Hello,

With the introduction of the FIN support for webhooks (https://community.intercom.com/ideas/add-fin-replies-to-conversation-webhooks-7784), businesses can use workflows to speed up the work.

When FIN/Workflow replies with a comment which includes quick reply buttons, the two “conversation.admin.replied” webhooks are sent. One with the conversation part with type `conversation_part` and the second with part_type: `quick_reply`. 

Here is how the message with quick reply buttons looks in Intercom:

The FIN message with two quick reply buttons sent by reusable workflow

 

 Unfortunately, The webhook with part_type: `quick_reply` does not include information about the buttons:

Webhook payload for part_type: `quick_reply`

  

As many 3rd-party chat platforms have support for quick reply buttons (including Telegram), it’d be nice to include the information about buttons to the quick_reply webhooks.

In the Intercom documentation, there is a parameter `reply_options`. Perhaps, there is an issue in the code that prevents having `reply_options` in the webhook:

REST API docs https://developers.intercom.com/docs/references/rest-api/api.intercom.io/models/admin_reply_ticket_request

 

Also, to have a complete set of tools to incorporate quick reply, it is essential to have an endpoint that allows “click” on a quick action. For example, an additional parameter in the reply endpoint:

curl example

The recent API changes have a support for quick reply buttons: https://developers.intercom.com/docs/references/unstable/changelog#send-quick-replies-via-the-api

 

The thread can be marked as solved.

Greetings, ​@Andrii Fedyk !

Could you please clarify - does this mean that your Telegram integration for Intercom already supports Fin messages and self-service menu buttons? (Or will it support them in the near future?)

Hello ​@Vlad L,

We work on FIN and workflow support for Telegram (menu buttons are on top of the list). As the API is unstable, some things work not as expected.

For instance, we can show menu buttons on Telegram, but the API doesn’t handle clicks on the buttons yet. This issue was reported directly to the API team. We have no ETA for a fix and no working workaround.

Also, there is a new API for FIN integration. It’s a closed beta, and works still in progress.

To sum up, integration between FIN and Telegram is not ready. We are working hard on implementing the feature as fast as possible.

Hello, ​@Andrii Fedyk !

Could you please let us know if there are any updates on this matter? We are waiting for your implementation to transfer the self-service menu to Telegram.

 

Additionally, it would be interesting to understand how the self-service menu from Intercom will function in Telegram when the Intercom auto-translation for workflows is enabled.

 

Thank you!

Hello,

The new version of REST API has documented option to support quick replies menu. In practice, the endpoint returns errors. We are gathering all detail and will report issue to Intercom Team
