intercom-react-native not working on Expo SDK 53

Hi guys, I am having problems to upgrade from expo 52 to expo 53 due to intercom issues.In version 8.0.0, ios is not working due to  ❌ (ios/TakenosDevelop/AppDelegate.swift:1:2)> 1 | #import <IntercomModule.h> | ^ no macro named 'import' 2 | import Expo 3 | import React 4 | import ReactAppDependencyProvider This is fixed on 8.5.0 but this version uses sentry Android SDK >= 8 and clashes with sentry-react-native that uses sentry Android SDK >=7.  I am using @sentry/react-native version 6.14.0(recommended by expo)Here is a conversation related to the issue on sentry github: https://github.com/getsentry/sentry-react-native/issues/4688The error i am seeing:Error: Exception in HostFunction: No direct method <init>(Ljava/lang/String;ILio/sentry/android/core/internal/util/SentryFrameMetricsCollector;Lio/sentry/ISentryExecutorService;Lio/sentry/ILogger;Lio/sentry/android/core/BuildInfoProvider;)V in class Lio/sentry/android/core/AndroidProfiler; or its super classe

Memory leak in iOS SDK (18.7.3) when presenting Messages?

Hello! We recently integrated Intercom into our iOS app (currently using Intercom 18.7.3 SDK for iOS). As I’ve been monitoring the releases, I have seen in the Xcode Organizer → Metrics → Memory a BIG spike in our app’s memory use. We have changed little in the app itself since integrating Intercom, so my investigation of the memory spike focused on Intercom.I started with the simplest exploration: use Instruments with the Allocations tool, Mark Generations, and see what happens. In my case, I tested our invocation of the Messages UX. Our app code in question looks like this (simplified): // In the ViewControlleroverride func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, didSelectRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) { tableView.deselectRow(at: indexPath, animated: true) let action = self.sections[indexPath.section].rows[indexPath.row] switch action { case .emailfeedback: self.viewModel.sendFeedback(from: self) }}// In the ViewModel (almost; VM uses a Service class, which then this i

Unclear about API response schema for pagination

I was trying the List collections endpoint under the Help Centre APIs using PaginationTh Pagination Guide describes List APIs as using cursor based pagination, with the “next” parameter containing the “starting_after” parameter which can be used to fetch the next page of resultsHowever, when I tried the List collections endpoint I got this as the result for the “pages” parameter. The “next” parameter gives a URL, not an object as described in the docs"pages": {    "type": "pages",    "next": "https://api.intercom.io/help_center/collections?per_page=1&page=2",    "page": 1,    "per_page": 1,    "total_pages": 4  }Here are the headers I used for reference:{“Authorization”: “Bearer <token>“,“Accept”: “application/json”,“Intercom-Version” : “2.13”}Since I’m passing the intercom-version I don’t expect this to be an error with the version. Please explain the correct way to use PaginationI see a related issue here. However I’m unsatisfied with the solution provided. In case the API

Prevent Stripe from creating duplicate users?

I’m trying to bring down the number of duplicate emails in Intercom so I can actually use the Hubspot integration. It looks like one of the culprits is the Stripe integration. Many of my duplicates look like this: User 1:email = jane@doe.com user_id = foobar stripe ID = unknownUser 2:email = jane@doe.com user_id = unknown Stripe ID  = abcdefI can manually go through and archive these junk users that Stripe has created, but then my question is:Can I prevent Stripe from doing that in the first place? Can it just wait for the “good” user (one with a user_id) and attach the stripe data to that one? If I archive the stripe-connected user, will Stripe attempt to find and resync with the good user?

Ticket Comment Notifications - Subject Line Contains a Blank Value ''

I’m using the API to create and manage tickets, and seeing some unexpected things in the auto-email-notification subject lines.The steps I’m following:Create a ticket via the API. Type: Tracker Ticket. It properly appears with my title and description. (Notifications skipped). Assign that ticket via the API. (Notifications skipped). Add a comment to the ticket via the API. For this step I’m not setting skip_notifications to true, so a notification does get dispatched.The problem is that the subject line of that notification is: Re: [Company Name] [Assignee Name]: ''The empty single quotes indicate that it should be possible to get something to appear there. I’d love to be able to display the ticket title, or the contents of the comment that caused the notification, or pretty much anything other than ‘’.

Canvas App Sheet: Custom Attributes Not Available Despite Being Set via embed

Hi everyone 👋We’re building a Canvas App Sheet for a live Intercom Messenger integration. Our goal is to let logged-in users view and update profile data — specifically values like First Name, Last Name, Primary Chapter, and SpotMe_Id — all of which are being passed into Intercom via a custom embed snippet.✅ These custom attributes show correctly on the user profile inside Intercom.🚫 But when the Canvas App loads via /sheet, the contact.custom_attributes payload does not include these fields (we checked with full logging of req.body). We tried accessing them via: jsconst contact = req.body.contact || req.body.context?.contact || {}; const attrs = contact.custom_attributes || {}; Even though we can see the correct attributes in Intercom, attrs only contains empty/default values like Member, or Global.We’ve verified: intercomSettings in the embed includes the attributes (they appear in the user profile) We’re using open_mode: "conversation" in our Canvas App button App is launched

