Hello everyone,Our team, operating within the travel industry, heavily rely on API calls to extract valuable insights from our database (e.g. departure dates, company codes, destinations etc.) wihin Intercom workflows. We then save this information as custom object attributes.This setup was designed to facilitate detailed data analysis of our workload while saving our team time by automating the input process for each request.However, to our surprise, custom object attributes are not accessible through search, reporting, or exporting functions within Intercom. As a result, despite the data residing in Intercom, our team still needs to manually input it into conversation and people data to make it available for reporting and exports.Recognizing the significance of this time-consuming process, we're actively seeking a solution to automate it.Is it feasible to complete conversation and people attributes via an API call (bypassing reference option), or are there alternative workarounds to

Hello our monitoring is reporting some crash errors on lastest RN package version 6.0.1:NSInternalInconsistencyException: Attempted to reload item identifier that does not exist in the snapshot: IntercomSDKPrivate.ConversationCollectionViewCellType.message(<ICMConversationPart: 0x10a8747b0>)iOS 16.6.1Will this be fixed in upcoming versions?

I can’t find this in Intercom’s help center so figured I’d post here before reaching out to support. Does anyone know what the difference between “Team replied to” and “team currently assigned” is in the Conversation report? Screenshot below. 

How do you define "Last Seen"?

Help please. I tried all the troubleshooting steps to make the messenger appear on our website’s contact page. But I always get the error: “The App ID in your code snippet has not been set. Launcher is disabled in settings or current page does not match display conditions.”It’s weird because the App ID is already in the script. Any way how to solve this?This is for website visitors without logins. I copied the code snippet for “website visitors without logins” from this page: https://app.intercom.com/a/apps/pkf1yel7/settings/installation-new over to the Webflow page before the </body> tag. Now I don’t know what else to do.

Hello,we are trying to implement a custom launcher that uses intercom’s launcher inside of it as one of our options. Everything went smoothly until we saw that our proactive support messages were showing without our launcher noticing. We couldn’t find any event to get triggered in our code when the user receives a proactive support message. Is there any way of achieving this? we tried with the “onShow” event but that one only triggers when the intercom launcher is opened manually and not through a proactive support message.Thanks in advance!

Hi All, I’ve a contact form on the web, and in Intercom we created a Email workflow, if some email is send to a email address we trigger the email workflow. So, I need to trigger that workflow when I POST  a Conversation o Message, with message_type = email. I’ve tried POST conversations, POST message, also set the from and to with valid contacts/users, the message/conversation is created but the workflow is not triggered. Any ideas?

 We've got penetration test results from a security team. Any solution to this security leak?

I am trying to integrate with an external API (ExtAPI) so that an agent can use an Inbox app to create data in it when in a conversation.The agent has a login (username/password) in the ExtAPI. There is a login endpoint in the ExtAPI that returns a token and id for them. The agent may occasionally need to re-login.I can’t work out how to allow the agent to be able to login into the ExtAPI and store the token and id in their session so that it will be passed in conversation details to the Inbox App. I presume I’ll need to create a login form but don’t know where to set/call this in Intercom.Any advice would be appreciated. 

Hello,In Intercom's metrics, the Average Handling Time is measured when a conversation is assigned to a teammate and the status is open.However, this metric indicates the total time until the customer receives a reply.In our case, we're aiming to collect data on the actual time a teammate spends actively engaged with a case, such as having the conversation/ticket open in a tab, writing a reply, or leaving notes.Is there a way to access this information through Intercom reporting, or alternatively are there any timer apps that we could install to calculate this?Thank you.

Hello, I vaguely remember an Intercom connector being available for Microsoft Teams, but this no longer seems to be case. Has this been removed?The connector allowed us to receive Teams notifications whenever a new conversation was started on Intercom.The alternative approach would be to use a Webhook, but Intercom’s webhook payload seemingly does not conform to Microsoft’s expectations: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoftteams/platform/task-modules-and-cards/cards/cards-reference#connector-card-for-microsoft-365-groupsIs my view of this correct? Thanks,Dimeji

Hi, I'm a little new to intercom but would like to work wtih it in a very technical automated way. We would like to be able to insert events that happen on the company level, and then trigger some emails / notifications to specific types of users (eg has ADMIN label) based on that event happening.  So for example:  Company onboards in our own system with a number of usersWe create the company entity in intercomWe create the user entities in intercom and associate them with the companyWe throw an event to intercom that the company "has_been_onboarded"Intercom rules pick up the event and send emails only to ADMIN users that welcomes them to our service So here the event is on the company level, but it should trigger an email to specific types of users within the company. Is this possible? A few quick tips & pointers would be really appreciated! /Johan

