    Name length limitSubmitted

    Some customers are entering their inquiry in the “name” field by mistake, leading to names that are whole sentences. This is causing issues when the name is pushed to external systems that limit the length of name fields. Can a feature be added to allow a custom length limit for the name field?

    Separate Inbox Notifications, Distinguish Team and Customer/Lead Activity Notifications in InboxesSubmitted

    Currently, notification settings are global and apply across all inboxes and activity types. This creates noise for teams who only work in a specific inbox at a time (e.g. live chat and later emails after hours), as they receive notifications for all inboxes and for teammate actions like assignments, closures, and internal updates.It would be valuable to:Configure notifications per inbox Separate customer activity (messages/replies) from teammate activity (assignments, status changes, etc.)This would help teams stay focused on real-time customer conversations without unnecessary internal noise.

    Make Assignment & Notification Settings Unique for ChatSubmitted

    Currently in the Inbox, any workforce management settings are the same regardless of whether the conversation is email or messenger (chat) channel. This doesn’t really work for our team. While we can allow way more emails to come into their individual queues, there is a smaller amount of chats that they can handle at one time before becoming overwhelmed given the live nature of those interactions. We have also gotten feedback from agents that they would prefer if they could set different sound notifications based on channel so they can more quickly detect when they have a new chat vs a new email. Another thing they’ve asked is if a new chat could immediately pop up on their workspace or some other visual cue to make it easy to detect. There also isn’t a way to currently sign-in to only receive chats and not email conversations. It would be better if you could choose Email, Chat, or Phone and let that be a multi-select. I think that by making Chat more of its own channel in the administrative handling within the Inbox, both customers and agents would have a better experience.

    Keep Special Notices Visible After User MessagesSubmitted

    Hi! We would like the Special Notice we post to remain visible in the chat window at all times, even after the user has started writing messages. At the moment, it disappears after the user sends their first message, which is unfortunate as not everyone notices it. This is particularly evident on days when we have a one-hour closure in the middle of the day.

    Add Snippets to the Intercom APISubmitted

    It would be very helpful to be able to manage the snippets via the intercom API for a variety of maintenance tasks and for changes in operations to review and purge outdated snippets as well or to transform that content into guidance or procedures etc where needed.  List snippets using the Developer API

    Text for "Unable to load this article"Submitted

    This is the text that appears if you configure Intercom so that some articles are public and some are behind a login. If the user isn’t logged in and clicks a link in a public article to an article that is gated/not public, this is the message they see. The only customizable text is the word at the end (and the URL it points to).  I would prefer to be able to customize the whole sentence so we can tailor our message to our audience.  However, if it must remain static, the terrible punctuation should at least be improved. Proposed updated text:"This article is only available to logged-in users. [Sign in to continue] or send us a message if you need help."Where “Sign in to continue” text is fully customizable, as is the URL it links to.  Thank you very much!

    Help Center doesn't respect symbols being copied and pasted.Submitted

    Whenever I create articles in Google docs (because we can leave comments and collaborate cross departmentally) I have to go through the same song and dance each time of removing the mess of text Intercom adds in place of a “ or a ‘. This makes writing any kind of article a nightmare, especially a multilingual one.Please ensure your composers respect pasting as plain text.

    Add a ‘Status is not closed’ filter in Inbox searchSubmitted

    Today, Inbox search lets you filter to Open, Snoozed, or Closed, but there’s no way to filter for everything that’s not Closed (Open + Snoozed) in one view. This would help teams quickly see all active conversations without having to switch between Open and Snoozed.

    Add a ‘backlinks’ view for Help Center articlesSubmitted

    Add a ‘backlinks’ view for Help Center articles so we can quickly see which other articles link to a specific article. This would make it much easier to audit content relationships and avoid broken links when updating articles.

