I’m able to create news items via API and assign to the correct news feed, but is there a way to add them to the news center?When creating a news item through Intercom’s interface, there is an option to show a badge on the launcher, which corresponds to the “deliver_silently” property, and there is an option to add to the news center.  That news center option doesn’t have a property that I can find in the API documentation.Is it possible to add the created news item to the news center via API, or would I still be required to use the interface to do this?

Hello, is it possible today to target multiple Intercom instances under the same application? We currently are forced to have two different instances to handle different types of users, but they all use the same app. Is there any way to decide which Intercom app is targeted for each user?In a more technical note we use React and React Native apps.

Does anyone know what is needed on the Salesforce side of the house to ensure the fields are synced to Intercom? I have a new Case Field in Salesforce that I want to map a field in Intercom to, but when I go to the Salesforce integration Settings, the field is not available in the list of fields. Is there something I need to do on the Salesforce side of the operation to ensure it’s visible for Intercom to read?

permission: android.permission.RECORD_AUDIOI am wondering why the permission for audio recording is required in the new version. Also this new information is not stated in the documentation. I am planing to force the permission remove from the manifest file, but before that want to know if there is any consequence of doing that.Thanks!

In the "Developer Hub" section, we have set up the API version "1.4", this version is used in all our clients.In the old API versions (for example, in 1.4), there is a method "Create or Update User". In the new API versions (for example, 2.11), the endpoint "api.intercom.io/users" is not described, but there is a Contacts documentation section, which describes similar methods.Can we simultaneously use the old API version 1.4 for user management (through calls to "api.intercom.io/users") and the new API version 2.11 (through calls to "api.intercom.io/contacts"). For calls to the new Contacts API, we plan to use the HTTP header 'Intercom-Version': '2.11'.Will such use of two different API versions break the logic of Intercom, will user/contact data be lost?

Hi,I had opened a ticket which was flagged as solved, but it’s not solved.  I’m trying to use a snippet code i got from your developer website, to search conversations between two epochs. The codes runs without a problem on your platform, but when I use it in google scripts I get the response:{"code":"invalid_query","message":"Query body must contain a query hash"}I guess it is related to the JSON payload, though the string seems to be ok.I was able to work with the API without any problem, when I don’t send a body, but I always get the error whenever I include a body.I do have the ‘application/json’ in the code (the snipped below was copied directly) and I’ve tested removing the apostrophes from ‘content-type’ and I still get the same error.I’m adding a screenshot of the data structure in my memory. All looks as it should.Any clue?   const str = JSON.stringify({ query: { value: [ {field: 'created_at', operator: '>', value: '1690081199'}, {field: 'crea

Hi,In our product we want to start using the Android Mobile SDK, but for only a set of users. When the app opens we don’t know if the user needs Intercom, we only have that information later in the process.In the iOS Mobile SDK we used the SDK without any issue but in Android we found a warning: Intercom must be initialized inside the application onCreate() method. Initializing anywhere else will result in Intercom not behaving as expected and could even result in the host app crashing. Calling the initialize in the onCreate will add this user to the pricing plan? It’s safe to call this method and later when we are sure that this user has intercom enabled call loginIdentifiedUser?Intercom.initialize(this, "your api key", "your app id")Thanks

I currently use Intercom's Android SDK in my App for customer support. Previously I was using the 'io.intercom.android:intercom-sdk:15.1.4' then I updated the SDK version to 'io.intercom.android:intercom-sdk:15.8.3' (currently the latest) version. After this Android permission issues start to come i.e. Devices running Android Version 12 and below cannot grant permissions. This started happening only when I upgraded the intercom's SDK version, reverting the version to the previous one solves the issue. I am asking the user to permit access to READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE, which is getting denied.

Hi All, I am Emmanuel Katto. I am new to intercom. Can someone provide an example of how to use Intercom's Custom Attributes to track user behavior and preferences? Thanks!Emmanuel Katto
