Inbox

When messages are sent via email, any signature footers (particularly complex HTML signatures) cause a lot of unnecessary bloat. Appreciate the reasons for not rendering the HTML, however ideally we'd like to strip out the footer but still be able to access it when viewing the "raw email". There are a couple of open source projects that aim to facilitate removing signatures:https://github.com/mailgun/talon/p>https://github.com/Smile-SA/signatureremover/p> Would this be a feature that Intercom is considering/would consider adding? 

Hi everyone / Intercom Team,I’m reporting a persistent issue regarding our workspace login process. Since last Saturday, several of our customer support agents have been unable to log in because the verification codes (OTP) are never delivered to our email addres.Problem Details: Issue: Verification codes for 2FA/Login are not arriving. Affected Users: Multiple support executives/agents. Duration: Ongoing since Saturday  Troubleshooting already done: Checked Spam/Junk folders (nothing there). Tried "Resend Code" multiple times with no success. This is significantly impacting our response times as a portion of our team is completely locked out of the platform.Is anyone else experiencing delays with Intercom’s em

Hi there, We’re currently using another provider, but we’re interested in moving over to Intercom. We like the UI difference, and the ease of usage throughout the app. However, I noticed when I text the number I call, it doesn’t send a text message to the “ticket”. Would I be able to get the calling number, work with the SMS texting number? Otherwise, it seems a bit impractical to communicate with clients, where they don’t know which is our actual company number. For example, should my website have the two numbers listed? That comes off a bit misleading. What’s a good work around?

Just released Conversation Metrics — an app that brings per-conversation performance stats into your Intercom inbox sidebar:First agent response time Median agent response time Time to assignment Customer avg response time Longest wait (with snippet showing where the delay happened) Snooze analytics (who snoozed, how many times, total duration) Time to close Message count ReopensHere's what it looks like:  It's free and available on Intercom AppStore: https://www.intercom.com/app-store/?app_package_code=conversation-metrics-vvnbHappy to

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

Just released an app that exports Intercom conversations to styled PDFs — includes metadata, attachments, participant info, and side conversations.It's free: https://www.intercom.com/app-store/?app_package_code=export-conversations-wtc5&search=export%20Here it an example: Happy to hear feedback or feature requests. 

We have one workspace but multiple brands. I’ve been trying to get an answer on this question but the person helping me just stopped replying. And we need to urgently resolve this issue.We want to use app script to forward emails because we have complex filtering requirements. The issue is that when we send it via app script, it goes to the default workspace instead of the brand that’s sending the email. Which also means we are replying back from the wrong email.I tried using the workflow automation to fix this but it will only allow me to set a specific inbox, and while we have brand specific inboxes it doesn’t resolve the actual issue. I don’t see a way to set the brand using workflow automation.An agent told me “If you need the per-brand forwarding address again: edit the brand address → change/disable receiving → choose “Set up forwarding” and the unique @intercom-mail.com for that brand will be shown again so you can copy it, then re‑verify.”However,

Hi, I want to grab the #ticket number in my macro so I can use it, but I can’t find it in the existing tokens available.   

 Hey everyone! We’re using Intercom for both live chat and longer ticket-style support.A challenge we’re facing is that conversations often remain open, but the agent who was handling the chat goes offline (end of shift). In theory someone else could jump in, but in practice each teammate already has a high ticket load, so constant handovers are not realistic.What’s the best practice workflow for this in Intercom?

Hello support, We are running into a recurring issue where intercom occasionally drops attachments. We are able to download the attachment only by going to the actual email that’s sent, but not through the intercom app itself. See attached screenshot. The file in this example was 1mb in size. We appreciate any help you can provide.  

When we receive a new ticket by email it only shows the email and the status of this ticket, but not the title or description or any other attribute set, so it's hard to follow and reply to, unless you open the app. Is there any way we can set it up?We only receive this:Thanks in advance.

Hey! I discovered that the Side conversations option allows to send messages to Slack—neat! However, it is not straight forward to later on find the conversations that have side conversations. Any ideas of how this could be done? In short, this is the workflow that we are aiming at: When we need to ping someone from the team for a quick question, start side conversation and set message to selected Slack channel (this part is covered) Then find a way to easily keep track of this conversation (or any conversation that as a side conversation) within Intercom, like using Views or something similar. (This is not done!)I figured it could be done using Views filters (like when we filter conversations that have tickets, etc.), but I failed to get it working. Any thoughts, tips or tricks?

I can create a tracker ticket and link user raised conversations. Can add a note that I can then copy down to all linked conversations.How could I add a comment on the tracker (parent) that actually creates that same note as an email in all the linked conversations?  

To be able to still export the covnersation that has been merged with.Currently, there’s no button above once you merged the conversation.

Hi Guys,Please is there a workflow I can implement if there is a spike in interaction that I am notified?

a lot of inbound emails come in to my support mailboxes with multiply people on the email and I would like us to send out the CSAT email to all people in the conversation.

We often get phone calls (outside of intercom) from users who belong to a company but who are not currently a user in Intercom where it is not relevant to attach the issue to them, but instead we want to attach it to the company as a whole. Is there some way to do this beyond making a User version of every company for this purpose?

I'm developing react native app using intercom (@intercom/intercom-react-native v5.0.0). Currently I'm facing problem that's intercom doesn't update for new message coming. Only update when I open conversation from launcher or kill the app and open again. I already set up push notification for the app and can receive it when app in background. Please help me

I have admin(sender) and customer role, the admin can send message to customer from my app-web, my backend service is using the https://api.intercom.io/messages api to create a conversation, After creating a message/conversation, I want the message to be assigned to the admin only if the customer reply, since the admin who initiate the conversation. I tried adding create_conversation_without_contact_reply property, however It doesn’t work because it assign unnecessary conversations to admin(sender) since the customer may not reply. Could I create a workflow related with “When a customer sends their first message” trigger? or how could I solve this issue?

We use round robin, which works well generally for us (doing live chat, ~2/3 min response times), but a pain point is that when team members go on 'away' & 'reassign' modes, reassigned conversations go into the generic team inbox rather than being assigned to an individual within the team. This means my team have to constantly keep an eye out for a little '1' on the team inbox number, which is frustrating and it's easy for things to get missed! Would love for them to just be assigned to a member of the team who is online, in the same round robin style and am not quite sure I understand why you'd want it to be assigned to the generic team... Or is there something I've missed?! Have spoken to the support team about this a couple of times over the last year and they've said there isn't a way to do it, so just wondering what others do!  Thanks! :)
