Intercom Product Area

Hi Intercom Team,I’m writing to express my frustration regarding an ongoing issue that I first reported on April 11 and followed up on June 15. The issue involves IME (Input Method Editor) languages like Korean, Japanese, and Chinese, where pressing CTRL + ENTER to send a message causes the last character of the input to be duplicated and sent again.On April 11, Emily from your team responded with the following:"Hey again Eric! 👋This was actually recently tested and confirmed as a bug by our engineers so it has been added to our backlog to be fixed.For greater context, our product team prioritizes bugs based on the severity of the issue and how widespread of an experience it is with customers. To provide insight on expectations, issues like this may not be actioned for some weeks. This timeline is based on the team's current existing log of issues and upcoming feature rel

I would like to a add a conversation tag via a worfklow to the first message sent (via SMS), but even manually it is not possible to tag the first message in the conversation and it appears as Fin who sent it while it wasn’t.According to Intercom the first SMS messages will not show teammate profile icon and it's not possible to tag it.Have anyone had similar issue and find a workaround to it? 

Hi We’ve configured Intercom using GTM in our SPA but we have the issue that a leads conversation history in Messenger is not appended to their contact conversation history when they log in.While logged out, in our sign in page, we use the “install” method to display the messenger and allow the lead to ask questions.Once signed in we use the ‘update’ method to push the contacts data to intercom.We also use “boot” after sign in to force the messenger to show the signed in users data (since its an SPA we don’t rely on page refresh).Based on the above should the leads conversation not be added to the contacts conversation history after sign in?It is not 100% clear to me from the documentation if this is how to actually structure these calls. Any help is greatly appreciated.Other Questions:1) Does ‘install’ method create a new visitor session every time its called? Ie if I visit the login page as a signed out

I couldn't see when my team members are joining the inbox and replying, which means I can't see the status of the chats if they are being handled by other members or not. Please help address my queries!

Does anyone know if there's a way to find out exactly where each conversation tag is being applied within the workflow?I’d like to know if it’s possible to generate a report for this instead of manually opening the workflow and searching.    

I am on my way creating my first mail template and want to use the tiny avatar image at the bottom of the mail showing the profile picture from sender. I saw this in the default mail template "Personal" – but could not find a variable or similar to implement this into my custom mail template. Please help :)

How can I effectively use Intercom workflows to re-engage inactive customers? I’m looking for strategies to identify inactivity, set up personalized messages or campaigns, and automate follow-ups to bring users back. Are there specific triggers, actions, or best practices (Read More) I should consider to make the workflow more effective? Additionally, any advice on measuring the success of re-engagement efforts would be greatly appreciated!    

Hello! I’m wondering what solutions small teams (3 intercom users) for secure, large file transfer?  Intercom seems limited to 100mb and we occasionally need to transfer larger files with customers.  Our work around is using Google Drive and manually creating and sharing a folder with customers, but this is inconvenient and many customers have trouble accessing the Google drive link. We looked at SendSafely but it’s extremely expensive requiring 15 users minimum. What solutions are you using for larger than 100mb file transfers inside of Intercom? Thank you!

Good morning everyone how are you? I see that in our conversation that you have a Linear optionCan someone help me if I can create Linear tickets in app, and if so, how? Thank you! 

Dear Intercom Support Team,I hope this email finds you well.We currently use Intercom to manage our customer interactions, and I’m reaching out regarding a feature that could streamline our process. Specifically, we need to create a list of over 250 station names in the "Settings > Data > Conversations" section of Intercom for managing our tickets.Manually entering each station name is quite time-consuming. Is there a way to bulk upload or automatically generate this list directly within Intercom? If so, could you please provide guidance or documentation on how to implement this?This capability would significantly enhance our efficiency. Thank you in advance for your assistance, and please let me know if you require additional details to address this request.Looking forward to hearing from you.Best regards,Jorge from Equip Sport

I'm using the intercom api to create and respond conversations of type email, when I send messages as an admin using HTML, some styles are stripped out, as a result clients can't see the HTML formatted correctly when the email is opened, Do you know why this could be? I'm seeing that css styles are removed and even using inline styles would not work, does intercom support styles in the email conversations api at all?

Hello, I tried to use react-use-intercom in my nextjs project, everything works fine on desktop, safari but the chat hides on other browsers when using mobile devices. Please help me fix the issue. Thanks!

There are inactive customer workflows but apparently when you send a message (ie. asking for the customer to reply), these will only send in the messenger. Shouldn’t they also send via email if the customer hasn’t seen the update in the messenger after 3 minutes? I’m not understanding why that’s not happening as it should be the same as any other message sent by a teammate.

Hi, I am using vimeo to embed videos within my articles and am having issues with implementing domain level video restrictions. We need domain restriction on all our videos to prevent them from being accessed by users that aren't logged in.  When viewing articles on the standalone help pages, the embed solution works fine, but if a user views a video from within the messenger, they get an error saying the video can't be played because of privacy settings. Both the help pages and messenger are used on the same domain. Has anyone found a way to use domain restriction successfully?

It is more commonly about medical consultations, So I am looking for a platform where I can engage my client’s customers according to their location and plan their consultations according to customers’ location.Should I go for it or not? Will I be able to engage customers according to their locations? Is there any plan of Intercom that can sound beneficial for this specific business?

When a user starts a chat and wants the status of a certain operation, is it possible based on his user_id, retrieve the last 10 operations he made in form of buttons and ask him to select which one he mentions, and based on the decision, to give an automated reply based on the information in BO?

Hi Everyone,  My team and I are having a hard time adapting to Tickets but we want it to work as tracking our conversations that require engineering/technical assistance is quite difficult! Does anyone have any best practices or tips on how they are currently managing back office tickets when working with other teams?  Here’s an example: Our support team may get an issue that requires us to get assistance from our engineering team. Currently we create a back office ticket, fill out all the necessary fields that our engineering team needs and assigns the ticket to the engineering queue.  When the engineering team needs more information, they’d prefer not to keep the ticket in their queue so they send it back to support, essentially leaving us with double the amount of tickets till we get the information from our clients to send it back to the engineering queue.  Appreciate any insight! 

I configured IOS for intercom correctly with APNS Key but still i didn't receive any notification, if the agent send a message to my iphone

I'm being prevented from putting the email in the body of the intercom web message, every time I try to put it in, I get: POST 403 (Forbidden). Why is this happening? Can't I send the email? If the documentation says to put it in? import * as fromIntercom from '@intercom/messenger-js-sdk'; fromIntercom.Intercom({    app_id: this.appId,    name: profile.nickname,    userId: profile.sub    email: profile.email}); 

Hi guys,Someone already asked that question but got a generic answer so i will try again:I’d like to create a view that shows all the conversations/tickets that we’re currently waiting for the customer to answer on.So let’s say: If a customer haven’t responded to our last message for let’s say 3 days, show it to me in that view.I know how to create a view but the conditions/filters is what i need help with Thanks a bunch! :) Ro

Hello Intercom Support Team,I hope this message finds you well.We have successfully integrated the Intercom SDK into both our Android and iOS apps, and everything has been working properly for the most part. However, we've encountered some client issues specifically with the Android app regarding Mobile Carousels.Issue Details:We have set up Mobile Carousels as a series in the Intercom dashboard. These carousels are triggered from the server-side as expected. When a carousel pops up on the mobile app, it blocks the app's UI rendering and prevents API calls from executing, which impacts the overall user experience negatively.Environment Details:Platform: Android Intercom SDK Version: 15.9.1 Trigger Method: Server-sideImpact:This behavior creates delays and interruptions in the app’s functionality, leading
