    Channel-Aware Reply Experience for AgentsSubmitted

    Hello, I’d like to share a small product idea based on our day-to-day experience using Intercom across multiple channels. It’s meant as an observation from the agent side and something that could potentially improve the support experience.Our team handles conversations via email, Messenger, and WhatsApp, and each channel naturally requires a different communication style. Emails tend to be more formal and structured, Messenger is more friendly and conversational, and WhatsApp usually calls for very short, informal messages that closely match the customer’s tone.While Intercom clearly labels the channel (email, Messenger, WhatsApp), the reply environment itself looks the same across all channels. We’re getting feedback from the team that this makes it harder to mentally switch context, especially when handling multiple conversations across channels in parallel.It could be really helpful if the UI subtly adapted to the channel — for example through different backgrounds, colors, or visual cues — to create a more immersive experience for agents. This would help them immediately “feel” whether they are replying in an email-like context or a chat-based one, and avoid accidentally writing an email-style reply in WhatsApp (or the other way around).Overall, we think this kind of channel-aware UI could improve response quality, reduce cognitive load for agents, and make multi-channel support smoother.I’m sharing this as an idea and a food for thought rather than a concrete request. If helpful, I’d be happy to provide more context or examples from our team’s experience.Best regards,Saphia from MyCamper

    Multi-brand support for News Center (Proactive Support Plus)Submitted

    Feature request: Multi-brand support for News Center (Proactive Support Plus)Intercom provides strong multi-brand capabilities for the Help Center, allowing each brand to have: Its own domain Individual styling A distinct customer-facing experience This is a key and highly valuable feature for companies operating multiple brands within a single Intercom workspace.Current limitationIn contrast, the News Center currently supports only a single instance: Only one News Center can be defined Styling and branding apply globally It is not possible to create brand-specific News Centers This creates an inconsistency in multi-brand setups.Why this is importantFor multi-brand companies, this limitation makes it difficult to: Communicate brand-specific news and announcements Maintain consistent branding per brand Use the News Center as a dedicated communication channel Customers from different brands may see: Irrelevant announcements Incorrect branding Mixed messaging across brands Requested enhancementWe propose enabling multi-brand support for the News Center, similar to the Help Center, including: Multiple News Centers per workspace Brand-specific domains Independent styling and configuration per News Center Brand-specific News content How this would support our workflowWith multi-brand News Centers, we could: Align News communication with each brand’s identity Deliver targeted, relevant announcements Use Proactive Support Plus consistently across all brands Scale customer communication in complex, multi-brand environments This would complete Intercom’s multi-brand story and significantly increase the value of Proactive Support Plus for enterprise customers.

    Advanced layout & branding options for News Center (Proactive Support Plus)Submitted

    Feature request: Advanced layout & branding options for News Center (Proactive Support Plus)The News Center is used as a standalone, customer-facing page and should support the same level of branding, layout flexibility, and visual consistency as other Intercom surfaces.Current limitationThe News Center currently offers very limited layout and branding options: No configurable Hero block (headline, description, visual focus) No ability to integrate or style a Hero section similar to the Help Center No support for custom fonts No option to configure a favicon Overall layout flexibility is limited As a result, the News Center cannot be fully aligned with a company’s corporate identity or visual standards.Why this is importantWhen operating the News Center as a standalone page, companies expect to: Clearly communicate context and purpose via a Hero section Apply their brand typography Use a custom favicon for recognition and professionalism Maintain a consistent look & feel across Help Center, product, and other customer-facing pages Without these options, the News Center feels visually disconnected and less suitable for official communication.Requested enhancementWe propose extending the News Center layout and branding configuration to include: A configurable Hero block (headline, text, optional background/image) Styling and layout options for the Hero block (similar to Help Center) Support for custom fonts Ability to define a custom favicon Greater flexibility in overall layout structure How this would support our workflowThese enhancements would enable us to: Present News in a more structured and engaging way Fully align the News Center with our brand guidelines Use the News Center as a professional, standalone communication hub Improve customer trust and recognition

