We have mentors who go over our clients (students) homework. I want them to be able to initiate chats with a student if they have a note about a specific homework task hey submitted. (i.e. "your answer to question 13 is incomplete"). Mentors have users in our Intercom (they are team members), but I want the mentors to be able to launch the chat from the UI they use to check students homework rather than go into intercom look up the user and initiate a chat.  So I want them to be able to click a button next to a task they are checking, which will pop up either the messenger or any other way to send a message, where the user is already set (based on the email of the student I will pass to Intercom) and the task name/number included in the default text. Is there a way to achieve this natively, via an integration or via API?  

I'd like to add 100+ users to a tagged group but as they already exist on our intercom account I'm worried they will be duplicated (and receive multiple emails). Is there a simpler way of doing this rather than me searching for each individual person and tagging them? I have a document with all of the emails I need.

We have the Salesforce Inbox App installed. Can I customize which fields from the Salesforce Account show up in the app in the Intercom Inbox?

We have Zendesk & Intercom working side by side and at this point, we are creating tickets from Intercom to Zendesk about specific conversations. Now I am thinking if it would be possible to use only Intercom but before I go any deeper I would like to know how I could have all the customer data from Zendesk to Intercom? In Zendesk we have a wide history of customer tickets and data and of course, I wouldn´t want that to disappear. We have tickets in Zendesk that are not in Intercom at all. So is this kind of integration possible and how? Tanks in advance! 🙏

I can create a message and send it to a user, but when they reply it goes to the admin who created the message. I'd like to have this assigned to a group instead, which I can do in the Intercom UI. There doesn't appear to be an option to set that via API.

We recently had to update our customer's user ID's and a few duplicate records were created in the process. We are not sure how this happened but what I am wondering is what will happen if we archive the duplicate record? We recently had to update our customer's user ID's in Intercom and a few duplicate records were created in the process. We are not sure how this happened but what I am wondering is what will happen if we archive the duplicate record? I read that we can't merge 2 users so it seems like archiving the duplicate is the only alternative. I'm just worried about that possibly having unwanted side effects. Any advice would be appreciated!

Hi, We are using webhooks to fire events when a user unsubscribes from receiving emails. This is working fine, but we also want to fire events when a user re-subscribes. I can't see any documentation capturing a specific resubscribe event, but is it possible to capture this event using another webhook? Edit:If the above is not possible, is it possible to remove the 'resubscribe' link from the 'you have susccesfully unsubscribed from emails page' Alternatively, can we redirect from the 'you have unsubscribed' page to our own URL, i.e. our own custom 'you have unsubscribed from our emails' page?

Are there plans for the "Content Showcase" app built by Intercom to support custom attributes? Right now we can only use a static URL. The challenge we have is each customer has a unique URL, so it would be great if we could pipe in custom attributes e.g. Company ID.

After installing Intercom SDK using CocoaPods I get a build error trying to run my app on a physical device (on the iOS simulator everything works fine). The error I get is: building for iOS, but linking in dylib file (/Users/zivnergal/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/MishlohaDeliveryApp-axgsnxqfnywcgrevkhngnimsxuzw/Build/Products/Debug-iphoneos/Intercom.framework/Intercom) built for iOS Simulator, file '/Users/zivnergal/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/MishlohaDeliveryApp-axgsnxqfnywcgrevkhngnimsxuzw/Build/Products/Debug-iphoneos/Intercom.framework/Intercom' for architecture arm64 Anyone faced this issue?🙏

Hello everyone,I was trying events creation API on postman and have correct recently created a lead from the lead API.The lead API successfully created a lead with the provided details, and I tried adding an event to this user, this event API gave 404 error user was not found.I also tried this event creation on the leads that were captured from the conversation message & also tried it with manually added leads created on the Intercom platform but still the event API was returning 404 error.But this event creation is successfully happening on users that were earlier leads.The API call returned 200 and I can also see the event addition on the platform. Pic: Events addition failed and says user not found Pic: Lead is present in Intercom Pic: Adding event on leads works perfectly My question was is there some limitation on the lead's side from the backend of Intercom, which stops adding events in lead?If not then what's the correct way of doing it. Also, I wanted to know how ca

Hello everyone,I had a use case where we need to report the video activities watched by the user.I was using the custom attributes to save the video activities.The custom attribute I created was video_view with a datatype of list.Now every time a user watches a video I update the list attribute with a new video name and then update the video_view (custom attribute) value to this video name in the lead data. Now the issue is, if 2 videos are watched by the lead we would have to add 2 values to video_view(custom attribute) but the list attribute can only store 1 video name at a time whereas the user watched 2 videos.So I was thinking of custom attribute which can have multiple values.If there is any better approach let me know. Also why I am using custom attribute is because operator on the Intercom can easily filter out the user based on the video name.If possible can we have an object type in custom_attribute so that we can store further details in the same attribute?

How do I set up the Intercom <> Hubspot integration so that the lead from the intercom is imported into the Hubspot already with an identification of which landing page he first contacted? I have 3 different landing pages where the intercom chat is active. Through the intercom I can already know where the lead came in contact with the tag "Referral url" in the individual report of each lead and through the field "Top pages for new inbound conversations" in reports. How do I get this information to appear on the Hubspot automatically? 

The conversation end Webhook only returns the very last message in a conversation in the conversation parts object.  Should it show all parts of a conversation or am I supposed use a separate API call to retrieve all parts of a conversation?

Hi everyone, we have 2 workspaces in intercom. A Salesforce app is connected to one of our workspace and I like to know if I can connect another workspace to the same Salesforce org.Is there any way I can have the second intercom workspace linked to the same salesforce environment? I could really use the help! Thanks a lot :)

We made an Intercom App relying on CanvasKit and the Sheets within the Messenger.However Messenger Sheets display from within an iframe, and some users can't access it because they have iframe blockers… Sometimes it's even worse as their blocker prevents the iframe to open in the messenger but opens it into a new tab, and obviously it does not work as expected if rendered from outside the Sheet into the Messenger… So, even if that's not something we can fix, I wanted to know if you had some advices and experience about it? The idea is to make a clean UX whatever the issue is…
