Helpdesk

Our Intercom account, which we use for managing tickets and other tasks, has expired. This has made it difficult for us to create a video using the same account. Since this account is also linked to our developer account with the same email, we would like to explore possible solutions.Could you please let us know if there is an alternative option available or if we can downgrade our plan while still being able to create the video using the same account? Your guidance on this would be greatly appreciated. We would like to proceed with transferring the app ownership to the developer workspace. We’ve been waiting for your response over the past two weeks, and this transfer is important for us to move forward with our integration, which is currently pending.We’d really appreciate it if you could prioritize this request and initiate the transfer as soon as possible

We are a startup business using Intercom for Customer Support. We received approximately 4K-5K conversations monthly. One of our main challenges is how to easily track and understand the reason why users are reaching out to our Support team. I’ve read about conversation tagging, conversation topics, and conversation attributes, but it doesn’t seem to be a perfect solution, or maybe I just can’t completely comprehend how to adapt them to our business. Do I need to use all of them together? Do we need integration with another tool or software? The end goal is to be able to convey to our product team our user's sentiments. Can someone please lend a helping hand?

How can conversation data, along with bulk attachments, be exported from the Help Desk?

We were able to setup Intercom using @intercom/intercom-react-native library on iOS and Android, but we’ve some questions for Android push notifications.We added the drawable icon and it’s being used but the icon used in the notification is different. Is there a way to change it? Do you know why Intercom’s notifications are not grouped with the notifications of my application? 

What best practices/workarounds are out there for enforcing ticket tagging in Intercom before close? I saw the topic on 'Topics' but we are highly ingrained in Conversation Tags and need to require them before a conversation can be closed. It appears in Inbox rules that conversation tags aren't an option, only person or company tags which is not helpful for this problem.

Why does intercom not allow level hierarchy in tagging conversations?

In my workspace, we sometimes have some chats that go the Unassigned bin and we'd like the ability to have Round Robin apply to these chats we send over to another team for action.  Ideally, once it is assigned to the desired team (this team uses Round Robin), that inbox rule will apply to the previously Unassigned chat and assign it to someone who's online at that time. Has anyone ever had any luck in doing this?

When I make an outbound call, it adds me as a contact in the client profile. Here are the steps:select a contact in intercom start a new conversation click the plus button in the top left corner to select phone call as the type of commsWhen I return to the page showing contacts, I then am added as a contact for the business. Client data is synced from Salesforce. So  typically if I dial out with a number that we don’t have in SF this is where we’re seeing me being added as a contact.

Our team will use the Notes function to add details to some conversations. For example, they'll add a link to a Shortcut ticket if they escalated the issue to another team. We would like to quickly identify/surface these notes for quick action when following up.

To give you a better context, we have 4 brands across some of our markets within Europe and the Americas.Now, one of the Brands is present is all these countries, which for each individual market we have had to create a separate Brand on Intercom, associated to a Help Centre, linked to an email address, etc.Would be great to have a way to keep them organized, having one brand and branches if the brand has presence in one or more countries, this to help us keep it organized, since we are currently moving and growing, giving presence of our brands in other markets. Any suggestions are always welcome!

Hi, I have already read your support articles regarding not receiving push notifications on Android and have executed everything suggested, but I am still not receiving push notifications when we receive tickets or answers in our Intercom inbox. The message settings and app permissions have been set correctly, I have disabled battery stamina mode completely, I have manually indicated that there should be no battery restrictions on the app and I have installed ‘AutoStart Manager’ and I have added the app.But I still do not receive push notifications.I have a Android version 14 installed and my handset is a Sony Xperia 10 IV XQ-CC54.Can you help please?

We’re currently building out a new onboarding program for our customer support team, and we would really like to integrate test ticketing/conversations as a module to the program. I’m curious if anyone else has tackled this kind of project before and has advice on the best way to implement this with Intercom?I’ve previously worked on Zendesk, where we had a script to import our base test tickets and assign to each of our new hires, who would then work the tickets as normal w/ training & mentors acting as customers.With Intercom, I’m hoping there’s a similar functionality we can achieve with conversations, though I haven’t been able to find a solid solution. Seems like we could potentially setup a specific inbox and use emails in our prod instance, but curious if anyone has come up with a different/better solution to achieve this. 

When we (german-based company) use a ticket attribute with da date value, the ticket events record a different time. In the summer time, the time difference is +2 hours and in winter time +1 hour as Intercom treats everything as GMT. So when we record appointments in a ticket attribute, it will always be wrong for our time zone. Also, we wanted to snooze ticket according to the timestamp in a ticket attribut. That results in the same incorrect time and is really confusing. It would be really helpful if this would be fixed.

