    Parse the teammate permission "can delete notes and replies" to two separate options: "can delete notes" and "can delete replies"In Beta

    I would like to have this as separate options. I would love to give my team the ability to delete internal notes but not give them the ability to delete replies

    Enhanced Agent Status VisibilitySubmitted

    Hi Intercom team! I wanted to pass along a suggestion that would really help with reporting and real‑time analysis. Right now, we’re only able to see agent statuses as Active, Away, Away and Reassigning, or On a Call. It would be incredibly helpful to also see when an agent is actively working on a chat, email, or social media interaction while in a blended environment. Something like “Active (Chat), Active (Email), Active (Social)” would be a great upgrade. I know we can see in conversations when an agent resumes working on an interaction, but having that reflected in their real‑time status—both in Intercom and in our WFM tool—would give us much better visibility. It would improve reporting accuracy and help the WFM team monitor workload and staffing needs more effectively.

    Include ticket attributes in workflowsSubmitted

    Right now, you can set / manage conversation data / attributes through ticket workflows, but you cannot do the same for ticket date / attributes. It would be helpful to support the same functionality for ticket data. For example, if a teammate changes a ticket state or certain filters apply to a ticket, it would be helpful to be able to set a ticket attribute.

    RingtoneSubmitted

    Hello Team,Having different ringtones for incoming phone calls would be great . The notifications sounds can be changed but not the ringtone for phone. Maybe providing a few softer or upbeat options would be great.

    Required Ticket AttributesReleased

    Similar to the existing functionality to require conversation attributes to be completed prior to closing a conversation, it would be helpful to require that certain ticket attributes be completed by teammates before a ticket is resolved or closed. We often utilize ticket attributes for reporting purposes and it would be helpful to be able to enforce certain attributes be completed by teammates prior to resolving/closing tickets rather than just at ticket creation. Conversation attribute:Ticket attributes:

    Critical Bug/Functional Flaw: Dynamic Table of Contents is broken by Intercom’s own SEO guidelinesSubmitted

    Intercom’s Help Center Table of Contents (ToC) is intended to provide a two-tier navigation structure. However, Intercom officially recommends avoiding <h1> tags in the article body for SEO reasons (to avoid multiple H1s on a page; the <header> tag is also read as <h1>). This recommendation creates a fundamental conflict: following your SEO advice effectively breaks the ToC, reducing it to a single, flat layer because it ignores <h3> and <h4>. This is not a "new feature" request; it is a functional misalignment that renders the "dynamic" ToC obsolete for any company following modern web standards. The Problem• The Conflict: The ToC only supports <h1> and <h2>. Since using <h1> in the body is discouraged, we are forced to use <h2> as the top level and <h3> for sub-sections. • The Result: Sub-sections (<h3>) are invisible in the ToC. The promised two-layer navigation is currently impossible to achieve without sabotaging our SEO. • Collapsible Sections: The title of a collapsible section is also ignored by the ToC, making long-form, organized content difficult to navigate. Proposed Solution: User-Configurable ToC LevelsTo resolve this, Intercom must allow users to define the hierarchy of their Table of Contents. This can be easily implemented in the Help Center settings with a simple toggle/checkbox system: Settings: Table of Contents HierarchySelect which header tags should be included in the dynamic Table of Contents:☐ H1 (Not recommended for SEO)☑︎ H2☑︎ H3☐ H4☑︎ Include Collapsible Section Titles (When assigned an included header tag)This solution allows customers to align their navigation with their specific SEO strategy and content structure. Why this is EssentialWe are currently forced to choose between search engine visibility and user experience (readability). As a premium platform, Intercom should not force its users into this trade-off. The current logic is outdated and contradicts your own technical advice. Conclusion & Required ActionThis issue should not be relegated to a "Product Wishlist" where it relies on popularity votes. It is a structural flaw in the Help Center’s architecture that prevents the software from functioning as intended.We expect this issue to be moved to the Product Roadmap as a priority fix to align the Help Center functionality with Intercom’s own SEO best practices.

