Hello! 👋 Our Quality Assurance team has a strong focus on manually evaluating conversations handled only by our human teammates. At this time, Monitors will not pull conversations for review unless the following parameter is met:The conversation must include at least 2 messages from Fin and 2 messages from the customer. Would it be possible to not have this parameter in place? A substantial amount of our conversations (especially emails) do not involve Fin, and they are equally important for evaluating the overall Customer Service experience. Thank you! 😊
Right now, the Intercom help article editor doesn’t have spell check. You need to rely on extensions to see simple spelling errors. Request to add simple spell check functionality to the help article editor.
The styling options for Newsfeeds are so limited as to make it almost impossible for Newsfeeds to meet basic accessibility and usability requirements. For example:The link text in the header is always white, no matter what background color or image is shown behind it. So the header basically has to be a dark background. The footer is always white, so only a dark-color logo will show in the footer… which of course conflicts with the fact that only a light-color logo will work in the header. The uploaded logo image is so small as to be completely unreadable Author avatars show as… white text on a white background (?) so they basically just appear as blank white space in each post. There are no styling options at all for post content There is no way customize fonts There is no social button available for Instagram, for some reasonThis makes it very difficult for us to even adopt the Newsfeed feature at all. The Newsfeeds should be brought up to parity with the styling options available in Help Center (custom fonts, more color options, etc). Ideally styling could be configured globally and applied to all features (Help Center, Messenger, Newsfeed, etc), but that’s a longer-term dream :)
During product outages when the Messenger is unavailable - it makes it almost impossible to notify affected customers directly. Outbound messaging currently cannot filter by ticket status (for example, “Open” tickets). This makes it difficult to target only customers who currently have open support tickets.A solution would be:The ability to filter outbound audiences by ticket status (e.g., Open tickets).This would make it much easier to proactively communicate with affected customers during incidents
We are using intercom a lot and has been a great tool so far. However now that we are growing and our helpdesk is growing as well, we notice that the current way the navigation is setup becomes way too complex for our customers and even ourselves. Once somebody clicks on an article from the homepage of our documentation, they can't clearly see under which topic/parent that page belongs (besides the breadcrumbs). For example we could have the topic onboarding which involves 6 articles and a topic authorisations which can have 10 articles for each authorisation we offer. To navigate between articles onder 1 of these topics is currently not super straightforward. Long story short, what we are really hoping, as we don't want to have to migrate to another tool just for our helpdesk/docs; is if it would be possible to have a sidebar available in the documentation/helpdesk. This would allow people to know exactly where and under which hierarchy they are viewing an article and allows them to easily navigate between articles on certain topics without having to always navigate back to the homepage to find the relevant article. Here are a few examples of other companies that do have helpdesks/docs with a sidebar to show what I mean:- https://docs.birdie.so/birdie-docs- https://docs.northbeam.io/docs/getting-started-with-northbeam- https://academy.madgicx.com/lessons/facebook-dashboard So basically the sidebar allows you to see where and under which topic/subtopic you are viewing an article, plus it allows you to easily switch between articles from any topic from any page.Thanks in advance for any upvotes!💪🏼
It would be very helpful if Help Center articles could be automatically translated into supported languages when we change the language in edit mode. Ideally, when an admin switches the article language, the system would: Auto-generate a draft translation of the article content in the selected language Allow the admin to review and edit that translation Let us publish once the translation has been reviewed This would save time, improve consistency across languages, and make it easier to maintain multilingual content.
I would like to have the ability to change my own permissions if i have access to them.I fully understand that you should not be able to change settings or permissions if you do not have access. But I have full access in intercom but i'm unable to change anything for my self, so i have to ask another user to remove my seat.
I would like to be able to reply to an email and schedule send it for the morning. I am sometimes working late at night or I know the person I am emailing is on vacation and I don’t want to bother them. I would like to be able to schedule the email for another date/time and have it send then. I should be able to edit that email after I click “schedule” and make updates if I need to. There should also be an area where I can see all my scheduled emails. This is a feature that exists already in gmail and most other emailing platforms.
