What is your Fin success rate?

Just out of curiosity, what is everyone’s resolution rate with Fin?We are just now implementing Fin AI for our bots and are trying to set realistic goals and expectations. Our manually created bots today deflect about 40-45% of chats without Fin, so hoping we can reach at least 60% deflection with Fin.

Improving Fin AI responses to vague queries

Hi there,We’ve implemented Fin AI (Chat and Email) on our support desk, and it’s been fantastic so far—it’s doing a great job handling first-line queries! 😊However, we’ve noticed a challenge when a customer submits a vague message. Fin will respond with technically correct information, but it’s often not relevant to what the customer truly needs.I’m wondering if it’s possible to improve this by getting Fin to ask clarifying questions before responding. I’ve been advised to set up a new workflow where specific vague questions prompt Fin to ask follow-ups, but trying to predict and account for all the potential vague queries customers might come up with feels inefficient.Is there a better way to manage this? Any advice or insights you could share would be hugely appreciated!Thanks so much

Feedback Needed! Customizing the Start Conversation Button in the Messenger

Hi everyone 👋 Soon you’ll be able to change the phrase used in the start conversation button on the Messenger Home screen via a drop down of options. We’d love to get your feedback on if these choices resonate and if you have suggestions you’d like to add. Right now we’re considering Send us a message, Ask a question, Chat with us, Talk to us, Contact us, and Start a conversation.    Just let me know in a comment below! PS - this first iteration won’t support a free text input, just a selection of pre-canned options.  Thanks, Christine

What is considered a good Fin resolution rate?

Hi! I was wondering if anyone has insight into what a good resolution rate for Fin would be? I know the marketing site for Fin says “Resolve 50% of your support questions instantly” - but is 50% the average that we should resolution rate that we should be seeing? We only just started our trial but are preparing support goals for the quarter and I’m not finding any information about this in the Help Center. I would love to hear Intercom’s thoughts on what they see across their own Fin averages or an average across all companies who use Fin, but it would also be helpful to hear from anyone who may have insight into this for their own company. Thank you!

FIN CSAT score

Hi everyone!If you are using FIN as the chatbot, I’m curious about what is the current CSAT score of your FIN profile. Ours is currently ~50%, and we are not really sure if it’s a good one. Thanks!

Some features not working on website (Beacons and Posts)

Hi, I have intercom set up on our website through GTM. The messenger is in the bottom and you can interact with it. I have banners working. But… when I go to set up a Beacon (tool tip) or a Post it won’t show up on the page. Any ideas? thanks

Spam/Marketing Emails

Hello!  I have put in a lot of work the last couple months to optimize our Intercom Workspace as well as Fin AI. We are seeing great results with our AI optimization (15% increase in resolution rates and a 21% decrease un unaswered questions!). I typically monitor the unassigned inbox to identify conversations that did not get routed through a workflow and then I add logic/configurations to ensure it doesn’t happen again. Everything is flowing as it should, except we continue to get spam/marketing emails to unassigned very consistently. Typically these are not assigned to a team and I just close them out. My question is, how do others handle these types of emails or conversations? Is there a way to do this with Fin but not use our resolutions? I want to maximize our teammate efficiency so I don’t want them to route to a team inbox where they spend time simply closing the conversations.  Any insight or recommendations are appreciated!

Is it possible to restrict Articles to Google or alternate external IdP users?

I understand that I can change article access to only Users. This is great, but users can’t view the articles unless they search for the article via the messenger in-app. I’d like to be able to keep our knowledge base private, but be able to send a link to a user. Am i misunderstanding how this works? If not, is it possible to add a SAML app or something to authenticate users via Google Workspace?Thanks!

Side Conversation Visible to Client

Hi All,We’re testing Intercom’s Side Conversations feature on the Advanced plan and ran into a situation we didn’t expect.Here’s what happened: Agent 1 was actively chatting with a client in a conversation. Agent 1 started a side conversation (via email) with Agent 2 to ask for internal help. Agent 2 received the email and replied via their inbox (outside of Intercom). That reply appeared inside the original Intercom conversation (expected) AND was visible to the client (unexpected). A few hours later, the client could no longer see that reply (it seemed to disappear). We were under the impression that replies to Side Conversations via email are kept private and not shared with the customer, so we’re wondering: Is this expected behavior? Was something misconfigured in how we sent the Side Conversation email? How can we ensure these responses never surface to clients again? I’ve attached a screenshot for context. The “test back” was a response from Agent 2 via email. Appreci

Reusable Workflow overriding sequence

I’ve creating a reusable workflow that has “wait” 15 minutes as the first command. Whenever I try to add to sequence on my workflow, it takes priority before the items in that sequence which I did not intend. I want the reusable workflow to kick in after 15 mins. How can I make this work? Thanks!