    Can change status’ from ‘Can manage teammates, seats and permissions’Submitted

    Right now, changing a teammate’s Away status requires the same permission that also grants access to manage teammate permissions and seats. This creates a security risk because it forces us to give broader access than needed.Please split this into a dedicated ‘change status only’ permission so we can allow Away status changes without exposing seat and permission management.

    In-Chat Screen Capture & Recording IntegrationSubmitted

    Feature Request: In-Chat Screen Capture & Recording IntegrationWhat we need? We want to empower drivers to provide instant visual context during support sessions. The goal is to take the existing "Report an issue" logic currently found in the pre-login Help Center and embed it directly into the driver’s active chat interface. This creates a "show, don't tell" experience that saves time for both the driver and the support agent.How should it WorkPlease refer to the following step-by-step logic currently utilised in our login-screen Help Center: The Entry Point: Within the active chat window, a new "Screen Capture" icon is added to the input bar. The Modal Trigger: Tapping this icon opens a "Help Center" style overlay. This overlay should offer a clear "Report an issue (screen capture)" button, mirroring the current support UI. System Authorization: Once selected, the app triggers a system-level permission dialogue (e.g., "Start recording or casting with Bettermile?"). This ensures the driver is aware of the recording. Privacy Protection: The interface must display a clear disclaimer—as currently seen in the app—warning the driver that anything visible on their screen (passwords, messages, etc.) will be captured. Seamless Attachment: Upon clicking "Start" and completing the capture, the recording/screenshot should not just save to the device; it should automatically upload and send as a message directly into the current chat thread.

    Surface article history over the Intercom APISubmitted

    It would be beneficial for the article history to be able to be surfaced over the Intercom API.Specifically so that it is possible to report on when an article was updated and who updated the article.

    Add search_tickets to Intercom ConnectorSubmitted

    Using the Intercom Connector with Claude is great, but there’s no search_tickets which would be useful as the ticket feature has been out a while now.  Searching tickets by custom attributes would really be next level to deep dive into the data and tie it into other tools.

    Global sub-proceduresSubmitted

    ProblemWhen building procedures, groups of steps are often repeated both within a single procedure and across multiple procedures. While sub-procedures help reduce repetition, they are currently limited in scope to a single procedure. As a result, the same sets of steps must be duplicated and maintained across multiple procedures.ExampleIn e-commerce workflows, a common repeated task is retrieving the customer’s order reference:List customer orders Ask for clarification if multiple orders exist Identify the correct orderThis sequence is required in many order-related procedures. Any updates to this flow must be manually copied and applied everywhere it is used.Proposed SolutionIntroduce global, account-wide sub-procedures that:Can be reused across multiple proceduresCannot be executed directly by FinCan only be invoked from other procedures or sub-proceduresThis would function as a reusable workflow system for procedures, reducing duplication and simplifying maintenance.Thanks.

    Use the latest attribute value for Copilot snippet and article matchingSubmitted

    At the moment, Copilot relies on the original attribute assigned to the ticket. Manually changing the attribute afterward does not have any effect.In Snippets, we assign a specific audience based on an attribute, and this attribute depends on where the customer contacts us from. When customers reach out through the in-app chat, everything works as expected. However, when they contact us via email or our company’s website chat, we’re unable to identify which brand they belong to. As a result, the correct audience is not applied, and the relevant Help Center articles are not used for their questions. I also tried manually updating the attribute after the ticket was created, but Copilot still does not recognize the change.

    Covert conversation monitoring for certain teammatesSubmitted

    Would it be possible to add a permission that allows certain users to view live conversations without triggering the “NAME is looking” indicator at the top of the conversation window? This could be useful to perform covert monitoring of how a conversation is handled by another teammate.

