I've noticed quite a few conversations return a null time_to_admin_reply in the conversation.statistics object even though there are agent replies to the conversation in Inbox.  My assumption is that the time_to_admin_reply key would return a duration in seconds of the time from when the conversation was created until the first admin (agent) responded. Is that not the case? If not, why would a conversation with admin replies return a null value?

Hey all, I’m curious to see if anyone has experience integrating one of the voip phone apps with Intercom?  Im looking to have a conversation (I’d call it a ticket or otherwise in Zendesk) per voicemail, missed call & text message from my clients.  Thank you :) Dinos  

A couple of months ago we built a workaround to export Messages from Intercom via the unstable Message Export endpoint. In the latest API, does the Search for Conversations return messages? In other words, if I did a search for yesterdays conversations, would it also return one-off / single messages from campaigns or manual messages to Contacts? https://developers.intercom.com/intercom-api-reference/reference#search-for-conversations/p>

If I create a bunch of contacts I'm hoping they won't be counted a people reached until they actually use intercom.

I turned on Identity Verification and therefore need to set a user hash. The documentation states this to set the User Hash:When your iOS app initializes Intercom if the user is identified (i.e., you have a user id or email address), pass in a String of the HMAC returned from your server's authentication call. This should be called before any registration calls. I looked at the Intercom iOS sample app here. I do see that registerUser is called in two places:On app launch inside of: AppDelegate/didFinishLaunchingWithOptions (Objective-C sample) or SceneDelegate/willConnectTo (Swift sample)On user tapping login: handleUserLogin My question is: do I have to call setUserHash in both places as well? The documentation states I need to call setUserHash before any registration calls. I'm not sure if this means that I have to call it in both app launch and user tapping login. Could someone please confirm when to call setUserHash?

I'd like to know, for example, how many members wrote in about green frogs last month.  The next week, if there's a rise in conversations about red turtles, I want to be alerted that this is becoming a trending topic from members reaching out. I don't want to rely on our CS team to notice the trend, because with the sheer volume of conversations we're handling, it shouldn't (and can't) be up to human eyes to spot these trends.  Thank you SO much for any help or suggestions!

We're using stitch and metabase to get a companywide reporting. So I want want to calculate our medium first response time. But the results doesn't match with the intercom report. How do I have to use the attribute `statistics median time to reply`?

Slack: "Reply in Channel" click gives the error: "intercom: We couldn't find the user who started this conversation in Intercom." when the chat was initiated via intercom. We have 2 support workflows, workflow-1 works fine but workflow-2 doesn't.  WORKFLOW-1 (Works): Our app users send a message via in-app intercom messenger and it gets to our slack channel where the support engineer can click on "Reply in channel" to start a conversation. ALL GOOD WITH THIS WORKFLOW WORKFLOW-2 (Works partially): We want to send a new message (not reply) to a particular user, preemptively (without that user ever having send us a message first). We send this message via intercom dashboard... but then we want to continue any conversation on our integrated slack channel... So what we do next is this: 1) After sending this message to the user, we assign this conversation to our "Support" intercom team. 2) Only after this assignment, it pops up a message on ou

I see that you can use the Slack integration to send notifications to public Slack channels. Can I use it to send notifications to private channels?

Hey all, I've been evaluating Intercom for what I feel like is a long while...my use case is different than many people here most likely...I don't have an app; just want to use Intercom for marketing & support for my website consulting clients.  The biggest thing I haven't figured out to do yet (without writing code...) is when a new lead signs up for my services (which I'm slowly moving to pre-paid packages that they pay for monthly), I have a Zapier zap that changes their user profile from a lead to a user in Intercom.  Does anyone know if that's possible to do with Zapier? I believe it is from the docs I've read, but any guidance would be awesome :)  Thank you all! DInos

Hi - I am writing a custom Bot that needs to gather up conversation attributes that have been set via a custom bot, and send them to our system to trigger an alert. It seems that the conversation_parts where these conversation attributes are being set are coming back in a "comment" conversation part without any body, and without any other structured data. Is there some additional API or trick I need to use to retrieve these conversation attributes? I am assuming it is possible, right? Help!

