Hi,We find the Spam/Junk filter in Intercom pretty poor - it’s send a lot of genuine emails there, including inbound emails from email address we have in our Contacts list and ones we have repeatedly marked as “Not Junk” in the Spam list.However, it’s not learning, and they keep getting flagged as junk.Is there a way to either:mark an email address as a safe sender/whitelist, so those inbound emails don’t go to our spam filter? If not a built in setting, can it be done with automations/rules? OR turn off the spam filter altogether (we use Google’s Mail Servers and their spam filter does a much better job and keeps spam from getting to Intercom anyway) (again, if not built in, can it be done with automations/rules?)CheersRob

 We trialed a recommended app from the Intercom app store called "Bump" by Userfeed.  An app that allows you to automate the follow-up and closing process of unresponsive customers. We used this App because the built-in snoozing/closing function in Intercom did not fit our needs. We loved it during our trial, set up automation and workflows around the apps' functionality. We regularly have around 30 conversations in the queue, and after a couple of days we knew we were going to purchase the app. So, I reached out to their support ready and willing to purchase. I searched high and low contacting everyone involved with the company and product, and nothing is active, and you cannot purchase the app. So, first, I would recommend removing this app, as it's no longer being supported, and you cannot use it after the trial. This was unfortunate for us. A lot of time wasted, and it's something we REALLY liked. Are there any alternatives on the Intercom app store? I can’t seem to find anything l

Wonder if we can support conversation attributes creation and update through API. At the same time, can we remove the limit of 250 options for conversation attributes?

Hi I’m looking for a way of adding many sites to the company data field. We currently deal with large companies that have many sites across many countries. Is there a way of putting this into the company data fields as it seems like this currently only likes one answer.For instance company “A” has a head office in London but has 20 other locations they operate out of each requiring there own support. So company fields will ideally have these attributes:name- Company Alocation (this needs to be able to take multiple locations) - Liverpool, London, Manchester etc only need one answer per ticket.Territory (this needs to be multiple different countries) UK, Ireland, Switzerland etc. Again this only needs one answer per ticket.If this cant be achieved what would be the best way around this?

I want to add a view where where we I can see the conversations where we are waiting for customer to reply.

Is Live chat currently down?

Hello,I am experiencing an issue with the Intercom integration on Android. When I receive a message, the method "Intercom.client().getUnreadConversationCount()" does not reflect the new messages. For this function to work correctly, I need to restart the Android application.Do you have any suggestions for resolving this issue?

Hi, is anyone else having the problem where tags sometimes don’t appear in the conversation? The conversation events show that the tag is applied, the tag is active, and it ends up in the right views, but we can’t see the tag in the conversation itself. This means we can’t remove tags when needed, causing conversations to remain in specific views even though we want them out.So far, we’re manually tracking each conversation where a tag needs to be removed. I can’t wait for the day this issue is finally resolved, though I expect we’ll still have about ten days of work to undo the damage by then.We contacted Intercom's support department at the beginning of June(!), and they acknowledged the issue, promising to resolve it as soon as possible. I guess it's not a major issue for them, but it has a significant impact on us. We've followed up every few weeks, but we keep receiving the same response. I’d be very surprised if we were the only company facing this issue—are others out there expe

I’m trying to extract ticket reports in Reports tab but after extraction the data shows only 1 row data.

Providing a Subject heading on each Message after the Conversation is closed.That way, users can see the subject and refer back to their conversations by topic.

Hi!I am oftenly using Intercom while browsing other Chrome tabs.When I am focused on one issue, and focused on another tab opened to find a solution to it, I find it very distracting to have the intercom tab name switching non-stop to tell me about notification from other conversations. The name of the tab moves every 10 seconds from the name of the open conversation to notification about other messages coming in. Is there a way to block it? I do not have preferences on what appears as the name of the tab, for as long as it stays still. NB : setting my status as away does not work. Thanks a lot for your help.   

Hey, are we facing instabilities?  I raised on chat but no replies on this We send the tickets on intercom and they notify on slack, which was fine, but now the notification is taking 2 hours to go. Can someone please help? Thanks! 

Hi Intercom Community,I need help understanding a couple of things about  "Next Response Time" (NRT): How is NRT calculated? Is it based on each customer message and team response after the initial reply, and how does Intercom determine if it's "hit" or "missed"? Can I calculate NRT from the API? I don't see specific fields in the conversation object for NRT. Is there a way to derive it from available data (like time_to_admin_reply or median_time_to_reply)? Any insights on tracking NRT via the API or understanding the SLA logic would be greatly appreciated!Thanks,

We are seeing an increase of conversations that are not tagged, but i cannot see to find any reason to why this keeps happening. Nor do i have insight to why in the FAQ. Any tips?

Hello there, Is there any outage on Intercom today, it doesn't seems to work. Please help! Best Regards,

Hi! I’ve been having trouble with our help desk because conversations automatically reopen when adding a note for a teammate. Is there a way we can leave notes for each other without reopening a conversation every time?Thanks!

Our team currently uses PowerDialer AI for sales outreach, and I've recently learned about its integration capabilities with Intercom. I'm interested in hearing from those who have experience with a Dialer + Intercom integration.I'm particularly curious about the effectiveness of syncing call data, automating follow-ups, and managing customer interactions through Intercom when integrated with a Power Dialer. Any insights on potential challenges or tips for optimizing the workflow between these two platforms would be valuable.If you've implemented this integration or have relevant experience, I would appreciate your thoughts and recommendations. Your input could significantly help in evaluating and potentially improving our current processes.

Now with default settings intercom send notification about each action status change in the system.Any way to reduce the number? send notifications only on some statuses changes?or maybe there is option to disable notifications but somhow share with customer ticket number ?

When opening the keyboard to type into an Intercom messenger convo, the keyboard is hiding the text entry, making it impossible for users to see what they’re typing. Has anyone found a workaround?

Is there any way to set up a process so that when a back-office ticket is set to “Resolved”, the linked conversation is automatically re-opened? Ideally, I would also like for that conversation to be re-assigned if the original assignee is set to Away & Reassigning, if possible. So the flow is:Agent speaks to customer Agent escalates issue to internal team by raising a back-office ticket Agent informs customer and closes conversation Back-office ticket is changed to “Resolved” and closed Original conversation is automatically re-opened so that the agent can inform the customer If that agent is no longer available, the conversation goes back into the queue and is assigned to the next available agent

Hi there! I’d been debugging an issue with our React Native app’s implementation of the `loginUnidentifiedUser` + `loginUserWithUserAttributes` combo, and noticed that while the Android module has a few descriptive cases before being generically handled by `IntercomError.getErrorMessage()`, the iOS module simply throws a blanket error for all failures.Is there a reason why actual request errors aren’t being bubbled up through these methods? For example, if the login failed due to the Identity Verification check, I feel like it would be reasonable to include that and the related code in the failure callback.

If a customer says ‘Hi Sarah’ I want it to automatically get assigned to Sarah. However, I ALSO want it to be assigned to sales so that sales is credited for the response in the data tracking.
