Messenger

5 years ago when we installed intercom into our suite of web and mobile applications, our custom messenger launcher would display the total number of unread messages as a small red circle near our custom launcher. This was a great way to let someone know they have a message waiting. However, I've realized it disappeared, and am having a very difficult time bringing the red circle with the volume of unread messages back so it is displayed near our custom launcher.  My investigation did reveal that we were/are using the "old" version of messenger, so I upgraded one of my test workspaces to the new messenger, hoping that it would resolve the issue, but it did not. That said, the "messages" icon inside the updated messenger DOES display the total unread notifications, but because that red notice isn't visible when the messenger is closed, the user does not know a message is waiting. Help! Thank you

My messenger is disappearing when I click it. This video shows what I am seeing. This is for logged in users only so you can't replicate it https://www.loom.com/share/d1fdb8848aea4728ae9c4f4a2c0ff0a8/p>

Our team is considering changing our approach to customer support in which customers on certain plans can only get live support via our Intercom integration within a smaller range of hours than our customers on higher price plans. Is there a way to set this up in Intercom so the messenger shows the correct support hours & response time based on their user profile? We were planning on putting users into segments in Intercom if that would help make this possible.

Is it possible to limit the number of conversations per month that a company can have on Intercom?

I'm in messenger settings trying Current Page URL does not contain "theurl.com" but the messenger continues to show up.

I would like to know how to launch the chat from a button when intercom isnt coded into the webplace but integrated with GTM.  The article linked below shows a Java Code and not how to launch custom launchers from buttons using GTM installed Intercom. See LINK: https://www.intercom.com/help/en/articles/2894-customize-the-intercom-messenger-technical Can anyone help me?

The list has username, and amount listed. Can a process be used where by name of user to message, and the message to send be picked up from an excel sheet / google sheet?

Messenger not closing! Our customers cannot close the messenger when they open it. It happens sometimes not always. We have reproduced the issue only 1 time. Did you face this issue? What can be the reason?    

We are trying to use intercom for a cross-platform Desktop & Mobile app. Unfortunately, Intercom does not support desktop apps. Therefore, we'd like to link to the help center instead. When we link to the help center, we'd like to be able to identify the user. Two questions: Is it possible to link to the help center, passing two query parameters for the User ID & User Hash, so the Messenger can securely identify the user?Is it possible to pass a query parameter of some kind to open the messenger right away?

To protect client privacy I can't really send in a screen recording of this happening. In my position, I only leave notes for our front-end representatives. For the past couple of months, in the new version of the inbox, I've found that when I'm typing up a note and a chat enters the teammate's queue I'm taken out of that note. ie I'm typing a note > new chat comes into the teammate's queue > I'm now either typing in the new chat, or I'm not focused on the text field and typing is just triggering hotkeys making prompts appear for adding canned responses etc. Can this be looked into? There have been instances where I've been leaving an internal note and right when I press cmd + enter a new chat comes into the teammate's queue and now an internal note is sent as a chat message to the client.

Recently, my gsuite address got a bit overly protective and started to put the messages from the real users to the SPAM folder. Unfortunately, after I'm checking the spam in the email and marking it as NOT-spam, Intercom does not indicate those messages as an incoming one, even though the emails were moved to the inbox and not in the spam anymore. How I can make sure that after I move email from SPAM to NON-Spam folder, it will be properly recorded and attached to the relevant customer correspondence history?

I need to embed intercom messenger in specific place of my site and customize it view if possible. Hide/open it depending of active tab and change inner styles. Is there way to do this?

Is there any kind of recall feature or a delay setting in messenger? I'm human, and sometimes I catch a typo in a response I've just sent. It would be great to have to ability to correct it or delete that response before it's sent to the customer.

My customers and I are experiencing issues where the messenger cannot be hidden after it is opened. Clicking the messenger button in the bottom right corner just opens another instance on top of the existing one. When the new instance is opened on top of the old one the collapse arrow appears over top the messenger. Clicking the collapse arrow closes the second instance but there is no way to close the first instance of the Messenger. There is no X or collapse button. It is functional, just cannot be closed.

I need a hyperlink that can direct to the platform page with the chat open. It's possible?

how do i place the whatsapp button?

It appears I can't set a chat footer. This is very important to us and I'm super-surprised that it doesn't exist yet for such a mature product. Have I missed something or is it coming? Thanks, Neil

Hello, We want to add in Android/iOS the Messenger and Helpcenter. We "think" we have all well configured because in Android we are seeing everything good. In iOS is not working looks like the screen appear and disappear in less than a second. For mor information, we are calling Intercom.presentHelpCenter() (see video). Any help is appreciated Thanks!

I have integrated intercom in React Native using official github libraryhttps://github.com/intercom/intercom-react-native/p>and it works great, but when user open messenger for the first time it displayed in default style (blue color). after that it detect the custom messenger color (changed in Intercom settings) and displayed it as expected. I hope you will find time to help us to fix this issue. Issue similar to https://github.com/tinycreative/react-native-intercom/issues/232/p>

Love the news tab in the messenger. However, it seems that it is hard-coded that the order of the news in that tab is based on when I created them.  Is there any way to change the order of the news in that tab?

I would like to add our privacy policy to the messenger for all of our clients to see. How that could be done the best way through Messenger? Am I able to add hyperlinks somehow to our team intro etc? Any suggestions or ideas are more than welcome! 😀

I'd like the Intercom chatbot to show up everywhere EXCEPT this one page, which our users use to record new videos: https://www.sendspark.com/new-recording/p> How can I stop the chatbot from appearing on only one page? Thanks!

I configured Data Hosting Region in my iOS app and since then i'm receiving an error "Something went wrong, give it another try".When i remove the IntercomRegion field from Info.plist, at works again. Any suggestions?

We have enabled the messenger onto one of our applications. This application can generate a URL that can be shared externally outside of the company. Is there a way to hide the messenger from being displayed based on URL schema? Example scenario:Application is opened (m-intercom.com)User views a specific area of the application (m-intercom.com/user/XYZ)User clicks a button to generate external link (m-intercom.com/external/XYZ)User provides external link to users not in our Intercom instance There is a way that you can manage the chat and messenger bot to specific conditionals but it seems to still display the Messenger widget? In the example above can we mark the messenger to not be displayed "if URL does not contain "user""?

Has anyone created a custom launcher with the messenger receiving custom notifications based on user attributes and basically reproduced the functionality of Facebook's notification bell? Is this possible?
