Inquiry about Disabling Replies in Intercom Platform

Hi there,I hope this message finds you well. I've been using the Intercom platform for managing my conversations, and I'm wondering if there's a way to disable replies in the chat if the conversation didn't originate within the Intercom platform.I have a specific endpoint configured for receiving replies, and I'd like to ensure that replies are only sent to this endpoint.E.g. This chat didn't start in the intercom platform, but once I replied, it sends in a new chat.  If anyone has experience with this or knows of a solution, I would greatly appreciate your insights and guidance. Please share any tips, best practices, or relevant documentation that might help me achieve this.Thank you in advance for your assistance!Best regards,

How to set and retrieve company linked to a ticket ?

Hello there !We're in the process of implementing tickets and ticket portal system, and to achieve this, we need to import customer tickets from another provider into Intercom.While we've successfully created tickets using the API, we've encountered a challenge in linking a company to the ticket. Currently, an admin can manually link a company in the inbox, but I haven't discovered a way to make it a mandatory step.It's crucial to note that if a customer ticket lacks a linked company, the customer won't be able to access it through the ticket portal. Although the customer can still access their ticket via the messenger, we want to avoid any potential confusion.Additionally, we've faced difficulties in retrieving the company linked to a specific ticket using the GET /tickets/{id} endpoint.These challenges prompt a few important questions:Is there a way to link a company to a ticket through the API? Can we retrieve information about a company linked to a ticket via the API? Is there a wa

Can I create alerts for poor CSAT scores?

Hey Team, Quick question: “Is it possible to create an alert via Workflows or some other means to alert via Slack when a customer rates a conversation with a teammate as poor?” e.g. CSAT Score is 3 or less.Intercom has the ability to alert Slack Channels based on other workflow triggers like no response within X minutes or an unresponsive conversation, but for us to be able to manage DSATs as they happen with a live alert via Slack or some other modality would be super beneficial to our Support Managers and leaders to help coach and improve our teams. Please let me know if any of you have any ideas on how we can institute something like this or build something like this using Intercom and Slack. Thanks again!

Is the updated_at field equal to the created_at field at the conversation/contact creation?

I want to search and load only new conversations/contacts.By “new” I mean newly created and updated ones.Can I do it only by updated_at field? For example, if the contact is created on 15.11.2023 18:00:00, will the updated_at field be the same? So I do not need to add the created_at field alsoSo if we assume the time boundaries are 06.11.2023 00:00:00 and 12.11.2023 00:00:00, then what I expect to see is:contacts that are created in this period AND contacts that are updated in this period (irrelevant of the fact when they were created)

Open the messenger from an event triggered workflow

I was able to trigger a workflow from my mobile application based on a logEvent that shows in the form of a popup notification to the user. This requires the user to click on that popup, which opens the messenger, then the user can interact with the rest of the workflow. Is it possible to trigger a workflow which shows the message within the Intercom messenger, not within a popup?For example: I have a button in my mobile app. When the user taps that button, I would like to show the messenger with a workflow. Is that possible? If so, can you point me in the right direction? Thanks!

Jira for Tickets - Issues created from Workflows Not being Synced

Hello all, Recently I Integrated Jira for Tickets on my Intercom workspace, I had no issues setting up the basics, and toggling on auto-create Jira issues upon Intercom ticket creation. However, the data being sent to the Jira Issue when dealing with tickets that carry additional custom attributes in them is limited. I was planning on creating workarounds, such as noting down the ticket details in the conversation upon ticket creation, so that the details could reflect in the Jira Issue comments, however upon building that workflow I found the workflow templates, which indicate that I could in fact include all the extra details in my Jira Issues.After a dozen or so attempts, I found that the workflow method would create the Jira Issues successfully ( including all the data I wanted transferred ), however I was never able to get those tickets / issues created with this method to link automatically. As the ticket and issue would both be created, but there was no automatic sync between th

Getting "User Not Found" error when creating a contact

Hi,Recently I have been noticing that we have been receiving an error_code of “not_found” when making a POST request to the /contacts endpoint (creating a contact).This is surprising as I am not sure how this is possible when creating a contact (as opposed to updating one).If it helps, an example request id for this 000bkte0pcsrns5hpus0, hopefully I am not just off-base but I was looking to understand how this might happen? I am not sure what this error code could mean when trying to create a contact.

Why don't Facebook conversations appear in Inbox searches?

We have our Facebook messages linked to our Intercom inbox so the team can answer customer queries from Intercom. Sometimes I need to check between a Facebook conversation on Meta Business Suite and on Intercom, to see who answered the query. But if I search the customer’s name in Inbox Search, they never show. You can search for the customer in Contacts and get to the conversation that way, but it seems odd for the conversation not to appear when searching the Inbox. Why is this the case?

Please provide an API to check logged in user

This was requested multiple times here , but the topic was closed without a useful response.In previous versions of the Intercom SDKs, logging in and out was idempotent: if we called login more than once with the same user ID (or log out more than once), it wouldn’t give any error. That’s no longer the case on the latest versions, and this presents a problem. The SDK persists the user’s login state between launches but doesn’t expose its user state, so the only way an app can avoid calling login with the same user details the next time the app runs (which would cause the SDK to throw an error), is by also persisting the user log in state via its own method, in hope of remaining in sync with the SDK’s login state. However, this is problematic: state persistence is error-prone, and if an error occurs with either the app’s or the SDK’s persistence, the two can get out of sync, and the SDK will throw an error and leave the app in an inconsistent state.There are two options for the SDK to e

How to initialize Intercom thru code in React Native?

Hey there, first I'd like to give a s/o to the creator of the Expo config plugin for Intercom here, and say that this is something the Intercom could pickup as well ;) That said, the way the RN SDK is initialized is thru the native code in both Android and iOS, and unless I am mistaken, there is no way to initialize it from the SDK itself. Would be good to have a way to start it programmatically from the code as right now it is required for us to provide the API keys at build time and this makes it much harder to load those keys dynamically for example at our CI workflows. Since the RN SDK is a wrapper of the native libraries, I could recommend to follow the approach that Segment and Sentry used on their SDKs as those also are wrappers and allow the initialization to be done at run time. Thank you!

How to make input required before action component in canvas-kit

I am building a custom app in messenger home. It will open a form asking user input and submit. I wonder if there is any built-in method to make interaction component required (input, text area, select etc) before the user hit action component (button).Also, my app will stay at the submit flow after the user interaction. Is anyway I can reset the UI back to initialize flow?

Bugs with Jira for Tickets using Workflows

I am trying to add some additional fields to the Jira tickets when they are created. Bug #1:The additional fields do not show up on the Jira side unless I specify “Bug” as the “Issue Type” field of the workflow. However when I do specify the “Bug” type I get 2 different Jira issues created. One Jira issue contains the additional fields and one does not.     Bug #2:Also, as a side note I’ve re-installed the “Jira for Tickets” app a few times trying to get the above to work correctly and now I see multiple copies of the Jira actions in the workflow template.
