Intercom Product Area

Hello,Currently, our team primarily uses conversations for the majority of our Intercom interactions, and Fin triages all incoming cases first. We would like to create a process wherein any time a conversation is escalated from Fin to a human team, it is also converted to a ticket. This is because our Fin deployment is at a point where if anything is escalated, it is likely complex and will take time to resolve.This doesn’t seem to be possible with existing workflows, since the “convert to ticket” action only works when a customer sends their first message. We also do not want all emails to be converted to tickets - Fin handles both email and chat. The conversion should only happen when there’s an escalation.Has anyone in a similar situation found a good solution to streamline this process?

Hi Intercom Community, i’m having some difficulties creating a product tour. Quick question: Is it possible to create a tooltip in an Intercom product tour that isn’t anchored to a specific element, but still lets users click anywhere on the page to advance the tour? Thanks in advance for your help!

 This really annoys me;Why can I View and Bulk Edit the Fin Permissions of Articles in the view-all-articles screen, but I cannot view or bulk edit the Visibility Audience of the Article??Also, Why dosen’t Visibility Audience utilise the preset Fin Audiences, which are super useful, I have to manually configure entire collections of articles, the same rule sets each time, if that rule ever updates, I cannot easily find those articles, or edit the rules!Super infuriating, this set up is not a serious help centre for multi-country companies with variations of policy per user group.  

first try at a product tour. when i preview the tour, i'm routed to the correct url, i sign into my webb app, but the tour never displays. what newbie goof am i making?

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?

Hi everyone,I’ve been experimenting with task automation on android and came across an app I found, delta executor for android.The challenge I’m facing is that some automated actions either fail silently or behave inconsistently across different android versions. For example, tasks that run perfectly on one device sometimes crash or don’t trigger at all on another. I’m trying to figure out whether this is related to app permissions, background restrictions, or compatibility with certain android builds.Has anyone else run into similar problems when using third-party automation tools on Android? Are there best practices for debugging or ensuring these apps behave consistently across devices? I’d love to hear what solutions or workarounds people have used.Thanks in advance for any insights!

I currently have a custom workflow where when a conversation is set to Closed that a CSAT survey is sent out.  No problem here.Now I want to instead send out that CSAT survey when a teammate changes the ticket state to Closed. In creating a workflow for this, I have a “If teammate changes the state of a ticket” trigger in there first, but I only want the path to execute if the ticket state becomes Closed.  I tried putting an Apply Rules element into the path, and a rule where the condition is ‘Ticket state is Closed’, but the ‘Ask for Conversation Rating’ action is not available, and the rule requires an action.Can I just add any action, then add the CSAT step, and have the workflow send out the CSAT only when the ticket state is changed to Closed by a teammate?  Or is there a different way this workflow needs to be set up? 

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.  

Hi guys, I’m wondering if agents can send our customers a calendar feature for them to book a onboarding call but something that’s built in Intercom rather than a external calendar app, I haven’t seen it yet, is there such a feature already?Thank you in advance 

There’s a ‘Give Feedback’ button above and a ‘Feedback’ button to the right. Why 2? 

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.

I am trying to access the agents that are working in my organizations to replicate our reports in the reporting tab of intercom. We have created interesting reports with FRT, closed tickets, open tickets etc. However, instead of using the reports in intercom, I would like to get the same using the API.Now the problem I am facing is that I can only get myself and FIN rather than access to all the other agents working in the organization. Can you please guide me in what I might be doing wrong.HEADERS = {"Authorization": f"Bearer {BEARER_TOKEN}","Accept": "application/json","Intercom-Version": "2.14"} # -------------------------------# FETCH ALL ADMINS# -------------------------------url = "https://api.intercom.io/admins" response = requests.get(url, headers=HEADERS)response.raise_for_status() # Will raise an error if request fails admins_data = response.json()

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?

Hi there, I am starting with a very simply implementation. We are only using Facebook through socials to start (no web or mobile implementation.) We have a workflow that I want to run whenever someone opens a new conversation with us. I don’t want it to run the workflow for that person again until we close the conversation. Our workflow asks some basic questions and then assigns the conversation to me. I want to them communicate manually with the lead and then once I am done I want to close the conversation, and the next time they message us they get the workflow again.Thank you!

I have spent some days trying to set up a product tour for our coursebuilder and it is working in very inconsistent ways. In our coursebuilder, the user is guided through a step-by-step process of specifying a target audience, uploading documents etc. If I use a single product tour for all the steps across pages, this does not work as elements are displayed too early, before the page in question is accessed. I found a workaround by setting up multiple product tours but they can disable each other, even when I specify a different start URL. Sometimes it works, sometimes not.Another problem is that essentially the product tour Preview function does not work with our coursebuilder, and neither does the link feature if I enable “use tour everywhere”. My only option to test the product tour is to assign it to my account and two other admin accounts. I then log into three different accounts once a day to have one runthrough each. If one part of the tour is not displayed, I have to
