Intercom Product Area

Hi, I’m not sure if this has been addressed before, I couldn’t find an existing topic. Is there a way to manually create a user or lead in Intercom without entering an email address? I understand we can use either an Email or User ID for new users, but in this case, our agent needs to start a WhatsApp conversation with a lead who doesn’t have an account with us yet. The lead was referred through another channel and has no prior conversation history, so there’s no record in our Intercom database. Since the customer doesn’t have an email, we’re looking to manually create a lead using only their phone number.!--endfragment>!--startfragment>

Hi,I would like to implement a workflow which is triggered when a conversation/ticket is created in a specific inbox, that triggers an api configured in data connector to fetch the information. Can this information sent by the api be added as a note to the ticket/conversation as shown below?How is the dataconnector’s success response data be sent as a note?  

Hi Intercom team and community,I’m paginating through a company segment using the /companies endpoint and I’m seeing exact duplicate company records appearing on multiple pages.For example:GET https://api.intercom.io/companies?segment_id=xyz&per_page=60GET https://api.intercom.io/companies?segment_id=xyz&per_page=60&page=2Some of the same company records show up in both the page 1 and page 2 responses. Items are not updated between paginated queries.This makes it difficult to reliably process the full dataset without extra deduplication logic.Is this expected behavior for the Companies API? And is there a recommended way to retrieve a segment’s companies without duplicates across pages?

Hey,We’ve got following message when trying to push the e-mail to our users:"Email can't be sent right now as your app is being reviewed. We've emailed your app admin with more details."What is approx time to have this review completed?I really need to have the solution working properly, and it does not. Best,SentiOne Team

Hi there! Looking for some help with two problems I’m having with getting a custom HTML template set up.  1. How do I import custom fonts? This is probably more of an HTML question, but at the moment, I’ve got .tff files ready to go, but have no clue how to get them into my code. Any guidance available here? Thanks. 2. Second, how do I grab an ‘unsubscribe’ link for an Intercom email? And then, how do I put this unsubscribe link into a custom template? I’ve tried using the {{ unsubscribe_link }} tag, but it doesn’t seem to be working when I click on the link in the preview that pops up while I’m editing the email. 

Our website is a SPA (Single Page Application). Is it possible to install the Intercom Messenger for a SPA with Google Tag Manager? If this is possible, how can I do this.And if not, if I install the messenger with the Code Snippet. Can I still track Intercom events with Google Tag Manager and Analytics, or do I need to completely change this setup?

I’m trying to associate article views to actual companies or even individuals so that can use this data in decay analysis and compare against renewal and expansion. Is this data really not available? Do I have to lock down my KB behind a login to get this info?

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?

Hello,We have a react-native/expo app and are having issues opening any help center articles shared to users via the intercom messenger on our app. The same exact article works without any issues when sent to the same user but opened on Intercom messenger running on our web app instead.Any help would be much appreciated. Best regards,Tiago Cruz

Hi everyoneI use the Aircall integration with Intercom. Normally, when we get a phone call, it creates a ticket from the call. And the person who picked up the call, was automated assigened to the ticket.Since this week, there is not. The new created tickets getting unassigened, no matter who picked up the call.Cant find any changes. Any one got similiar issues or has a fix?

In desktop screen, the intercom looks good but in mobile screen, it blocks the important button like button, text…How can I fix it? 

Can I open news section whenever there is a passive notification in the news intercom-messenger-frame else hide it?

The bubble you reflects the number of open conversation, instead of showing the  not answered from the team and/or the ones that have new messages. Nowadays, if  you've X conversation open, but awaiting response from the visitor ( because he's not online), you keep seeing the same X number in the yellow bubbleMaybe changing the bubble's color or change the number inside.

When I request my articles from Intercom APIFor the published articles I get just the public version of the article, whatever this article was edited and saved as a draftIt's a way to get the public version of the article and also the last edited version of the article?

Do you think it would be possible to Extend the scale for the customer satisfaction (from 1 to 10).1 to 10 is now a standard and most of the SAAS companies are using it.

We’re trying to use the CSV filtering feature in the outbound chat to match phone numbers with our audience. But the process (tagging) takes way too long, 1+ hour for just 1 user, and still shows 0 people in the tags list. On the other hand, using the name as the matching attribute took only ~3min for the same user. I don’t think this is a format issue because the CSV file was created in notepad not Excel (which uses scientific notations). The Phone attribute is a text.

Hi there,I need help configuring the ticket system for a workflow I've built.My goal:I have a workflow bot for clients and sellers. I want conversations where users pass through a specific "Seller's questions" path to be automatically converted into tickets with the "Seller" type and a specific tag.What I've already set up: Created a "Seller" ticket type and a corresponding tag. Created a "when a ticket is created" workflow with a condition that triggers for any ticket with the "Seller" tag or ticket type. But...The automation isn't working. Tickets are only created if I manually convert these chats. Could you help me identify what's missing in my setup so it works automatically as intended?

Can I search Inbox by users phone number?

Hi,In our application, we initialize Intercom on page load. When user logs in, we shutdown the existing Intercom instance and boot again with user details. The messenger is loaded through a custom launcher. When the messenger show() is triggered, it seems the messenger doesn't even begin to load for quite some time as seen from the Network tab in dev tools. This makes it looks like as if the customer support chat is not working in our application, which is frustrating. Could you please help us debug this issue? We use the @intercom/messenger-js-sdk package. 

I have successfully been able to integrate Product Tour for most of the platform. However,  have a section within my platform where a workflow needs to be completed by the users.The workflow comprises of 4 steps and it’s a wizard style experience. all the 4 steps have the same URL and just the content on the page changes upon completing a step but the URL remains same.Issue: The pointers which are meant to appear on the step 2 of the workflow appears on the Step 1 itself. The CSS elements are not visible on the Step 1 but still the pointers appear.I have tried attributing the HTML with intercom <div> as well, the buttons are even highlighted in Pink within the tour editor after the attribution. It means the attribution worked, Despite this, the pointers appear on Step 1 instead of Step 2.  

Hey everyone 👋 We’ve been reworking our Knowledge Base structure as our platform has expanded, and I’d love to hear how others have approached this. We’ve recently rolled out several new core products, so it made sense to create a category (mini hub) for each one.However, we also have tools that span all products - for example, an email tool that’s used across multiple product types. My current idea is to move these shared tools into a separate category like “Platform Tools and Features.” The tricky part is that while the email tool touches most of the products, its functionality has small nuances depending on the product. I’m torn between: Keeping all email content centralised in one place nested under a tools section e.g. having an email section (simpler to maintain, easier to find)vs. Referencing it within each product sect

Has anyone tried implementing context-sensitive help in your product like how Intercom uses its help articles and customizes the Learn button drop-down?

I want to suggest a 2 features to articles: 1. A checkbox that allow us to  exclude a single page for indexing. Ex: pages with contact information. Those pages should be in help center and also be available for FIN, but not for bots. With a single disallow to be added in the robots.txt is enough.2. If you type an email or a URL, and you don't link it, when you save it's linked automatically and if you want these information to be excluded for crawlers you can't.
