How can I access the conversation ID in a workflow?

Hello, I am currently working on a project wherein we want to add a note whenever a customer starts a conversation. The note will contain a URL based off the conversation ID. So if a customer creates conversation 1234, we will leave a note example.com/whatever/1234.It does not appear that the workflow “add a note” action allows me to populate the note with the value {{conversation.id}}.Is this something that would be possible to add support for? The only workaround I can think of is to create a custom action which POSTs the conversation ID to some API endpoint which responds with the ID, store the ID as a custom attribute, and then use that custom attribute in the note. This is less than straightforward and seems more difficult than simply referencing the ID directly from the “add a note” action.Is this something that Intercom can support?

Can Fin perform actions based on the user?

Can Fin AI bot authenticate a user and allow the user to perform certain actions specific to the user?  I’ve explored custom objects and actions but it seems to me that anyone using the Fin AI chatbot would be able to ask questions related to it. For example: Retrieving order info, requesting refunds, listing all my orders/products specific to the logged in user. Thanks

How to insert a linebreak in a conversation attribute

Hello,I’m working on a workflow for a chatbot using an API. My issue is simple, this API is returning content from our API that I need to display on Intercom Messenger.It’s working fine but with an issue: line breaking (\n) are ignored. I tried with <br /> but it wasn’t my best idea → the “<br />” will appear in the conversation. I checked the API response in the custom action log, the API is returning JSON as planed, with some \n or \n\n. They just disappear when the content is used in a message in Intercom Messenger. Any idea to fix this ?

Need Help with Adding Bottom and Side Space in Messenger

Hi everyone, I've been tinkering with the messenger settings, specifically trying to add some space at the bottom and sides, but I've hit a bit of a roadblock. I've tried fiddling with the code and exploring the Intercom web settings, but so far, no luck.Interestingly, I've managed to switch the messenger's side from left to right and vice versa successfully, both through code and the web settings. However, adding space seems to be a bit trickier.Just to give you a bit of context, I'm working with the react-use-intercom package.Any insights or guidance on how to achieve this would be greatly appreciated!Thanks in advance for your help.

How to handle the need for multilingual Ticket forms?

 I understand that ticket names don’t support multiple languages.Ticket type names and attributes don’t get translated / localized in the Messenger even if you support multiple languages. What’s your advise now?Should we create multiple ticket types just to handle the name display? But can we show different ticket types based on languages?

Reliably route customers to correct language support?

We are currently re-structuring our Support workflows for our app with focus on AR, DE, EN, FI and NO language. As our support is only available via Mobile SDK, we’re struggling to forward customers to the correct language.The issue with this is that our app is a local social media platform and our users are as well using it abroad, language routing happens on “language override”. Unfortunately, this leads to misrouting if users are having their device set on e.g. English but are writing content in FI, where then our EN Support team has to move it to the correct team again, taking too long for a satisfying support experience.Is there a better and more reliable way to route customers to the correct Support team and assign the correct triaging workflow in their language?

Issues triggering workflows in an SPA using GTM

I have intercom messenger installed in my SPA using GTM. In various places in the product I have buttons with the key value pair data-testid="get-help". The issue I’m having is that when the site loads one button with the above data-testid is visible and clicking it triggers the messenger as required. See first image below, help button on the left triggers a workflow in the messenger (all fake data btw). I then have the following, which shows when a user clicks a different button and in this space we have another help button (see top left of the green space). This button again has data-testid="get-help" and operates in the exact same way as the other help button but when clicking it, it doesn’t trigger the workflow in the messenger.  I don’t understand why it’s not triggering the workflow and how to resolve this. Any help/guidance appreciated.

Manage companies from messenger

Hi, We have the messenger installed on our website and we now need to 1) create the companies available in our product 2) associated the users to each company.I know that both points are possible via the intercom API but I was wondering if these two steps can be achieved directly by passing the company_id and name (for 1) and some sort of link in the payload sent by the messenger like we do for the user_data:user_data{"email":"myemail@google.com","user_id":"github|blabla","user_hash":"d5c0534625a6ec7ad75bc5b2a9f231b1febb226ff37bde15df3e6693c0130677"}it’s probably not the most secure way but I was wondering if it’s something that can be done instead of doing all this back-end side  thank you

How To Delete A Conversation

Just talked with Intercom staff through chat and got feedback that seems odd to me.Feedback was that there is no way to delete / archive a conversation.   You can either delete a user (not what we want to do here) or use API to delete the conversation.This seems like the most basic of functionality that is missing.  How are others getting around this?Only thing we can think of now is to add a conversation data element called “Deleted” and set that every time we close something we want to delete.  But to close, we have 5 different required fields--so those all have to have a “Deleted” option in them.  Then every report needs to ignore those.   This seems like a lot of extra steps to workaround a basic function being missing.
