Inbox

what I want to achieve is to make the chat window always visible no need any button/widget to open the chat. 

We're a pretty small support team here at Tiller and we're thinking about how best to increase our efficiency in 2023. I'll share some context, but am really looking for insight into how others are doing this / set up to see if that inspires us to change some aspects of our process.  We have our inbox organized into about 5 teams, that are sort of specific to product area. E.g. billing team, bank data feeds team, workflows/tools/templates team and so on. We have about ~400 new conversations a week. Our average hours to close a conversation (not including those escalated to one of our vendors that generally will take much longer) is about 25 hours. We don't offer live chat and our average first response time is about 2 hours.  To help us set goals and boundaries on expected workload each day we have " catch up thresholds" - each team has a specific threshold based on the urgency/type of issue. Bank data feeds issues are our highest priority and during our high

We have recently started using tickets and the reporting doesn’t seem to make sense. When conversation is started, everyone on the team will get a notification. Once someone on the team responds to the conversation, it is automatically assigned to that person. In the past, we would unassign a conversation before closing to make sure everyone would get an audible ding if the person replied to the conversation. If the conversation was still assigned to the teammate who originally spoke with the customer, only that person would get a notification. We have been doing the same thing with tickets and unassigning it once the conversation is closed. The issue now is that the tickets are showing up as unassigned in the reporting so we don’t know who took care of the issue unless we go into each ticket. Why is “unassigned” showing up as the teammate who took care of the ticket? How do we make sure everyone gets a notification when a new conversation or email comes in? How do we make sure the tea

Hi Team,I’m Darshan Hiranandani, in the process of migrating our current rules for automatically closing conversations (like those for spam and notifications) to the new workflow settings. However, I’m having trouble finding the appropriate action for this task.Could anyone offer suggestions on how to configure workflows to automatically close conversations based on specific message types? If you have any tips or know where I might find the relevant action or setting, your input would be greatly appreciated.Thanks in advance for your help!RegardsDarshan Hiranandani

I need to know how the use of snooze has impacted my average resolution time, specifically the additional time it has added (the time the chat was in Snooze) from the moment an agent was assigned until the closure.What is the best way to create a report that provides me with this information? I couldn't find a filter that gives me the average snooze time in conversations. To be more specific, I need to know how long my resolutions would take without the snoozes.And if possible, I would like to know the total time spent in snooze.

Is there any way to add some kind of visual alert in the chats to show when the time has exceeded the defined SLA?For example, if the response time is 1 minute and that time passes without a response from the customer, a red alert would appear in the chat to notify. Something like this example:Green: time is okayOrange: attentionRed: out of time  

When a user uploads an attachment in a conversation, we observed that:The webhook payload contains an html string with the file URL somehwere inside it: "body": "<div class=\"intercom-container\"><img src=\"https://downloads.intercomcdn.com/i/o/112xxxxx53/131xxxx01249e994131/image.png?expires=1722233700&signature=8a70c55c0ed3000c00ae533xxxxxxxxebc3407b10136029aff26bd5f3c3\"></div>"   In custom actions using `Last Message Body` we get "payload": "[Image \"some-file.png?expires=1722255300&signature=f0e6d92d99861c0046910ace7821c80c06850fad91498faxxxxxxxxxxxxxx\"]", We ask:How to get the file url as plaintext, not html, in webhook how to get complete file url in custom actions When user uploads multiple files we get multiple webhook events - and not a single one with all the files inside of it. It means we have to somehow wait and aggregate webhooks, but we wouldn’t know when to stop. Is there a way to receive multiple files on a webhook? We couldn’t get mu

Hey! I configured Intercom using instructions for the Angular Web app. We have requirements to support visitors without logins and users with logins. So I followed your instructions and implemented it like this: // In the AppComponent which is the root component, I added this codeimport {Intercom} from '@intercom/messenger-js-sdk';@Component({ selector: 'my-app', templateUrl: './app.component.html', styleUrls: ['./app.component.scss']})export class AppComponent implements OnInit { ngOnInit(): void { this.initIntercom(); } private initIntercom(): void{ Intercom({app_id: environment.intercomSettings.app_id}); }}// We are calling the boot method when the user successfully logs inboot({ 'app_id': environment.intercomSettings.app_id, 'id': this.userApi.currentUser.id, 'user_id': String(this.userApi.currentUser.id), 'name': this.userApi.currentUser.name, 'email': this.userApi.currentUser.email, 'created_at': Math.floor(new

Save button is greyed out in the authentication section even though I have entered all the values  

 Hey All! I have extracted the conversation data using Intercom REST API (link) to our data warehouse. The use case is that I want to build a First response time (Bot inbox time excluded) metric from the Intercom reporting in our tableau report. However, we are not sure which fields to use for the calculation. I do have a field named  time_to_admin_reply but it includes bot inbox time. Additionally, I am not extracting conversation parts as it is very time-consuming. It would be great if anyone could help me with this. Also, let me know if more information is needed. Thanks in Advance.

