Issues triggering workflows in an SPA using GTM

I have intercom messenger installed in my SPA using GTM. In various places in the product I have buttons with the key value pair data-testid="get-help". 

The issue I’m having is that when the site loads one button with the above data-testid is visible and clicking it triggers the messenger as required. See first image below, help button on the left triggers a workflow in the messenger (all fake data btw).

 

I then have the following, which shows when a user clicks a different button and in this space we have another help button (see top left of the green space). This button again has data-testid="get-help" and operates in the exact same way as the other help button but when clicking it, it doesn’t trigger the workflow in the messenger. 

 

I don’t understand why it’s not triggering the workflow and how to resolve this. Any help/guidance appreciated.

Can’t edit for some reason so an improved post below…

 

I have intercom messenger installed in my SPA using GTM. In various places in the product I have buttons with the key value pair data-testid="get-help". 

In intercome I have a workflow set to trigger a messenger chat when buttons with the data-testid="get-help" are clicked.

The issue I’m having is that when the site loads one button with the above data-testid is visible and clicking it triggers the messenger as required. See first image below, help button on the left triggers a workflow in the messenger (all fake data btw).

But when I open a new button appears (with the data-testid) on the page without the URL changing it does not trigger the workflow. 

 

Below is what shows when a user clicks a different button and in this space we have another help button (see top left of the green space). This button again has data-testid="get-help" and operates in the exact same way as the other help button but when clicking it, it doesn’t trigger the workflow in the messenger.

Now solved by using the custom launcher

Hi @Kieran Witt ! Ebenezer here from Engineering Support👋.

It looks like you already wrote into the Support Team and got an answer from my colleague Joel.

I’ll repost the answer here just in case;

If you’d like the Messenger to launch from a specific button, link or element in your app, site or mobile app you can create a custom launcher. For example, you can trigger the Messenger to open when a customer clicks on your ‘Talk to us’ button or chat icon.

 

This article will guide you through the process of creating a custom launcher so that it feels completely at home on your product, site or mobile app.

 

Note: You can add as many custom launchers to your product, website or mobile app as you wish!
