    Allow routing “Continue on WhatsApp” to different numbers based on customer country or other attributesSubmitted

    Currently, the “Continue on WhatsApp” action always routes the customer to a single WhatsApp number configured in Settings → Channels → WhatsApp → Switch from Messenger to WhatsApp (one number per workspace).This creates a limitation for companies operating in multiple countries with different WhatsApp numbers per region. There is no way to direct customers to their corresponding local number, which negatively impacts both customer experience and operational efficiency.Problem:If a business uses different WhatsApp numbers per country, all customers are still redirected to the same number, regardless of their location or attributes. This can lead to:Customers contacting the wrong regional team Delays in response times Fragmented conversations and routing issuesSuggested improvement:Allow agents or automation rules to select which WhatsApp number is used when triggering “Continue on WhatsApp”.For example:Route based on customer attributes (e.g., country, language, region) Allow rules in workflows to define the destination number Allow agents to manually choose the WhatsApp number when using the “Use Continue on WhatsApp” action in conversationsThis last point would already be a significant improvement, as it would give support teams immediate control to route customers to the correct local number during live conversations.This would enable businesses to:Maintain local communication channels Improve response times and routing accuracy Preserve a better customer experience across regions

    Feature Request: Auto-Populate Case/Ticket Numbers in Macros and Automated VerbiageSubmitted

     We propose adding the ability to auto-populate case or ticket numbers in macros and automated verbiage within Intercom. This feature would streamline communication with customers, improve case tracking, and enhance the overall support experience.Problem StatementIntercom currently allows for auto-population of customer profile data (e.g., "Dear [FirstName]"), which is a valuable feature for personalized communication. However, there is no option to auto-fill case or ticket numbers in messages.This creates the following challenges: Inefficient Workflow: Agents must manually copy and paste ticket numbers into messages, adding time to each interaction. Customer Confusion: Customers are not consistently provided with ticket numbers, making it harder for them to reference their cases. Tracking Issues: Without ticket numbers in customer communications, it is harder to trace cases when customers follow up or escalate issues. Proposed SolutionIntroduce a placeholder variable for case or ticket numbers (e.g., [ticketNumber]) that can be used in macros, templates, and automated responses.Feature Details: Dynamic Placeholder for Ticket Numbers Allow macros to include a new variable, [ticketNumber], which automatically inserts the associated ticket ID. Example: “If you need anything else, please reach out to support and reference case number [ticketNumber].” Customizable Format Allow administrators to customize the display format of the ticket number (e.g., "Case #12345" or "Reference ID: ABCD1234"). Integration with Automation Ensure ticket numbers can also be used in automated workflows, such as follow-up messages or escalation responses. Consistency Across Channels Include this feature for all communication channels supported by Intercom, such as email, chat, and in-app messaging. Use Case ExampleAn agent resolves a customer issue and applies a macro that says:“Thank you for reaching out. If you need further assistance, please contact us and reference case number [ticketNumber].”Instead of manually entering the ticket number, the macro dynamically fills in the unique case number associated with the conversation, ensuring accuracy and saving time. When the customer follows up, referencing the ticket number allows the agent to quickly locate the case.Expected Benefits Improved Efficiency: Reduces manual effort by auto-filling ticket numbers. Speeds up response times for agents. Enhanced Customer Experience: Provides customers with clear reference information for their cases. Reduces frustration during follow-ups or escalations. Better Case Tracking: Simplifies case identification for both agents and customers. Improves consistency and accuracy in support communications. This feature would deliver immediate value by addressing a widespread operational challenge.
