Hello!!We have been trying to create Intercom GTM tags for logged out and logged in users.For logged out users it was easy enough as we’ve followed the Intercom documentation and all good. However, when it comes to Intercom Logged In users tag, we’ve followed this documentation but are not too sure of that we should add in the variables (please see picture below) for it to track the correct values for each user. Is there some additional stept that’s not in the documentation that we should follow? Any data layer we should implement? Just to be sure we’re not missing anything.We’d be super gratful for any insight on how exactly this tag implementation should be done.Thanks a million!

I’m looking for a way to make sure the data in Intercom and Pipedrive stays up to date automatically. Right now, our sales team uses Pipedrive, while customer support handles conversations in Intercom. The problem is that lead details don’t always get updated, and sales reps miss important context from past conversations.I’d love to hear how others are handling this. Do you rely on manual updates, or have you found a way to sync data between the two without extra effort?

Hey all, I operate a service-based firm looking to build out more of a saas-like platform to provide services to small businesses and individuals. Usually, we utilize client portals that have no form of client communication capabilities or have their own internal client chat method. However, email tends to be impossible to utilize as a whole, and portal chats tend to have their own limitations and lack of access and automation. Having the clean and on-site messenger for desktop and mobile seems to be a much better experience. But I have questions for those who are more seasoned using Intercom to see if my thinking on how to use it makes sense in the long-term.So going to spit ball some questions I’m hoping others can provide feedback or insight on!Has any other service based companies moved to using Intercom as a direct to client communication tool? For example, instead of shooting an email, have it shoot a direct notification to the user thru Intercom. Has that been more preferred by 

Hello, I have a custom action that is supposed to send a request to my server along with multiple url params attached.The problem is however, not ALL of the params are sent for every request. Yet, since they are declared in the Request section of Custom Actions the call fails presumably because not every param has a value. The questions are, 1.) are we able to set these params to be “optional” and I’m just missing the option? 2.) Why can’t Intercom just recognize that this param is empty, and input a null, or avoid the param all together and leave validation up to the server receiving side? AKA, my server.I just feel like this product is feature limited to the point its useless, at least for my use case. And yes, I have tried for hours to Google, watch Youtube videos, browse articles (even found this one), reach out to support (no response), and just plain ol’ trying things on my own before coming here. So don’t give me the ol’ “Search Google” non-sense. PRODUCTIVE AND SUPPORTIVE ANSWE

Hello Intercom team,I’m reaching out regarding an issue where videos uploaded to chat lose their audio during processing. The preview of the video shows sound, but once uploaded, the audio is missing. The issue occurs consistently, regardless of the video source (recorded directly or uploaded from the gallery).Could you please help us investigate if this is a known issue or if there’s something we’re missing? Any guidance or steps to resolve this would be greatly appreciated.Thank you in advance for your support!

Hi team,We're implementing the require-trusted-types-for 'script'; header in our app and have set up a default Trusted Types policy. However, the Intercom widget script fails on the following line:e.documentElement.innerHTML = t,withUncaught TypeError: Failed to set the 'innerHTML' property on 'Element': This document requires 'TrustedHTML' assignment. Has anyone encountered this issue before? Any suggestions on how to work around it while keeping Trusted Types enforcement?Thanks! 

We’re looking forward to implementing WhatsApp for Intercom, considering the documentation on integrating the WhatsApp App with Intercom we have some concerns, we hope people who have already done this integration may be able to answer.We’re currently using the WhatsApp API for custom marketing messaging and authentication, it simple, it only redirect the user to our App, however we would like a way to see if the user reply, and if so, for our customer service team to continue the conversation, note that there’s no third party manager of the account, we call the API ourselves, the WABA is hosted on Meta directly, we hope that can be achieved through this integration, so in concrete these are our concerns:If we integrate WhatsApp, we’ll lose access to manually call the WhatsApp API for authentication OTP and marketing messages? Can the API still create new conversations with new users? Can the integration at Intercom see those message, so the Customer Support team see the entire convers

Hi,We are developing a React Native app with Intercom integration using the https://www.npmjs.com/package/@intercom/intercom-react-native package. We want to get the unread message count for a user to show a notification when the app is open and the user receives a new Intercom message.We have tried using the addEventListener with IntercomEvents.IntercomUnreadCountDidChange but the passed in callback does not get invoked when new messages are received. We also tried calling the getUnreadConversationCount method and that returns the initial count of messages when our app starts and the user is logged in into Intercom, but subsequent calls always returns the initial value event when new messages are received in Intercom. Calling logout and login again in Intercom and then calling getUnreadConversationCount returns an updated count, so it looks like a bug in your code, or are we doing something wrong on our end?Thank you,Mikael Amborn

Package: @intercom/intercom-react-native: ^3.0.3 When a push notification is sent via Intercom, with a deep link, the deep link opens correct on android (it opens to the correct in-app page when the app is in the background and the notification is clicked, as well as when the app is closed and the notification is clicked). However, on iOS, if the notification is clicked while the app is closed, the notification does not send the user to the correct page, it simply sends them to the home page (the page they would have landed on if they had simply opened the app by itself). If the notification is clicked while the app is backgrounded however, it does send them to the correct page. Anyone have any idea why this behaviour might be happening? 

