We’re using the Javascript API client to create a conversation programmatically when users sign up to our app.We’d like all messages of the conversation to each go through SMS. Is that possible, provided that the SMS channel is set up correctly in Intercom?I’m not seeing any way to specify a channel in the `intercom.conversations.create` method, or even in `intercom.messages.create`.Is this a dead end?Thanks!

Hi everyone,I wrote a step-by-step guide that shows how to import and sync Intercom data into Notion (companies, contacts, conversations) using a no-code workflow. It covers creating an Intercom token, API URLs to use, handling pagination, and setting up scheduled syncs so Notion stays up to date.Full guide: https://noteapiconnector.com/import-intercom-to-notion

Hi,Would it be possible to automate the assignment of conversations when the responsible person is away, so they don’t end up as unassigned and can instead be directed to a teammate?Previously, when we activated the reattribution feature, we were able to select the person we wanted to assign a conversation to, but that option isn’t available anymore.The reason I’m asking is that the company has six deployment leads, each with a specific client portfolio. A workflow was set up so that conversation assignment is automated, but when one of the teammates is sick or absent, I’d like the conversation to be automatically assigned to a specific teammate.Is this possible? If so, could someone show me how? 😄

I am using a template to send an outbound email. I want to add a QR code. How do I do this? 

Currently if an update is commented on a back office ticket, you need to manually scroll all the way to the bottom to see the update. It would be nice to sort the conversation by newest to oldest, rather than how it currently sorts by oldest to newest. Sometimes a back office ticket goes on for days, weeks or months. Leading to sometimes need to scroll for 15 seconds to get to the bottom of the conversation to see what new updates were posted.

When searching for conversations or tickets or viewing a list created by a view, we often want to apply bulk updates to the list of conversations or tickets. Currently, the list of changes you can make to a conversation/ticket is very limited. We would like to be able to change any conversation or ticket field whether standard or custom field. Example:I have a view showing me tracker tickets. I want to bulk update all tickets in this list with a value from a custom ticket field called ‘Product’. I cannot do this at present.

Hi I am Prakash Hinduja, a visionary in financial strategy, born in Amritsar, India, and currently resides in Geneva, Switzerland (Swiss). I’m trying to set up a workflow in Intercom and want to make sure it only triggers once per conversation, not multiple times. If anyone have any suggestion please share with me. 

Hi everyone, We recently started using Intercom’s NPS survey feature, but we’ve noticed our response rates have dropped significantly compared to our previous tool.In our old setup, there were a few things that really helped boost responses: A “dismiss” option that let users hide the survey temporarily, and then reshow it later. An automatic follow-up email if someone closed the survey, giving us another chance to capture their sentiment. A Slack integration so our team could proactively reach out in real time. Intercom suggested setting this up through a Series (survey + email), but that would mean duplicating the Series every 90 days and sending all NPS requests at once, rather than based on user duration or behavior. That’s why we set it up as a survey, less manual work, but it does come with these limitations.We hoped that moving NPS into Intercom would give us deeper segmentation (e.g., bei

Here is what I'm trying to do: Select the box for the pop up optionsSelect an option Here's a video, and I'm not sure why I can't figure this out?    

Is there a way to view if someone else on the team is actively looking at the conversation? Other ticket/chat systems you can usually see someones profile picture icon somewhere to signify that someone is also viewing the same conversation. I know that a chat bubble shows up but that also doesnt tell you who is responding or show you what they're writing.

Hi team, I’ve set to close my incomplete workflow after 15 mins in AI settings. I’m not seeing an option to include a message for this action. Any suggestions? 

How can I customize the CSAT survey? I need it to have two stages: one to evaluate the analyst and another to evaluate the company/product.What steps should I follow to achieve this in the automation?

My intercom published articles are no longer showing up - I have been with Intercom for a while so am still on the free plan and until recently they could still be accessed by my customers however I am now getting a “Not Found” error on my public page.Is this because I’m on the free plan?I’m not trying to publish new articles, these are articles that were previously published.

I have made a custom GPT, which I am using to create articles for our company, with full html-coding applied. Which we used to create articles in Zendesk. This week we moved to Intercom. I was under the impression that most tools, from this time of day (2025), support html-coding and html-desgining.But now that we have moved to Intercom, what I read online, it is impossible to change the html of the articles within the designer. Which is key for quickly creating and changing articles. Also, Intercom provides very little support for HTML and CSS coding in general. Because of this, we seem to be unable to add (styled) blockquotes with custom colors and lines (appearance). See below.For example, this block underneath to highlight something importantFor example, the FAQ underneath to show additional questions, which

Response from the Support team : So I have just checked with one of our engineering teammates and they have confirmed that the side conversation creation flow creates conversations through the standard email conversation flow, but never accesses parent conversation brand data or inherits any brand configuration.When setting a brand in a conversation, the goal is to have a specific signature. It is unacceptable that when you send a side conversation, a different brand is being used.

Hello,My name is Mukesh karkey , I'm trying to integrate Intercom with my application to receive real-time updates for events like new messages or conversation assignments. How can I set up Intercom webhooks, what event types should I listen for, and how can I handle and process the webhook payloads on my server? Any example code or best practices would be greatly appreciated!

Mukesh Karkey here, I'm looking for advice on how to create highly targeted messages and in-app tours for specific user groups. I understand Intercom's segmentation capabilities, but I want to know about real-world use cases and best practices. Thanks,Karkey

The chats do not get assigned even after replying to the chat.

Hello all, we have a number of use-cases where we need to engage with 3rd parties for “shared customers” in a form of “ticket sharing”.Current practice is to use a side-conversation and trigger an email (which is likely a conversation part) to that 3rd party, and then responses from that 3rd party link back to the side conversation.Whilst the above sort of works, it is not the most intuitive experience as it is not obvious that there has been a response (you have to open each ticket, navigate to side conversation, see a traffic light indicating a new email).The bigger challenge is this does not consistently work (it does with Zendesk as it was levelling feature to match what they do), but does not for SPRINKLR and Service Cloud where the responses to side conversations create a whole new disconnected conversation, resulting in additional handling and bringing together of conversations.Has anyone done much work on how to connect 3rd party systems and “shar

Hey guys!I did setup a flow called “Convert trial users into paying customers” it looks fine but I want to have the following: See my welcome message & preview buttons on the bottom right corner right away before people click on the chat window itself to open it, How to do this? When i open a chat, i’m in an empty conversation, i need to click “Back” and open the conversation with AI agent to make it work. How do i make it chat with AI agent right away? Can i sync Intercom with HubSpot to send automated emails & submit forms?

I have several translated articles ready. How can I upload all of them in bulk instead of creating them individually?

In Word when you create an ordered list you get...first bulletsecond bulletsub-bulletIt looks like even the forums have this functionality! Does this exists when writing an article in the help center? I can't seem to find it.

Some co-workers who don't regularly check Intercom need Slack notifications when a certain number of conversations are linked to a tracker ticket.I’ve considered a few options. The first is a workflow that checks the number of "customer reports" repeatedly, but there isn't a "wait" option in a ticket workflow, only snooze, which I want to avoid.The second option is sending a webhook to a third-party service to check linked conversations via an API call, but this would involve too many calls.Another option is creating a view that filters for customer reports above a certain number, but that doesn’t help since those needing alerts aren’t always on Intercom. Is there a better solution?

Hi,I would like to know if there is a way to have each new conversation in my team's Intercom inbox to be forwarded to an external email address.Thanks
