 Yesterday and today we experienced two inbound phone calls in a short period where the phonecalls entered the Hold and assign call step and remained In queue.No available teammate was automatically offered the call, even though atleast one teammate was active and could immediately answer the call manually.Can someone of Intercom check the backend routing logs to determine why no teammate was selected for automatic assignment for these conversations? I've already tried to figure out what might have gone wrong, based on the logging I am thinking it might have something to do with the away status and how we have configured our workflow, but no clear reason could be determined.We have enabled Show team composition in conversation event log, but no team composition events are written to the conversation timeline for new inbound calls. Is there any prerequisite for this feature, or is it expected to work for all Phone conversations?We compared a successful inbound call with a failed inbound

We would love to see an option that allows callers to remain in the queue without having to make an active IVR selection.In our market, the most common expectation is simply to wait for an answer. Requiring callers to press a key to continue waiting can create unnecessary friction and may lead to confusion or abandoned calls.An option to let callers stay in the queue automatically, while still offering callback or other choices as optional alternatives, would create a more natural and user-friendly phone experience.Would anyone else find this useful?

Hi intercom,In order to integrate with other chat service.We're evaluating the possibility of replacing the Messenger widget with our own chat UI, backed by the conversation API / or intercom-node. I found this post before: You will need to handle apps inserted into the messenger and conversations. You will miss out on a lot of the features offered by Operator. May I know what exactly will miss / break if connecting via API ?this is what i found so far: 1. Canvas Kit apps in conversations2. Fin replies: does Fin's answer arrive as a normal `comment` part (plain text/HTML we can render) ?3. Read/seen stateAnything else that silently breaks in a custom UI when Operator/Workflows run ?Or is there a guidance in document regarding this approach?Thanks

We have some team members that are not on Intercom all the time. However, some message do need their input. It would be great to be able to slack teammate when they are mentioned @____ in the notes.And also, when the chat is assigned to the person.

I have great difficulties managing the Brand appearance once chat goes to email, due to the fact that I can only sign up with one email adress.  When I turn off using my own email Intercom will still show my workspace name in the generated email Even if it says "Viktor from Brand 1" or "Viktor from Brand 2" The email adress is still limited to one domain or Intercoms own. I cant be the only one working with multibrand setup. How do I grow if I cant customise my brands. Any advice / tips /workarounds?  Did not get lucky in Customer Support (BTW I have the possibility to edit different brand styles)

We use quite a few pictures and GIFs in our Help Center. A single picture is often used in multiple articles.Since we release new features and adaptions regularly, we always have to go through all articles and replace the pictures used. The update process is becoming a real pain.  Is there any way to have a central registry for pictures/GIFs? We would love to replace pictures/GIFs used in multiple articles centrally!

Hi everyone,I’m running into a frustrating glitch with the email builder and could really use some help or workarounds.The Issue: Whenever I send a newsletter (even just a test email to myself), the template's background colour completely disappears. To make matters worse, the system seems to inject random blocks of alternative colours out of nowhere, which completely breaks and "crashes" the newsletter's layout.What I’ve already tried to fix it: Custom Templates: I built brand new custom templates from scratch to see if the original was corrupted. Inspecting Settings: I went through every single style setting to ensure nothing is left on "default" and everything has a specifically assigned colour. Despite all of this, the layout still breaks every time it hits the inbox.Has anyone else experienced this colour-stretching/disappearing bug recently? Is there a hidden setting or a specific CSS clash in the new editor causing this?Thanks in advance for any insights!

I am no longer able to highlight text to copy it. It unhighlights too quickly. I never had this problem before I started seeing little floating icons for Co Pilot next to everything I highlight. Now that it’s there, nothing stays highlighted long enough for me to even press control + c

We are seeing an issue with Intercom outbound welcome messages in our Flutter Android app where the same outbound message is rendered multiple times repeatedly in the conversation/preview screen.Instead of showing the welcome message once, Intercom displays the exact same content duplicated 2–3+ times in the same thread/UI.Note:Issue comes in Android version 14 and 15. No issue in Android 16.  

I wanted to flag some feedback on the recent change to the Intercom tagging system (rolled out this past weekend), as it's slowed down our tagging workflow noticeably.Previous behavior: Typing a partial tag would surface a matching suggestion, which we could select and confirm by pressing Enter. This made tagging very fast.Current behavior: Partial matches no longer trigger suggestions — the full tag has to be typed or pasted before it appears. Additionally, the Enter key no longer confirms the selection; it now requires manually ticking the checkbox with the mouse.Together, these two changes have added meaningful friction to a high-frequency action. Would it be possible to restore the partial-match autocomplete and Enter-to-confirm behavior, or is there a setting we may have missed?