It would be good to have the ability to schedule emails sent from the inbox to allow forward planning of adhoc outreach.
добавить этот фильтр было бы очень удобно. мы в компании делаем результаты тегирования чатов за месяц, хотим тегировать польностью чаты
Currently, reports can show ticket metrics like “New tickets,” but there isn’t a way to report on how many tickets a specific teammate has created by ticket type (for example, Tracker tickets). You can only see the ones they are assigned to. It would be useful to add a report metric or breakdown that shows tickets created by each teammate, with the ability to filter by ticket type such as Tracker tickets. This would make it easier to measure individual contribution and track volume for internal ticket categories.
I want to be able to pull reports using criteria found in the “event history” of a ticket. For example, I have an agent who gets a ticket assigned via Balanced Assignment. He then goes in and manually changes Assignee: unassigned, and Team Inbox: unassigned. The activity appears in the event history of a ticket. I am not able to pull any data around actions that only appear in the event history. I can only pull data around tickets being reassigned, which is not helpful in this case. I also can’t use the filters around ‘current assignee’ because that has changed between the time of the action taking place and pulling the report, and is also not relevant to what I need to track. Use case: Agent is unassigning themselves from tickets they don’t know how to do. Create a report to track Tickets that have the action “X agent changed status from Assignee: X to Assignee: Unassigned”. That way I can then filter by ticket category or case type to understand product knowledge gaps and use for training purposes.
I was surprised to find out that if a participant of a ticket is changed, the CSAT still sends to the original person. For example, someone from our sales team might forward an email to us, and even though we've removed them and added the customer as the participant, the CSAT score will go to the original sender (in this case, the sales person). I was definitely surprised that it doesn't take into account the person who is actively the participant on the ticket, but I assumed the system was smart enough to pick up who the active participant is at the time of sending a CSAT survey.
The search is very basic and doesn't allow to even use operators likecontainsbeginsWithmatchesgreaterThanor even wildcards *, ?
The ProblemWhen customers reply to email conversations, their email client includes the entire previous thread below their new message — as virtually every email client does by default. Intercom's Inbox renders this quoted trail fully expanded, inline, for every single message in the conversation. The result is that a 6-reply email thread becomes an endlessly scrolling wall of duplicated text, where the same content is repeated over and over, growing exponentially with each reply.This makes it genuinely painful to work through email-based tickets. Instead of quickly scanning the latest reply at the top and moving on, agents have to scroll past pages of repeated content just to orient themselves. Multiply that across dozens or hundreds of tickets a day and you're looking at a real productivity hit — not to mention the mental fatigue of parsing the same text blocks repeatedly.Why This Is FrustratingEvery major email client and nearly every competing helpdesk platform handles this gracefully. Gmail, Outlook, Zendesk, Freshdesk, Help Scout — they all detect the quoted text delimiter and collapse it behind a simple "show quoted text" toggle or ellipsis. It's a solved problem. It has been a solved problem for over a decade.The fact that Intercom still displays raw, fully expanded email trails in 2026 is baffling. This isn't a complex engineering challenge. Email clients universally use standard markers for quoted text (> prefixes, --- Original Message --- delimiters, etc.). Detecting and collapsing these behind an expandable toggle is straightforward — it's the kind of thing a single engineer could prototype and ship in a day.What We'd ExpectQuoted email trail text should be collapsed by default in the Inbox conversation view. A simple "Show quoted text" or expand toggle (like Gmail's ellipsis ...) should let agents reveal the full trail when they actually need context. This should apply to all inbound email messages where quoted/forwarded content is detected.The ImpactThis affects every single team that handles email-based conversations or tickets in Intercom. It's not an edge case — it's the core workflow. For teams processing high volumes of email tickets, the lack of this basic functionality adds up to hours of wasted scrolling and lost focus every week.This feels like the definition of a quick win: low complexity, high impact, long overdue. We'd love to see it prioritized.
