    Allow updating the WhatsApp Number attribute via APISubmitted

    We would like to suggest an improvement to the Intercom API that would allow the WhatsApp Number attribute to be updated or cleared programmatically.Our use case comes from the type of service we provide: we are a CRM for real estate agencies, and it is common for a user to move from one company to another.When this happens, the user's WhatsApp number needs to stop being associated with their previous user profile and be associated with their new profile instead.According to Intercom Support, the current workflow requires us to contact Support every time this happens, because the WhatsApp Number attribute cannot be edited or cleared through the UI or API.The current workaround is to: Ask Intercom Support to clear the WhatsApp Number from the old user's profile. Add the number to the new user's Phone attribute. With Identify existing users enabled, Intercom will then match the user's next incoming WhatsApp message to the new profile. This works, but it requires manual intervention from the Intercom Support team for every user who changes companies, which makes the process difficult to scale.Ideally, we would like to be able to clear or update the WhatsApp Number attribute through the API. This would allow us to automate the reassignment process from our own CRM and avoid requiring Support intervention for each individual case.We believe this would be particularly useful for CRM platforms and other systems where users can move between organizations while keeping the same WhatsApp number. Thanks for considering this feedback, and we’d really appreciate it if this could be considered for a future API improvement. Best regards,Leandro

    Delayed Send & Undo Send for EmailsSubmitted

    Feature RequestAdd the ability to configure a short delay before outbound emails are sent, with an Undo Send option available during that window.Similar to what exists in Messenger.Problem / Use CaseCurrently, once an agent sends an email in Intercom, it is sent immediately. This leaves no opportunity to catch a typo, incorrect information, missing attachment, or accidental send after clicking Send.Other CRIM’s (i.e. Kustomer) offer a useful workflow where an agent can send an email as normal, but the message remains in a temporary suspended state for a short period before actually being delivered. During this window, the agent can select Recall/Undo, which returns the email to draft so it can be edited and resent.This provides a simple safety net without adding additional steps to the normal email workflow.Proposed SolutionIntroduce a configurable Send Delay for outbound emails in Intercom.For example, an admin or individual user could configure a delay of 30, 60 or 120 seconds. When an agent sends an email:The email enters a temporary pending/suspended state. The UI displays an Undo Send option and, ideally, the remaining time before the email is sent. If the agent selects Undo, the email returns to draft and can be edited. If no action is taken, the email is automatically sent once the configured delay expires.BenefitThis would reduce accidental or incorrect emails, give agents a chance to catch mistakes immediately after sending, and provide additional confidence when communicating with customers, all without disrupting or slowing down the standard workflow.