Macro Formality

Hey there! I’m a global quality manager and I’m curious how others keep their macros formal and informal in nature. For example, if a customer emails in a question vs messages. I’d love to hear from you on your formatting tips/tricks!

Role bases brand restrictions

I’m wanting to set up different brands so when a client emails a specific email, it assigns to that brand, and it’s that email that is the default email. My issue is, I’m wanting to set role or individual restrictions on who can reply to certain brands. Im not find any help articles or post about this. Is this possible?

Workflow clarification request to redirect and call attention to missed convos and tickets after a duration of time

I have a current Workflow planned where if teammate has replied is false, no one is assigned, and the last time the user was last heard from 3 days ago, it should tag the conversation as a missed connection and put an internal note to call on internal admins to view. I want this to be configured with business hours in mind so that weekends and holidays don’t count towards the 3 day rule. Would adding AND during default office hours work in this way, or would it recognize the workflow and scan for missed convos during business hours only, or only let us know during business hours, etc. I’m a bit unclear about how this will operate from the condition descriptions and am unable to preview Are there other time/duration related conditions that are possible for workflows, such as giving a general date range (weekly, weekdays, weekends, etc.) that are on the way or being considered for the product roadmap in terms of workflow building?

Slack Notifications "Participant Added"

When receiving a message in Intercom and then a Slack notification, half the time we will see “[Customer] started a new conversation” then block quote the body of the textThen the other half of the time we just get“Received participant added notification”Support wasn’t really helpful and said it’s been backlogged, but I see there is a post from over a year ago asking about this. No interest in Zapier, as when the notifications are working, it is as desired.

How can we set brands so the customers can see the correct Help Center

Currently seems not possible to set brands in the workflows. We need to match a user/lead with a brand within workflows so we can show them the brand-specific help center.  not based un URLs but in other type of data, like people’s data

Intercom / Slack integration - now showing "Received participant added notification" instead of conversation content

Our company has an automation between Slack and Intercom, such that when a new conversation is started in Intercom, we received a message in Slack with the contents of that conversation.  Starting today, for seemingly no explicable reason on our end, instead of the conversation contents being posted in Slack, we are just seeing “Received participant added notification”.  We’ve seen this occur twice, with the first instance occurring roughly 35 minutes ago.“Received participant added notification” is a string used by Twilio (upon which Intercom is built), and so we’re wondering if there’s a bug on Intercom’s side that is resulting in the notification being posted via the automation instead of the conversation contents.  Any help would be appreciated.

Newbie question using socials and new conversations

Hi there, I am starting with a very simply implementation. We are only using Facebook through socials to start (no web or mobile implementation.) We have a workflow that I want to run whenever someone opens a new conversation with us. I don’t want it to run the workflow for that person again until we close the conversation. Our workflow asks some basic questions and then assigns the conversation to me. I want to them communicate manually with the lead and then once I am done I want to close the conversation, and the next time they message us they get the workflow again.Thank you!

Is it possible to insert images in WhatsApp templates on Intercom?

I know it could be done on Meta or other CRM platform. And u know the messages are way more attractive if media files added. Or is it just like a paid alternative function on intercom?If yes please let me know how much is it for that. Thank you!!!

How do people recommend their team to manage Intercom conversation notifications?

Hey yall, conversations that are assigned automatically send 3 separate emails to the assigned teammate:One email about conversation contents Second email that the conversation was assigned to them Third email that the conversation was assigned to the Support Team they are onThis feel like a lot of emails for just one conversation. I talked to Intercom support and they said this is operating as expected, but that they’d put in a feature request for this.In the meantime, I recommended that our Support Team should have at least the following notifications enabled: Any mentions of you in a conversation Activity in anything assigned to youI was thinking about having them set it one up as an email and the other as a desktop banner notification - thoughts?
