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

Is it possible to change the details of the push notifications payloads in order to increase the app badge count accordingly to the chat pending messages?

We did implement the intercom Integration with our mobile app and everything works like a charm BUT we realised we are sending communications to our clients over the chat but they don't seem to realise messages are waiting for them since the app badge count is zero. I'd tried to increase the value over the AppDelegate methods but can't make it increase the count when the app is not running or in background. Also tried to create a Notification Extension for the app but the criteria for the modifications won't meet since the payload of the notifications has the value mutable content set to false (mutableContent: NO)  Another way to make this work would be to send notifications as silent ones but don't know if the payload from Intercom's notifications is customisable. Any help with this subject would be much appreciated. Bests.

Intercom changing SwiftUI app's accent color?

I am working on a SwiftUI iOS app.  Building with the latest SDK (Xcode 15.4) to run on iOS 16 and above. We set our App’s accent color using the Global Accent Color Name build setting.  As soon as I include the Intercom Package via SPM our accent color is changed to the default blue.  Why is Intercom changing the accent color?

Exporting articles - how do you actually export them using the API?

HiI know that I need to use the API to export articles, and I’ve looked at a couple of existing questions around this. The answer seems to be, you need to use the API and to look at the article Formatting and exporting your articles with the API for answers. That article doesn’t have any information about exporting articles using the API. It has one line of text right at the bottom, pointing you to the developer docs, but not guidelines as to how to start.  I looked at the data export section of the developer docs and gave that a try, and first of all found out that it will only pull data from a 90 day period, so pretty useless if you want to export docs that have been created over time. I tried the Export API endpoint with a shorter time period and still had issues. For anyone else trying, you first have to Create a Data export, the response from that request will give you a job number. You then need to download the data export, using the job number.I tried this in the Intercom test e

Chrome not allowing 3rd party cookies

Hi all, I saw this post somewhat related to what i’m about to post it’s not the same. Essentially, Chrome is not allowing 3rd party cookies so I was wondering if there’s anything we need to take into account for Intercom as we’re a current Intercom customer.  Intercome’s error:> Chrome is moving towards a new experience that allows users to choose to browse without third-party cookies.

Using Intercom's API to calculate common conversation metrics

I have been using the Intercom API to try to recreate the regular metrics in Metabase. I have tried using this resource but haven’t found it to be particularly helpful. For example, if I try this query, the response maps to the New Conversations Metric in the Intercom dashboard instead of the Assigned Conversations metric which is my intention. SELECT  "Inbox Details - Team Assignee"."inbox_name" AS "Inbox Details - Team Assignee__inbox_name",  COUNT(*) AS "count"FROM  "public"."conversations_data" LEFT JOIN "public"."inbox_details" AS "Inbox Details - Team Assignee" ON "public"."conversations_data"."team_assignee_id" = "Inbox Details - Team Assignee"."inbox_id"WHERE  (    (      "Inbox Details - Team Assignee"."inbox_name" = 'VIP Support Inbox'    )       OR (      "Inbox Details - Team Assignee"."inbox_name" = 'Support'    )    OR (      "Inbox Details - Team Assignee"."inbox_name" = 'VIP Escalation Inbox'    )    OR (      "Inbox Details - Team Assignee"."inbox_name" = 'Escalation I

Chart Drill in Conversations not loading

Over the past few months I have been using a custom report to review conversations containing certain keywords using the chart drill-in feature. Usually the full conversation is shown within the reporting tab as that is easier to click through the conversations quickly. However, the past week or so I have had issues with the conversations not being shown and need to use the ‘View in inbox’ button in order to review the conversation. It is usually less than 1,000/month that get pulled into the report. When I try to refresh the report it populates the first few conversations but then goes back to just showing a blank page (shown below). Is there any way to resolve this so that all conversations are able to be viewed using the drill in feature?

Has anyone attempted a more advanced Salesforce integration?

How have you gone about it? We are currently using Salesforce Service Cloud as our primary Support ticketing solution and have tried Intercom's out of the box integration. However, its hard to get chat transcripts to sync properly to the CASE opposed to being a task with a CONTACT. Eventually, we would like to use Intercom as an interface for customers to easily create cases on their own, as an alternative to Custom/Resolution bots and Chat based triage - which right now is very manual (as Cases are created from the Inbox by an Employee). Also, we are looking into building out some webhooks to sync Account based details more easily, as the User centric model doesn't work well for our B2B product. Anyone in the same boat, that may have similar use cases, that have built out a solution? Curious to hear from others.

Is there any way to create a callback request through the API?

Hi,I wanted to know if there is any possible way to trigger a callback request through setting a conversation attribute ‘last_inbound_call_estate’ to ‘Awaiting callback’. As all I can seem to find is that this data attribute is only accessible through the phone workflow and can only be added and modify by Fin though the workflow.It would be nice if there was an option to set the ‘last_inbound_call_estate’ to ‘Awaiting callback’ for any conversation so the active team members would automatically get the call in their inbox, just like when they request a callback through the phone workflow, but without them having to actively call… Wether it is though API or through a messenger workflow it would be nice to integrate.
