How can I merge query parameters in a url for a link in an email?

We send a link to intercom via an event that looks something like this: Page Url: https://example.com/some-page?test=true In our email, we have UTM tracking enabled, and the preview of the attributes looks like:utm_source=intercom&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=email-testing the link attribute on a button set to:{Page Url}?utm_content=toplink Ideally, we would like all of these query params merging like this:https://example.com/some-page?test=true&utm_source=intercom&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=email-testing&utm_content=toplink ...but instead, we see only the utm tracking:https://example.com/some-page?utm_source=intercom&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=email-testing How can we merge all of these query params in such a way as to ensure we get the complete set?

How to track Youtube views?

Hey, We're using messages to point users proactively to individual Youtube videos embedded in the messages. Is there any way to track if people actually use them?

How do I add a signature to an email?

Our company uses multiple email addresses that can send emails through contacts. Is it possible for team members' signatures to be visible when sent via these addresses? At current , signatures are only visible when sent via individuals (YOU)

How to unsubscribe one customer from an email sequence?

We have an email sequence specifically for B2C leads. I want to unsubscribe one lead from that sequence as it turns out she is a B2B lead and therefore the rest of the automated sequence is not relevant for her. I’m sure there used to be an easy way to unsubscribe someone but I simply cannot find that now.

How do I send a message using a company attribute when the user is in that company's part of the website (e.g. workspace)?

Hi there,  Our users can be a part of multiple companies. When using our app, they can switch between company workspaces (much like with Intercom, and many other services).  Every company has an attribute "isTrialing".  I'd like to send a banner to a customer when they are in the company workspace that is currently trialing.  I can create rules to "send banner to user when company is trialing", but this is then sent to the user no matter which company workspace they are in. This banner should only be sent to the user when they are in the workspace of the company that is currently trialing. Would appreciate any advice. Thanks!

How can I use Intercom for Account Management / CRM?

Hi, I want to use Intercom for Account Management and create sequences. I have found Series + email might be an option here, but then sending emails with unsubscribe links look like I am sending a marketing email, which doesn’t work for my case. Does anybody have any suggestions on using Intercom for Account Management and being able to create sequences without unsubscribe links, so that they are sent automatically and are seen as personal emails?

Open chat after any custom event

Hi, I'm thinking about becoming an Intercom customer, but first, I need to ensure it meets my specific needs. I'm interested in the ability to trigger the Intercom chat pop-up at the corner of a web page based on custom events determined by the webpage's algorithm. Is this feasible? Essentially, I'd like the Intercom chat to appear whenever my algorithm dictates—this could be in response to a webhook from the server or any other custom logic. Can Intercom support this functionality? Is there some method like openChat() that just opens chat “with no questions”?

We just started getting this confirmation prompt everytime we click on a zendesk link. Anyway to bypass this?

Whenever we create a zendesk ticket in intercom and click the link to head there, we get this prompt now. It never happened before and it’s an annoyance. Any chance we can bypass this in a setting? Tried adding that to our trusted domains message list but that didn’t work.

What does "Currently you can add only one rule like this" in message trigger rules mean?

I am trying to create a Chat message that will be sent 3 days after some event happened for the first time. I think that I was able to set up such message yesterday using “Add event or rule date” button.However, today the button is grayed out and when I hover over it, it says “Currently you can add only one rule like this”.What does that mean? It this function temporarily disabled globally? Or is there some problem with our account setting or something? When will be this feature available again?I cannot see any ongoing incident on https://www.intercomstatus.com/ . Neither I can see any note in the documentation (https://www.intercom.com/help/en/articles/5420235-send-messages-on-a-recurring-schedule and https://www.intercom.com/help/en/articles/5180516-send-repeatable-messages-based-on-events-you-track-in-intercom) that the feature is available only in some specific cases.

uploading and managing email templates

Hi,I know this question was asked elsewhere, but the link in the answer goes to page which details how to manually edit a template but not to upload one.What I’m hoping to achieve is that we store our email templates and blocks in a repository such as Gitlab, so they are version controlled, and then automate their upload via API to Intercom as part of our merge pipeline.Is this even possible? And if so, is someone able to direct me to the documentation for this please?

Triggers when an event doesn't happen

I am using Intercom for the 1st time and setting up rule based emails.  The emails I want to send are based on events not happening i.e. a customer does not add users, a customer does not make a booking. Could you advise how I may do this?  I can see how to do it where an event does happen but ultimately I want my rule to look like:Where user role X has not done event Y after Z amount of timeThen send emailThanks in advance

Send Intercom replies to original sender email

I just started using Intercom. We have multiple people managing replies from a single account, which works well. Is there a way to also send the Intercom replies to the original sender email? For example: our group-managed email is example@gmail.com. When a user sends an email to example@gmail.com it gets forwarded to Intercom, where it’s replied to. However, there’s no history of the email in example@gmail.com. This is a problem because I still need to manage/track the email threads in Gmail in addition to Intercom. Mainly because I’ll need to pick up communication out of office hours and over the weekend. How can i solve this?
