Fin Product Area

Hello, we have different pages / platform that provide information about different topics, and i would like to know if it’s possible to provide a preset context to Fin depending on where the user ask the question from ? It could be done by combining Fin with custom bot, but i don’t see any way to provide to Fin some context … is there a way to do so ? Thanks 

I am having trouble understanding how to use your transacitonal email. You make mention of examples in you blog post about sending order-related updates. But, I do not see an object as a trigger for sending email sequences. Heres an example:Beth has 2 orders for subscriptions. Each of the two orders has it's own unique expiration date and product associated with it. The two subscriptions expire 3 months apart - one on January 31, the other on April 15th. We want to send Beth an email 3 days before the expiration of each subscription.All i am seeing is attributes and events, but how/where do you maintain both of these orders if you only have dates or names for events, and only top-level attributes for a person?Seems we need ability to house an array of objects associated with a person, or to act on each object as a trigger for a sequence. Please give me in-depth detail on how to architect Intercom to let an expiration date on each of these two orders trigger their own email sequence, wi

Hi, we're trying to recreate the Intercom's Median First Response Time metric in our mission-critical company dashboard, and need an exact logic used for calculating this metric.  In particular: Do you exclude conversations without responses from the calculations (in 99% of cases, those are spam messages)If the first response is an auto-reply - does Intercom count the time before it, or do they only count the time before a real person’s response?Reports in Intercom have time frames. Does Intercom count conversations that started before the chosen period but got their response within a selected period? Is the median first response calculated only for the closed conversations?Why is there a discrepancy in the time reports? (See below) Advice on this would be highly appreciated.

I've attempted to embed a video and a gif in email messages that are part of a series but have not found success. I copy and embed HTML code from the original video and gif site and then paste. I then paste that code into the message using the "Insert HTML" option. Unfortunately, nothing seems to work. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated!

Hello, I have a problem with Intercom 12 and 15.I have a problem under certain conditions when using the Intercom iOS SDK: when I try to open a conversation from the Intercom conversation list, the application starts crashing with an error.I updated the SDK version to 15 and it crashed with the same error.The application is launching the messenger with `[Intercom presentMessageComposer:@""]`. Are you aware of these problems and can you suggest a solution? Xcode version 14.3 (Objective-C)Intercom iOS SDK version 12.4.3 / 15.0.0 ↓Crashing patterniPhone Xs iOS version 16.5iPhone 12 iOS version 16.5 ↓Patterns that do not crashiPhone 7 iOS version 15.0iPhone Xr iOS version 16.3.1iPhone 12 mini iOS version 15.4.1 Errors:Fatal Exception: NSInternalInconsistencyException Invalid batch updates detected: the number of sections and/or items returned by the data source before and/or after performing the batch updates are Data source before updates = { 1 section with item counts: [1] } Data source

I want to open an intercom messenger in the product without use clicking on the messenger icon.  For example, I want to add a link in a product tour that says "Contact us", which opens a messenger window when user clicks it.

We need some way to include throttling for our messaging. I want to be able to set up posts and chats that don’t have an end date, but I fear that someone could log in for the first time in a while and get three messages at once. I wish I could prioritize messages so I knew that they would only get one at a time.  (This would be for things that don’t go together in a series)

Hi all,I’m looking for a way to mass close open conversations. For example, close 1 week or older open conversations. If it’s possible, please share how can I do it. Thank you!  

3 days before the free trial ends, we send users a payment warning telling them we'll charge their credit card.  People who unsubscribe from our mkt emails don't get this warning. That's a big deal.  How can we send emails even if users unsubscribed? The audience rule "Unsubscribed from Emails is true" gives 0 users :-|    Thanks!

Hi all,I’ve followed the online guide and tried to launch the messenger from a button on a web page, but it fails to do anything. It’s 2 lines of code - how hard can it be?!Debugging in Chrome, the button click makes no calls at all. If I click the standard Messenger icon everything works fine.All help much appreciated!Button code:<a id="open_web_chat" class="btn btn-sm btn-primary lift w-75">Chat Now</a>Script before </body>:<script>window.intercomSettings = {api_base: "https://api-iam.intercom.io",app_id: "XXXXXX",custom_launcher_selector:'open_web_chat'};</script>

Any idea why my video would not show up when I embed it and set it live? Works and previews fine in my draft version.

