Outbound

What is the difference between an inline and a floating banner?

Can I A/B test banner messages?

I've been exporting all message data as in https://developers.intercom.com/intercom-api-reference/v0/reference#downloading-the-dataBut I can't see how to keep track of messages within series with this message data model. Recent exports I've made (now we use Series instead of regular campaigns for some promotions) have broken my reports, since the column Folder / CampaignName is set NULL. Please help

We have tried using the Intercom default outbound address for ema ils, but we experienced that all of our emails and replies to emails ended up in spam or junk from the clients. We then switched to using "Use teammate's Intercom account email", which has been fine in terms of delivery, but now all the clients get access to our personal work email and the clients end up sending emails outside of the Intercom sphere and directly to our Outlook.  It seems both versions are creating issues for us. Do you have any experience with the above or any suggestions on how to combat these two issues?

When editing an email message in a regular campaign, in the select audience section, there is a very useful filter to avoid SPAM folders, which excludes disengaged users (users who hasn't opened past 20 emails or so). I can't see such a feature when editing an email within a Serie. Is there a workaround? is this filter set by default when the message is within a Serie?

If I set an ongoing outbound email to "when {{ custom data attribute }} is exactly 1 day ago", will this email send every time the custom data attribute reaches 1 day ago, or will it only send the first time this is the case? Follow up, if it is set to "when {{ custom data attribute }} is less than 5 days", will it send every day when it is less than 5 days, only once from days 1-5, or only once per contact regardless of how many times the custom data attribute is reset and enters this range. Thank you.

Hi, is there any way to set conditions trigger between steps, for example, wait one day --> if number of orders increased, switch to [this], else, switch to [this] Thank you

Is there a way to limit a post to only send to the first 100 users that meet the defined criteria?

Hello, I want to set rules based on user segment.  For example, as a scheduling app, if someone has not scheduled their first meeting, I want to direct them to a re-engagement email sequence. Otherwise, they can progress. Here's my question: if I don't set any rules (because meetings are not associated with a URL or time on a page), can I use the "Who will proceed" section to target the user segment we to proceed, will that group progress? Additionally, will users who don't fit that parameter be considered "not matched" and proceed accordingly?  I've attached a screenshot demonstrating the concept.

I get the message "Email can't be sent right now as your workspace is being reviewed. We've emailed your workspace admin with more details." No email from Intercom and chat is unresponsive. What do I do? This is very frustrating, as we've just moved our emails to Intercom, and are now having to move it back to Salesforce.

Ive been struggling with this for the past few months and seems no one can assist me with a permanent solution

Hello, Intercom Community.I would like to create a Series that would use the combination of posts and pushes.The desired outcome1) user is entering the series2) we are waiting for some time and sending the POSTIF the post IS delivered (user was online), we will wait for another period of time and will send another post (of course, if the exit rules were not triggered)IF the post IS NOT delivered, we will send a push notification3) we will wait for another period of time and repeat post->push with the other messages On the screenshot you can see the draft. I would like to clarify a couple of things.If the post IS NOT delivered (user was not online), we are sending the push. Ideally user is clicking on it and opens the APP. WILL the previously send post be delivered since the user visited the platform? Or since we moved from the post to the push, Series will not send previously planned Post?

We have some automated behaviors in our application that should preferably not run during the product tour. I'd like to be able to append "?producttour=1" in the URL so we can deactivate some functionalities in the code. Is that something that's possible or that will eventually be? Thank you

I want to send a post message to our users as soon as they log into the app or the web. Basically, for it to pop-up as they log in, if possible.I'm confused about how to make the filters accurate to that criteria: Does putting "time on current page = 1 second" cover it? Or do I need to follow that with our homepage URL maybe? Any other tips are welcome :), I'm still figuring things out.Thanks!

Hi everyone! Trying to set my first series live, but when I press the button "Set live" my entry rule shows me the message "finish editing your changes". Then I see popup - how many customers will be in my audience when I start the series, I press "OK" and ... get the notification (red block on top of the page) - "The audince is invalid" 0_o My series is very simple, I did it by template, and all changes have finished. How I can fix that??

Example: If a user requests a booking with a plumber. We automatically send him a confirmation with his Name, Date requested and plumbing service details selected etc... This could be sent by mail, push or both.

We want to send our welcome campaign from the account manager assigned.  So far, I've duplicated the campaign and adjusted the sender, but it's tough to scale and manage with our growing number of account managers.  Is there a better way? Maybe now that we migrate to Series? 🙏

I build my product tour and when I get to stage 5, or add another step, it says that the URL doesn't match and the site can't be loaded.  The challenge for us is that we built our portal via Stacker (a 3rd party front end linking with airtable) and to get intercom on our site, we added the code that was generated and sent it to the guys for them to load on. It appears that there may be an issue with how it's configured?  Can anyone assist?

This is in case of series where I'd like users to not receive product tours in succession.

Hi,I'm building my product's onboarding using series. I found that product tours doesn't work on mobile, so I want to show mobile users a post/chat instead of the tour. Is this a good practice? Is there a better way for matching mobile/desktop users than checking OS prop? Thanks 

When and how does a customer enter a Series?
