I have 16,000 conversations which originated from emails being forwarded to Intercom. I’m looking for an easy way of closing all these messages. I’ve tried creating a workflow to close messages, but this seems to only apply to new messages coming in, and is not retrospective.Due to the large number of messages, it’s not practical to hover and highlight or click them one by one.
We need to know if its possible with eg a switch to decide not to send the reply with whole conversation by email in some occations?Eg if the answer I am going to provide is including sensitive data / GDPR stuff I want to “check a box” for the reply only to be visible when logged in and reading in the messenger and not to included in the email notification. As in “read the answer here when logged in”. All other messages can be includes, as ordinary support answers.I could find there is a general setting to either turn it on or off but the question here is if its possible with a switch in every conversation/ticket to turn it off just per message?https://www.intercom.com/help/en/articles/3527623-sending-email-notifications-without-conversation-content-or-history
The messenger application loads and sometimes it doesn't. After loading, if I try send a message it fails and loads back the intercom home screen and is unable to open the past chats. Saw that the POST conversation API is getting a 404 error. Please do help as this is happening in my production shopify store.
Is there any way to prevent the bot from interfering in a conversation that is already being answered by a teammate?
When using Intercom, I have often seen the icons of my teammates who are viewing the live chat conversation with a customer. However, this has since disappeared and I am not sure why.
With surveys is there any way to get them to work well on mobile devices when they are large format?Here attached from Intercom is what the survey is suggested to look like on mobile view, which I presume is if you’ve done the work with SDK’s to make the survey push on an app.It looks pretty tidy!Mobile view from Intercom survey previewBelow is an actual image of the same survey in real life on a standard Android phone. It doesn’t look as good, and on even smaller mobile devices some of the survey can’t even be read without scrolling _horizontally_ :| I am guessing it’s because it’s a mobile device accessing a web app and not an actual mobile app. Is this a correct assumption?Secondly, is there any way to get the formatting to scale better on mobile. Something to match what’s shown in Intercom’s preview would be great. Any other suggestions I’d welcome too!
Hello! Looking for a bit of advice. Our team has a lower inbox volume (around 40 a day) and the inbox is usually 60% email and 40% chat. At the moment, any messages that come in we close after our response and only snooze conversations that need a follow up at a later time. This has helped us keep a clean inbox that is easy to see what conversations need to be attended to. However, this causes some problems when we want to track CSAT and time to close, so we are looking to change how we are working in Intercom. I know there are automations you can set up that will automatically respond to chats if they customer has not followed ups but I am more concerned that we will have tons of emails re-opening that will create more work for us manually to follow up with customers since emails are our main channel for conversations. As well, if I do set an auto-reply when a conversation re-opens - what is there are conversations that shouldn’t get that auto-reply. Do you tag them a specific way? Cu
Occasionally when editing existing content we will merge two articles, deleting the first old article and merging its content with the second article (thus the first URL becomes invalid/is deleted). The problem is, we sometimes link to the articles from other sources, and customers following the old URL find a dead page. Is there any way to create a redirect so we can consciously tell Intercom to send customers to the new URL?
Hi,I just wanted to know how other users get written feedback for their articles.In the past we did have the option enabled where clicking 😞 started a chat. However we had to disable this because it acted as a backdoor for some to come straight through to support, skipping custom bots, and allowing users to start a chat that we wouldn’t want to be able to start a chat.It was also an issue because our articles are not maintained by the same people who answer our chat queries. Ideally it would be great if users clicking a reaction on the article were then provided a comment box. Whatever they submit would then appear as a section in the editor view, and you could then scroll through all written feedback, and also see who had left it (like you can when you view who reacted to an article). However this is just what I’d like to happen. I would be curious to know how others try to get written feedback for their guides so they can improve them, rather than just having to guess based on rea
Hi! I’m wondering how I would set a goal up to capture total signs ups after sending an email.
As we can track and analyze clicked links in Posts and Mails, can we do that in articles too?If we can’t, is there any way using other third-party tools?
When I am creating a post I will use a URL, but we are offering an additional benefit to our existing customers - as this is something that we want our team to get on quickly is it possible to receive notifications through email which tells us who it was that clicked the link in real-time?
Hi, a a product tour I built is only showing after page refresh. I added a “wait 3 seconds” rule to see if there needs to be a delay but that didn’t help. I’ve seen in another question that selecting an element “by text” may be a better option but I’m not seeing that option anywhere.
It would be good to be able to choose which logic to apply in terms of company, for the users with multiples companiesRight now, the logic is: if there is at least one company that matches, the rule, then the rule will be applied.It would be good to be able to have the possibility to choose the option: if at least one company does not match, then do not apply the rule
Hi all - I have noticed that if I set a post live whilst I am already logged in (and have my account in the targeted tag) I will sometimes not receive the post until I log out. In my industry that is a big regulatory issue, so I was wondering how I prevented any user from being able to see the post when logged out?
Is there a way to grant access to a third party vendor to analyze all our transcripts? I can see how they can be download easily from a team member but is there a way to grants access to a separate party to go in and download or analyze all transcripts from the last two years?
Hello there,I’m trying to replicate what I was able to do with our previous email and automation provider.I used to be able to pre-populate our JotForms with data from ActiveCampaign by linking the form field data with the attributes via a URL. This meant that when a contact would open the email and click the link, the form would automatically populate with their unique data, and so we’d be able to attribute submissions to users without having to rely on them adding the exact email address they use to sign up to our service.I’ve tried using the same logic for Intercom in the URL below, but so far I’ve not been successful. Please say I’m missing something obvious! This is the URL I’ve implemented in an Intercom CTA linkAnd unfortunately here you can see that it’s not had the desired effect - the data isn’t being pulled from Intercom
HI. can we see when an outbound chat message was read by the user? We send out important info that sometimes the customer says they didn't see, yet the message shows as seen. Can i tell when that message was read? Not after last seen info. Thanks.
Hello everyone, we are configuring our inbox rule in the Intercom and want to implement the following:1.When the ticket is created, if there is still no first response for 5 minutes, then the agent will be alerted (pop-up notifications or sent an email).2.If a ticket remains unresolved for 4h, the Leader will be alerted (pop-up notifications or sent an email). But we are now experiencing some blocking and we don't know how to pop up a notificatoin or send an email through the workflow or inbox rule. Any recommendations? Thank you!

Hi all,I’m using an event tracking to trigger a survey from code:window.Intercom('trackEvent', 'open-survey')I have set up the survey to trigger on this event, and it works fine.What I want to do is to keep sending the survey till they actually complete it.I have to collect responses and I’d like to force them to actually respond (not only dismissing the survey but completing it). How could I achieve that? Is there anything I’m misunderstanding here?Thanks in advance
Hi There,I am trying to connect our Sales Team with our Customer Support Team, the idea is to triage customers that are slipping away in their first 7 and 14 days - Purpose - Sales team working with leads in Hubspot who are not reponding to attempts to contactAim - Customer Support in Intercom is able to set up an automation for the customer in the meessenger which will ask them to reach out to us ad book a meeting using Hubspot Calendar or Calednly and then we can continue the onboardingResult - that the link between Hubspot and Intercom is able to trigger this automation on a user by user basis Has anyone got a solution to this problem, I think that we need some link from Hubspot that pushes the automation to the audience we want - but I haven’t seen anything like this available?

Hi, is there a way to preview live without having to duplicate the product tours so many times or creating multiple profiles? For example a way I can find myself as a user and just delete the user info each time so that I can continue testing?
