We’ve created a custom domain through SiteGround for our help centre & enforced it with SSL & HTTPS, however, the site still shows up as unsecured and gives us this error:NET::ERR_CERT_COMMON_NAME_INVALIDWe can see that the certificate is not the correct one as the common name is listed as intercom.help, but it should show up as our custom domain.We’ve tried deleting & re-creating new SSL certificates as well as CNAMEs but nothing seems to be working to update the certificate on our help centre site. Any help would be appreciated!Thanks.

I published an article title “FAQs” under a collection called “customer support.”In messenger, the article title appears but there is no content in the article.Only when the “Open in help center” button is clicked does the article show up. I want the article content to appear directly on the messenger.Thanks!  

Hi! I’m starting to explore using the API to serve help center articles is a way that gives me more control over design. Are there any examples of other sites who have done that -- or documentation?Context: The help center doesn’t really meet a few key needs -- most importantly being able to add a sitewide disclaimers/disclosures. Ideally, we’d put them in -- or just above -- the footer. And we’ll need to update them from time to time.At present, it seems the only way to add them is to do it article by article, but that approach pushes related content out of view, and creates some real headaches if we ever need to make updates.Is there a beaten path to follow when it comes to making help center design your own?Thanks! 

Hy I am new here. Can I edit the article and change its url after posted it?

We looked at the article for target audience.Tags are not used there and the logic does not seem to apply to us.We can’t get access depending on the tags we have, like super users don’t have access to the articles we’re making available to them(we added their tag)

In the knowledge base, we have a Glossary of Terms page. For some longer articles, I’d like to be able to pull specific terms and definitions from the Glossary of Terms page and display them in the second article. In this flow, if I needed to modify the wording of a definition, I would update it on the Glossary of Terms page, and that would flow into the second article, instead of having to update the definition in two+ articles. Is this possible?

Hi, anybody ever exported the intercom articles into Google Doc? Any tools I can use to achieve this? Thanks!

Hi team, Is it possible to get Messenger to suggest articles based on what customers ask in the chat WITHOUT using fin? Sort of like a deflection scenario with the first question that the user asks? For example, if the user writes in the chat, “I need help transferring ownership of my account”, is it possible to have the chat suggest articles based on keywords in that message, but without using fin? After the suggested articles, it should be possible for the customer to select to talk to an agent.   

Need reporting guidance.   Is there a way to download a list of all intercom articles in the domain and include the article URL in the report?   

I’m developping for my company and we wanted to adapt the colors and styling of the help center, and chatbot.Is there a way to do it? Is it even supported?Thank you so much in advance.

Hi.  I’ve created a CNAME per these instructions:https://developers.intercom.com/docs/guides/help-center/custom-domains/ But am currently getting an error 1014 via Cloudflare.  Are these instructions obsolete, any solves? 

HiThis may seem like a strange question but thought I’d askCan SSL be setup on a domain that is unhosted? The domain I want to use for link branding is just used for my email addresses via Google Workspace. So don’t need hosting for it other than for link branding. Thank you.Graham

Hi everyone,We redirected from Zendesk today but noticed the URL https://help.ballparkhq.com/hc/en-us isn’t redirecting to  https://help.ballparkhq.com/en/  and showing an error if you see the end of the URL, Zendesk appends all its URLs with /hc/en-us but that doesn't seem to exist in intercom for their english language version of the help center Any ideas what has gone wrong?

Problem: We want a way to export our data to CSV to see how many Jira tickets each week associated with Conversations.We do not like Tickets or Backend tickets because they create additional objects in our inbox. Makes it cluttered (e.g., one interaction can be associated with a Conversation, Ticket and Back End Ticket--too cluttered and too much to track).Instead, we thought to copy-paste our Jira ticket links in “User Notes” and export.How do we do this? Or is there another way to track Jira tickets associated with Conversations?

I need help!!! My articles show up just fine on my help center. When I try to show them using the messenger, the title load and I can search for content but the actual article will not have the content. I have included a gif below. As you can see, if I use the messenger from the help center, they load, but the articles do not load on the messenger in my app. Any help would be appreciated. I messaged Intercom two days ago, but no response. I cannot go live until the issue is fixed.

Hi team! Help Center articles that have been viewed through the messenger - will those views count when looking at reporting on article views?  Thanks! 

I want to have one article in which I list a collection of FAQs. However, I would like the reader to be able to search for what they need. I tried the "insert code" option to create a search bar but it didn't work. Is there a way to insert a search bar into an article?

I’ve set up a custom bot that opens a chat and provides a help article when a user clicks on an HTML element on the page. The article displays directly in the chat and describes the page they are on.The article has links to other articles. (The links provided at the top of each article).When I click the links from the article displayed in the chat, nothing happens. If I right click and load in a new tab from the chat, it loads the associated help center page for the article in a new tab. If I view the articles in the help center the links work between articles.How do I add links so that they work both in articles displayed IN CHAT, and articles displayed in the help center? Is there a special URL format that works for both?Optimally, a user should be able to navigate the articles directly in chat from the links and close the chat when they are done. Viewing the same artic

We have different clinical trials that have their own requirements and we'd like to be able to have each trial have its own user manual. Trial 1 might use modules A, B, and C, while Trial 2 uses module A, B, D, E, and F.Right now we have a generic user manual, so all trials get the same manual. I see that Intercom allows up to 30 help centers - we’re expecting to have more than 100 trials (and thus help centers) shortly. I cannot do this through Intercom's user attributes since the same user (say, a Doctor) could work on both Trial 1 and Trial 2 and would need to see different UM content based on which trial they are working on at the moment.Any suggestions?

I am looking to make our FAQ in Notion link to the Intercom Help Center. Would it be possible for Intercom to a. create a article and publish it when a new database entry is made and b. for Intercom to update that article when the database entry is updated in Notion?

I’m finally getting around to rolling out Articles for our org and migrating our knowledge base to Intercom. My team is in the process of developing a new structure for organizing content and we’re using Intercom’s own help docs as inspiration to model ours after. Kudos to the team who manages it. I’m curious what other help centers Intercom has and and how they’re used. From what I can tell I can only see two:https://www.intercom.com/help - primary help docs https://www.intercom.com/changes - new feature announcements Is anyone from the team able to chime in and provide some insight about your different help centers and how they’re structured?

For Help Center there is only Option for Google Analytics Universal. 1 - No option to add Tag Manager. Is there a plugin we’d need?2 - Or can you add GA4 ID in that filed as well? Thanks!    

I would like to create a collection but as my team and I are working on it we need to adjust it as we go along. We would like to leave it unpublished or as a drat but I was unable to find how to do that. Tried to read through support articles but I couldn’t find a way to unpublish it. Is it possible? 

Currently we are having issues on reply to customer conversation. And not able to reach customer support as well.How long the maintenance, can please someone assist and advise?

I would like to be able to add a link in one of our articles in the Help center (created in Intercom) that can say “Contact support” if you have more questions. When people click it I would like the link to open the chat widget, instead of adding a “mailto” link. This would work similar as the Javascript API would work in our own app. But since the Help center is hosted and build with Intercom I was wondering if there was a supported way. Am I missing something? Tried searching, couldn’t find this.
