We’re seeing a LOT of crashes with iOS SDK as of late and even after upgrading to the latest iOS SDK of 15.1.4Main three for sure are the following areas:IntercomColors.accessibleActionColor.getter IntercomSDK_IntercomNexusSocket resetConnectionTimeout outlined init with copy of (String, Any)Seeing about 100+ of these a week from our users.I can’t attach the logs as the question won’t post if I do. But I have a lot that I can supply.

Previously, User contacts were only created in Intercom when they first logged into our platform. Because of this, we could treat the First Seen field as a reliable indicator of the first time a user actually logged in. Knowing the time between “signed_up_at” (i.e. user provisioning) and “First Seen”(i.e. user login) is very useful. We are making some changes which means we will pre-create users in Intercom via API when their accounts are provisioned. Users created via API have First Seen automatically populated as the time they are created in Intercom. Is there a way to null this field, or otherwise reset/overwrite/etc? I guessed at “first_seen_at” as the field name since it’s not listed in the docs. Anyone else have this issue or solved it a different way?

Hi,We are upgraded to GA4 and the site already captures data in GA4, we would like to set up the tag manager to capture the INTERCOM event like someone “provided email address” on the chat will treat as one conversion and would track that in Google Analytic and also pass to Google Adwords as successful conversion.I go through the articles about setting up tag manager in GA4 and am still a bit confused, I only need to keep track of the event of “provided email address”Does anyone have better instructions on this matter?Thanks,  

I’ve followed the react native android push notification setup (https://developers.intercom.com/installing-intercom/docs/react-native-push-notifications) however I am receiving the following build error when building my app.  android:exported needs to be explicitly specified for element <service#<<my package name>>.MainNotificationService>. Apps targeting Android 12 and higher are required to specify an explicit value for `android:exported` when the corresponding component has an intent filter defined.Has anyone experienced this and what is the fix?

Hi i was just trying to connect a jira project to intercom as we have done with some other projects and i got this message :has anyone seen this before and managed to resolve it? i have jira cloud installed and like i mentioned we have done this with other projects in jira. Authentication is already verified.  

Hello,Has anyone else noticed that the support replies are taking longer than a business day, or is it just me?I've been trying to deactivate a trial, but I haven't received a response since last week. Additionally, there doesn't seem to be a way to cancel using the platform itself.Could someone provide assistance?Thank you very much,

Intercom is telling us that they dont support a sync using salesforce’s default record ID! How does everyone else work around this severe limitation? I cant imagine changing our business processes and adding a new unique field just to get data synced. Adding a new unique field is not a big thing but we would have to change our sales processes to now update a field upon account creation :( 

Could you provide me with a daily email summary of my support team tickets count and main topics? 

Hi,We are currently facing a significant issue related to time zone discrepancies that is affecting customer access to our contact center services.Our contact center is based in Melbourne, with operational hours set from 9:00 AM to 7:00 PM local Melbourne time. However, due to the diverse time zones across Australia, customers from different regions, such as Perth, are encountering difficulties reaching us at suitable times. The time difference between Melbourne and Perth is approximately 2 hours.To enhance customer experience, we urgently need a solution for dynamically routing customer interactions based on their local time and our operational hours. This issue significantly affects our ability to deliver efficient customer service to clients across Australia.Your assistance in addressing this matter promptly is greatly appreciated.

I need to setup the Intercom webhook to an external endpoint. But the external endpoint needs an authorization header. I could not find the HTTP header fields in Intercom's webhook configuration. ​https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc6750#section-5 "Don't pass bearer tokens in page URLs: Bearer tokens SHOULD NOT be passed in page URLs (for example, as query string parameters). Instead, bearer tokens SHOULD be passed in HTTP message headers or message bodies for which confidentiality measures are taken. Browsers, web servers, and other software may not adequately secure URLs in the browser history, web server logs, and other data structures. If bearer tokens are passed in page URLs, attackers might be able to steal them from the history data, logs, or other unsecured locations."

Hi all,What strategies are people using to remove internal users and test accounts from items like performance reports, success metrics etc?Thanks,Steve

I have custom action to open a case in salesforce. when I’m testing it in setup it works properly, when I’m sending the same values in postman it works properly. but in live chat I’m getting” Error occurred validating request values” Endpoint: https://mydomain.my.salesforce.com/services/data/v57.0/sobjects/Case/Any ideas? 

Hello!I hide my Intercom widget on some pages of the app using Intercom('update', {hide_default_launcher: true});.The problem is that the user still hears messages sound even when the chat is hidden.Is there any way to mute the chat?Or any other methods to hide chat completely, including the sound? 

Curious if anyone’s had good luck with a better SSO implementation & intercom? 

Hi, I’m trying to use a snippet code i got from your developer party, 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.Any clue?  const str = JSON.stringify({ query: { value: [ {field: 'created_at', operator: '>', value: '1690081199'}, {field: 'created_at', operator: '<', value: '1690167601'} ], operator: 'AND' } }); const options = { method: 'POST', headers: { accept: 'application/json', 'content-type': 'application/json', authorization: 'Bearer XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX' }, body: str }; const response = UrlFetchApp.fetch('ht

Hey, I'm getting the following build error trying to integrate the React Native SDK with iOS builds. Android build works fine. I have tried the both ways (Automatic & Manual) of installation the sdk.Intercom package version : 5.2.0X-Code - 14.2React-Native Version: 0.66.4Node : 14.17.0

After upgrading from an older Intercom React Native version to the latest version (see details below) we’re no longer able to use the Intercom.displayMessenger() API to open the message composer with the logic mentioned in the docs here, which says:Then we’ll ensure the Messenger opens in the best place for each user.For example:If a user has one unread conversation, we open that conversation. If a user has no conversations, we open the composer. If a user has more than one unread conversation, we open the conversations list. If a user has no unread conversations, we open the last screen they were on when they closed it.The docs still mention the Intercom.displayMessenger() API, but according to comments in the code it’s deprecated and will be removed in the future. Currently calling the function seems to simply do the same as the Intercom.present() API. Our customer support team really likes the old Intercom.displayMessenger() UX and messenger display logic and would prefer to keep it

We are looking at adding identity verification to stop user spoofing on our mobile app and private sites. However we also use intercom on our public pages that have no userid or email as there is no logins. How do we handle this to allow conversations to be opened once Identity Verification is on, but there is no user/email to create a hash for?
