Hi!Could you please help grant access to the restaurant? Our bot automatically closes all requests, but we need to allow one restaurant to pass through the bot and enter the chat.Thank you!
Hi everyone,We are working with Intercom and recently added the function to sort incoming chats based on the customer's inquiry. Chats that didn't fit into specific categories were sent to a general folder.However, we are encountering an issue where closing resolved chats in folders seems to cause the chat count to increase rather than decrease. For instance, if there are 20 chats in the "Payments" folder and we close one, instead of the number dropping to 19, it sometimes increases to 22 and then stabilizes at 21.Has anyone experienced something similar or have any suggestions on how to fix this? Your help is greatly appreciated!Thank you!
I am trying to send email messages via the messages API endpoint and its failing. Perhaps my current authorization token doesn’t allow the sending of messages, even though I’ve check all of the boxes? I have found via OpenAI instructions for adding “message” scope to the authorization token. But OpenAI doesn’t seem to be in line with reality, as I cannot find the Intercom UIs it refers to. What is the right way to make sure my authorization token includes the messages scope?
Confirmed this is a problem on ios Safari/Chrome/Firefox and Android. Let me know if anyone as had this problem before. Video attached. I have reached out to Intercom support as well.
I’m currently using the Jira for Tickets integration to send Conversation data to a Jira Card using the “Create Jira Issue” action in our workflow… The issue I’m experiencing, I cannot configure the integration to send the entire conversation to the Jira card. Our use case, if a user has a technical issue, I want to be able to create the jira card with the conversation details attached to our dev team has knowledge into the inquiry. It works for the First Message Body and Last Message Body.. But the card misses the entire conversation. Thoughts? API Request Body {"fields": {"project": {"key": "PIDT2023"},"issuetype": {"name": "Support"},"summary": "Conversation ID: Conversation ID","description": {"type": "doc","version": 1,"content": [{"type": "paragraph","content": [{"type": "text","text": "Urgency: Urgency"}]},{"type": "paragraph","content": [{"type": "text","text": "Conversation URL: Conversation URL"}]},{"type": "paragraph","content": [{"type": "text","text": "Message Body: Messag
We are currently using a different product to house our internal documentation, however, we’d ideally want to keep it all in one place. Our team uses both our internal documentation as well as our client-facing help articles to resolve problems. I’m curious of some best practices on how others are organizing this information within intercom. Any ideas are appreciated!
Hi! I have a question, along with maybe an idea.We recently signed a new contract and have a ton of new features - yay! When getting things started and identifying what all we have available, I’m running into issues where I want to set up a feature thats visible in the section under Billing > Overview > “Features included in your subscription” to make the most of our available features, but there’s not an easily findable resource in the features section telling me how to set something up. Ideally, I’d LOVE a hyperlink to the article associated with each available feature, detailing how to set each specific feature up.In the meantime though, is there a straightforward way to identify what features we have available and the correlated how-to guides?
For some transparent organisations like ours, where ticket resolution delays are communicated upfront to customers, it’d be great to have the ability to display the SLA countdown on both the Messenger ticket and the ticket summary automatically sent to customers after each ticket update. By putting this crucial info upfront on Customer Tickets we’d provide instant visibility to customers regarding expected resolution timeframe as well as avoid a substantial number of customer requests asking “how long it will take you to resolve my ticket?”. I suspect this small feature request might benefit many Intercom customers, what do you think? Eventually it could be set to hide / show on Customers Tickets, same as any other ticket related attribute. UI example here below:
I want to switch from basic automation to custom workflows For example, on the basic automation, I left a Jira .txt file in the commentsAnd I saw the on the intercom:1. link to jira issue2. comment 3. .txt file How can I set up custom automation so that it works the same for me as for basic? Because the standard template cannot display a .txt file and .jpg file on the intercom.
Do you allow custom unsubscribe links, meaning using our own unsubscribe page that we've already built ourselves? Having multiple unsubscribe pages for different services (Intercom being one service we use) confuses customers and makes it pretty hard on our engineering/data team. Most major email providers allow companies to use their own unsub link; they typically ask us to send our custom unsub link for checking/verification first of course.
Is it possible to force the agents in our system to tag conversations before they close them? For example if an agent were to attempt to close the conversation without tagging it, it would send a message saying 'Please tag this message first!' and it would prevent them from closing the conversation
How can I customize the CSAT survey? I need it to have two stages: one to evaluate the analyst and another to evaluate the company/product.What steps should I follow to achieve this in the automation?
I want to be notified when a user has contacted our support team and they have opened more than some set number of tickets. The users in our case are external customers who are using our product. The purpose of this is to make us proactive and reach out to them instead of waiting till they get upset and frustrated. Currently, we’re responding to that upset and in some cases; that’s too late. Basically, I’d like to stop having the tail wag the dog.
How are y’all translating your articles?We just launched a Korean brand, and need our help center translated. I spent some time looking in the new “Knowledge” area, and was very disappointed in the lack of “Copy content to” options, or just duplicating all of the english content into the KR translation as a starting point. Even copy-and-pasting from the backend knowledge area was not usable and scalable for the help center. Am I missing something, or is it really this difficult to copy existing article content into a translation to be translated?
Our confirmed resolution rate is between 6-7% usually and our assumed resolution rate is near 60%. Looking at the conversations, I would estimate that 1/3rd at least of the assumed resolutions represent a correct answer and our clients are just not clicking the “Yes that helped” button that would mark it as a confirmed resolution. My experience with bots is similar, I rarely give bots feedback, because I know its not human. Any tips or methods that you have tried that increase clients use of the confirmed resolution?
Hi guys, does anyone know if we have any addons for remote support? A company I work with had this question and at least I couldn't find it.
Hello everyone,Is it possible to assign a macro to a specific teammate in the "Available for" field? This option would help organize custom macros that are created by contributors.
I was looking through the workflow builder and I am not seeing a way to assign a ticket attribute in there. Basically what I would like to do is assign conversation to specific team and then convert that into a ticket and then set a ticket attribute value for that ticket. I am not seeing a way to do it in the builder but wanted to check here if there was any tips or tricks other people have used.

I’m working on creating a Workflow that involves customers selecting a product and, where applicable, the version of that product. Based on their selection, I want the Workflow to query a specific knowledge source tied to that product and version. For context: Product Example: Product X has two versions: Version A and Version B. I’ve created separate knowledge sources for each version. I need the Workflow to dynamically use the relevant knowledge source based on the selected version. Current Progress: I’ve set up a Workflow with branches to capture product and version selections. I want the selected version passed as a variable to direct the Workflow to the correct knowledge source. Other products that don’t have versions will be treated separately, but I’m focusing on versioned products first. Challenges: I’m unclear on how to dynamically pass the selected version through a Workflow path and use it to query the correct knowledge source. I’ve explored setting attributes and co
Hi, I’m trying to set up a workflow for a custom auto reply (I was using the instructions here) but it is not working. Context: I want to set an automated reply + close a specific ticket type for users who are mixing up our company with another company based on specific keywords that will trigger the workflow. I set a workflow using those instructions above, but it isn’t actually working. I don’t want to interfere with other rules/workflows around what to do with new inbound convos. How can I set this up?
