Hello, we are about to migrate our help desk to Intercom Articles. The current URL structure is: https://support.mycompany.com/hc/en-us/articles/id-articlet-title When I setup the Help Desk URL on Intercom, the result is: https://support.mycompany.com/en/articles/id-articlet-title Is it possible to keep the old URL? We have tons of links shared everywhere and are not willing to mess that up.  Thanks!

I'd love to create a unified header navigation experience across some of our web properties (HC, Academy, Community), so it feels more seamless for customers when moving between properties.

Hi, I want to test pagination of articles through the articles UI and want to change the default limit (the API docs say its 50 per page right now) to 20? Is there a way to do so in the UI?  

How can we get the section ID of Help Center from the UI?If I use the list all articles api, for any given article if "parent_type" is section, what does "parent_id" signifies? Can I find that id in the UI? Thanks in advance!

How can we get the collection ID of Help Center from the UI?I want to use the retrieve collection API and need the collection id for it?

I want to make a custom version of the Help Center because Intercom's doesn't suit my needs, but the problem we're facing is that Intercom's article API doesn't allow for query parameters, making it way harder than it should for us to enable a search functionality. Has anyone been able to overcome this?

Hi there... how do I get suggested help to work? It is turned on ... but when a user asks a question for which an article exists.. the article is not suggested!

When I imported people from MailChimp I tried to designate them as "leads" but they've all come in as "users." Can I change them from Users to Leads? Or is it even important? I've understood users to be "subscribers" to my app where we have both paid members and their guests (who don't pay). I've understood leads to be others whose email we have (perhaps because they've signed up for a newsletter or asked to be updated.)  My question is this: When I imported people from MailChimp I tried to designate them as "leads" but they've all come in as "users." Can I change them from Users to Leads? Or is it even important?  Most articles in my Help Center are restricted to Users and leads (but not visitors) other than that there aren't many constraints between the two at least as far as Intercom is concerned. My app makes a clear distinction, but we manage that through the authentication and features offered. (We also

Is there a way to create a conversation topic to collect conversations that came from our help articles? Or, is there a way using another automation to update a conversation data field which then could be added to conversation topic? I just built a Current Page URL -> Conversation Tag automation, but it doesn't tag past conversations, so I'd like to figure out how to use the conversation topics to aggregate these if it's possible.   I built a conversation topic that searches for the message "sorry that didn't have the answer you needed If you'd like, you can ask the team for help" since that's what the bot sends, but it only picks up that phrase in rare instances when someone replies via email to this message, as then the bot message is contained within their message... (I guess the bot is not a teammate so it doesn't pick this up when it's presented in the chat from the Sad Face at the bottom of each article). The problem I'm trying to

Trying to edit a welcome message in the chat that would have links to most useful articles. The + sign only shows how to add links to external sources.

Are there any other user permission settings to create a workflow that would allow a review and approval phase before publishing?

How can I link a collection from the chat?

Oftentimes, my images are too big. As in, when I insert a screenshot from my phone, the article displays it matching the width of the screen. The result is that the images are blown up, look too big, and are not as easy to use as I would like. Are there any good solutions out there that I am missing? Thanks!

I would like for my users to be able to search my SFDC KB articles from within Intercom. Is this possible today and if so how can I accomplish this? There seems to be no articles or documentation on this. I cant find anything useful via google either

Hi, Are there workarounds for formatting RTL languages correctly in an English-only Help Center?

We have a feature called a "To-do list" and my top Search Terms with No Result include "todo" "to-do" and "todos". When I search for "to-dos" I see in the search results that only "do" is highlighted. Are hyphens treated as whitespace, and "to" excluded due to being a common word? I see other posts requesting a hidden keyword feature or hashtags, I think that might help this situation but it also seems that since this is such a short word with a hyphen that it is difficult to find.

While we can run Articles on subdomain, its contents do not really contribute to the content of the main domain in content marketing / SEO perspective. So our idea is: Add no-index to Intercom's Help Center running at help.ourdomain.comCreate dynamic pages under ourdomain.com/help which would pull Article's contents via API into our website so they can be properly indexed. I wonder if anybody has had the same idea and successfully manged to implement it? Or perhaps there are some more reasonable workarounds.

Hello, we want to display a link to the Help Center on our web page so a user can click on it when he/she wants. In the same time we want to restrict the access to articles only for Users (logged in ones), without asking them again to login on Help Center page. How can we pass the login information to Help Center in this case, when Help Center is not accessed through the Messenger? Thank you.

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.