Hi Intercom Team,I’m writing to express my frustration regarding an ongoing issue that I first reported on April 11 and followed up on June 15. The issue involves IME (Input Method Editor) languages like Korean, Japanese, and Chinese, where pressing CTRL + ENTER to send a message causes the last character of the input to be duplicated and sent again.On April 11, Emily from your team responded with the following:"Hey again Eric! 👋This was actually recently tested and confirmed as a bug by our engineers so it has been added to our backlog to be fixed.For greater context, our product team prioritizes bugs based on the severity of the issue and how widespread of an experience it is with customers. To provide insight on expectations, issues like this may not be actioned for some weeks. This timeline is based on the team's current existing log of issues and upcoming feature releases which is subject to change.So what happens now?Now that your issue has been logged to be fixed, I will wrap u

Hello. I can see that you’ve updated the Intercom mobile app, but unfortunately the experience has become noticeably worse.The most frustrating change is that the message input field now only displays a single line while typing. This makes it extremely difficult to review, edit, and proofread longer messages before sending them. For support teams that spend all day communicating with customers, this significantly impacts usability and efficiency.Honestly, this feels like a step backward and goes against basic UI/UX principles. A text input area should expand as users type, especially in a professional communication tool.Please consider bringing back the previous behavior. The old version was much more practical and user-friendly.

Hello folks! I’m trying to workout how to (if possible) create a follow-up Ticket when a NPS Survey is below a certain threshold.  The NPS Survey is currently being sent up to once every 90 days, and my intention is potentially follow-up with user’s based on their response.  I want agents to be able to review the NPS Survey response, and optionally contact the user based on the feedback given in the response.  Therefore, I was thinking the best way to go about this would be to create a ticket containing the NPS Score and NPS comment, and then the agent will be prompted to review (and optionally contact) the user.  However, I can’t work out how to get this to work via a Series; I can trigger a webhook (but that doesn’t seem capable of creating a ticket). I feel like I could probably use an Action, but I can’t work out how to trigger an action via Series.  Has anyone come across anything simila

Have anyone successfully created a custom subpath for the Help Center?I would like to make my Help Center available on our main domain www.oursite.com/help, but despite every setting, it only shows “Not found” error message. Intercom Support team has no clue...   

When a ticket is created from a contact form submission containing the customer's full query, Fin currently does not respond and the ticket closes due to inactivity because Fin is waiting for a new customer message. Is there a way to configure Fin or a Procedure to treat the ticket's submitted content as the triggering message, so Fin responds without requiring the customer to send anything further?

I add an outgoing post every month, to let our clients know of upcoming Windows updates / server reboots.I remove these posts from the Outbound > Messages section, but they remain visible and accessible in the front-end Intercom messages that are visible to our clients.Is there a way to have these removed?Thanks​​​​​​​Mark

The leads are all accurateNo error is shown, just that 3700 have been added 

My company has used Intercom for years but we have not yet made use of subscription types. We have hundreds, if not thousands, of customers who have opted out of all emails so they aren’t receiving account related emails. The only real option I see is to use the subscription opt-in form but we can’t force customers fill that out. Because of that, the subscription type opt-in for account level updates isn’t reliable. What’s the best way that I can make sure customers are receiving account level updates? We do currently use in-app messaging to account for people who have unsubscribed.

When saving a draft in the article editor, the live article's "last updated" timestamp updates as if a change was published — even when no published changes were made. The timestamp should only reflect the last time a change was actually published to the live article.

When did Intercom disable the functionality for viewing past conversations for the end users?It is a HUGE downgrade for us and for our customers. We depend on them being able to view the previous conversations.

We've been working on screenshot automation for years, but we've just launched in the Intercom App Store. Woohoo. :-)LaunchBrightly automate product screenshot capture and sync screenshot updates directly back to your Intercom Help Center articles.If you've ever maintained documentation, you know the drill. Your product changes. The screenshots in your articles slowly drift out of date. Then one day you realize you're showing an old version of your product to customers.We aim to remove that manual work. Create a repeatable automation recipe once, and continuously generate fresh screenshots of your product.In our case, we connect to Intercom natively, read existing articles, identify which screenshots have drifted from the current product, and then help update those images directly in the articles. Since many customers generate a fresh set of screenshots every Sunday, keeping documentation current becomes largely automatic.It's one of those wonderfully unglamorous problems that almost e

Hey Connectors! Our Inbox product team are looking for feedback on which bulk actions you'd like to be to do in the Inbox. So, let me know in the comments!

Currently, once a reply has been sent in a conversation, it cannot be edited and can only be deleted. This limitation can impact clarity and efficiency, especially when small corrections are needed (e.g. typos, missing information, or minor wording adjustments).We would like to request the ability to edit a reply after it has been sent, rather than requiring deletion and re-sending.Expected Benefit:Improves communication accuracy and professionalism Reduces unnecessary message deletions and follow-up messages Enhances overall user experience and efficiency when handling client conversationsSuggested Behaviour:Allow users to edit sent messages within a defined time window (e.g. 5–10 minutes), or Allow edits with an “edited” indicator displayed for transparency

Hi all, we just turned on the Suggest Help Articles Task Bot for both users and leads and in the first week of use we are finding its article suggestions to be way off. It seems to be suggesting just our oldest/highest viewed articles without taking into account keywords (see below for an example).  I've already read Intercom's "Let users help themselves with smart suggestions" and "Share articles to answer questions faster". I've done the suggestions about writing relevant articles with the words the customers are searching for.  The suggestion about -"When a customer gets in touch, you should send them a relevant article in your first reply to them. If they send you a second message before you reply Operator won’t learn from this." - really doesn't work for my company. When our users actually get to talk to a live agent they expect targeted, step-by-step support, not just guidance on where to find an article and especially not on the firs
