    Feature Request: Email & Microsoft Teams Notifications for Series Checklist CompletionSubmitted

    Current BehaviorCurrently, the only way to notify team members when a checklist is completed in a Series is via Slack. There is no equivalent option for:- Email notifications to team members- Microsoft Teams notificationsEmail notifications in Intercom are limited to receiving a message or being mentioned in a note — neither of which covers the "checklist step completed" trigger. Desired BehaviorWe would like Intercom to support the following notification triggers when a Series checklist step is completed:1. Email notification — Send an automated email to one or more team members or a team inbox when a specific checklist is marked as complete or2. Microsoft Teams notification — Send a message to a defined Microsoft Teams channel when a checklist step is completed, similar to how Slack is currently supported under "More channels". Use Case Many teams — including ours — rely on Microsoft Teams as their primary communication platform and email for async notifications. Limiting step-completion alerts to Slack excludes a large portion of Intercom customers who don't use Slack internally. This feature would allow you to:- Keep non-Slack teams informed about customer onboarding progress in real time- Trigger internal follow-up actions when a customer completes a key onboarding step- Improve cross-team visibility without requiring manual checks in Intercom Proposed Implementation Ideas- Add "Email" and "Microsoft Teams" as additional channel options alongside Slack in the Series step "More channels" settings- Allow customizable notification content (e.g., which step was completed, customer name, timestamp)- Option to notify a specific person, team, or channel

    Ability to create personalised reporting metrics + calculated metricsSubmitted

    The reporting feature in Intercom is still quite limited and does not allow you to achieve certain data views that would be very valuable. I compare this to my experience with Looker, where I was able to create calculated fields with personalised functions to then calculate percentages, ratios, etc.An example function would be a simple calculation where you could set the numerator & denominator to metrics of your choice. So you could easily calculate percentages. F.e.Function for percentage calculation = (Numerator / denominator) * 100 Numerator = Count of new conversations where fin was involvedDenominator = Count of new conversationsResult = percentage of conversations where Fin was involvedNow this is a very simple example, but the possibilities would be endless, and clients would not be limited to preset data fields provided by Intercom. Ideas I already had was to be able to calculate the split of escalations, Percentage value change, etc.❗️One additional big ask would be to offer a simple selection in the chart options to (on top of the data labels), be able to apply a trend line feature. Currently, this all has to happen externally from Intercom via CSV export.❗️❗️ Final ask, the ability to live sync selected chart data into sheets. Currently, if you want to export your data into sheets, you can capture a snapshot in time. But ideally, we could simply live sync to sheets and then work on reporting out of the spreadsheet, where they offer far more malleable data processing functions.

    Auto translations after ticket conversionSubmitted

    Why It Matters:Customer Experience: When customers receive replies in their native language, it significantly improves satisfaction, trust, and perceived support quality. Not replying in the customer’s language can lead to frustration, misunderstandings, and reduced resolution rates. Agent Efficiency: Manual translation of converted chats is time-consuming and error-prone. Agents spend extra effort translating messages, which slows response times and reduces the number of tickets they can handle. Scalability: As your business grows globally, manual translation doesn’t scale. Auto-translation enables seamless multilingual support without hiring additional translators or expanding language-specific teams.Risks to Consider:Accuracy & Nuance: Machine translation may not always capture context, tone, or industry-specific terminology, potentially leading to miscommunication. Data Privacy: Translating customer data through third-party services may raise compliance concerns (e.g., GDPR, data residency). Customer Expectations: If translation quality is inconsistent, customers may become frustrated when messages are unclear or inaccurate. Implementation Complexity: Integrating translation into ticket workflows requires changes to existing systems and may impact performance or user experience.Impact of Not Translating:For Customers: Receiving messages in a language they don’t understand can lead to confusion, repeated follow-ups, and a perception of poor support. For Agents: Manually translating adds cognitive load, increases response times, and may lead to burnout or errors. For the Business: Poor multilingual support can result in lower CSAT scores, higher churn, and missed opportunities in non-English-speaking markets.Request: to have the auto translations applying to converted conversations.
