Messenger

Hi, I cannot connect to my admin account in Vietnam. My company is based in France. I have made a research and understand that I need to change the Javascript code into api_base: 'https://[your app ID].intercom-messenger.com' Could you please confirm to me if this is still working as a workaround? If yes, can you show me how to change the Javascript code with screenshots, it would be much easier from my side? Because after doing this, I still cannot load Intercom.If this solution is not working anymore, would it be possible to have another solution on this please? Thank you for your help!Kind regards,Phuong

I added a “New Converstation” widget in Home but it is not visible to the visitorsOnly “search for help” widget is visible.“New Converstation” widget should be added under “search for help” widget.How can i fix this issue? 

Hi,I created data connector to connect Intercom to Zendesk and tested it. It creates a Zendesk ticket at that testing phase. Then I created a workflow where I trigger the Zendesk data connector if the customer requests talking to a human and offer to add Name and Email. There are two paths: first path (A, when selected, tells the requester that a ticket was created and second path (B) in case the ticket creation has failed.In the preview, it shows that path A was selected and a ticket was created (without receiving concretely a ticket on Zendesk but this is fine since it is preview). When I make live test, it shows always path B i.e. connection to Zendesk has failed. There are no logs shown in the Intercom account. It is impossible to debug I contacted you since last Friday to get human assistance and I followed all the instructions then silent radio for 24 hours.  We are paying a lot of money for a service not working as announced and with no assistance. On our

When we send a conversation response to someone other than the original user listed on the conversation, it will change the linked user to the conversation. Example, we are in a conversation with a user and need to confirm something with the client relative to this conversation but we do not want the original user included in our query to the client. It will auto-link the users instead of allowing us to easily change who we are sending to. Additionally, we won’t want the user to see the conversation details to the client but it appears to show all. We don’t want to use linked tickets because we need to have the client see the conversation thread in order to provide the necessary guidance relative to our query.

We have an issue that affects users ability to read their own messages in Intercom (SDK 18.8.1) on iOS. I was told by Intercom support that this is expected behaviour due to a product limitation and that I had to submit my request/idea here instead of contacting support.So here it is. Our customers are contacting us about low contrast text (dark gray on black background) in the latest SDK version on iOS, making it almost impossible to read their own messages.Idea: look into a fix for this so that we don’t have to tell our users to turn off darkmode on their devices.Thanks!Example: (text in the black bubble says “test test” but almost impossible to read) 

Hello!I´m experiencing the following issue. When I send a message, or reply to a message to certain Instagram accounts (only happens with IG), sometimes that message is sent 1 or 2 extra times. This represents a very poor experience for our clients and is very confusing and annoying when having a conversation.Hope someone can help.

Hi all! I have a workflow built out where clients can select one of two options or type a message to fin. We have have multiple clients get stuck when selecting an option and getting a “Not Sent” error (see image). They are then blocked from sending a message. If the assistant option was selected, the next phase of the workflow does not allow a message to fin, but the new options from that phase are not available to the user. This may be anecdotal, but we have only seen it with clients in Germany so far. Any ideas what is causing this and how to prevent it? 

After I complete the information to sign-up for a new account I am redirected to a “403 Forbidden: Workspace Suspended” page. 

Hi everyone,We’re currently facing an issue where the Intercom Messenger is not loading as expected in our application. This seems to affect desktop , and we haven’t been able to identify a consistent cause yet. We’ve already checked for any custom CSS or JS conflicts, but the problem persists. Tried installing using multiple methods .We came across a few older threads with similar concerns, but no concrete solutions were shared. If anyone has faced this recently or has any insights on possible fixes or workarounds, we’d truly appreciate your input.Thanks in advance for your help and support!Best,Hitesh

May I know how to configure the URL for Reply in our Messenger button? Currently it is not working for me when merchants click on that button.

We're experiencing an issue where some users are unable to access the chat on mobile.We're using the Flutter SDK in our app. We've already verified that the affected users are correctly registered in our database, and the ID information is being passed properly. Interestingly, the chat is working fine for other users.How can we resolve this issue?  

Hello, I’m trying to install the in app chat to my SaaS product. We send both email and user id, but the user id is the only thing intercom is taking. Here’s the initiation code:window.Intercom?.('boot', { api_base: 'https://api-iam.intercom.io', app_id: 'lv2etfg0', name: email, email, user_id: userId user_hash: intercomIdentityVerification?.userIdHash }); Ideally I would like to get also the email address, since just the user id doesn’t help me recognize who is the user. Please assist! 

We have Intercom installed in our web-based app but lately 20% of our users are experiencing issues with being unable to close the chat - there is no 'x' or down arrow appearing in their window. Even if it shows the down arrow, clicking it will not close the chat. The only way to get it working again is by refreshing the page.Has anyone else encountered this problem and found a permanent fix?

Dear community. I'm opening this thread to have the following checked. I want to use the conversations ids as protocols ids, and I want to pass this id automatically whenever the end-user opens a new chat with my team. I have set a custom bot (from new conversations) and I tried to find the conversation id on the following list:  But I wasn't able to find this option. Could someone give me a workaround for this? Whenever my end-user opens a new conversation, I need to pass this id automatically Your help is much appreciated. Thank you very much!Kind regards,Rodrigo.

We've integrated Intercom Messenger into our web application, using JWTs for authenticated users.The backend flow is designed to find or create an Intercom contact for each user. If a contact doesn't exist, it's created with:{  "user_id": "intercomContactId",  "name": "our_user_email",  "email": "our_user_email",  "external_id": "userId_in_our_system"}This data is then included in the JWT sent to the frontend. The problem is that after several frontend reloads, Intercom creates multiple new contacts with the same user information. 

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 som

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

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?
