Knowledge Base

I need a way to categorize articles across the sections/categories that they’re in in the help centre. Article tags are only visible and usable in the Intercom back end, not by users accessing articles. To help explain what I mean, imagine that you have a help centre that has articles on cooking and food preparation. You might have help center collections like “Preparing ingredients”,  “Cooking with oil” or “Plate Presentation” and within those, you have some articles that are relevant for only meat-based food, for Kosher or Halal food, for vegetarian food, etc., and some that that are applicable to more than one category/all categories. How might you allow your users to search across the help centre for all articles related to vegetarian food, regardless of where in the help center the article is? I don’t think that there’s a built-in feature that will allow this in Intercom, but if anyone has achieved something similar with a work around, I’d love to hear it!

When I try to select the color picker, it doesn’t appear. It was working since a week or two ago. Also, sometimes the column doesn’t adjust properly after I delete one. In this example, it should adjust to be the whole page wide. 

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 can be unfolded by clicking on them. Main concernIf it is possible to create the above or something very similar that would be nice. But this does still not help me out, becaus

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

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.

I’d love to know if we can backdate news items. We’re going to migrate a bunch of news articles over from Pendo. Will they all look like they shipped on the same day, or can we make it look like they came out when they came out?

Hello everyone!  Had been a little confused while creating articles and collections for my students.  We've got 2 collections like "Methodology helper" and "Assessments", where I want to put the same articles about the process and meaning of assessments. But as I see it, Intercom doesn't allow adding one article to more than one section. And the possible solution of creating two of the same articles just to put them in different collections looks kind of strange to me, as we can't get the right statistics of the use of this material. Does anyone know any ways to fix it? Thank you in advance!

I have a light background colour as my header, however the text is white and illegible. How do I change the colour of this text?

Are there plans to add more to Article reporting?Specifically, I’d love to see the filter options from other reports on Intercom so I can easy have a breakdown of the views an article gets in different languages or be able to filter to see how many users from a specific customer are viewing an article. 

Hi folks We use Articles as our help centre, and for the most part, it does the job. It also has the benefit of being useable in Messenger etc. We do however keep running into shortcomings and hoping that either there is a roadmap we can refer, or someone may know the likelihood of the following feature requests: Customise look at feel of help centre with CSSLog in directly to the help centre to "authenticate" users, without having to load Intercom in your app first.More options in the editor, such as better tables, markdown support, images from links, and generally more formatting options.Security for an entire collection, not just article by article.Syntax highlighting in code blocks.Customisation of the "You can try sending us a message or logging in at <x>" message. I have more in mind, but this is a good start. We are trying to work out if Intercom is going invest in Articles and bring it up to scratch with the other products, or whether we need to look e

HelloWhen I audit my help center site with custom domain, I am getting too much 403 errors.I guessed it was robots.txt issues.But I couldn’t edit robots.txt in my help site in intercom.How can I edit robots.txt? or how can I fix these 403 issues?Please help me.Thanks.

I would like to be able to insert an interactive flowchart into a help centre article. User would click on a series of graphics or text snippets to follow a path ending with the correct help centre article. E.g. Which product do you have?A, B, C, DWhat do you want to do?A or B» correct article displayed

I would love an integration between Intercom Knowledge and Bynder Webdam. This would mean Fin could search PDFs published in Webdam and use these to provide meaningful answers. An integration would save me having to manually upload PDF documents into Intercom each time I publish something (a lot of duplicated effort). I see that there is already an option to synch info to Knowledge from Box so it seems it would be possible. 

Does anyone use a third-party tool to monitor link health in your help articles and flag broken/404 errors?I tried Docs Fresh but haven’t been able to get in touch with them about pricing. Curious if there are other tools you’ve had success with.Thank you!

Hey friends! Has anyone created a report to track your self service ratio? If so, would you share how?Also, is anyone exporting info via API to calculate things like views per article? Best, Malachi

I understand that I can change article access to only Users. This is great, but users can’t view the articles unless they search for the article via the messenger in-app. I’d like to be able to keep our knowledge base private, but be able to send a link to a user. Am i misunderstanding how this works? If not, is it possible to add a SAML app or something to authenticate users via Google Workspace?Thanks!

I want to embed a video link so that the video starts at a particular time (half way through the video). The video is published on Vimeo, but when I try and add a timestamp to the embed code (e.g. #t=1m53s), Intercom strips it out. Is this not supported?

Any thoughts, advice appreciated!Using Intercom for our Help Center and wondering what is the best format structure in terms of AI and LLM’s. We currently start each article with a “summary” and “why its helpful” in a callout box but am thinking this style, particularly the colourful callout box does not add a lot of value to humans or AI responses and it looks a little messy. Are H1, 2, 3 headers better than callout boxes?  When would you use callout boxes? Thanks ! 

When you sync documentation from Confluence to Intercom, it only grabs pages in the main folder but not pages from the subfolders. To keep documentation organised, it would be great if you can sync also documents stored in subfolders.

Hi! I’m builfing out a 100-article or so help center, and I’d love to add crosslinking as I stage the articles. The only issue is that I don’t know what the URLs will ultimately be -- either the stem URL or what ID number Intercom will add to the end of the URL.Maybe I just answered my own question, but is there a way to know what the URL will be before publishing -- and to pre-empt any potential changes on my end, can I use relative URLs? 

I wanna use the intercom widget only for knowledge base, with our articles, but I would like to turn off the option to talk or send a message to my inbox on my widget. According with setup customize doc there is a note that says:  Note: “Messages” is a permanent space in the Messenger and can’t be turned off. So, is there any other way that I can only show my articles without chat option? 

We have one website “a.com”. Whenever, a user click on specific text on a.com, it redirect to help.a.com where help center article are showing. Now our main domain is changed from a.com  to b.c.d.net . So whenever user click on the same specific text in the new domain, it redirect to help.a.com but help center article are not showing. To my understanding, this issue occured due to session cookie not set because of changed in the domain, ie, b.c.d.netCan someone guide what should be the best and quickest way to resolve this issue?