Hi,  Using the “/companies” with scroll parameters works without problems. Somehow though I need a way to read companies starting with the most recently added, and it seems “companies/list” is the only way to do that.  No matter how I query “companies/list”, no matter what parameters I set for page, per_page and  order I always get this same error:{"type"=>"error.list", "request_id"=>"003kmpu8u10s0f0dgeb0", "errors"=>[{"code"=>"company_not_found", "message"=>"Company Not Found"}]} Can you advise?

Hello,I’m trying to set up an SMS alert system in Intercom for when a VIP customer calls in. The plan is to use the phone workflow to trigger an API call, which then triggers an event. This event should prompt an SMS to be sent to a specific segment of our team.I've been attempting to use "Last contacted" for the created_at field and "Contact ID" for user_id in my API setup, but I keep encountering JSON format errors. If anyone has experience with setting up similar workflows or can offer insights into what might be going wrong, I'd greatly appreciate your help. Also, if there's a different approach that could achieve the same outcome, I’m open to suggestions!Thanks in advance for your assistance!

We have created an intercom Oauth app (Statuspal.io) and is working well so far, but we have now introduced a new region of servers (EU) which have a different domain statuspal.eu instead of statuspal.io, however in the Intercom app settings (Canvas Kit > Messenger) it only allows for one flow of URLs, where we already have statuspal.io. Is there a way to add a new flow of URLs (statuspal.eu)? or perhaps make the domain dynamic so to write the URLs like "{host}/api/v1/intercom/initialize"? Or should we just create a new Intercom app altogether, this one seems weird to me, as we'd have multiple apps listed in the store differing only on which region they are for.

Hello, My company is using Intercom in several teams (Support, Sales and Success). We’ve created three separate teams inside Intercom. Is there a possibility to limit the view of each of the teammembers to only see their dedicated team’s inbox? I.e. Support should only see messages asssigned to Support, and not to Sales and Success. I’d be more than happy to provide more details - please note I am quite new to Intercom, so apologies if this question shows my lack of basic knowledge. Thanks in advance!

I’m currently trying to POST a Contact with just an email, and am currently being met with a 400 error:Request body:{"name": "Kim Chuc", "email": "email@gmail.com"}Response body:{ "type": "error.list", "request_id": "0004n8c4t4e6a3olv82g", "errors": [ { "code": "invalid_document", "message": "either_email_or_user_id_present validation failed" } ]} Based on the docs, email is the only required field to POST a Contact and I’ve double checked to make sure the email doesn’t already exist: Has anyone ever come across this issue before? 

Hello,I started getting memory leaks printed from Instruments after installing Intercom(17.0.2). Double checked by uninstalling(got 0 after uninstalling).The package was installed using SPM.

I previously used the Calendly integration in my website’s automation but it has not been working for several weeks now, when someone visits the site and tries to book a meeting with a member of our team it just displays a block with an error message. Is the integration broken and does Intercom plan on fixing it?

The REST API has a method for merging contacts from lead to user. It works pretty simple:```curl -i -X POST https://api.intercom.io/contacts/merge \  -H 'Authorization: Bearer <YOUR_TOKEN_HERE>' \  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \  -H 'Intercom-Version: 2.10' \  -d '{ "from": "LEAD_ID", "into": "USED_ID" }'```Also, lead can be merged to user in the Intercom app. When lead is merged, our integration listen for webhook with topic `contact.merged`. This webhook has an information to what contact the lead was merged, but has a missing part from what lead: ```{ "type": "notification_event", "app_id": "abcdee", "data": { "type": "notification_event_data", "item": { "type": "contact", "id": "USER_ID", "workspace_id": "abcdee", "...": "..." } }, "links": {}, "topic": "contact.merged", "delivery_status": "pending", "delivery_attempts": 1, "delivered_at": 0, "first_sent_at": 1713533523, "created_at": 1713533523, "self": null}``` May you add lea

We tried updating io.intercom.android:intercom-sdk from 15.6.3 to 15.8.2 and noticed that attaching photos from camera directly is broken (permission was given). On version 15.6.3 it works as expected. 

When admin replies with an article, webhook does not contain details about it. May we have a link to article in webhooks?