    Automatically Assign Manually Created Chats/Emails to Inbox Instead of AgentSubmitted

    Currently, when an agent manually creates a new chat or email, the conversation is automatically assigned to the agent who created it. Our team workflow requires these conversations to be assigned to the Inbox instead so they can be triaged and handled by the next available team member.Right now, agents must manually unassign themselves and reassign the conversation to the Inbox every time they create a new chat or email. This adds extra steps to the process and creates the risk of conversations remaining assigned to the wrong person if the reassignment step is missed. We have reviewed the setting under Settings → Inbox → Assignments → General → Default assignee, but this setting only applies to incoming conversations and does not apply to chats or emails manually created by an agent. We also confirmed that this cannot currently be achieved via workflows. Suggested Improvement:Add an option that allows manually created chats and emails to be automatically assigned to the Inbox instead of the agent who created them.This would reduce manual steps for agents, improve team workflows, and ensure conversations are properly triaged through the Inbox rather than being assigned to an individual by default.

    Microsoft Teams Integration (functionality like Intercom's Slack integration)Submitted

    Intercom’s Slack integration allows to add intercom to channels shared with customers, which is great! It would be great to get a similar integration for Microsoft Teams.  When a business is servicing customers and partners via shared Microsoft Teams spaces, along with Slack channels, then it becomes a challenge - since the Microsoft Teams spaces become black holes of questions and support.

    “Has CSAT” filter for Monitors and Scorecard reportsSubmitted

    We need a way to include only conversations that received a CSAT rating during the selected period, so we can evaluate only the conversations that were actually rated. Right now, Monitors can include conversations that have no CSAT in the period (because they’re being included based on the customer’s most recent rating), which makes the Monitor and any attached scorecard unreliable for period-based evaluation.Justification: Monitor reports are already sensitive to how metrics are aggregated, so adding conversations that weren’t actually rated in the period makes it harder to trust the totals you’re reviewing.

    Copy link to conversationSubmitted

    It would be very helpful to have a “click to copy link” to jump directly to a specific conversation. I figure I could just grab the URL from the URL bar but I use Intercom installed as a “web app” in Safari browser, therefore the URL bar is not available. I imagine a similar issue affects those that use Intercom as a “web app” in Chromium browsers.As a work around I have to use “copy link to selected part” if I want to a share a link to the conversation with someone internally via IM (MS Teams). A little silly that I have to do this. ClickUp has “copy link to task”. Should be an easy thing!

    Linking conversation to an existing ticketPlanned

    Hello,I'd like to propose an idea that could significantly enhance our user experience and streamline our communication processes. Currently, linking a conversation to a ticket is achievable only by initiating a customer conversation within the ticket.To improve this, I suggest exploring options for linking conversations to existing tickets, especially in scenarios where users reach out to inquire about updates on tickets that have already been opened. This enhancement would allow us to maintain a more comprehensive and interconnected view of user interactions.

    Allow Fin to detect custom attributes before deciding to answerSubmitted

    Description :We operate with multiple support tiers (Level 1, 2, and 3), where query complexity increases with each level. We'd like to deploy Fin on our email support channel, but only for queries where we're confident it can deliver accurate answers.For Level 1 and Level 2 requests, Fin handles responses reliably. However, for Level 3 requests, the answers are significantly less accurate, and we need a human agent to respond instead.What we'd like:The ability to configure a workflow where, upon receiving an inbound email, Fin first detects the support level via a custom attribute, and then routes accordingly: Fin answers Level 1–2 queries automatically, while Level 3 queries are routed directly to a human agent — without Fin attempting a response.Today, Fin either answers or doesn't, but there's no way to conditionally gate its response based on a pre-classified attribute before it decides to engage. This would give us much more control over where Fin adds value versus where it could hurt the customer experience.

    Fin Standalone - Customise how Fin handles unexepected user messagesSubmitted

    We use Fin Standalone and when our Fin Zendesk Messenger loads, it presents certain buttons to the customer for some of our Products. Some customers write a text reply instead of clicking a valid option, which results in the message below:Workflow "Zendesk Messaging": encountered an unexpected user message, reply buttons have been re-sentWe’ve tried Guidance and looking at the Workflow configurator, with none of these providing a solution, so it looks like this capability doesn’t exist.Can functionality to customise the error handling be introduce for a smoother customer experience please? Without this customisation, we’re seeing customer conversations being abandoned becaise the customer isn’t happy with just being presented the button options again.
