Hi everyone,I’m Darshan Hiranandani, need help with setting up multiple inbound email addresses in Intercom for different support teams. We have two teams, one for French-speaking clients and another for German-speaking clients, and each team has its own email address:france-support@company.com (for France) germany-support@company.com (for Germany)Currently, we forward emails sent to germany-support@company.com to Intercom's default inbound address, and everything works fine. The email creates a new chat in the German support team's inbox.However, we want the same setup for the French support team. Ideally, we want the following behavior:If a client in France sends an email to france-support@company.com, it creates a new chat in the French support team's inbox in Intercom. If a client in Germany sends an email to germany-support@company.com, it creates a new chat in the German support team's inbox in Intercom.I’m wondering if it’s possible to create separate inbound email addresses for

Hi Team,I’m Darshan Hiranandani, hope you're all doing well! We're currently facing a challenge with transferring larger-than-100MB files via Intercom, as its built-in file upload feature is limited to 100MB. For now, we’ve been using Google Drive as a workaround, but the process of manually creating and sharing folders with customers is inconvenient, and many customers struggle with accessing the Google Drive links.We also looked into SendSafely, but it seems overpriced for our needs, requiring a minimum of 15 users.I wanted to reach out and ask if anyone has found a better solution or workaround for transferring larger files securely with customers inside Intercom. Ideally, we need something that’s easy to use, secure, and cost-effective for our small team of 3.Any suggestions or tools that you are using to handle this? I’d really appreciate your input!Thanks in advance!RegardsDarshan Hiranandani

Is this possible to change the text / design used in the outgoing email to customers when they open a ticket via email?I especially don’t like the wording used by the default system.

It could include a check box list format in the attribute options, so that it is possible to select several options.

Hi, recently updated to react native 0.76, so using MainApplication.kt instead of java. The react native docs only have guidance on .java version of react native. This is my stab at initializing the module. In app when I try to present the intercom messenger it errors out with “Content could not be loaded” with no error message or logs.```import com.intercom.reactnative.IntercomModule``````override fun onCreate() {super.onCreate()SoLoader.init(this, OpenSourceMergedSoMapping) // Initialize SoLoader first// Initialize Intercom after SoLoaderIntercomModule.initialize(this,"apikey","appkey")if (BuildConfig.IS_NEW_ARCHITECTURE_ENABLED) {load()}}``` This setup is unfortunately not working, but works perfectly on iOS. Any ideas? 

Hello,Is there any method or setting to have Fin provide a shorter answer initially, and give the user the option to ask for it to elaborate and provide a more detailed response? Currently, the bot is providing answers that are too long and overwhelming. Any solutions or adjustments we could make to get closer to this goal would be appreciated!Thanks,Jason

Dear Sir / Madam, We are developing an integration with Intercom via the API and events. Recently, prob starting about 1 - 2 weeks ago, we noticed that Intercom send 3 copies of every event. We followed the guideline to send back the ok() on every event we processed, but somehow the duplicate events still come on every event. Did the guideline change? This used to work well but something seems to have changed recently. Best

Hi,So I have connected WA to intercom and I got it all set and connected, I have created a template and it got verified.

Hi! I wanted to check in if it’s possible to get the File for the Default Notification on Intercom?Would be nice to have it, looking to so a meme with Jack Nicholson The Shining movie scene Thanks!

is it possible to make or see in some place, when we call, in which time zone by code the client is? 

I'm using the intercom api to create and respond conversations of type email, when I send messages as an admin using HTML, some HTML components are stripped, as a result clients can't see the HTML formatted correctly when the email is opened, like i gmail for instance, why is this?

I would like to a add a conversation tag via a worfklow to the first message sent (via SMS), but even manually it is not possible to tag the first message in the conversation and it appears as Fin who sent it while it wasn’t.According to Intercom the first SMS messages will not show teammate profile icon and it's not possible to tag it.Have anyone had similar issue and find a workaround to it? 

