Is there a way to adjust the position of the messenger on mobile devices?

It seems that connecting my intercom account to the community here has locked in my username. I’d rather not have my full name on posts, but it doesn’t seem like there’s a way to change my username. Is there any way to change it? For reference, I know that Gainsight (the community platform that the community is built on) has the option to use SSO and still let users choose their own usernames. Personally, I prefer that in communities than being forced to use whatever details are pulled across by the SSO. Thanks!

Python SHA-1 webhook verification

I want to make this post as I have spent the last day trying to understand why the X-Hub-Signature being sent in the header wasn’t matching the the HMAC signature that I was getting when converting the JSON body and Client Secret from the request.If you are using Python, MAKE SURE YOU USE SEPARATORS IN THE JSON DUMP BEFORE ENCODING. Here is the method that worked for me: def authenticate_intercom_request(self,x_hub_sig): json_string = json.dumps(self.body, separators=(',', ':')) hashed = hmac.new(self.secret.encode('utf-8'), json_string.encode('utf-8'), sha1) return hmac.compare_digest(hashed.hexdigest(), x_hub_sig[5:])Python by default will add chars in the body that will alter the returned value from Intercom, and without the separators listed above it will always fail.

Android: Disable notification Bubble?

Hi! Evaluating Intercom now as a potential replacement for my previous support system. Setup has been great so far! However, I do see one potential showstopper in the Android SDK. When receiving a push notification it is possible to open the intercom messages directly from the notification, and then have a permanent “chat bubble” on the home screen. We are a very small team with a large userbase, and can’t have a direct line to support available on users home screens. Is there a way to disable this? I do want users to get notified when there is a new message, and it could be fine to open the messenger directly. However, to show a permanent chat bubble on the home screen is not something I am comfortable with. Can you disable this in some way?

Has anyone successfully used a third party for a workaround to use OpenID for SSO?

My team has run into a roadblock in setting up single sign on for our platform. We use OpenID, and it’s not configurable natively in Intercom. I’ve found some articles stating that some third party partners offer a ‘go between’ workaround for this, but I’d love to hear from the community if anyone has successfully set this up and what the experience was like with the third party they chose.

iOS build error using @intercom/intercom-react-native with Expo SDK 53 (React Native 0.79)

HelloAfter upgrading my app to Expo SDK 53 (React Native 0.79), the iOS build fails when using @intercom/intercom-react-native.Error message:❌  (ios/Tikin/AppDelegate.swift:1:2)> 1 | #import <IntercomModule.h>    |  ^ no macro named 'import'  2 | import Expo  3 | import React  4 | import ReactAppDependencyProvider› 1 error(s), and 3 warning(s)This line appears in the generated AppDelegate.swift:#import <IntercomModule.h>But #import is not valid in Swift files — this causes the build to fail.Environment: Expo SDK: 53 React Native: 0.79 @intercom/intercom-react-native version: [insert version if known] Build: EAS Build for iOS It seems the native module is injecting Objective-C code (#import) into a Swift file. Is there an update or change needed for compatibility with SDK 53 and RN 0.79?

Push and integration with Intercom

Hi everybody, we are integrating Intercom with two of our custom built applications. In these two applications we have built the standard integration with Intercom. When I sent a banner or chat from Intercom to these applications, they only appear within these applications when I do a refresh. Of course this is not the behaviour that we want: we want our users to directly see the banner/chat in the applications. Both applications a web based cloud native. It seems that the push mechanisme does not work. What are we doing wrong?

Can I trigger a Slack notification when a new lead comes in?

Is there a way to automatically trigger a Slack notification whenever a new lead is captured in Intercom? I want my team to get instant alerts in a specific Slack channel whenever a lead submits a form or starts a conversation (Read More). Are there any built-in integrations or recommended workflows to achieve this?

Prevent users from opening multiple conversations doesn't work

Hi! I have the “Prevent users from opening multiple conversations” option enabled in Intercom settings, but when calling Intercom.presentMessageComposer(); from my React Native app, it always creates a new conversation instead of navigating to the existing one.Is this the expected behavior, a known issue, or am I missing something in the implementation?What’s the best way to handle this scenario?Thanks!

Here are the errors:  jetified-intercom-sdk-base-15.10.3-runtime.jar: D8: java.lang.NullPointerException: Cannot invoke "String.length()" because "<parameter1>" is nullWhat I’ve Tried: Checked build.gradle for SDK version compatibility Cleaned and rebuilt project (./gradlew clean && ./gradlew build) Searched through Intercom docs and changelogs Looked at open issues in the GitHub repo My Setup: React Native version: 072 Intercom SDK version: 15.10.3   Gradle: 8.0.1 Questions: Are these methods deprecated or moved to a different namespace? Is there a recommended way to check login state and fetch user attributes in the latest SDK? Should I downgrade to a previous version of the Intercom SDK? Any help is greatly appreciated!

Problema con getUnreadConversationCount() en React Native: siempre retorna 0 aunque hay mensajes no leídos

Hola comunidad,Estoy integrando Intercom en una app React Native (bare, usando EAS Build, no Expo Go) y tengo el siguiente problema:Uso el método Intercom.getUnreadConversationCount() para mostrar un badge de mensajes no leídos.El usuario está correctamente identificado (userId y email coinciden con los del panel web).Desde el panel web de Intercom, envío mensajes al usuario (tanto desde un agente humano como desde el bot).En el panel web, los mensajes aparecen como “Not seen” para el usuario.Sin embargo, en la app, el método getUnreadConversationCount() siempre retorna 0, incluso después de recibir mensajes nuevos y refrescar el conteo.Ya probé con mensajes automáticos/bot y tampoco se refleja el conteo.No necesito push notifications, solo quiero mostrar el número de mensajes no leídos.Estoy usando la última versión de @intercom/intercom-react-native y la integración nativa está bien (la mensajería funciona).¿Alguien ha tenido este problema?¿Hay alguna limitación conocida en el SDK de

Integrating Intercom with Circle.IO

We plan purchase Circle. IO for our course and community platform. We need to make sure that Intercom integrates with it before we finalize the purchase, though. Circle said it should integrate just fine, but we want to test it first. They asked me for an Intercom code snippet. Intercom bot directed me where I can find this. I shared it with Circle and they were unsuccessful with getting the snippet to work. Is there anyone at Intercom that can help me outside of the bot? Or anyone else use Circle and have had success integrating intercom?

How to export Intercom ID for all contacts?

I would like to export the Intercom ID of all users - and the only documentation I can find is to do this via API. I am using Postman for this but I was hoping to find a way to get it as a CSV or something easier to navigate. Can anyone point me in the right direction to get this data?

QuickReplies - Conversation not started when using quick replies.

Hi. This is on both Android (1.16.0) and iOS (18.7.2). When I start a conversation with the AI chatbot and use one of our predefined quick replies I need to wait until the textfield appears and then send a new text message or send a GIF before the AI reacts to the first quick replie I sent. This feels like a bug in the implementation and of course the chat should start right away if the user uses the quick replie feature,

Advice on migrating intercom account from an old app to a new app?

Hi there,Here’s the situation, we’ve rebuild an old application and are almost ready to a launch. We used Intercom on the old application to trigger emails and in-app messages to users, as well has handle support. What is the best way to migrate our Intercom install to the new app? Should we start a new app entirely and export our old data? Or can we just install the Intercom code in the new app, connect it to segment, and build off what we already had?Cheers
