Inbox

When new users signup, our registration process identifies a customer's value. We are looking to round robin higher-value customers among a specialized Sales Team. None of the customers have reached out to us at this point. Currently, the only way to do this is to use a Zap that identifies high-value customers and sends a message on behalf of the new user into Intercom in order to trigger the round robin. Any ideas will be greeted with smiley emojis!

HiI I'm noticing that replies to chats and emails have inconsistent 'from' fields when the replies come via email.I followed the directions here: https://www.intercom.com/help/en/articles/182-a-guide-to-sending-email-from-your-own-address/li>Everything on our domain (CNAME records, etc) is verified (green)We have a custom address set as our default for inbound (success@)We've selected the option to 'Use your domain and email addresses' on Settings->Email->Sender email addresses All of that said, when we conduct tests, sometimes replies are coming from the default email (success@), and sometimes they come from the responder (e.g. mike@).  We've noticed the only time we can reliably have emails sent from the individual (mike@) is when it's an outbound email and Mike specifically chooses mike@ as the sender. In all other cases -- replies to chats, replies to emails sent to our default inbound (success@) -- the replies come from the domain default (suc

HelloHow is it possible when I receive and email to say to the client : "Hello We get your question we come back to you as soon as possible" ? :)

I've built an app that is returning a list of items with a formatted date like 6 June 2022 12:02am. I format the date on the backend side, so it's based on server's timezone.How can I get the admin's timezone, and format the items based on admin local time? Thank you!

I want to add a user to a conversation & remove another user from a conversation - how do I do this?

I've been using the new UI for a while now and about 1-2 months ago I vaguely remember seeing an update on how to manage recipients in a conversation in the new UI. But then after that, I seem to have lost the ability to do that.Am I just not seeing where that option was moved to? Currently, I have to jump back to the original inbox to manage recipients.

My support team sitting on Intercom often needs to tag an individual from the product, or technology team to answer a question. How can i do this effectively?

In the old inbox we were able to add participants, and they would receive an email with all the conversation history and could respond to client from their email. In the new inbox if you add a person in the conversation they won't receive the conversation history until the client responds to the email first.

Maybe not a question as such but a feature request. I'd love for a pop-up to come up alerting you of someone being on 'away' prior to clicking confirm to assign. As we have 50+ employees working within Intercom, they don't know if each individual is working today so having a pop up state 'This agent is currently set to away, are you sure you want to assign this to them?' would help with that.

Is there anything on the roadmap that images in an email could be loaded instantly without having them just attached?

Hi,Is there a way to underline text when sending a reply in Inbox?I can only see an option to bold or italicise text, and the keyboard shortcut Ctrl + U does not seem to do anything. Thanks!

When can we expected to have the possiblity to forward email and to send emails to more than one receipients?

I basically need to duplicate all of my macros with slight edits depending on the team they are assigned to. They will be answers to the same questions, but the company name will be changed depending on the team (and maybe some very minor other changes). Since the macros will essentially be the same on each team, it would be helpful if I could title them the same thing.  Here's the problem: I do not want one team to be able to access the other team's macros. It will get way too confusing if everyone can access 2 almost duplicate macros for each macro. When I try to make a response only available for one of the teams, "Everyone" is still highlighted here (see screenshot). Therefore, even though I have separate macros per team, each team can access both macros.  I hope that makes sense!

I want the teams to only see their assigned messages, not all messages. I know that we can filter to show it as groups but we keep on being able to access the messages through the ALL inbox section.

Not delete notes, delete customer messages they have sent... with attachments of documents?

How do I search for conversations reported by users with domain name @abc.com ? We don't have companies configured in intercom and we have over 600,000 users. Intercom support is telling me that the only way to do this is to create companies and link all 600,000 users to the companies! That sounds very backwards and kinda defeats the point of having a ticketing system. Any basic ticketing system should have some filter/report to search for simple things like "Show me conversations where user's email contains @abc.com" and I find it astounding that Intercom does not have this basic functionality. Am I missing something here?

Hello, community. Love the notes, but the fact that they are "live" in the body of correspondence is creating a mess sometimes. I recently started to use JIRA to work with the user's cases. The good thing is that JIRA and conversations are cross-connected. You can leave a comment in the conversation, and it will be sent to the JIRA ticket and vice versa. The issue with any conversation, when we need to discuss the case with different teams etc is that now we have tons of comments right inside the dialogue with the user. Which is making all correspondence with the user very overloaded. Is there a way to keep notes outside the "body" of the chat with the user? Maybe an additional plugin or app. Thank you

My team currently categorizes conversations through conversation tags manually, and I would like to change this scenario, where the tool itself does the tagging automatically. I would like cases and examples of how I can do this. Can you give me some strength?

Lets say we have an external website that is associated with our main website. Our main website is what hosts Intercom. However, we want to put a "Contact Us" section and a link in our external website that redirects the user to a prepoulated message/bot. Is there a way to do this?

I just migrated to the new inbox, and it's pretty great so far, but I've not been able to find a way to edit user notes from it. The old inbox had this functionality. Now, I have to open the user's "contacts" profile in a separate tab, and then edit from there. Is this the only way to achieve this? Also, I was hoping with the new inbox there would be a way to delete user notes, but it doesn't seem that functionality has been added. Seems like a real oversight.

For example we request logs from our members as a .log file. I've added this so that I can even view it but I need to download it to my device which there is not an option for. Just takes me to a web link.

There are several instances on which Chat window is failed to load on ios and Android Both. The intercom SDK used are as follow:react-native wrapper : 3.0.4android : 12.4.1ios : 12.4.0 EditedIf anyone has faced same issue would love to hear what have you done to fix the same. Looking forward to hear.

Hi there, we have used intercom for years and need to re-strategize our support structure. We've grown a lot lately and now there are 15 of us in the queue (3 at a time) mainly working out of the "all" queue and sorting by waiting longest. We have two teams in Asia, and one in South America and we have 24/7 support. We're a B2B software product. Users are in our product much of the day and leads are handled outside of intercom.  Goals: Less unique support reps on tickets (currently too many people having to go back and read through comments and ask repeat questions)Keep response time the same or improve response time (15 median first, 5 minute median, 30 min average response time)Provide our higher paying clients faster support. Ex. if there is a case for a lower paying client which came in before a higher paying client, and none of them have a response yet, we'd want to work the case for the higher paying client first. Before we start building this, I'd love

Is there any way to go back to the old inbox ?

When we integrate the API into our app, there's a space in the conversation. Can anyone help me with how to fix this? Thank you
