Hi Intercom We are trying to update the Intercom SDK for our app to the latest version, currently still on version 2.0.1 We are using React Native with Expo (version 51.0.39), and it works fine with version 2.0.1 (we are using the Expo plugin from version 8 of the React Native package), but if we try to update to the latest version, we get strange behaviors on iOS:For some users, during testing, some buttons are missing (for example the “close” button on the top left is missing, you can actually touch it but the icon is missing) Can’t send messages Can’t upload files from Google Drive   Other users had a black screen that went away after restarting the app (all of these tests were made with a release build deployed to TestFlight for iOS and Play Store as closed beta) This issue is not happening on all devices and not for all users (we had issues on iPhone 11 Pro with iOS 18.3.1, but was working fine on an iPhone 16 Pro with iOS 18.2.0)This is how we have configured the Explo plugin:[

If we click to “Help” and select one of articles, we see in navigation bar only cross button on Android and if we click on it intercom will close. Also if we click to system back button on article screen intercom also will close. For example on iOS we have two navigation buttons on article screen, back button and close button.Is it possible to change the behavior for the cross button on Android so that it returns back to the article selection or add a back button like on iOS?

Hello,We started to see a new crash in our production app since bumping the Android SDK to version 16.0.0. We've tried bumping it to 16.1.0 but still see this issue. It seems there's something missing in the layout of one of the in-app notification types which is causing this crash.Would you be able to take a look into this, please?

Hey guys,I'm looking for a tool that will make it easier for me to collect, input and categorize user feedback. Currently I'm working with a dumb spreadsheet that is way too big to get useful insights out of.Do you know any tools or features that could help me?

Release Date: 03-06-2025 📱 New Feature: Conversational Fin We’re making conversations more natural and reducing the need for escalations. More human, less rigid: We’ve removed quick reply buttons so Fin can respond fluidly—no decision trees, just natural conversation. Sources, now inline: Fin now includes source links directly in replies, so customers can verify info at a glance.

I've been using AnalyticsForIntercom for months. Now they are down for several weeks. I only see 502 bad Gateway after a login attempt. Does anyone know what's going on? Can't even cancel my account there. And their customer support is not responding for days. Thanks

Hey everyone,I’m trying to set up a data pipeline between Intercom and Snowflake to get a complete view of customer interactions. The goal is to store and analyze support conversations, user activity, and response times alongside other customer data we already have in Snowflake.Right now, we’re manually exporting data, but it’s not scalable. Ideally, we’d like an automated integration that:Regularly syncs Intercom conversations and user attributes with Snowflake. Allows us to join Intercom data with sales and product usage metrics. Doesn’t require constant engineering maintenance.I know Intercom has an API, but building a custom pipeline seems like a big lift. Has anyone set up something similar? What tools or approaches worked best for you?

Hello,I’d like to create a custom data connector. In my business, we sell coding programs with different session dates, and I want users to be able to check upcoming sessions from our database.To retrieve the relevant sessions, I need to collect a few details from the user:- Program of interest- Format- Campus (we have up to 25 campuses)For the campus selection, I don’t want users to type manually — I’d like to display a list of available campuses they can simply click on.Is this possible with a data connector? I see that Fin supports data inputs like text, number, decimal, and boolean — but is there a way to present a list of options (e.g. dropdown or buttons) for users to choose from?Thanks in advance!

I have a problem where I’m using expo-splash-screen to show a splash screen while I do loading tasks before presenting the application. The problem is that when the app receives a push notification from Intercom and we open the app from that notification Intercom presents the chat UI before the splash screen has been dismissed and the app UI has been shown. I imagine this is happening because `intercom-ios` does the handling of its push notifications internally and has not knowledge of whether the app is “ready” or not. How can we fix this?

Hi everyone,I’m Ajay Hinduja from Geneva, Switzerland, can I use Intercom to manage and send email newsletters to my users?I’m considering using Intercom not just for support and messaging, but also for regular newsletters and updates. I'd really appreciate your suggestions or insights. RegardsAjay Hinduja Geneva, Switzerland

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?

Hi everyone,I'm Dario Schiraldi, CEO of Travel Works, based in Dubai.

Are there any scripts available to migrate CDAs Tags Companies Contacts (Leads + Users) Events & Event Metadata and Articles from US to EU?

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, 

Hi,It appears that the Intercom CDN links synced to Zendesk via the ticket integration have a short expiration period of under an hour. After expiration it is not possible to view the images in Zendesk directly.Is there a setting in Intercom to extend the expiration or is it possible to remove the expiration?Thanks!

This is specifically for the followup camera request (“<app> does not have access to your camera”) after declining the first camera request. From Apple:Guideline 5.1.1 - Legal - Privacy - Data Collection and StorageThe app encourages or directs users to allow the app to access the camera. Specifically, the app directs the user to grant permission in the following way(s):- A custom message asks users to reconsider their decision after they deny the permission request.Permission requests give users control of their personal information. It is important to respect their decision about how their data is used.Next StepsTo resolve this issue, please revise the permission request process in the app to not ask the user to reconsider denying permission.

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?

As of @intercom/intercom-react-native v8.2.0 the back button after presenting content using Intercom.presentContent(IntercomContent.helpCenterCollectionsWithIds([id]))is broken on Android devices.Screenshot attached. Any help appreciated.