    Cookie consent support for News Center (Proactive Support Plus)Submitted

    Feature request: Cookie consent support for News Center (Proactive Support Plus)The News Center, as part of the Proactive Support Plus add-on, can be operated as a standalone, publicly accessible page (e.g. https://eu.intercom.news/brand-name).Current limitationAt the moment, the News Center does not support a cookie consent banner: There is no documented or configurable cookie banner setting There is no option to submit a custom cookie consent script via Intercom Support In contrast, for the Help Center, cookie consent managers can be implemented by submitting a custom script through Intercom Support, which is then applied to the Help Center.This option is currently not available for the News Center.Why this is importantFor companies operating in the EU, a cookie consent manager is mandatory when cookies or tracking technologies are used.Without the ability to implement a cookie consent solution, companies cannot: Operate the News Center in a GDPR-compliant manner Use the News Center as an official communication channel Roll out Proactive Support Plus safely in regulated environments Requested enhancementWe propose extending the News Center configuration to support cookie consent by either: Providing a native cookie banner in the News Center settings, or Allowing custom cookie consent scripts to be submitted and applied, similar to the Help Center setup How this would support our workflowThis enhancement would enable us to: Operate the News Center legally and compliantly in the EU Use Proactive Support Plus without legal workarounds Maintain a consistent compliance approach across Help Center and News Center Reduce legal and operational risks for EU-based customers

    Custom footer configuration for News Center (Proactive Support Plus)Submitted

    Feature request: Custom footer configuration for News Center (Proactive Support Plus)The News Center, which is part of the Proactive Support Plus add-on, can be used as a standalone page (e.g. https://eu.intercom.news/brand-name) to publish News and announcements.Current limitationUnlike the Help Center, the News Center does not currently support a configurable footer.There is no option to add company-specific information such as: Legal notice / imprint Privacy policy links Company details Why this is importantWhen the News Center is operated as an independent, publicly accessible page, this creates a compliance gap in the EU, where an imprint (Impressum) is legally required.Without the ability to add a custom footer, companies cannot: Meet EU legal requirements Align the News Center with their corporate standards Use the News Center confidently as a standalone communication channel Requested enhancementWe propose extending the News Center configuration to allow a custom, freely configurable footer, comparable to the footer settings available in the Help Center.The footer should support: Custom text Links (e.g. imprint, privacy policy) Basic formatting How this would support our workflowThis enhancement would enable us to: Operate the News Center as a compliant standalone page Use Proactive Support Plus for official customer communication in the EU Maintain consistency between Help Center and News Center Reduce legal and operational risks

    Domain-based audience targeting for News (Proactive Support Plus)Submitted

    Feature request: Domain-based audience targeting for News (Proactive Support Plus)The Proactive Support Plus add-on allows us to send News messages to customers and visitors, which is extremely valuable for sharing release notes, product updates, and important announcements.In our setup, we manage multiple brands within a single Intercom workspace, with the Messenger installed on different domains per brand.Example use case Brand A: help.brand-a.example Brand B: help.brand-b.example When publishing News (e.g. release notes or service notifications), it is essential to ensure that each message is only shown to the relevant brand audience, based on the domain where the Messenger is loaded.A practical audience rule would be: Page URL contains help.brand-a.example Current limitationAt the moment, News Audience Rules do not support filtering by page URL or domain.This makes it difficult to reliably scope News messages to a specific brand and increases the risk of showing irrelevant or incorrect information to customers.Requested enhancementWe propose extending News Audience Rules with a condition that allows filtering by: Page URL or Messenger domain How this would support our workflowThis enhancement would enable us to: Send brand-specific News messages (release notes, announcements, service updates) Avoid customer confusion in multi-brand environments Use one Intercom workspace efficiently without manual workarounds Scale proactive customer communication in a clean and structured way

    Clickable Ticket Number Links in Notes/CommentsSubmitted

    Intercom currently lacks the ability to automatically convert typed ticket numbers within notes or comments into clickable links that direct to the referenced ticket. Similar to how platforms like Zendesk utilize a #ticketnumber syntax (e.g., #12345), agents should be able to type a ticket number, and have it automatically become a hyperlinked reference to that specific ticket.While it's possible to link tickets programmatically via the API's linked_objects functionality or to manually type "see ticket 12345", these methods do not provide the seamless, in-context navigation that a clickable link offers. Agents currently have to manually search for a ticket number if they want to access a related ticket mentioned in a note. Why this would be a useful feature:1. Enhanced Internal Collaboration: Agents often need to reference other (duplicated or) related conversations or issues. Clickable links would significantly streamline this process, allowing team members to quickly jump between interconnected tickets, understand the full context of an issue, and collaborate more efficiently.2. Improved Agent Efficiency: Eliminating the need to copy-paste ticket URL’s or use the search function to find a referenced ticket saves valuable time for agents, allowing them to focus more on resolving customer issues.3. Better Context and Handoffs: When handing off a conversation or escalating an issue, having instant access to related tickets via embedded links ensures that the next agent has all the necessary background information at their fingertips without extra effort.4. Streamlined Workflow: It integrates seamlessly into an agent's natural workflow when documenting conversations or providing internal updates, making cross-referencing a natural and intuitive part of their daily tasks.5. Other than existing options: While there are some options for linking tickets to another ticket. The described function above is different to a tracker ticket, a back office ticket or a side conversation.