Hey Everyone,I have a question. We have a few customers that CC everyone humanly possible when they submit an inquiry. They add our support email, several of our employees, several of their employees, sometimes even a kitchen sink (with an email address). Due to this when we reply its chaos. We are currently manually removing the cc’d emails but the communication is very frequent (dozens of times a day). Is there a workflow we can create that IF an email comes from say BOB and his 37 cc’d friends, we can remove those 37 friends automatically before we reply to the inquiry?

Is there an easy way to get a custom report of conversations with linked tickets? The data export for conversations does not include any columns on tickets like ticket ID, etc., and the data export for tickets does not include a linked conversation ID column. 

Hello , I’d like to ask if i can integrate my own chatbot into intercom so i can assign some conversations to be answered by my bot

  Is there a way for a custom action to interact with an application in a help desk?  For example, I have a created custom action and a created and added application in a tab. During a conversation, if I activate the custom action on a message(which contains the order number), a request goes to the backend. Can I somehow trigger the application in the current conversation from the backend, passing and displaying the order data there?

Hi, I use intercom to chat with my clients on android and iOS. I have noticed that after a few days, on the android device we get clients being prompted to send a message instead of continuing with the previous conversation. is there a way to prevent users from opening these new conversations? I have turned it off in messenger setttings and mobile SDKs but even still after a few weeks, the recent conversations changes to send us a message and starts a new conversation all together  

Hi! We’re trying to resolve an inconvenience in our Salesforce org where if a customer replies to an Intercom conversation via email, their response creates a new case in Salesforce instead of getting added to the existing case. I could set up a flow in Salesforce to associate these new email responses to their existing case if we could get the conversation Id into the email subject. Is there a way to do this? Or has anyone else found a better way to tackle this in Intercom/Salesforce? 

Our website is connected to Intercom, customer service sends messages, and it takes 8 seconds for the backend to receive them. What is the reason and how can we speed up?We are already the highest level members

Hi! Is there a way to Intercom to disable email notifications to practitioners that they have a new message in the portal if the only new message is a CSAT rating request? Otherwise would like to submit the product request 💜Thank you! 

Can I create a back-office ticket that has a template for required information?Name:Phone number:Email:

Sometimes intercom associates conversations with the wrong companies. How can I correct that?  Product Documentation says:Conversations and tickets are associated with companies in different ways: Conversations can be associated with multiple companies. They are associated with companies through the conversation participants. When you search by company, we will find all conversations that have at least one participant from that company. Tickets can only be associated with one company. You can choose which company a ticket is associated with when it’s created and change it later in the Help Desk. We will find all tickets that have been explicitly associated with the company you selected.

HiI was wondering if anyone has stumbled upon the issue with tickets having a requirement for input, like thisbut when they are not filled in, the conversation still gets closed because we use “disable customer reply” and turned off duplicate conversations. Is there any way to define the state of a ticket so you can design a workflow to send a message to the customer: “Hey, you don’t seem to have filled in your details, do you need help with anything? when they input is required but they have not typed in anything?I know the function “collect customer” reply in the workflow can be used for replies, but not for tickets that are not filled in by the customer. Is there any way to track this and nudge the customer based on it?I am grateful for any tips or help!​

Hello, I am not sure if I’m missing something but I encountered a bizzare behaviour using Intercom classes when trying to login an Identified user. Preface: I’m using Qt for Android and integrating Intercom purely on the Android side. In my login function, I get passed user attributes from downstream. These include base attributes as well as additional custom attributes. In the end I end up with something like.UserAttributes userAttributes = builder.build();Log.i(TAG, "Intercom login userattributes: " + userAttributes.toString()); Which prints out: I MyIntercom: Intercom login userattributes: UserAttributes{attributes={name=Last, First, email=email@provider.com, userId=001abc}, customAttributes={attr1=value1}, companies=[]} Then I tried to create a Registration class to perform login as:Registration registration = Registration.create().withUserAttributes(userAttributes); But this registration class does not have email nor userId populated? I already called the withEmail() and withUserI

I’m also interested in fetching other report metrics (Median response time, New Conversations) from my account to my app and I’m confused about the API Reporting Docs. I’m attempting to use the Node SDK. I’m not sure if I’m structuring the query correctly or using the proper conversations methods, but I’m getting an undefined in my console. The env variables are properly being read, I’ve tested them in my console. In the code below, I’m trying to get conversation rating from the past 7 days. import { Client, Operators } from "intercom-client";import * as dotenv from "dotenv";dotenv.config();const client = new Client({tokenAuth: { token: `${process.env.ACCESS_TOKEN}` },});client.useRequestOpts({baseURL: ‘https://api.eu.intercom.ioconversations’,});// Get today's dateconst today = new Date();// Calculate the date 7 days agoconst sevenDaysAgo = new Date(today.getTime() - 7 * 24 * 60 * 60 * 1000);// Convert the date to a Unix timestamp (in seconds)const sevenDaysAgoTimestamp = Math.floor(s

When closing a ticket, there is a new box that says ‘leave ticket in’. What does this mean?
