Messenger

I just read this article (Install intercom with GTM) but it does not provide instructions on how to get the necessary variables for the Data Attributes to be sent to Intercom. Can anybody help me or point me to how to fill this part. Thanks in advance. 

When a user starts a new chat, we are seeing 2 different behaviors (for both logged in and logged out users):User opens up a new chat and there is a blank chat screen where they can send a message User opens up a new chat & bot sends welcome message and displays buttons with different topics asking the user what they need help with. This includes a "something else" button.  We want #2 to occur for every new chat. What setting can we adjust to make this happen?

I made an app that ends-up by posting messages within conversations... It is done with the Intercom API, but when we post a new message it appears into the agent inbox, but not into the Messenger on the visitor side… until the visitor or the agent sends a new message, then all is refreshing. Is there anything to do to make the messenger refresh when a new message comes from the API ?

How to disable the Messenger pop-up automatically and just keep the launcher icon? We got lots of complaints about this from our customers, they said when refreshed the website pages or loaded a new page, the Messenger pop-up bother them.

Hey,  I just added my teammate to Intercom with all the permissions enabled. But I don't see them in the "Start a conversation" section on intercom chat in my site.

I find it surprising that a company whose product is built around a live chat window, can take multiple days to reply. Messaging at the speed of snail mail can't really be counted as a chat.  For the price of your product please hire more customer support folk, you can afford it - they do a great job, but clearly they have too much to do if the response time is so poor.

The name is showing up in the Messenger in Gibberish. I'm passing a UTF-8 string: $hebrew_name = urldecode($hebrew_name); Then in the messanger code, I use it like this:  window.intercomSettings = { app_id: "kubohuj0", name: <?php echo json_encode($hebrew_name) ?>, // Full name email: <?php echo json_encode($username) ?>, // Email address created_at: "<?php echo strtotime($current_user->created_at) ?>" // Signup date as a Unix timestamp  }; I tried changing it to json_encode($name, JSON_UNESCAPED_UNICODE) ;  but to no avail.  Any ideas?

I'm embedding the messenger code for logged in users, but refreshing the page where it's embedded doesn't always change the messenger - For example, the user's name stays the same even after changing the code and showing it differently.  It seems like editing the welcome message on the messenger and saving sometimes help, but mostly I can't seem to refresh it. I'm not sure if it's a cache, or if Intercom saves the user's name the first time and won't update it on refresh.  Is there a way to flush the cache - or to flush the user?  (I'm using my own logged in user to test, which Intercom seems to recognize as my own intercom user so I can't delete it).

Hi, I would like to put third party apps (like StatusPage) even higher in the Messenger than the conversation boxes. E.g. if we have an incident I would like to put the app of StatusPage in the top of the messenger box. I just can change the order between third party apps, but not put a third party app higher than the conversation boxes. Thanks a lot :-)

How can I set the office hours for each separate MEMBER OF THE TEAM so the messages automatically gets assigned to their inbox based on the timetable? We are on Accelerate plan, yet I don't see how to do this still.

I've just signed up for Intercom and now I need to install it on my website/mobile app. How do I do this?

Is it possible to not reopen closed conversations? Currently, in the "Control your inbound conversation volume" settings, if I set "Prevent replies to closed conversations" to 0 days, I am unable to create a new chat in my test environment. Is there another way to prevent conversations from being reopened?

If we already have a floating action button (FAB) on our mobile app in the right-hand corner, what's the best way to integrate messenger? Can you design a custom button/messenger?

Customers sometimes reach out to the sales team directly (through a call/WhatsApp etc) to raise an issue. We want our sales team to be able to start a conversation with the Support team and add the customer to it.  What is the best way to support this?  

I would like the ability to kick off a zoom session from an Intercom conversation, and have Zoom automatically create a meeting id, set the meeting subject based on the client's name and put the invite into the chat. Right now I kick off client zoom sessions, based on Intercom conversations, by hand, using by personal meeting id, and locating a previously recorded session (if I ever need to review it) is difficult, because all recorded zoom sessions are called "Personal Meeting Room".

Is there a way to make the messenger bubble completely disappear on my website outside of the active hours?

The macro's are only visible when an email conversation is existing already. When a new email conversation is started by 'us' a different set of saved replies is visible (called saved content). Both are very important. Just wondering if they can be combined in one type of saved reply/macro? 

I have been running Intercom on my website for a few years and this morning I noticed that the messenger box is no longer appearing anywhere on the website. The last user enquiry was submitted 5hrs ago. I don't see any service outages.  I have sent a message via the messenger on the Intercom dashboard, but they say it could be 2 days before I get a reply, so I was wondering if anyone else was experiencing the same issue. When I go to the Network tab of Chrome DevTools I can see there is one resource that isn't being loaded (it gets stuck at pending for 5 mins, which is presumably the timeout) and then spawns another network request. Here's an example of the network request ```Request URL: wss://

Hello everyone. I encounter quite an annoying thing during the latest automation checkup. Roundrobin does its job only for the new conversations, which makes it not that useful as a tool. ExampleI have a specific queue (team) to which specific dialogues getting assigned. After that, they distributed between the online agents using the roundrobin feature.  1) During the day, agents A and B are online, working with the new dialogues etc. Closing them once the case is solved or the ball is on the user's end. We allow users to return to the old dialogue since often it is a more convenient option for the user rather than start the new dialogue.2) Agents A and B shifts are over, they set "Away and Reassign status".3) Agent C is on the shift now. 4) If any of the customers that agents A or B talked to will return to the previous conversation, the Messenger will set the agent to "Unassign" and that

Quick sanity check on the messenger snippet, is 'user_id' an alias of 'external_id' on the Contact API? Or is it the Contact id? In other words, what is 'user_id' in the Messenger snippet when enforcing verification?
