Inbox

Hey there, i’m curious - intercom does detect quoted parts of mails correctly. It always shows the vertical line(s) on the left to mark the quoted parts of a mail.  However, for some mails, its not possible to collapse the quoted parts. They are shown always. That means I will have to scroll about 2-5 viewports up to see what customer has written. If its a discussion with many mails, the total height gets sometimes 20 or more heights of my browser window. I’m sure thats a bug and intercom should be easily able to hide/collapse those parts like it does sometimes and indicated by the three dots at the bottom. Please fix! Its a mess reading longer threads.BRChristian

We want to export full extracts of our conversations from our workspace - how can I do this?

For training purposes, we would like to export macros into a sheet or a CSV so that new teammates can use a Ctrl-F to find keywords. This would help them find keyword, not just in the macro title, but also the body text , and get up to speed quicker on our common replies. I'm wondering if we'd need to manually create a spreadsheet or if there is a faster way to pull this info from Intercom!

When receiving a message in Intercom and then a Slack notification, half the time we will see “[Customer] started a new conversation” then block quote the body of the textThen the other half of the time we just get“Received participant added notification”Support wasn’t really helpful and said it’s been backlogged, but I see there is a post from over a year ago asking about this. No interest in Zapier, as when the notifications are working, it is as desired.

HiThe different notification sounds inbox is not hearable when using Intercom in a area when there is noise around chat agents. You need to add some real/longer alarm sounds, that also can be configured to repeat after x sec, if incoming chat not answered. 

Has anyone cracked the limitation of customers being unsnoozed in a workflow? I know that if the conversation is snoozed via the workflow, the reassignment to an agent is not possible. Has anyone come up with a workaround?

Hey everyone,We’re looking for insights on how to effectively use Intercom’s ticket tracker to manage feature requests and bug reports. Here’s our current setup, and we’d love to hear your thoughts, suggestions, or any case studies from the community!Our Current ApproachWe have a module in our app called "Customer Management," which frequently receives customer requests for enhancements and bug fixes. To streamline tracking, we created a tracker ticket type named "CRM Module Enhancement Requests."Each request is logged as a separate ticket with a specific title, such as:🔹 Customer’s Address adding feature🔹 Customer’s purchase profile Feature🔹 Customer’s Phone Number edit option  Our Goals✅ Identify which modules receive the most customer requests (daily/weekly/monthly)✅ Determine the most frequently requested features within each module✅ Set up reports and charts categorizing requests by business type and feature title, using customer request count as the baseLooking for Suggestions

How can I automate re-assigning chats that wake from snooze if the agent is set to Away & Reassigning? It seems like this should be built into the functionality of re-assigning tickets when an agent is Away & Reassigning...

I’m exploring ways to apply a First Response Time SLA specifically for our Tier 2 team, and wanted to get your thoughts on the approach I’ve come up with. Would this logic work in Intercom? Apply the FRT SLA when the conversation is first assigned to Tier 1 (CS) using a workflow. When the conversation is escalated to Tier 2, apply a Time to Close SLA (e.g. 1 hour), treating that as a proxy for FRT — since Intercom doesn’t allow multiple FRTs per conversation. Create a second workflow triggered by “Teammate sends any message”, with an audience rule that checks if the conversation is assigned to Tier 2. This workflow would then: Override or stop the Time to Close SLA Log that the Tier 2 “first response” has been sent This setup would essentially let us measure Tier 2’s responsiveness separately — even though it’s not tracked natively in Intercom as a second FRT. Would this approach work as intended? Or is there a more reliable way to simulate separate SLA tracking for mult

Hello team!We are deep diving into each agent conversations at the moment. There are patterns and questions regarding found patterns as below 1.) Understand that once agent put their status in “Away mode”, agent will be unassigned to the conversationsMay I know where the conversations will be sorted into please. Is it the main Inbox of the agent’s team? I saw when this happens. The CS supervisor would need to reassign the conversations to other agents manually. Is there anyway that it could be set to reassign automatically instead? if so, would like to know how to set?2.) Snooze featureWhen the conversations has been snoozed using the snooze feature in Intercom. I would like to understand. Which option teammate should select in below picture to prioritize the snoozed conversations to be on top? Appreciate all of your guidances. Any best practices please kindly advise Thank you very much! :)Ploy

I’m aware that we can create Jira tickets from Intercom. But can the other way around be done?I’m just testing this intergration for my company. So far I’ve manually linked a Jira ticket to a ticket on Intercom.But I’m looking for ways for a Jira ticket to create an Intercom ticket.

