    Feature Request: Customizable Notification Sounds and Desktop Alerts by Channel and Team InboxSubmitted

    Feature Request: Channel-Specific Notification Sounds and More Noticeable Live Chat AlertsI'd love to see more granular notification preferences in Intercom, especially for teams managing both live chat and email.I know Intercom already allows teammates to choose a notification sound, enable notifications for specific team inboxes, and receive desktop alerts.But the challenge is that all incoming conversations still sound pretty much the same, regardless of how urgently they need attention.For context, our FRT targets are: Live Chat: 2 minutes Email: 2 hours Phone: 1 minute Phone consistently performs best for us, and I think part of that comes down to how noticeable incoming calls are. There's a distinct ringtone and a prominent pop-up, so teammates know immediately that something needs their attention.Live chats require almost the same urgency, but they don't get the same treatment. A new chat can easily get lost among email notifications, assignments, and other inbox activity.And realistically, teammates can't be expected to watch their inbox every second while working on other tasks.A few improvements I'd love to see: Different notification sounds by channel. Let teammates assign separate sounds for live chats and emails. Even just having a distinct default sound for chats would help. Custom sounds by team inbox. Allow different sounds for Sales, Support, Escalations, etc., especially for teammates covering multiple queues. More noticeable live chat alerts. I know desktop notifications already exist, but it would be great to have an optional, more prominent pop-up specifically for incoming live chats, similar to how incoming calls are displayed. Optional SLA-based reminders. For example, if a live chat hasn't received a response after 60 seconds, trigger another alert before the conversation breaches its FRT target. I also wonder if there's an opportunity to improve the reliability and visibility of existing notifications.We've found that simply having notification preferences enabled doesn't always mean incoming chats are noticeable enough, especially when teammates are working across multiple tabs.I understand that some of these would be bigger product changes, but I think separate notification sounds for chats and emails would be a great starting point.The goal isn't to create more notification noise. It's to help teammates recognize what needs immediate attention without having to constantly monitor the inbox.I also found a few similar requests here in the Community, so it looks like other teams are running into the same challenge.Curious how others are handling this. Are your teams also struggling to distinguish incoming live chats from emails, or have you found a setup that works well?

    Add outbound/Series performance stats to the Intercom MCP serverSubmitted

    The problemThe Intercom MCP server gives AI tools (Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, etc.) access to conversations, contacts, companies, and Help Center articles. But there’s no way to retrieve performance data for outbound content — Series, Emails, Posts, Tours, Surveys, Banners.As a Customer Success team, we use Intercom for onboarding Series and email campaigns. We’d love to ask our AI assistant questions like:“How did our onboarding Series perform last month?” “Which email in the Series has the lowest open rate?” “Compare click rates across our last three campaigns”Right now, the only option is to export CSVs manually from the UI and upload them to the AI tool — every single time.The data already existsThe Data Export API (POST /export/content/data) already exports delivery and engagement stats for outbound content: receipts, opens, clicks, replies, completions, dismissals, unsubscribes, bounces, plus Series completions, disengagements, and exits. So this request is mainly about exposing what’s already available through the MCP server.Proposed solutionAdd read-only MCP tools such as:list outbound content (Series, Emails, Posts, Tours, Surveys) with IDs, titles, and status get aggregated performance stats for a specific piece of content or Series for a given date range — the same metrics shown in the Series Performance Summary optionally, get per-recipient engagement data (wrapping the existing Data Export API)Why it mattersFaster campaign analysis without manual exports Teams outside support (marketing, product, CS) can get insights from Intercom data in the AI tools they already use It completes the MCP picture: conversations show what customers say, outbound stats show how they respond to what we sendWould love to hear if others need this too — please upvote if so!

    Restore Touchscreen Navigation and S Pen Support in Intercom InboxSubmitted

    I'd like to request that Intercom restore and improve touchscreen navigation and S Pen compatibility in the Inbox interface, specifically on my Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra.What worked well before:Two or three years ago, using Intercom with the S Pen on Samsung Galaxy devices was an excellent experience. It was more precise and convenient than regular touch controls and significantly improved my productivity.Unfortunately, S Pen interactions deteriorated so badly last year that I eventually stopped using the pen entirely.What has changed recently:Over the past 10 days, recent UI updates have also significantly degraded regular touchscreen interactions on my Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra.Scrolling to the top or bottom of certain menus and panels no longer works properly. I sometimes have to select text and drag it up or down just to reach menu options. Touch navigation feels less responsive, less accurate, and less reliable overall. The only noticeable improvement has been the ability to swipe certain notifications, such as connection and disconnection alerts, sideways.What I'm requesting:Please restore smooth, accurate touch scrolling across all menus and panels, fix the interaction issues introduced by recent updates, and bring back reliable S Pen support.Touchscreen and stylus compatibility should improve with new releases, not become less usable. These changes have had a direct negative impact on my daily workflow.I would genuinely appreciate it if the product team could review this feedback and share whether improvements or fixes are planned.Thank you for taking this seriously.
