Knowledge

We have a product that is developed in English and localized for Japanese. We want to link directly to articles. Looking for best practices for managing those links. Should we just treat them like strings to be localized?

Is there a reason intercom chose to make this look like a 404 page rather than a "please log into (product) to view this article"? I can't tell you how many times that customers says "there is nothing at this link" and we have to explain well first you need to log into the app then the article can be viewed. The wording on this page could be vastly improved.

Is it possible to use articles in Intercom as a private knowledge base for my company? meaning, not meant to be shared with customers, but instead also using them as internal knowledge sharing. Thanks!

For some reason the guy I'm speaking to in support believes this to be a "feature request'   So here is my question/issue/feature request. If I type in words of an article, nothing comes in: If I type in the entire title of the article (as if I can remember every articles exact title), then it finds it.So my request is that intercom make the search work normally.

I have this message in my acc Team invite emails can’t be sent right now as your app is being reviewed. I don't know why my acc didn't pass the review. And in support, nobody answers to me (now a week). What can I do, because in the message about the review they say that I should contact support, but nobody answers!

We're currently translating our product to several languages and so the user will only know certain terms from our app in their respective language. We are however not at a point where we can translate all our helpdesk articles. So people will search for something for example in Dutch and it will never show any topic, because the helpdesk it not localized. Did any of you run into this as well? How did you solve it?Also opened a chat with Intercom about this, but maybe someone has some experience to share. I know about the Lokalise integration, but it might be above our budget, maybe there is a different solution, via API or something.

When am trying to set-up my knowledge base it gives me this error on accessing this page - https://motilaloswal-help.smallcase.com/p>This custom.intercom.help page can’t be found.No web page was found for the web address: https://custom.intercom.help//p>

Hi, I'm Reed, I can user GTM to set up intercom to work using the logged out users method. This also works when users are logged in. In both cases the messenger loads as expected.  But when I try to set it up designating the User ID, the messenger doesn't load. Looking at the GTM preview, the Tag Details show the firing status is Succeeded, and the User ID is what I expected, as is the Workspace ID. Firing Triggers is Window Loaded Trigger By the way, I'm using a Dev account to test this before loading on our live site. I've also tried using a custom javascript method to convert the User ID to an integer. Again the preview Tag Details shows the same results except this time the User ID is an integer (as planned.) Does this work? or is our only option to use an email? We'd rather not. But if we must is it possible to use the identity verification w/ GTM? Thanks in advance...

I have set up Google Analytics for Help Centre. I want to track the Source from where I get maximum traffic, No of users, and articles with the most views. Any recommendations?

I'm trying to use article rules to display only the articles relevant to a particular product. Not working as expected. Is it my rule or my Intercom config? My article rule uses the referral URL attribute. the URLs look like this: <product1>.<mycompanydomain>.com<product2>.<mycompanydomain>.com My rule specifies referral URL contains <product1>.<mycompany.com>. Should this rule allow users coming from the product1 URL to see the article?

how to create professional tags on intercoms?

What's the best way to make sure users of product 1 see only articles related to product 1? At first glance, I thought an article rule using Referral URL. Thoughts?

Ho do I create a link which leads to a certain section of a collection? Like this link for example: https://www.intercom.com/help/en/collections/2091449-sending-messages-and-building-smart-campaigns#sending-messages-with-intercom/p> I would like to know how it is possible for me to create a link which leads a customer to a particular section in the collage. Would it be possible to get instructions on how to create such links? Thank you! Note: The Helpcenter isn't published yet so the collections so called ID's is still unknown. By ID's I mean this: https://www.intercom.com/help/en/collections/2091449-sending-messages-and-building-smart-campaigns#sending-messages-with-intercomAnother question, how is that ID defined?

Is there a way to ask customer's feedback on articles, except thumbs up/down? Ideally, if they didn't like it, customers should be able to give feedback if they didn't like the content or the way it was written.

Custom Domain setup doesnt work, My domain is transferring to cutomer.intercom.help using cloudfront but intercom is not able to resolve to the article.

The specific problem I am trying to solve is as follows: I have an application log in page where I do not want the intercom widget to be present for any user. Then after that user has logged in, depending on their predefined role permissions, intercom should either presented or hidden. Admin users should be able to see the intercom widget.Customer users should not be able to see the intercom widget. Any assistance to help resolve this would be greatly appreciated!

When a user uses "offer additional help", I want to specify to whom it should be assigned. Can we? 

Here's an easy APIANT template I built to merge leads with users. Just add "lead:Id" as a conversation note in the user and they will merge instantly! Let me know if you need help installing it. 😊  https://apiant.com/templates?template=cab19a0f26cd431e8a948dc280689c2d/p>

Can you add anchor tags to Help Center articles that are longer?

When using anchors you can't seem to be able to add just the anchor as a link "#example-example" without Intercom adding "https://" in front of it and rendering the anchor useless. Any way around this? A workaround is to use the full URL but this means that for every link it sends visitors to a new window, which is not great.

I have filtered articles to specific users (me being one) to test this functionality however they aren't showing in our knowledge base when I search for them? Any ideas why not?

Is there a way to link the heads included in a Help section article? I want to include a table of contents with links to make it easier for a user to jump down if needed.

We are just starting to look at switching from Salesforce KB to Articles. What kid of user metrics are available in the canned reporting? What other practices do you guys use to track performance (bounce rate, time on page, etc)? TIA!

Is it possible to get list of all requests users type in the search field in our help centre?

I know it's possible to present the helpcenter using: Intercom.presentHelpcenter() But is there a way of presenting a specific article when doing this, using the article ID? Thanks!