If we change a URL on an existing article, will it automatically redirect to the new URL or is there something manual we need to do?

Once I create my product tour, I cannot makes content/word edits, because there is no save button! It might be because I have it pointing at an element to click, so once I select that step, it pushes to the next page, not allowing me to “save” my edits on that step. Can I suggest a “save and continue” button to capture that pages changes?

Hi there,I am building a Product Tour that walks users through a multi-step form. I have certain optional fields that I want the user to be able to fill, but not obliged to fill, e.g. Apartment/Suite/Building # for address.If I set the step to Next or Done button, they can’t fill in the field.If I set the step to Fill in the Field, they must fill in the field.How can I manage this use-case?Thanks,Peter

Hi - we offer a free tool that assigns a unique download URL for the prospect that stores in a field in Salesforce. I’d like to be able to match the lead in the chat by email and then pull their download URL for them from their record in Salesforce. What’s the best way to achieve this? We have the field syncing from Salesforce to Intercom currently but not sure how to pull the information into the conversation once they provide their email. TIA!

Hi there, I have a single page app. I’m having some issues being able to set up series or subsequent events on the same page.The behavior I want:Welcome post Dismiss or click a link in the post Launch a product tour on the same page without any other interaction. I’ve tried two ways:Launch post and then product tour in the same series. The issue that I’m having is that when I dismiss the post, the product tour does not launch without a page refresh. (The post AND the product tour is on the same page). Launch post, click a link in the post to a the product tour (show tour anywhere link) or insert the product tour directly (displays the product tour name and description with a link).  The issue that I’m having here is that when the user completes the product tour, the post pops back up.  Is there something I’m missing here?Why won’t the product tour launch without a page refresh? Why doesn’t Intercom treat a link click as a dismiss? Or is there a way to do this? I’ve tried tagging and h

Message goals should be able to target segments or allow for the same filtering and/or options used to build segments. Limiting users to just one binary goal creates a lot of bad reporting for us. Has anyone found a way around this?

Hi can I use a custom action and/or custom object in a series (not in a bot).  ex.  I would like to send an email after fetching data from an external API using a GET request.  This action will be triggered by the user’s place in the series, NOT by them sending a message to us.

Hi,We work on Android Native with Intercom version 12.4.2.implementation 'io.intercom.android:intercom-sdk-base:12.4.2'We received the app crashes on our Play Console. The error message was:Please help us provide the suggestion for this issue.Thanks

Hi,Is it possible to detect the Messenger was dismissed on iOS, so that we can call another method right after the user is back to our app?

Hey!1 - When an article is unavailable in a certain language, a default message appears.Can this message either be edited (e.g. adding “Try searching with English or another language set as your Help Center language”), or could there automatically be suggested direct links to this article in other languages if available?2 - When users use the search bar with keywords in their native language (e.g. German), but the help center is set in another language (e.g. English), it can happen that they will not see search results, even though there is content available if they searched with the right language set.One workaround that we think about is to add placeholder articles catching the most common keywords, then forwarding to the right version from there – but: not scaleable, lots of manual work.Instead: Could Intercom suggest that there are no results for this search in the current language, but there are in another language?What are possible other workarounds?Looking forward for ideas &amp

So, my requirement is that I want to start a series for a user when a tag is added to them. Let’s say I add the tag user-email-not-verified, and they get added to a series (which will walk them through the steps to verify their email) However, I’ve not been able to figure out how to do it yet without using events. Can anyone please help. 

We would like to send transactional emails using your Visual Email Template editor, but include attachments (like say an invoice) to the Email? Is this something that you support either via your web application or API?I know that we can add a file to the editor but we need a way to attach a PDF file we generate on the fly.

Our company has a platform that multiple clients are using. The websites they have are the same for UI elements and functions, but each client has a different URL. We want to realise product tours and checklist once and apply them across different tenant (clients with different URL). Is this possible?
