I want to define a delay (f. ex. 1 sec) before a tool tip appears, when hover the mouse above the element/button

Hello ​@Stefan Rutka,

Unfortunately, there is no such a feature/option with tooltips. I was giving it a thought if that can be somehow mimicked but I can not think of any “duct tape” solution. Basically, you would need to influence Intercom behavior from the outside, which does not seem possible. 

I understand how this can be useful, you might not want to pop-up the message each time they hover over the element as that can be annoying to user, that’s probably the reason, right? 

If that is the case, why not set it to trigger on a hover on actual tooltip icon that will appear (I’m assuming you did not set the icon, the visual hotspot, but you are using the “no icon” option, actually the whole element to trigger on hover)?
