Hi there,The latest version of React Native, 0.77.0, migrates the iOS AppDelegate to Swift. Currently the intercom-react-native module only seems to support set up in Objective C, will this be changing soon?Many thanks, Lydia

As a financial advisor and consultant, I am Prakash Hinduja, a proud resident of Geneva, Switzerland (Swiss). Having grown up in India, I developed a strong foundation in international finance that I now use to help clients with their wealth management and global investment strategies. My specialty is helping high-net-worth individuals significantly grow their financial holdings, which is why some have taken to calling me the "Prakash Hinduja net worth booster. I’m using the Stripe integration with Intercom, and I’ve noticed that it sometimes creates duplicate users when customer data is sent over. Has anyone figured out a reliable way to prevent this—or merge duplicates automatically? Would really appreciate any suggestions, best practices, or tools you’ve found helpful. Thanks in advance!RegardsPrakash Hinduja Geneva, Switzerland (Swiss) 

Here are the HTML tags and CSS that intercom’s API supports for Articles - https://developers.intercom.com/docs/guides/help-center/supported-htmlI don’t see callout blocks and collapsible sections which are supported in Intercom’s editor. When I use the API to update my articles (update article endpoint), even if I send the exact CSS that intercom uses for the callout blocks and collapsible sections, it strips them out as those are not on the allowed list. These articles then get published without the callout blocks that were present earlier. How can I preserve callout blocks and collapsible sections? It is a major limitation towards using the API. 

Hello,I work on a platform and they are using intercom for their live support chat. I am using for several months and it worked perfectly. But now for over a week, it keeps loading here:  I’ve talked with them via email and even they’re shocked. They don’t know what’s wrong, neither do I. I’ve cleared cache, relogged in, and changed browser, nothing worked. Can anybody please help me out in this regard? Thanks in advance!

Hi everyone,I'm exploring ways to enhance customer support at our shooting range facility. Specifically, I'm interested in integrating shooting range software with Intercom to streamline operations and improve client interactions.Has anyone here implemented such integrations? I'm particularly keen on automating booking confirmations, handling membership inquiries, and providing real-time assistance during range sessions.Any insights or experiences with connecting range management systems to Intercom's suite would be invaluable.Looking forward to your recommendations!

Hey everyone,I’ve been looking into ways to improve user onboarding and updates for a little side project of mine. It’s a desktop launcher bloxstrap and I’m curious if Intercom could be useful in this setup.Couple things I’m wondering:Is it possible to trigger onboarding/help messages inside a desktop app, or is Intercom mainly limited to web and mobile?Would using Intercom’s email campaigns be the better route for sharing updates / new release notes with users?Has anyone here tried hooking Intercom into a custom software download flow?I’m not sure if Intercom is flexible enough for this kind of product, but it seems like it could be a nice way to keep people engaged without building everything from scratch.Appreciate any tips or experiences!

I'm setting a report filter by company tag. I've noticed when a conversation's primary contact (source.author) isn't connected to a company with that tag but another participant is, the conversation isn't populating on the report. How do I ensure this conversation or ticket will populate on the report for participating contacts with that company tag?

I found the Webhook Topics article (https://developers.intercom.com/docs/references/webhooks/webhook-models) but cannot find the schema of specific notification item types. I’m specifically looking for conversation.user.replied.

Hey everyone,I’ve been reading a bit about how search engines are evolving, and I’m curious — how much does actual user engagement (like time on page, clicks, bounce rate) affect rankings these days?I’m not asking about tools or backlinks, just wondering if engagement metrics are becoming more of a signal for SEO than traditional methods. Would love to hear what others think or if anyone’s seen changes from this.Thanks!

Hi everyone! Is there anyone here using the Linear integration? We just added it and the search option to find and link a conversation to an existing issue or project is not working. It’s not showing relevant results.

Device: Nexus 5XOS Version: Android 13App Version: 2.0.19 (82)Date: August 22, 2025, 15:22:48 GMT+03:00Issue Description:Our Flutter application is experiencing a ForegroundServiceDidNotStartInTimeException on Android 13 devices when using both Firebase Messaging and Intercom. This error specifically occurs when the Firebase Messaging background service (FlutterFirebaseMessagingBackgroundService) is initiated.Android expects a foreground service to call Service.startForeground() within 5 seconds after Context.startForegroundService() is invoked. In our case, this timeout is occurring, leading to an application crash.Key Detail from Logs:Upon reviewing the crash logs, a significant detail observed is the activity on a thread named DefaultDispatcher-worker-3, which is related to the Intercom SDK. This thread shows operations involving okhttp3.Cache and io.intercom.android.sdk.AppIdentityInjector.initializeEvents. DefaultDispatcher-worker-3:       at okhttp3.internal.io.FileSystem.<cli

We’re using Intercom Android SDK 15.1.3. We use the Intercom.client().present() API to show the help center in our app.Our app currently requires READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permission and the only reason for this permission is for Intercom’s image attachments feature.From Android documentation, on API 33, READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE is replaced with more granular permissions like READ_MEDIA_IMAGES etc. However, it also states that you can use the PhotoPicker to get the same behaviour without any permissions; and with the jetpack library PhotoPicker is available all the way back to API 19.My question is: Does Intercom Android SDK use PhotoPicker? What about on pre-API 33?The only reference to this I see is in the changlog for Intercom Android SDK v12.5.3 but it is not clear what that means for an app that integrates this SDK.