@intercom/messenger-js-sdk with React

We are trying to use official @intercom/messenger-js-sdk with our react app.https://www.npmjs.com/package/@intercom/messenger-js-sdkWe are calling Intercom instance in our App component Intercom({ app_id: ..., });and then updating user info when user data is available using following functions:import { boot, shutdown, update } from "@intercom/messenger-js-sdk"; when there is no user data we are calling boot with only id,boot({    "app_id": "...",})and if there is user data, we are passing required properties to boot functionboot({    "app_id": "...",    "user_id": "...",    "name": "...",    "email": "...@......",    "created_at": ....,}) It seems that when calling with boot({ "app_id": "..."}), user data is not cleared and in chat we continue to receive messages as if user is still logged in.Once boot() is called with user data, can it be rebooted with no data (for example, in scenario if user is logged out from our app and we want new chat instance without user data)? Also, if t

Lead is not updating through API

Hi,  So I’ve been working on setting up my account and I’m stuck at this for over a week now.  I’ve got a lead form and these leads are being sent to Intercom, with custom lead data (attributes) such as event date and event type. This is all sent through zapier and Intercom API.  However, when a lead already exists, it’s not updating the lead with these custom attributes. All API work, I get the right 200 response, I do not get duplicated leads and so on. Mapping is all correct and we tested via Postman and via Intercom test enviroment, here it all works, yet sending real data via Zapier to Intercom does not update the lead.  We’ve checked with both support teams and lead data is sending through zapier to Intercom. However Intercom support mentioned they do not receive the body call, while the zapier logs show this is being sent correctly.  What is going wrong here, is this just a bug? I can’t believe no one is using the API on zapier to update lead profiles. I’ve spent 10 hours + ever

Update internal notes via API

Hi Intercom team,I’m Romain from Ringover, a partner working with clients on Intercom integrations. I’d like to submit a feature request regarding the ability to ⭐ update internal notes ⭐ via your API.Currently, instead of updating the original internal note with new content (e.g. an AI-generated call summary), the API creates multiple separate notes for each update. Since Ringover also sends additional after-call events such as updated notes and tags, this results in a cluttered view within the Intercom workspace.Being able to update an existing note via API would significantly improve clarity and user experience for our shared clients.Could you please forward this request to the product team?Thank you for your collaboration.Best regards,Romain

Webhooks for checking Linear tickets

Hi Team,Is there a way / specific webhook one could use to subscribe to events when a Linear ticket is created from an Intercom conversation? I was unable to identify any specific one - as far as I can tell the only way to check from Intercom side is to loop through the conversation parts looking for the note signifying the connection.Thank you in advance!

How are you aggregating total handling time across tickets?

It appears that the only opportunities for aggregation are Average, Median, Minimum, and Maximum but I want a Sum of all the time spent handling tickets for the last three months. How can I aggregate by Sum instead? How can I either remove the aggregation options so I can see a total sum, or get a full list of all the conversations and all of their handling time so I can sum it myself? Thanks!

Bug: Conversation Search API not returning expected data for boolean rules

Noticed an issue with the conversation search API, specifically on boolean fields when coupled with the != operator.For example the below query (even when run from the “Try it” button on the docs page) returns the same exact response as when using the = operator.  POST https://api.intercom.io/conversations/searchBody: {    "query": {        "operator": "AND",        "value": [{      "field": "read",      "operator": "!=",      "value": "true"    }]  }}I tested with different value types (string, boolean), other boolean fields (ex: open), as well as with “false” values. The behavior is the same.Please assist.

Android SDK Callback for Dismissal of Intercom Messages Screen

We are using the Intercom Android SDK in our android app to provide customer support. Specifically, we are presenting the Messages space using the following code in Kotlin:Intercom.client().present(space = IntercomSpace.Messages)We're interested in knowing if there's a callback or event triggered when the user dismisses the Messages space by clicking the back button. Our application has specific action that need to be executed when the user returns to our UI, and it would be extremely useful to have this kind of event available.I noticed that on the iOS SDK, there are IntercomWindowWillHideNotification and IntercomWindowDidHideNotification callbacks for similar functionality. Are these iOS callbacks triggered when the Intercom message space is closed? If so, is there an equivalent on the Android SDK?If such functionality is not currently available for Android, are there plans to introduce this feature in a future update?

Multiple conversation_updated_at for same tag_id and conversation_id in conversation_tag_history table

Hello,When I query the conversation_tag_history table, I noticed there can be multiple conversation_updated_at values for the same tag_id and conversation_id.Usually the MIN(conversation_updated_at) value is accurate, but I wonder how this can be the case?It happens frequently so I don’t think it’s because someone is removing a tag and adding it again, but I can be mistaken.Thanks in advance!

Calculating Time In Unassigned for ALL Conversations

Hello All,As I continue scaling tiered support, I’m working to improve how we monitor both real-time and historical trends. Specifically, I’m trying to track: Time from conversation start to first assignment (Time in Unassigned) Time from first assignment to reassignment (Time in Tier 1) Time from reassignment to first close (Time in Tier 2) I also want to make sure we’re capturing the entire lifespan of the ticket, including both open and snoozed time.Right now, inbox views are the only way to surface aging tickets—but they aren’t designed for this kind of analysis. They don’t function like reports, and they don’t allow us to layer in the conversation attributes we’ve added, such as product area or difficulty level.That makes it tough to proactively support aging tickets, coach the team in real time, or dig into specific themes during 1:1s—especially when trying to identify which product areas need more targeted coaching.I’d love any ideas on how we can bring better visibility to