Hi We’ve configured Intercom using GTM in our SPA but we have the issue that a leads conversation history in Messenger is not appended to their contact conversation history when they log in.While logged out, in our sign in page, we use the “install” method to display the messenger and allow the lead to ask questions.Once signed in we use the ‘update’ method to push the contacts data to intercom.We also use “boot” after sign in to force the messenger to show the signed in users data (since its an SPA we don’t rely on page refresh).Based on the above should the leads conversation not be added to the contacts conversation history after sign in?It is not 100% clear to me from the documentation if this is how to actually structure these calls. Any help is greatly appreciated.Other Questions:1) Does ‘install’ method create a new visitor session every time its called? Ie if I visit the login page as a signed out visitor (calls install), then without signing in, I refresh the page, should I ge

Hello! I’m wondering what solutions small teams (3 intercom users) for secure, large file transfer?  Intercom seems limited to 100mb and we occasionally need to transfer larger files with customers.  Our work around is using Google Drive and manually creating and sharing a folder with customers, but this is inconvenient and many customers have trouble accessing the Google drive link. We looked at SendSafely but it’s extremely expensive requiring 15 users minimum. What solutions are you using for larger than 100mb file transfers inside of Intercom? Thank you!

Good morning everyone how are you? I see that in our conversation that you have a Linear optionCan someone help me if I can create Linear tickets in app, and if so, how? Thank you! 

Dear Intercom Support Team,I hope this email finds you well.We currently use Intercom to manage our customer interactions, and I’m reaching out regarding a feature that could streamline our process. Specifically, we need to create a list of over 250 station names in the "Settings > Data > Conversations" section of Intercom for managing our tickets.Manually entering each station name is quite time-consuming. Is there a way to bulk upload or automatically generate this list directly within Intercom? If so, could you please provide guidance or documentation on how to implement this?This capability would significantly enhance our efficiency. Thank you in advance for your assistance, and please let me know if you require additional details to address this request.Looking forward to hearing from you.Best regards,Jorge from Equip Sport

I'm using the intercom api to create and respond conversations of type email, when I send messages as an admin using HTML, some styles are stripped out, as a result clients can't see the HTML formatted correctly when the email is opened, Do you know why this could be? I'm seeing that css styles are removed and even using inline styles would not work, does intercom support styles in the email conversations api at all?

I am currently handling one of my client's projects where I have to engage with the audience and customers of 3 different cities in the USA. It is more commonly about medical consultations, So I am looking for a platform where I can engage my client’s customers according to their location and plan their consultations according to customers’ location.Should I go for it or not? Will I be able to engage customers according to their locations? Is there any plan of Intercom that can sound beneficial for this specific business?

Hi Everyone,  My team and I are having a hard time adapting to Tickets but we want it to work as tracking our conversations that require engineering/technical assistance is quite difficult! Does anyone have any best practices or tips on how they are currently managing back office tickets when working with other teams?  Here’s an example: Our support team may get an issue that requires us to get assistance from our engineering team. Currently we create a back office ticket, fill out all the necessary fields that our engineering team needs and assigns the ticket to the engineering queue.  When the engineering team needs more information, they’d prefer not to keep the ticket in their queue so they send it back to support, essentially leaving us with double the amount of tickets till we get the information from our clients to send it back to the engineering queue.  Appreciate any insight! 

Hi guys,Someone already asked that question but got a generic answer so i will try again:I’d like to create a view that shows all the conversations/tickets that we’re currently waiting for the customer to answer on.So let’s say: If a customer haven’t responded to our last message for let’s say 3 days, show it to me in that view.I know how to create a view but the conditions/filters is what i need help with Thanks a bunch! :) Ro

Hello Intercom Support Team,I hope this message finds you well.We have successfully integrated the Intercom SDK into both our Android and iOS apps, and everything has been working properly for the most part. However, we've encountered some client issues specifically with the Android app regarding Mobile Carousels.Issue Details:We have set up Mobile Carousels as a series in the Intercom dashboard. These carousels are triggered from the server-side as expected. When a carousel pops up on the mobile app, it blocks the app's UI rendering and prevents API calls from executing, which impacts the overall user experience negatively.Environment Details:Platform: Android Intercom SDK Version: 15.9.1 Trigger Method: Server-sideImpact:This behavior creates delays and interruptions in the app’s functionality, leading to poor user experience for our clients.Expected Behavior:When the carousel is displayed, it should not block the app's UI rendering or API calls.Request for Assistance:Could you pleas