    Customize AI Summary Content for Inbound CallsSubmitted

    We would like more control over what is presented in the AI Summary for inbound phone calls.Today, the AI Summary for inbound calls is automatically generated and cannot be customized. It would be very valuable if admins could influence or enrich the generated summary based on captured attributes during the call.Example use cases: Identification number Store number Customer ID Order number Selected menu option / routing path If these attributes are captured during the conversation or workflow, it would be extremely helpful to: Include them automatically in the AI Summary Control how they are formatted/presented Prioritize important operational data at the top of the summary Example:“Customer called regarding invoice issue. Store number: 12345678. Routed via Billing queue.”This would make inbound call summaries much more actionable for support teams and reduce the need to manually listen back to calls or search for key identifiers.

    Allow our users to select their preference for notificationsSubmitted

    We had a user raise a complaint that for clinicians, Intercoms multi-channel notification is too noisey. They would like the option to chose one device to receive notifications, so that they don’t get notified of a message for many. It got to our Canny board, but is direct feedback of how intercom impacts busy clinicians who we serve.https://getheidi.canny.io/features/p/notification-preferences-for-support-tickets

    Allow CTA button styling (e.g. sharp corners) in in-app messages / popupsSubmitted

    Right now, CTA buttons in in-app messages (popups) have fixed styling with rounded corners and no option to customize their appearance.It would be really valuable to allow basic button styling controls such as:Corner radius (e.g. sharp vs rounded edges) Padding / size More flexibility in visual appearanceThis is especially important for maintaining brand consistency across channels, since email templates already support more advanced button styling.At the moment, the lack of control in popups creates inconsistencies in UI/UX and limits design flexibility.

    Feature Request: Conditional Visibility for Standard Attributes (Conversation, People, Company Objects)Submitted

    There’s already a feature to assign visibility conditionally on the team inbox where the customer is assigned for Custom Conversation Attributes. Can you expand that to Standard Attributes plus the People and Company objects?

    Sync Banner content to Fin AI knowledge baseSubmitted

    When a Banner is active in Intercom, teams should have the option to make its content available to Fin as a knowledge source. When the Banner is paused or deleted, that content should be automatically removed from Fin's knowledge base without any manual steps.The problemBanners are commonly used to communicate important product changes, outages, or announcements. In practice, many customers dismiss or skim banners without fully absorbing the information. This generates avoidable support volume — customers contact support asking questions the banner already answered.Fin has no visibility into active banner content today, so it cannot answer these questions accurately or consistently, even when the information is current and relevant.There are existing workarounds — such as creating a snippet or article with the same content — but these require manual cleanup after the banner is removed. Without that cleanup, outdated information remains in Fin's knowledge base, which creates a different problem.The proposed behaviourWhen creating or editing a Banner, an option is available to include the banner content in Fin's knowledge base. When that option is enabled and the banner is published, the content is automatically added as a contextual source for Fin. Fin can reference that content when responding to related customer questions while the banner is active. When the banner is paused or deleted, the content is automatically removed from Fin's knowledge base — no manual cleanup required.This closes a gap between what customers are told through banners and what Fin can actually answer. It reduces support volume during product change windows, improves the accuracy of Fin's responses, and removes a manual process that teams would otherwise need to manage themselves.

    Manually add companySubmitted

    I've found this question I had a few times on this platform and I can't wrap my head around the fact that this is not possible. I think this is very basic Support platform functionality.  The answer from Intercom is; Use the REST API.  This is not a workable answer for many people, so I suggest just adding a “+ Create new company” button in the Contacts section: Thanks for your consideration :)

    Timestamps in Conversation UISubmitted

    It is really important to show exact timestamp for each message in a conversation, and not just “3 days ago” or something like this. Why?For example I have one message from a customer on 10am, and then they get a reply later that day at 10 pm.If that was 3 days ago, I would see for both messages the 3d indication- but it won’t reflect that the customer has been waiting for 12 hours for a response. I know we have it in the reports, but I would like to see it while I review conversations, just like any other messaging app has. I think this is basic.  Thanks