Hello, It seems we cannot reliably use Intercom on iOS due to an API error. We are trying to identify a customer with a uuid, email, and identity hash (derived from the uuid). Our integration was working until we upgraded to the 14 SDK. Now everytime we call either loginUser or updateUser we receive a “400 user already exists” error message. This happens for some users and not others, but is resulting in production customers not being identified.

Android API 36 is ignoring the orientation configuration. The Android SDK is fixing the orientation as portrait. We have got the following warning on Google Play: From Android 16, Android will ignore resizability and orientation restrictions for large screen devices, such as foldables and tablets. This may lead to layout and usability issues for your users.We detected the following resizability and orientation restrictions in your app:<activity android:name="io.intercom.android.sdk.activities.IntercomCarouselActivity" android:screenOrientation="PORTRAIT" />To improve the user experience for your app, remove these restrictions and check that your app layouts work on various screen sizes and orientations by testing on Android 16 and below.Would it be possible to avoid orientation restrictions in the SDK?

Hey community,I’m exploring ways to improve SEO performance by analyzing how customers engage with content and interact across different channels. Understanding their questions, search patterns, and preferences can really help refine keyword targeting and content structure.For anyone working in digital marketing services, these insights often become a game-changer — they make it easier to design content that matches user intent, optimize landing pages, and improve organic visibility.I’d love to hear how others integrate customer analytics or feedback into their SEO planning. What strategies have you found effective for aligning content with real user needs while boosting rankings?

Our advisors are using Microsoft machines and the Phone feature in Intercom within the contact centre. A few of them are experiencing issues where their microphones are picking up ambient background noise, which customers can hear.Has anyone else encountered this issue, and does anyone know how to resolve it? All the devices appear to be set up the same way, and nothing obvious is standing out as the cause.

Hi,We’re currently reviewing our platforms to ensure they meet the requirements of the European Accessibility Act (Directive (EU) 2019/882).For support services such as Intercom, the EAA requires that: Help desks, call centres, technical support, relay services, and training services provide information on the accessibility of the service. Services must be compatible with assistive technologies (e.g., screen readers, braille displays, voice input). Support and communication must be offered in accessible modes (not only voice but also text, relay, or other inclusive formats). Documentation and guidance should be provided in a clear, understandable, and perceivable format. This is meant to ensure that customers with disabilities can get support in a way they can actually use. For example: A deaf customer might need a text-based chat or relay service. A blind customer might need documentation in a format that works with screen readers. Training on how to use the service with ass

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.

Hello, I’m experiencing a problem where the Intercom chat does not open when a user taps on a push notification on iOS. I have implemented the Intercom React Native plugin as per the documentation, and the messaging functionality works perfectly. Notifications are received correctly, but tapping on them does not open the chat as expected. Environment Details: • Platform: iOS• React Native Version: 0.74• Intercom React Native Plugin Version: 8.1.0 Problem Description: • The Intercom messenger is fully integrated into my app, and users can send and receive messages without any issues.• Push notifications from Intercom are successfully delivered to the device.• According to the documentation, tapping on a push notification should automatically open the relevant chat within the app. However, this is not happening on iOS.• When I tap on a push notification while the app is closed, the app opens but does not display the chat. Instead, it remains on the previous screen or the home screen.• I

Hi, We’re currently modelling our Intercom data. In the modelling process, I can’t find the answer to the following:How do we determine whether a conversation was started through the Intercom Chat on our web application or our mobile application? How do we determine whether a conversation was started and/or resolved by the automation workflow (self-service)?The source_type and first_contact_reply_type only indicate whether the conversation was started through 1) email, 2) conversation, 3) instagram. Hoping you help guide us to finding the necessary data.

We would like to request a new data point in the reports section for tickets: "Last Comment”. 

Hello, I need to integrate Intercom into react-native app. I’m using official wrapper intercom/intercom-react-native. Android works as expected. On iOS I’m always getting `BadDeviceToken` listed as an issue in Intercom panel (website). I tried both ways to send the token to the intercom, first is native code (option 2 from here) and later tried JS option with token coming from @react-native-firebase/messaging `getToken` method.APN configuration is uploaded to Intercom and same values works properly when sending push messages from Firebase (both their website and java/nodejs SDK).I’m testing on the simulator (again messages from Firebase and our backend works fine).
