Often we have content that is formatted in Markdown that we’d like to paste into Intercom to be sent as a reply to a customer. It’d be great if pasted markdown formatting was preserved where that formatting is supported by Intercom. A quick test gave me these results:Not preserved on paste:Bold: **text** Italic: _text_ and *text* Strikethrough: ~~text~~ Inline code: `text` Code block: triple backticks Heading: # (H1) and ## (H2) Blockquote: > text Bulleted list: - item and * item Numbered list: 1. (pastes as plain text, not a styled list)Already handled correctly on paste, for contrast:Markdown link [label](url) renders as a clickable link Single line breaks and blank lines between paragraphs are preserved
Back office tickets should have the ability to be easily re-opened just like normal conversation tickets. Example: if a team-mate replies on a back-office ticket that’s already been marked Resolved/Closed, the ticket should re-open. The use case would be: Back-office tickets are used to track bugs, so visibility is key at every stage.
Currently, when working inside the shared Inbox, the text formatting options in the reply composer are limited to the basics (bold, italics, etc.). When dealing with complex support tickets, long explanations, or crucial warnings, these basic tools aren’t enough to properly structure information for the customer.The Solution We need Font Size and Font Color selectors added directly to the rich-text toolbar in the Inbox reply composer (where teammates read and reply to conversations).Detailed Use Cases & Why We Need This: Highlighting Critical Information: When customers need to be warned about something important (e.g., "Do not click X before doing Y"), standard bolding often gets lost in a long paragraph. Being able to change the text color to red or orange would immediately grab the customer's attention and prevent user errors. Step-by-Step Troubleshooting: When sending a list of instructions, being able to color-code steps or increase the font size of section headers makes it much easier for the customer to read and follow along without getting overwhelmed. Accessibility and Readability: Not all customers have perfect vision. Sometimes we need the ability to bump up the font size of our replies to accommodate users who need larger text, improving their overall support experience. Brand Consistency: Having access to color tools would allow our support team to use our brand's primary colors for links or headings, making the interaction feel more professional and customized. Current Workarounds & Their Flaws: Right now, to emphasize something, we have to rely heavily on bolding, highlighting, or using ALL CAPS. ALL CAPS can come across as aggressive (like yelling at the customer), and too much bolding just makes the text look cluttered.
Hello,We are working with teams that would like tickets to be created automatically for each message. In some use cases, ticket creation would be fully automated. If the customer selects this option, a ticket could be generated automatically and filled with the required information.For this reason, I would like to have the ability to define ticket attributes for these types of automated ticket creation scenarios.
When creating a new ticket form, you’re currently not able to set up attributes with a multi-select list field. I would like to create a list attribute and choose if I want this to be a multi or single select field. The only workaround currently is to create multiple fields which is not a great user experience and makes reporting cluttered and less straightforward.
I saw that the Tickets Portal has been renamed to Customer Portal in the Help Center recently. Is there any plans to have this naming convention customizable?Customer Portal is misleading since that’s something our customers might call our actual platform so if we reference it in our Help Center or other documentation, that could lead to very real confusion. Tickets Portal was working well for us.
It would be incredibly helpful to be able to duplicate help centers / articles for easy audience segmentation without having to recreate the entire thing each time. This way I can do a quick tweaking of what I need.
Right now, the Inbox search only returns results based on text inside conversations. If a company name never appears in the conversation itself, searching for that company will return no results — even though the conversation is associated with that company.It would be helpful if Inbox search could also return conversations based on associated company names, not just message content. This would make Intercom feel more like a traditional inbox where you can search by company and still find all related conversations.
Can you finally make a native integration to receive messages from clients via Telegram bots? It is a messenger with 1+ billion of users. Why are you not working on it? Interchat.io stole your profit by making this integration more then 1 year ago
We are building multiple procedures that need to share data with each other during the same conversation. Today, when a procedure ends, the context it built (amounts, decisions, variables) is not reliably accessible by the next procedure or by Fin in a general conversation turn.Our specific use case:We need to pass the refund amount calculated in one procedure to a second procedure (e.g. a refund/credit dispute procedure) so Fin can tell the rider exactly how much they were compensated without asking again or losing that information.What we are asking for:The ability to write a conversation attribute inside one procedure and read it reliably in any other procedure or general conversation turn within the same conversation for example:compensation_minutes set in a procedure → readable in the refund dispute procedure refund_amount set during a credit step → displayable to the rider later if they askWhy this matters:Without this, we are forced to either cram all logic into one mega-procedure (which causes the re-triggering and idempotency issues we already flagged) or lose context between procedures and give the rider a worse, disconnected experience.