If we use this API https://developers.intercom.com/intercom-api-reference/reference#list-data-attributes can we able to fetch any of the data attributes and pass that attribute value to a variable and then that variable need to be passed on to Watson. If yes could you please provide some guides/steps to achieve this?

How do I get conversations of a contact? There are methods for getting all conversations and all contacts? Should I loop through all conversations to filter the ones that belong to a given contact?

We're using Intercom's Slack integration to notify our team channel of when a user signs up to our app. Is there a way to send notifications to specific Slack channels depending on certain tags/properties (e.g. IP country)?

Intercom Conversations is sending multiple push notifications to our customer service team per message.

I used the intercom widget to post a bug report over 4 weeks ago and my conversation still says it's "not seen yet". Not a good look Intercom.  So now I'm going to try posting here and hope that somebody here can graciously be of help.  25% of our weekly crashes reported are coming from intercom. And all of it is coming from: [ICMUserIdentity isEqual:]  Currently version of the app in the store has:Intercom SDK - 8.0.0Compiled on XCode 12.1Support iOS 11.0 and higher. The large majority of our users have migrated to iOS 14 - so its not surprising necessarily that 95% of the crashes are from iOS 14 devices. I have no repro steps unfortunately - just the crash logs showing up in Crashlytics and Apple. It is crashing a non-main thread: com.apple.NSURLSession-delegate Here's a full stack trace:Crashed: com.apple.NSURLSession-delegate0 objc_msgSend + 201 -[__NSCFString isEqualToString:] + 2482 -[ICMUserIdentity isEqual:] + 13112363 -[ICMIdentityStore isEqual:] +

Please give me some guide lines in publishing my app. In “submit for a review” page, we are expected to provide a “End- To- End” video, with installation step of the app, how it is possible to show the installation step even before publishing it? How to make my app available to only subscribed users? Is it possible to handle our payments externally? Is it possible to get some one to chat to have more interactive discussion ? (NOTE : I am trying to publish my app through my company profile - imaradevteam@gmail.com)

I can see two different URLs in OAuth Process and Installation. Do both of them talk about same URLs? (Please check the attached screen shots)

Hey all, I have a widget that is using a live content_url to query our server each time the client opens up the intercom window. The widget works just fine, however I don't see an option to reply with an "empty" canvas or so in order to hide the widget. I am probably missing something... If I have found that I have nothing to show the user, I would like to hide the card with the live canvas result.. how can I do so? Thanks!

Hi, this is my first post, so go easy :) I'd like to reply to the last conversation using the api. The URL I'm calling is: https://api.intercom.io/conversations/last/reply/p> I'm using this as reference - https://developers.intercom.com/intercom-api-reference/reference#reply-to-a-conversation/p> The message body looks approximately like this: {  "message_type": "comment",  "type": "user",  "user_id": "usersemail@aferry.com",  "body": "Test message"} I've confirmed this user exists but I get this response: {    "type": "error.list",    "request_id": "000sdhmlsb3j8gk6qieg",    "errors": [        {            "code": "not_found",            "message": "User Not Found"        }    ]}Any ideas appreciated. I can't see what could be wrong.

We are working with mobile carousels on iOS but need to support different languages. We would like to trigger our carousels automatically. I see rules based off of browser language, but do not see anything for device language. From what I can tell the browser language is not getting set when the user is registered through the mobile SDK.

Hi,Using webhooks to integrate Intercom with some 3rd party software.Subscribed for "conversation.admin.replied" topic. Everything works fine, until the "Article Inserter" is used.When message contains inserted article, the webhook data provided is: 'part_type': 'comment', 'body': '<p>[App: Article Inserter]</p>' So, there is no way to convert such webhook data to message in 3rd party software. We only know that some article was inserted. No url, no ID or title. It will be great if webhook data will contain information about inserted article.Hope it will get fixed someday. P.S. When we use "Insert Article" from Intercom mobile app (without Article Inserter app) - everything works fine, we get the article url in webhook data. But on desktop there is no such button without extra app...
