Outbound

I want to know if in the intercom I can send a cadence of emails where the sending of the second email is triggered if the user has downloaded the file from the previous email?

I moved all of our transactional emails to intercom, but it’s a real issue that we can’t use a workaround for people who need to reset password if they have unsubscribed. 

Hello everyone, Our company uses Intercom to make marketing campaigns. When we send them in Post format we can disable the replies but when they are in Mail format it is not possible and we have several replies from customers. Does anyone know how we can block these responses? Thank you Paola

Is there a way to send a follow up email as a reply to a previous email in a series?Example:New lead enters the funnel > We send an email via Series > If no reply after 3 days > Send X email as reply to first email creating a thread > If no reply after 7 days > Send email as reply to the threadMost email automation services (Salesloft, Outreach, Apollo, etc.) offer this but I’m struggling to pull this off with Intercom. 

Hi all! I am looking to send an automated outbound message every time a new team member signs on for the first time welcoming them to our company. Ideally, each time somebody with the tag “new nurse” signs on for the first time, this message would be sent to their inbox giving them a brief introduction and some best practices. I don’t want it to show up for anyone who currently has this tag, only new nurses that are starting in the future.Is there an easy or easier way to accomplish this? I was brainstorming and I suppose I could also create an alternate tag that only new employees get, and then manually remove it once the message goes out? In short, I want to automate an intro message that will only go out to new employees joining our company. Any help would be appreciated. 

Hi everyone, I’d like to send a CSAT rating when a ticket (not a conversation is closed) is there any way to set this up?I tried something with the custom bot but unfortunately it doesn’t work because I guess of this rule “ The conversation includes at least one message from both the customer and a teammate" and in ticket there is currently no interaction (messages). Or maybe I’m wrong and conversation rating can only be triggered for conversation and not ticket? I’d appreciate your help!Thank you

Hi,Newbie alert here. I’d like to for the chatbot to capture feedback from a user. Something like:  Please describe who you are and what you’re looking forI get the impression that that isn’t really possible or am I mistaken? 

Just wondering if we can do something similar to messanger but wihtout the message function? What we want to do is use intercom to display our tours, links to help content etc in our products, but we aren’t quite ready to have people messaging us in intercom. 

We're curious if the newly released Tooltip feature set was designed with any accessibility requirements in mind. It's great we can adjust colors to ensure contrast ratios are met but can these tool tips be used by users who require keyboard tabbing? Can they be utilized by those who consume content with a screen reader?

Hi I want to ask how to stop sending a series of email campaign until the user ends up logging back in to my product? I created a particular reengagement email campaign, and I want to stop sending the rest of the emails after the user returns to my product. How should I set up my email campaign to detect such activity?  Thank you! 

I’m looking for a solution that allows my web app visitors to 1) submit feedback at any time and 2) submit bugs they encounter. I’d like there to be a button on my web app or simply click the Intercom message app and have a place within the Messenger that allows this. I would need to know the section of the app they are in.I’m not able to find a solution to this on the Intercom website or demos. Does this exist?

Objective: Programmatically (API) send SMS through Intercom while passing in a payload of variables to inject into the SMS template. We can’t find a path forward to utilize event metadata to fill in SMS template variables inside of series. Our current path that led to a dead-end isCreate a series with an event trigger. We POST an event to effectively send an SMS Use event metadata to pass in sms template variable values The only event attributes that show up in the SMS template builder are <eventname> first, last and count. Not our custom event metadata we specified.

Hi there,We are experiencing a high level of agents reporting that Intercom is extremely slow and keeps crashing when selecting/sending replies. Any advice would be really helpful. Thank you.

We are preparing to launch a new feature on an existing page, for which I am building a product tour in Intercom. What I need is for the product tour to automatically start once we deploy our feature and the tour to production environment in early Feb. There shall be 2 user classes –Existing account users who login after our feature launch – they should see the tour ONLY on their 1st visit since launch and not repeatedly after that.Net new users opening an account in say March – who would see the tour ONLY on their 1st visit launch and not repeatedly after that. Have set ‘Show Automatically’ = ON, with no settings for URL or users. Also set ‘Use Everywhere’ = ON Questions:My product tour didn’t seem to start automatically when I had everything blank including users in the Show Automatically section; but it worked when I switched users to visitors. However, our site is a secure site, not public site. Also, I fear it didn't behave exactly for other test users... I don’t see any expli

Hi all!I would like to create a product tour, and I am having some trouble since one of the pages that I'd like to add is a pop-up and the URL does not change from the previous screen. Is there a way I can get Intercom to recognize the new page (even with the same URL as the previous one)? Intercom sent me this article, but I am wondering if there is a more simple solution that does not involve changing the code.

When I run this method the Intercom screenis called normally and with the text I define.After opening the chat and sending the predefined message the bot goes into action with the messages to give us more context about the chat.After the second interaction, the chat returns with the same message as before.In theory, this behavior is wrong, it should only bring the text to the first interaction Attention to the input! 

Hi there, We are currently setting up our NPS scorer within Intercom Surveys. But, we are having trouble figuring out the best way to send this survey to a limited amount of customers each day (so, in batches). This is because we want to have an idea of our NPS score throughout the entire year, and not have this survey sent out to our full customer base on the same day. Because this wouldn’t be representative if the satisfaction on that day is lower than usual.  We do want to keep everything in one survey to make sure the Survey Report is insightful for all NPS responses. I hope this makes sense and that someone can help us out 🙌

I’d love someone to explain to me like I’m 5, how Guided Users work. If I do a 5 step product tour, then that counts as 1 guided user if they go through all 5 steps right? What about if there’s a checklist and it links out to 5 different product tours? Would that be 5 different guided users or 1 guided user?This is real time footage of me right now:  

I added an image to a post. It renders fine in preview, but does not show at all when I set it live. There is only a large blank space where the image should be. The image is a .png that does not exceed size restrictions. Appreciate any advice.thank you!

I cannot set a product tour live. It stays in "Draft" and I cannot click "Set live". It tells me "Finish your tour before setting it live" Trying for hours now.

I would like to include estimated business size as found in the user profile with my NPS export. Currently when using the NPS export function, it appears ‘ canned’ or standard format, I can’t add in fields? Do you know how I can review NPS data by customer, including estimated business size?We have this field populated from Hubspot datascreen shot below for field reference - I would like to see this with NPS such that I can better understand NPS by business type  

I’d like to be able to upload templates to Intercom that can be used for SMS and Surveys. Is this possible, if so where would I do that?If this isn’t possible, can it be added as a future request?

I am currently making some changes in product tours I already have setup, after editing all the steps I click “save and close”, but the changes I made go back to the original. Am I doing something wrong?

Hi all,We are currently setting up product tours for our platform and we are running in some issues when it comes down to switching pages.We use a combination of ajax loaded pages and real redirect to new pages. The ajax loaded pages work fine. But when I’m redirecting to a new page to continue the tour the tour is reset to step 1 or sometimes step 2.We already checked if the selected element is available in the new page and also set the “navigate to” in that step.Has anybody any idea?And another strange thing: after restarting the tour again it works fine ...

I see two options: Product trigger or content/attribute/event rule. I’m unsure if both of these are necessary to resolve each step automatically. I want each step to resolve as soon as the user clicks the CTA button. Which settings do I need to update to make this happen?