I am using intercom version 15.15.0 but most of the time it crash with the 2 different types of error .please find error logs below  java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: no paragraph (layoutCache=ParagraphLayoutCache(paragraph=null, lastDensity=InlineDensity(density=2.8125, fontScale=1.0)), textSubstitution=null)                                                                                                        at androidx.compose.foundation.text.modifiers.TextStringSimpleNode.draw(TextStringSimpleNode.kt:418)                                                                                                        at androidx.compose.ui.node.LayoutNodeDrawScope.drawDirect-eZhPAX0$ui_release(LayoutNodeDrawScope.kt:110)                                                                                                        at androidx.compose.ui.node.LayoutNodeDrawScope.draw-eZhPAX0$ui_release(LayoutNodeDrawScope.kt:89)                                                                       

Hello I have been experiencing an issue where some of my Intercom messages get stuck in the “Sending” status and don’t get delivered to the recipient. This seems to happen randomly some messages go through instantly; while others just stay pending indefinitely. Refreshing the page doesn’t help & I’ve already checked my internet connection.🙂I have tried logging out and back in, clearing the cache, and even testing on a different browser, but the problem persists.  🤔I’m wondering if this could be a temporary server issue / something related to message queue handling. Has anyone else faced this? Are there any troubleshooting steps I might be missing?🤔Checked https://community.intercom.com/conversations-9/Alteryx Training guide related to this and found it quite informative. Would love to hear if others have encountered this and found a fix. Also, is there a way to manually retry sending stuck messages instead of rewriting them? Any insights would be appreciated!  Thank you !!🙂

Hello. I work for a company that uses Intercom to organize our client interactions. We are in the process of starting a second company. The same customer service team will be working for both companies for the foreseeable future. Is there a way to partition a single intercom account into two inboxes (one for each company)? Thanks!

After ending a chat, is there a way to loop in or cc an external email to the conversation without changing the conversation to a ticket?

Since one of the few ways a Lite user can see a conversation is via link and to make it easy within a CX team to share conversation URLs without having to mention everyone, I’d like to suggest an option in the upper conversation tool bar to grab a shortened URL for that conversation. We had this in Richpanel, and it made it super easy to quickly grab a link to the conversation for easy sharing. 

Hi team, Is there a way to create an auto reply only after business hours?

Our CX team sends outbound emails often and will continue to do so when we transition to intercom (in the migration phase now).We don’t see a way to edit subject lines for outbound emails - which is vital to our operations. Is this possible? If so, how can we do this? Has anyone else run into this issue?

I have integrated intercom to our expo app. For iOS devices it’s working great but for android its not working and when we hit “Intercom.present()” it does open the sheet but in that we are getting “Something’s gone wrong Content could not be loaded”.I have added all the required permissions. For loginUserWithUserAttributes getting error : Error: ERROR - [HTTP 403] - Android SDK Messenger API is disabled for this workspaceIntercom.loginUserWithUserAttributes({email: email,userId: data?.data?.userId,name: data?.data?.username,}) 

Hi there! Is there a way to ensure that a tracker/group ticket link is visible in all future conversations with the same user on Intercom? I can see that detail only in the first conversation which got linked, but it’s not visible in subsequent ones. This leads to duplicate users being added to the ticket, impacting reports. It would be very helpful if, once a user’s conversation is linked to a tracker ticket, that linkage attribute appears in every future chat with the same user. This should be automatic. I’ve reviewed the attributes information but still don’t understand if and how this can be set up automatically.  Any help will be grateful.  Thank you so much! 

We’re having an issue where customers send us emails that are wider than the intercom email UI so they are cut off and the team is unable to read them. Our workaround is to either copy and paste the message into a different tab (like a Google doc) or reply CCing in our personal work address so we can view the email in gmail. Neither are great solutions.  It would be great if either emails were consistently resized appropriately or (for things we wouldn’t want to make artificially narrow like tables, which we get from customers frequently) we could “pop out” a message and make it whatever width we need in a pop-out window.

We have several customers that often refer back to historical ticket data and it would be massively beneficial if there was a way for them to continue to search for historical tickets. The reason for this is because the way many of our customers are structured are Tiered entities. Basically, users in the Parent Company have visibility into the Child Companies beneath them that have their own users. These Parent Company users need to have visibility into all tickets so that they are aware of the issues their Child Company Users are facing.

I often find myself writing part of an email, which I then don’t want to send anyway. When I then want to write another message, the old message, the receiver, and the subject is still there. Is there a way to “abandon” message creation that deletes the message I’ve written + subject + receiver?