Hello,would be great to extend light agent rights, and to be able see conversations not only in which there were mentioned.To see customers assigned to them conversations or something similar.Now it expensive to give full license for sales when tool is used only by support team as example in our case, Light agent license is nonsense because can be used only for reporting or similar
When a sales representative forward an email from a customer to our support email address, the ticket is created with the sales rep name rather than the customer user.When a customer sends an email to our support email address, with some colleagues in CC, we may need at some point to update / change the primary contact. In the table view, I’d like to be able to see who is the main contact of a ticket (and not see the sales representative).
Would be great to be able to change the title of a chat, when it has been sent. Since it would only be visible to the sender for internal purposes, it should not be a problem.
I create dozens of articles with identical settings in Content Type, Fin Audience, Help Center, and Help Center Audience, and they’re all stored in the same folder. It would be great if I could start by selecting the folder and on that basis Intercom would apply the other attributes. It’s basically a template article, but populating some of the main settings instead of the content.
In most companies, the user interface (UI) is constantly evolving. Currently, whenever the UI of a button changes in our system, we must manually find and replace the corresponding image in every article where it has been used. This process is time-consuming and prone to errors.To address this issue, I propose introducing an Image Gallery feature. This feature would serve as a centralized library of reusable image templates, making it easier to manage and update images in articles. Benefits and Features of the Image Gallery Reusable Image Templates The Image Gallery would function as a centralized repository for commonly used images, similar to a clipboard but specifically for images. A button within the article editor would display a list of available images, allowing users to quickly select and paste them into articles. Simplified Updates Across Articles Updating an image in the Image Gallery would automatically update it in all articles where that image is used. This eliminates the need for users to individually replace images in multiple articles whenever a UI change occurs. Streamlined Workflow By reducing the manual effort required to maintain UI consistency across articles, the Image Gallery would save time, minimize errors, and ensure that all articles always reflect the latest UI changes.
.Currently, the Branch condition in Fin workflows only supports Escalation Guidance — you can branch based on which Escalation Guidance was triggered (e.g. Frustration, Legal escalation, Speak to a Human). Regular Guidance articles are not available as branch conditions at all.For example If Fin handles a conversation using a Guidance (e.g. spam detection), we want to route or deprioritise that conversation differently in the workflow — without it being treated the same as a other messages in the workflow. There's currently no way to detect or act on when regular Guidance was used. Add the Branch condition dropdown to include regular Guidance articles alongside Escalation Guidance, so teams can build more granular routing logic based on how Fin actually handled the conversation.
Hi,On iOS SDK there is no ability to switch workspaces - vs. Android SDK where you have such ability (documented here: https://developers.intercom.com/installing-intercom/android/using-intercom#change-workspace:~:text=the%20Android%20SDK.-,Change%20workspace,-Kotlin`changeWorkspace(apiKey: String?, appId: String?)`
We’d like to have individual agent Slack notifications for when a conversation is assigned. This would help cut down on noise in our Slack channel, and allow our team to meet critical SLAs.
Currently, navigating between different Intercom ticket types (chat, phone, email) is confusing and unintuitive. We’re hoping to see UI changes that leverage more intuitive visual design principles. One possible low-lift suggestion could be as simple as implementing different color-coding for each unique channel (ex: Green border on Intercom window for chat contacts, orange for emails, etc).
It would be an enhancement in user experience if it would be possible to set background colors to the different ticket types. We have teams that process both customer tickets and back-office tickets and it is now sometimes confusing for them, because there is only a slight difference in what they see. If we could put a background color for example to back-office tickets, that would help them make the distinction between the different types.
Currently, when we edit article titles in the help center, the URL automatically updates to match the new title. This breaks all existing links to that article across our ecosystem, including:Article cross-references External website academy links to our articles in helpcenter Email automation sequences directing to articles in helpcenter Any other systems linking to our help centerRequested Solution:URL Persistence: Keep article URLs stable when titles are edited, similar to how website platforms handle page URLs Manual URL Control: Allow manual editing of article URLs when needed Redirect System: Automatically redirect old URLs to new ones when URLs are manually changedBusiness Impact:For organizations with extensive linking systems (cross-references, external websites, email automations), title changes create significant maintenance overhead. We make regular title updates for clarifications, spelling corrections, and content improvements as our platform evolves, making this a frequent pain point.Current Workaround:None available - we must manually track and update all links across multiple systems whenever we edit article titles.