Hello,I am experiencing an issue with the Intercom SDK on Android. When I initialize Intercom at app startup, I set the current language using:UserAttributes.Builder().withLanguageOverride(currentLanguage) After changing the system language and reinitializing Intercom with the updated language, most of the content updates correctly. However, the "Send us a message" text remains in the original language.It seems that this specific text does not update after reinitialization. Is there a way to ensure that all content, including this text, is fully updated after a language change?Thank you for your help. 

Hi guys,As far as I know, currently there is no option for sending Whatsapp templates via REST API (correct me if I’m wrong). Whatsapp don’t allow sending messages via their API directly if the number is already connected to your system. That leave us without options in order to have only 1 single point of contact number for receiving user’s questions and being able to automate templates for our users. Other competitors (like Messagebird) already allow to send whatsapp templates via their API.So the question is, is there any plan to allow this in your API? Is there any ETA? This feature is quite important and if there is no plan to implement it would make customers contemplate switching providers. Thanks in advance.

We upgraded the Android Intercom SDK from version 15.7.1 to 15.9.1. After pushing out a new release of our app, we noticed that we were not getting crash reports from Sentry. We use Sentry as well as Firebase Crashlytics to analyze crash reports.After investigation, we determined that the Intercom Android SDK also uses Sentry. Updating the Intercom SDK had overwritten our configuration. This resulted in Sentry being turned off for our app.Manifest merger failed : Attribute meta-data#io.sentry.auto-init@value value=(true) from AndroidManifest.xml:45:55-75 is also present at [io.intercom.android:intercom-sdk-base:15.10.3] AndroidManifest.xml:25:13-34 value=(false). Suggestion: add 'tools:replace="android:value"' to <meta-data> element at AndroidManifest.xml to override.Sentry discourages usage in third-party SDKs (e.g. the Intercom Android SDK).“It's considered bad practice to use Sentry SDKs in third-party plugins, packages, and libraries (such as payment SDKs or embeddable widget

I am using the @intercom/messenger-js-sdk SDK.It successfully records new users.The problem is that I cannot find how to set custom attributes for that user. I have the custom attribute `is_admin`. Here are the approaches I’ve tried:Basic objectIntercom({ app_id: APP_ID, api_base: process.env.NEXT_PUBLIC_INTERCOM_API_BASE_URL, user_id: user.id, email: user.email, user_hash: hash, is_admin: user.role.includes('admin'),});Object with custom_attributesIntercom({ app_id: APP_ID, api_base: process.env.NEXT_PUBLIC_INTERCOM_API_BASE_URL, user_id: user.id, email: user.email, user_hash: hash, custom_attributes: { is_admin: user.role.includes('admin'), }});Post instance update methodIntercom({ app_id: APP_ID, api_base: process.env.NEXT_PUBLIC_INTERCOM_API_BASE_URL, user_id: user.id, email: user.email, user_hash: hash,}

I’m experiencing internal Intercom error that is displayed in app’s UI (NextJS app router, @intercom/messenger-js-sdk package). This is a very unpleasant UX and I’d like to know how to prevent such behaviour. 

Hi Intercom Support Team,We're currently experiencing an issue with the Intercom chat widget in our React Native application built with Expo. While most functionalities are working seamlessly, our iOS users are unable to upload photos taken directly with the camera through the chat interface (specifically the camera option within the chat buttons).Here are the details of our setup:Platform: iOSExpo Version: 52.0.29React Native Version: 0.76.6Intercom React Native SDK Version: @intercom/intercom-react-native 8.1.0 and tested with 8.2.0New Architecture: DisabledWe've ensured that the necessary permissions are set as per your documentation:"NSCameraUsageDescription": "This app uses the camera to scan payment cards and take photos for support messaging." Despite upgrading to @intercom/intercom-react-native version 8.2.0, the issue persists. Our customers can access other features without any problems, but the inability to use the camera for uploading photos is causing some confusion.Our qu

We’re experiencing a slow launch time in our SwiftUI app, about 35% of the slow launch time is caused by Intercom initialization.  The stack trace indicates that multiple functions within the Intercom SDK, especially the initialization processes involving IMCCrashHandler, IMCConfig, HomeConfig, and HomeHeader, are contributing significantly to app launch latency. The UIKitCore and CoreImage components (like UIGraphicsImageRenderer and CIImage) invoked through ICAssets.backgroundImageViewWith also add processing overhead, which may impact the performance during launch.Here is the full stack trace given by XCodes tools:dyld start1. App.main() - SwiftUI2. AppDelegate.application(_:didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:) - SwiftUI3.