How can I make SMS, WhatsApp, and email channels appear in the Unassigned inbox?

My team routinely snoozes tickets to follow up on in several days or the following week, and we know we can view those conversations anytime from the snoozed section of our inbox. However, is there a way to see when we snoozed a conversation until? If not, it’d be helpful to be able to hover over a message preview and see something like “Snoozed until 7/5 11:00 am,” for example. Or to click into a conversation and see that info on the side or under the ellipsis at the top.

Hey everyone!We’re currently exploring solutions for multi-lingual support within Intercom and I’d love to hear from anyone using third-party apps for Inbox translations.We’ve tried a few options from the Intercom App Store, but have run into issues with both translation quality and functionality. I’d really appreciate it if anyone could share their experience—good or bad—with third-party tools they’ve used to manage translations directly in the Inbox.We also beta tested Intercom’s native AI-powered auto-translation and found that the translation quality was quite good—better than some other options we’ve tried. However, the current feature setup makes it unusable for our needs. Right now, it applies translation settings workspace-wide, and what we really need is granular control at the agent or team level. We have multiple teams using the same workspace, and automatic translation would be disruptive for some of them.What I’m looking for:✅ Works with Intercom Inbox✅ High-quality transl

SLA’s in custom reports are very limiting. We support 2 types of technologies. To track which, we use Ticket Attributes. Product A or Product B. I want to run a report on how many tickets of Product A missed their SLA, simple.I can’t though, when I create the report and select ANY SLA related filter, all ticket attribute filters are gone. Due to the complexity of the products our support teams heavily rely on Ticket Attributes and our customers rely on us to respond in a timely fashion.How can this be resolved?

We’re using the latest intercom_flutter SDK in our Flutter app, along with FCM integration.When sending a Mobile Push notification via Intercom, tapping the notification causes the app to restart — showing the splash screen — instead of directly opening the app.This happens consistently across Android devices.We haven’t implemented any custom push handling and rely on Intercom’s default behavior.Is there a recommended setup to avoid the app restart? (e.g. launchMode, intent flags, or custom notification handling?)Thanks in advance!

Hello!  I have put in a lot of work the last couple months to optimize our Intercom Workspace as well as Fin AI. We are seeing great results with our AI optimization (15% increase in resolution rates and a 21% decrease un unaswered questions!). I typically monitor the unassigned inbox to identify conversations that did not get routed through a workflow and then I add logic/configurations to ensure it doesn’t happen again. Everything is flowing as it should, except we continue to get spam/marketing emails to unassigned very consistently. Typically these are not assigned to a team and I just close them out. My question is, how do others handle these types of emails or conversations? Is there a way to do this with Fin but not use our resolutions? I want to maximize our teammate efficiency so I don’t want them to route to a team inbox where they spend time simply closing the conversations.  Any insight or recommendations are appreciated!

Can I automate the download of the calculated metrics per conversation file to S3, as shown in the Report Creation section? Just to clarify, I’m referring specifically to the metrics data displayed on the report dashboard—for phone calls, emails, and chats—not the raw conversation data. I’ve already reviewed the document about exporting raw data to S3.

I’m wanting to set up different brands so when a client emails a specific email, it assigns to that brand, and it’s that email that is the default email. My issue is, I’m wanting to set role or individual restrictions on who can reply to certain brands. Im not find any help articles or post about this. Is this possible? 

Hi, I had a quick query but can see any answer or similar query. I want my custom answers used only. It seems I may need to activate FIN Ai which is fine, but I dont really need it to resolve my customers queries for me, I would like to know if there is a way to prevent Fin from resolving conversations? 

Hi, When i export intercom conversation data to s3, it is missing the channel data, but the Channel data is missing but the Intercom docs says this should be included (see Available data points - https://www.intercom.com/help/en/articles/2046229-export-your-conversations-data). Please advise. Thanks
