The Problem
Currently, the Intercom mobile app lacks critical parity for Back Office Tickets. For teams with field agents, managers on the move, or back-office staff who need to collaborate away from their desks, the mobile experience is currently a bottleneck.
The specific limitations include:
-
Missing Context: You cannot see the Ticket Title or Description.
-
Data Blind Spots: Ticket Attributes (custom fields) are not visible or editable.
-
Collaboration Gaps: The ability to cross-post internal notes or see linked conversation history is limited or non-existent.
The Use Case
We have a back-office team that needs to collaborate on tickets "on the go." Whether they are commuting, moving between buildings, or working on-site, they need the same level of visibility as the desktop version to ensure SLAs aren't missed, and information remains accurate.
Proposed Solution
We need a "Ticket View" parity update for the mobile app that includes:
-
Full Header Visibility: Display the Ticket Title and ID clearly at the top of the mobile UI.
-
Attribute Access: A dedicated tab or "Details" section within the mobile ticket view to see and edit all Ticket Attributes.
-
Cross-Posting & Internal Notes: The ability to add internal notes to a ticket and see the full thread of internal collaboration, just as you would in a conversation.
-
Description Support: The ability to read (and ideally edit) the initial ticket description/summary.
-
Views for Tickets: have views in the app
The Impact
Implementing this would allow back-office teams to remain truly mobile, decreasing response times for complex issues and ensuring that "Work from Anywhere" actually applies to the ticketing side of Intercom, not just the chat side.
