Hi Intercom Team, our customers can operate with a chat bot before they ask us their first question. For the first response time however intercom is counting the time from the point in time the user first opens the chat. We would like to adjust it to the time the user asks the first question - so the first time the user is not interacting with the bot anymore. is that possible? 😊 And if yes how can we adjuts this in our steering board. Thank you for your help in advance! Kind regards

Can you trigger a custom bot via URL rather than by clicking an element? We want to link to it directly from the product to trigger the custom bot.

Is there anyway to connect intercom to twilio? I would like to connect the two so that support center operators can send SMS from inside intercom

Our app uses a webview on iOS.We enabled app-bound domains (https://webkit.org/blog/10882/app-bound-domains/). Since then, we can no longer open any article on Intercom, as it uses WKWebView. Even when we include the domain intercom.help in our allow-list, it still does not work. Our belief is that you do not correctly set "limitsNavigationsToAppBoundDomains" on your WKWebviewConfiguration. We tried to investigate your source code, but we noticed you only provide a binary (not the actual source code).  This is how it looks like. Upon inspection with Safari DevTools, you can verify that intercom.help has loaded (you can read the HTML), but it is not presented. We suppose there is a communication between the native code and the webview that got broken. This is critical for our application. When should I be expecting a reply from your technical team?

Is there a way to revoke an invite to intercom without having to scroll down the list of invited users?

Is it possible to append user information to the Slack message when a new user is created ? We currently send a notification when a new user signs up. The info that is currently being sent is the user's Name e.g. "John Daniels". While this is great, it's not super informative. It would be great to be able to append info or even change the info (to an email address for example) so we can quickly see who they are linked to etc. Anyone do this already ? Thanks!

I've submitted a chat request but it's been over 36 hours with no response on this, so posting it here. We have tried various ways to pass our data into Intercom, firstly via the API (that we found in small print custom objects aren't supported via the public API). Our second attempt was creating a new GET endpoint on our end, use the custom actions, map the intercom data and our data successfully, then set it to live. This doesn't seem to do anything. Everything I've read seems to suggest use of custom actions in bots - but I would have expected to be able to see this data we're passing in somewhere in Intercom - via filters, reports etc. We wanted to use it to provide our CX team with better data to contact our customers (e.g. contact all users that had [custom object] start dates in the next month, who spent at least £***).  We're making a third attempt by using our endpoint, to populate the JavaScript API with this custom object data. Are we barking

Is it possible to create a custom action where I make a Post request (Multipart request) and want to attach the image that the user shared in chat? If yes then please guide me on how can I achieve that action.

On intercom there is a category of users called "slipping away" which includes users that haven't been online for 1-2 months. We noticed that some of the users in there definitely have been online during the past month & verified that this is indeed the case by asking them.Then, after further testing, we noticed that for some of our staff (myself included) our own page views were not being registered properly. Some of the page views were being registered here and there but most weren't. In the following I'll add the code for the integration of intercom with our react app & we would appreciate it if you had a look at it. If this is not the correct place to ask for tech support, please let me know. This is the code for the integration itself: import Analytics from "analytics"; import amplitudePlugin from "@analytics/amplitude"; import intercomPlugin from "@analytics/intercom"; import segmentPlugin from "@analytics/segment&q

Hi, I'd like to know which apps on App Store using Intercom. Could you help? It would be great if you could share some photos/screenshots of those apps using intercom for messaging. Thank you!

I am using using https://api.intercom.io/contacts/searchto make an api call from Salesforce to Intercom to get the contacts. But it comes in pages.How do I get it all in one page? or go through pages in my api call???? Please advice

In my research, I've found 2 ways to calculate this. Thanks! Example 1:CSAT (%) = (total responses given / total possible response scores) * 100Example 2:CSAT (%) = (# of very dissatisfied * 1) + (# of dissatisfied * 0.75) + (# of neutral * 0.5) + (# of satisfied * 0.75) + (# of very satisfied * 1) / (total responses)  

I do a lot of exports based on different segments that I have defined in Intercom. When the export arrives in my inbox, the segment name isn't included, and it often arrives long after I've forgotten why I wanted the export in the first place. If there were a way to name or tag the export it would help my workflow tremendously.

How can I view # of replies submitted to a conversation with a particular customer - to understand how many messages it takes before customer's problem is resolved?

Hey I'm trying to merge a lead into a user using this EP https://developers.intercom.com/intercom-api-reference/reference/merge-contact but I'm getting the next error:{ type: 'error.list', request_id: '001o99eqgp4578ve7ef0', errors: [ { code: 'unprocessable_entity', message: 'User merge for external leads is disabled by default unless explicitly allowed by passing allowed channels array' } ] }Where do I have to add the allowed channels array in the request and how?

Can customer reassign their ticket(s) to their colleague? For example, when they go on leave.... 

There is no root 'companies' property returned, it's 'data'.And the type that comes back in the root properties is 'list', not companies.

How do i query the deleted/blocked users via rest API?

We are using the Salesforce app through the marketplace, Also we have mapped some Intercom attributes with Salesforce custom fields on the Intercom.

We have a community site and in addition to showing Intercom Articles automatically in a chat session, we'd like to also display links to relevant community posts ​that match the customer's question.

A client of us would like us to add Identity Verification to their implementation with Intercom, which is done through Google Tag Manger. I've come across this page: https://www.intercom.com/help/en/articles/2631808-install-intercom-with-google-tag-manager.Which explains how to install intercom itself. It also notes you're able to add an user hash to the Install event. However, its not clear to me how this hash gets to the Install event in GTM, since this is generated in the backend of the application (.NET in this case), and we dont manually send anything to Intercom, since its all done through GTM. Are there any resources that explain how to make sure this hash is added during the Install event (with a backend in .NET and the installation of Intercom in GTM)?

HI, I'm wondering if you will have webhooks related to surveys being answered? I would love to use triggers like this to build an Intercom app. Cheers!

How can we make our emails more consistent in their look with space under our logo. The images below are the same email as received by two different users. Thank you! 

I've set up events within my workspace but when I've gone to check on how they are doing - I've found that they are blank; why is it? Have customers not triggered them or? What does the recently used mean?

Trying to setup Intercom with react-native, got it working well on Android, but stuck on iOS attempting to register users (breaks for both unidentified & identified register methods) Tested a few different versions, all working as expected on Android, but still failing with same exception for iOSNPM Package: @intercom/intercom-react-nativeTested v3.0.3 - v3.0.5iOS Package: Intercom (intercom/intercom-ios)Tested v12.0.0 - v12.4.3React Native (npm): react-nativeTested: v0.66.x + v0.68.x + v0.70.x (latest) Strange part is that it actually worked the very first time tested on iOS simulator using registerUnidentifiedUser() method, then started seeing this exception and now cannot get any version of Intercom.register** to work without throwing this same error (for any/all iOS developers & devices). We have implemented the Intercom.logout() method, and have used it trying to force reset/register again, but no luck. Please help! Here is the full exception & trace for context:Except
