Is there a way, perhaps using CSS, to hide the three-dots menu button for downloading the transcript?Thanks you

Hi All,We’re testing Intercom’s Side Conversations feature on the Advanced plan and ran into a situation we didn’t expect.Here’s what happened: Agent 1 was actively chatting with a client in a conversation. Agent 1 started a side conversation (via email) with Agent 2 to ask for internal help. Agent 2 received the email and replied via their inbox (outside of Intercom). That reply appeared inside the original Intercom conversation (expected) AND was visible to the client (unexpected). A few hours later, the client could no longer see that reply (it seemed to disappear). We were under the impression that replies to Side Conversations via email are kept private and not shared with the customer, so we’re wondering: Is this expected behavior? Was something misconfigured in how we sent the Side Conversation email? How can we ensure these responses never surface to clients again? I’ve attached a screenshot for context. The “test back” was a response from Agent 2 via email. Appreci

From time to time, agents cannot log-in and see different errors:Developer login page instead of regular one Or error “You’re running old version of the Intercom web app...” (hard clear of cache and cookies works from 3-4 attempt)Does anyone else encounters such behavior, or are we the only lucky one? :) What helped you with that?For the context, it happens with several people at once, different devices, different IP, location. The browser is updated, no internet connection issues. We’re using EU Data Hosting, btw

We’re using react-native and the SDK version 8.5.0 on iOS 15+When our app boots, the user is logged out, so we run `Intercom.loginUnidentifiedUser()`The user then clicks Chat and we present intercom via `Intercom.present();`We then have a workflow/setting enabled for intercom to ask for the users email address (they’re not logged in)But when the input appears, you cannot click on it, if you do, it just toggles the timestamp on the input.  No matter how often we try click it, it doesn't work, we’ve tried on simulator, on device - multiple devices of diferent models and non of them work. Please advise.

We use Docusaurus for all our documentation and would like to centralize onboarding by embedding Intercom checklists and product tours directly into our docs.Our engineering team also built a custom search bot that scans our Docusaurus portal, but its button overlaps with the Intercom Messenger since both use similar placement and styling. To resolve this, we’re exploring two options: Embed Intercom content (like checklists and product tours) directly in Docusaurus pages, without relying on the Messenger or Help Center. Integrate our custom search bot into the Intercom Messenger via API, so we can unify both experiences in a single UI element. Are either of these approaches supported? Or is there another recommended way to host or display Intercom-created content outside of the default Help Center and Messenger?Thanks!

We use chat with Fin AI and we are glad of how AI answers. Also, we have an technical Documentation page (API docs). Users often asks support about code examples. Fin AI answers perfectly. But chat window is too small for this purpose. Would be perfect to let us open chat window in a full-screen mode to let user to ask AI and to view answers in a handy view.Code example:window.intercomSettings = {  app_id: 'abc123',  alignment: 'full-screen'};The view example: 

Hi, has anyone implemented Intercom in a FlutterFlow app (Web, Android, and iOS)? I'm facing CORS issues. And I'd like to know how to embed the chat instead of using the Intercom activator.

Hello there. I recently added the Intercom SDK to my Next JS web app. The problem is that when a user is not authenticated and opens the chat and then tries to log in.After logging in, they will receive the attached screenshot error when they try to open a new chat or read the old chat.I added logs to the useEffect and correctly sent user data to the Intercom as options.After reloading the page, it works properly. And I have to mention that if I don’t open the chat before logging in and try to log in, it works well. The problem occurs exactly when I open the chat, for example, on the Login page, and then attempt to log in.Here is my Intercom provider, which wrapped `_app.js`: import Intercom, { shutdown } from '@intercom/messenger-js-sdk';import { InitType } from '@intercom/messenger-js-sdk/dist/types';import { isEmpty } from 'lodash';import { ReactNode, useEffect, useMemo } from 'react';import { useSelector } from 'react-redux';import { selectBusiness, selectUser } from 'features/auth

Hello,  I was recently testing the keyboard navigation on my help site and while most things work really well, when viewing a response in the Messenger I can’t seem to navigate into the Sources section. I’m not sure if I’m doing something wrong or if this isn’t currently possible. I would like all my users, including those only using keyboards, to be able to navigate to the bot’s sources. 

