the next block will be executed every 15 minutes and thats why the delay is. So our requirement is like this , if a user stays in a page for more than 1 minute we have to trigger the carousal or chat to offer them help.
Hi, Is there a way to find the ticket type ID from the Intercom platform? I.e. not needing to use the API? I need this ticket type ID to trigger the showTicket method. I’m still quite new to the platform so apologies if I have my terminology incorrect.
I am currently developing a Flutter-based application and have integrated Intercom to provide customer support. Our team has encountered a specific requirement where we need to offer proactive assistance to users who spend more than a minute on a particular page, potentially indicating they are facing difficulties. We identified Intercom's proactive support feature as a solution, but it requires setting up a time delay based on user navigation routes.However, we are facing challenges in implementing this within the Flutter environment. Our initial attempts involved using events to track user time on pages, but this method hasn't yielded the desired results.I am reaching out to the community for insights or suggestions on how to effectively implement this feature in Flutter. Is there a way to track the current page a user is on, along with the duration of their stay on that page, using Intercom's features or any alternative methods? Any guidance or advice on this matter would be greatly
Google Bard suggests that the presence of “X BeenThere” header, even though it’s deprecated, signals to email systems that the message is looped. Is there an effective way to tell Intercom to ignore this header and allow email through?
I need to give support to the user by opening intercom chat if they are staying on a page for a minimum of 2 min. How can I do this using the intercom.We have a flutter app.
Hi there, I'm hoping to find a way in my web app to insert a link that could open the Messenger directly to a specific Collection of help articles. We're hoping to draw attention to a category of resources without forcing the user to open a new tab. Does anyone know if this is possible? Thanks!
How would I manually update a contact’s avatar? We cannot send the profile picture from our website/user accounts to Intercom. Does anyone know of a more manual way to do this? Examples would be if there were a way to add a Linkedin link that would parser the profile image link from there and post it to their Intercom contact page. I use Popl and it can automatically scrape information from the web to autofill contact cards, and I am trying to find something like that. I am also trying to make this with Zapier but for some reason I can’t find the correct attribute key to use for the avatar itself.
What are the most effective methods or tools for training FIN to conduct context-aware or context-driven conversational AI? Is it Workflow or a combination of snippets and articles? Is there a resource one can read to perfect the interplay between these tools?Is it possible to have FIN adjust its responses based on the user queries and preferences, providing a more customized and contextually relevant experience for the user?Example scenario:User: What are the best attractions in Paris?AI: The Eiffel Tower, the Louvre Museum, and Notre Dame Cathedral are popular choices.User: Can you recommend a good place to eat near the Louvre?AI: Certainly, there are several restaurants near the Louvre. Would you prefer French cuisine or something else?User: I would like to try authentic French cuisine.AI: In that case, you might enjoy 'Le Café des Musées' or 'Les Fines Gueules', both of which offer authentic French dishes and are within walking distance of the Louvre Museum.
let’s say the user left from the page 1 during the onboarding. Can I re-engage with them after 10 min using Mobile push(or any other outbound option) and direct to the page from where they left? Can I get a trigger after 10 min or create an automation rule for this scenario?
How do we turn off the chatbot content from auto syncing? It appears to be doing it every week.The situation for us is that we temporarily set our confluence wiki to public for initial import, to get thousands of content into the system, then we set it back to private. This works great to get all our content into the chatbot. But when it attempts to resync a week later, it all fails and all the content is now rendered useless. I’m sure their must be a setting somewhere to turn off each managed source from auto syncing, or at least change the frequency to something like 1 year. But we can’t seem to find the setting, and FIN doesn't seem to know. Perhaps maybe it has to be done on the back end. It seems like the most basic use case to just not sync imported content, so I’m hoping there is a toggle somewhere that I’m missing. If not, then we’re pretty blocked from going to production and upgrading to the pro plan, as it takes hours to reimport the content, and we can’t do that over an
I've created an inline banner, which should be placed above my site's content, but it's overlapping it. How do I fix this?
We’d like to goal our agents on email first response times - but measuring the time from when a case is first assigned to the agent and when they respond, rather than from when the customer first emailed and the agent responded.Example: A customer emails us. 2 hours pass before an agent is assigned the case. The agent then responds an hour later. For measuring the agent’s performance, we’d want to capture the 1 hour difference between assignment and the agent’s first response to the customer, rather than the 3 hours between when the customer first reached out and the agent first responded back.Basically, we want to goal our agents based on what’s in their control. We are also tracking the overall First Response Time because at the end of the day that’s the customer’s experience- but we’re treating this as a team level metric influenced by things like staffing levels, product issues and the like - many things outside of an individual agent’s control.Is this possible? How would we
Hi, we have been sending push messages to our customers for months using Intercom. We made no changes to our iOS app or certificates but are now getting a 400 MissingTopic error on all of our push messages to iOS users. Is this something that has changed internally with Intercom or the SDK? Thanks,Maanit

Hello Intercom Community,I'm looking for insights or suggestions on how to effectively track conversations with clients who have just completed their onboarding. We use HubSpot for onboarding, and it's synced with Intercom. When onboarding is done, the status in HubSpot is updated to "done", and the end date is set.Our challenge is finding a way to filter and view these specific clients conversations in Intercom. This data is crucial for us as we're developing a new onboarding flow and need to establish baseline KPIs.Does anyone have experience or tips on how to achieve this within Intercom, or perhaps through a workaround? Any advice or examples of how you might be tracking similar data would be greatly appreciated.Thanks in advance!
Upon reviewing all customer tickets, I noticed that customers can detect when we've seen or read their messages. Is there a way to disable this notification?Thank you for any help you can provide.
I am using a workflow to sent a CSAT rating request after the conversation has been closed. Every time a customer is responding to channels (Facebook & Instagram) that they have to send a message, the chat is reopening. Then when we close them again, it send them the CSAT rating request again. Has anyone found a work around this, or is there something that I am missing? Thanks in advance,Brandon

I’m finding that with the Salesforce Create Case Workflow I don’t get any type of confirmation if my case has be created. Ideally, the user would get some type of message confirming the case has been created and a link to their case. Has anyone achieved this?
Product Tours “work on desktop only. It doesn't currently work on mobile devices (including tablets) in the browser or in mobile apps.” So we had to implement Post messages for our webapp mobile users in order to support their onboarding with videos.I want to allow our mobile users to view an onboarding video in a vertical 9:16 format, however I am unable so far to find the right solution:I tried inserting the video in my Post, but it’s displayed in a small size like a snippet of the original video. Also, I cannot hide the sender and the video is played by default without sound (with the button to unmute not very visible), Then I tried embedding a YouTube video. This seemed to work since the play button allowed it to be played with volume and opened in YouTube if helpful for a better view. However it is shown on a wide view instead of the vertical (9:16 view).Can I embed a "Short" YouTube video to be displayed vertically?Any suggestion to show a vertical video on a post?Should I try a