    Assign company based on domainSubmitted

    Addition of domain field for companies with automatic email domain identification.When someone writes in from a domain that is clearly associated with a company, it would be helpful if the system automatically detected this. This would not only be helpful for reporting purposes but also for workflows where certain content is specific to a segmented audience. As an example, if Big Health’s domains are sleepio.com, trydaylight.com and bighealth.com, allow the team to specify those associated domains in company details and when someone writes in from teammate.name@sleepio.com, automatically assign the company “Big Health”. This would allow Fin to point to guidance specific to the “Big Health” audience in knowledge base and in workflows

    Chat handling time metric excluding time after ticket submissionSubmitted

    Currently, conversation datasets/reports measure handling time from the start of the conversation until closure. This includes time that occurs after a ticket is created, which makes it difficult to measure the true chat handling time for our frontline support.It would be helpful to have a new metric that measures chat handling time only until ticket submission, excluding any time spent after the ticket is created.This would allow teams to:Measure the actual time spent handling the chat conversation. Compare chat handling performance without ticket processing time. Build clearer SLAs and reporting for chat vs ticket workflows.

    Make Messenger window movable or detachable for embedded editorsSubmitted

    We embed Intercom Messenger directly inside our product’s editor, and many users open a conversation specifically to ask questions while they continue editing. In this context, the current fixed-position Messenger window can cover important parts of the UI and make the editor hard to use.Our users are asking for the ability to freely move or detach the Messenger while keeping it open, so they can keep both the editor and the conversation visible and usable at the same time.Requested capabilities: Allow end users to move the Messenger window Make the Messenger window draggable by default, or Provide an option to enable “floating / draggable” mode per workspace or per app. Ideally remember the last position per user and restore it the next time they open the Messenger. Optional alternative: detachable / pop-out mode Provide a way to open the Messenger in a separate floating panel or browser window while keeping it connected to the current session. This would let users keep the editor full-screen while referencing the conversation side-by-side. Configuration for product teams A setting in Messenger configuration (e.g. “Allow users to move Messenger window”) so we can enable this behavior only on certain pages (such as editors, complex forms, or dashboards). An API hook/event so that we can react when users move or pop out the Messenger (for example, to adjust other UI elements). Why this matters: In tools with complex editors (site builders, app builders, design tools, etc.), users frequently need to ask questions while actively editing. A fixed Messenger that overlays the canvas or important controls leads to frustration. Allowing users to reposition or detach the Messenger would significantly improve usability and reduce friction, without requiring product teams to build their own support UI. This feature would help a lot of products where Intercom is embedded into a dense UI, and would directly address user feedback that “the chat gets in the way while I’m trying to work.”

    Allow a setting to suppress link preview images on Help Center articlesSubmitted

    There is currently no way to prevent the og:image tag from being populated on Help Center article pages. Customers and internal teams sharing article links in Slack see large, disruptive full-width image previews. We'd like the ability to leave og:image empty so links unfurl with text onNote: Favicon incorrectly used as og:image on Help Center article pages following mid-May 2026 rebrand from Intercom to Fin. Prior to mid-May 2026, Help Center article URLs shared in Slack unfurled with just a title and description—no image. Following Intercom's rebrand to Fin, article pages now populate og:image with the favicon, causing large full-width image previews in Slack. This appears to be a regression caused by a change on Intercom's end, not a configuration change on our end.

    Allow Fin Recommendations to Consider All ResourcesSubmitted

    Currently, it appears that the Recommendations tool within Fin > Analyze only considers Snippets and public articles (i.e. public synced webpages), but not internal articles. We hold many of our Fin resources as synced Guru pages, which are considered internal articles, so the recommended snippets are not able to consider what already exists there. The Recommendations tool would be so much more useful if it considered all of what Fin can actually use when constructing answers.Here’s what Fin shared with me when I asked why internal articles weren’t showing - thanks for considering!Internal articles that are accessible to Fin are not used when generating the recommendations in Fin > Analyze. Recommendations are generated by comparing failed Fin responses to successful human replies, and they’re only generated from your public articles and snippets (not internal articles). That’s why you’ll only see Snippets as “related content” in those recommendations, even if you’ve enabled internal articles for Fin to use in answers.