Curious if Intercom has a feature (or workaround) that can visually highlight high-LTV customers in the inbox view — maybe the top 10% based on spend or subscription tier? I currently use Stripe for payment processing but the Stripe integration doesn’t seem to have this feature.Basically, I’m trying to make sure support agents can instantly spot who’s worth prioritizing or giving more attention to, especially when ticket volume spikes.Does anyone currently do this, or is there a native feature I might’ve missed?

Same as for a workflow, I would like to be able trigger my News tab in the chat messenger to specific users only. In that way, I would like to set up rules. For instance, I would like a News XYZ to be visible only for Users A, but not for users B & C. 

We operate in 2 countries and 4 languages. Each “app” needs to be split into 5 different versions.We quickly reached the limit of 22 apps to be added to the Messenger Home in the settings > channels > messenger Any way to go above 22?

Curious to know if anyone is using something other than the native image/file uploader for customers inside of messenger ? Thanks for your insight! 

How can I manage the article suggestions that comes in the messenger when a user asks a question? Lately we have been having issues with the article suggestions and want to improve/change it 

Is it possible to force the agents in our system to tag conversations before they close them? For example if an agent were to attempt to close the conversation without tagging it, it would send a message saying 'Please tag this message first!' and it would prevent them from closing the conversation

Hi everyone,Is it possible, in Intercom, to have on the Home page for Messenger (both Web and Mobile) to have a link or a button/widget that allows customers to call a specific number?I’ve managed to place a “tel:+1” on a message in a workflow, but I haven’t been able to place a number that’s easily accessible both on web and on mobile SDK. e.g.: Customer opens Messenger and clicks on an element and that straight calls the number reflected there, just for easier access.Also, on Home (Web) by customizing it with Apps the external links one interestingly accepts “mailto:” , but not “tel:”Any help? Or am I asking for features that don’t exist? 

We use intercom messenger in our vue app. In out general components(App.vue) in initializing intercom as Intercom({ app_id: process.env.INTERCOM_APP_ID })then after getting user info from backend i call:boot({ app_id: process.env.INTERCOM_APP_ID, user_id: user.id, name: user.name, }).And finally if user log out i call:shutdown()boot({ app_id: process.env.INTERCOM_APP_ID })Script works but when user opens messages in tab after logout and then log in, it see his username and everything except for his messages. It doesn’t showing. But if open widget only after log in in shows because i see spinner so there going fetch for messages. If user reload page also works. Problem appears after log out and log in

My security team is worried about allowing customers to send us image files in messenger. Is this a valid concern? Is there a way to get malware through messenger? Is anyone here restricting your file uploads?This is my third company that I've been at that uses intercom, and I've never heard this concern expressed before. So while I don't want to dismiss it, the documentation feels pretty clear about how safe this is. Plus, I need customers to be able to send us screenshots.  Thanks in advance. 

Hi, I am very new to Intercom and so far, so good. However, I'm having to use it via a tab in my Safari browser on desktop, whereas its an app on my iPhone.The browser version is really hit and miss for giving notifications and I keep missing customers.I'm used to using apps like Slack on my desktop which make staying in touch really easy. Is there not a way to have Intercom as a stand alone app on my desktop Mac?Thanks in advance for any help!Rob

Hello Intercom Community, We recently started using Intercom for our company Swipe. Can we change the location of the icon and its appearance? Thanks in advanceTeam Swipe

hi all,I have implemented intercom into my website, issue is intercom icon or messenger icon doesn’t show if my user uses ios/safari. They report that some of devices is working but most of them doesn’t show so it’s not stable at all for my business.I dont know what I do wrong here.I try to reach out intercom support but it’s bad they just like blaming back to me  something like thisI think intercom must work for mostly case (I know except for pretty old devices and os).Thank you

Is it possible have insert a “clickable” phone number into a messenger message, so a user on a mobile device can tap the message and call?E.g.When a query cannot be solved by a customer service agent via the chat, the customer service agent may say “Please call us” and insert the phone number into the message. The user, on their phone, would then tap the phone number.In HTML it would look like this: <a href="tel:6031112298"></a> The phone number above should be “clickable”Many thanks.

If a user has closed the Messenger pane, I don't want to show it when they receive a reply. I'd like it to show a notification bubble on the launcher and show the pane only when they click on it. I'm unable to find this option in any of the settings.

Hi, when we reply messages from Intercom, all the new lines were removed when it shows up in Messenger.Here is the message we sent: However, here is what it shows up in Messenger:You can see the new lines and numbers are removed. Anybody knows why?
