Hi, a a product tour I built is only showing after page refresh. I added a “wait 3 seconds” rule to see if there needs to be a delay but that didn’t help. I’ve seen in another question that selecting an element “by text” may be a better option but I’m not seeing that option anywhere.

Hey
It sounds like your site may be a single page application, and we don’t know the URL page matches until that refresh happens. Websites that are a Single Page Application (SPA) are characterized by very few page refreshes and lots of asynchronous JavaScript require Intercom integration in a slightly altered way. This involves including the Intercom JavaScript library file in your HTML head element and making a few extra JS calls. Essentially you will need to make sure you implement the update call when the user changes URLs. The linked documentation on integrating Intercom in a SPA will provide complete details.
Regarding the “by text” selector, this is actually for Tooltips and not Product Tours!
