Push and integration with Intercom

Hi everybody, we are integrating Intercom with two of our custom built applications. In these two applications we have built the standard integration with Intercom. When I sent a banner or chat from Intercom to these applications, they only appear within these applications when I do a refresh. Of course this is not the behaviour that we want: we want our users to directly see the banner/chat in the applications. Both applications a web based cloud native. It seems that the push mechanisme does not work. What are we doing wrong?

Getting started with Fin and Data Connectors

Currently our customer support operations is very manual and we are growing. We’d like to implement AI automation that would both A) help answer customer questions but also B) help take common actions (refunds, issue credit, cancel subscriptions etc) -- initially after human review. We use Stripe and have our own API for our backoffice tools.My questions are: 1) can intercom handle off of this? And 2) If I want to find a consultant or expert to help us implement this, any recommendations?

Prevent users from opening multiple conversations doesn't work

Hi! I have the “Prevent users from opening multiple conversations” option enabled in Intercom settings, but when calling Intercom.presentMessageComposer(); from my React Native app, it always creates a new conversation instead of navigating to the existing one.Is this the expected behavior, a known issue, or am I missing something in the implementation?What’s the best way to handle this scenario?Thanks!

Request to Register Caller ID Name (CNAM) for Intercom Support Number

Hi, our company Medflow IO uses Intercom for customer support and we purchased our phone number directly through your platform. We would like to register our company name (‘MedFlow IO’) as the caller ID so that patients see it when we call them. Could you please help initiate CNAM registration with Twilio?”

Android: Disable notification Bubble?

Hi! Evaluating Intercom now as a potential replacement for my previous support system. Setup has been great so far! However, I do see one potential showstopper in the Android SDK. When receiving a push notification it is possible to open the intercom messages directly from the notification, and then have a permanent “chat bubble” on the home screen. We are a very small team with a large userbase, and can’t have a direct line to support available on users home screens. Is there a way to disable this? I do want users to get notified when there is a new message, and it could be fine to open the messenger directly. However, to show a permanent chat bubble on the home screen is not something I am comfortable with. Can you disable this in some way?

Export of internal articles

Hi, I managed to utilise the API for extracting metadata of all the customer facing articles in the help centre. Is there a way (API or workaround) to export internal facing articles from our knowledge base as well? Thanks in advance.

I'm currently facing a build error in my React Native Android project while integrating the @intercom/intercom-react-native package.

Here are the errors:  jetified-intercom-sdk-base-15.10.3-runtime.jar: D8: java.lang.NullPointerException: Cannot invoke "String.length()" because "<parameter1>" is nullWhat I’ve Tried: Checked build.gradle for SDK version compatibility Cleaned and rebuilt project (./gradlew clean && ./gradlew build) Searched through Intercom docs and changelogs Looked at open issues in the GitHub repo My Setup: React Native version: 072 Intercom SDK version: 15.10.3   Gradle: 8.0.1 Questions: Are these methods deprecated or moved to a different namespace? Is there a recommended way to check login state and fetch user attributes in the latest SDK? Should I downgrade to a previous version of the Intercom SDK? Any help is greatly appreciated!

Problema con getUnreadConversationCount() en React Native: siempre retorna 0 aunque hay mensajes no leídos

Hola comunidad,Estoy integrando Intercom en una app React Native (bare, usando EAS Build, no Expo Go) y tengo el siguiente problema:Uso el método Intercom.getUnreadConversationCount() para mostrar un badge de mensajes no leídos.El usuario está correctamente identificado (userId y email coinciden con los del panel web).Desde el panel web de Intercom, envío mensajes al usuario (tanto desde un agente humano como desde el bot).En el panel web, los mensajes aparecen como “Not seen” para el usuario.Sin embargo, en la app, el método getUnreadConversationCount() siempre retorna 0, incluso después de recibir mensajes nuevos y refrescar el conteo.Ya probé con mensajes automáticos/bot y tampoco se refleja el conteo.No necesito push notifications, solo quiero mostrar el número de mensajes no leídos.Estoy usando la última versión de @intercom/intercom-react-native y la integración nativa está bien (la mensajería funciona).¿Alguien ha tenido este problema?¿Hay alguna limitación conocida en el SDK de

Keyboard Nav in Messenger (Sources)

Hello,  I was recently testing the keyboard navigation on my help site and while most things work really well, when viewing a response in the Messenger I can’t seem to navigate into the Sources section. I’m not sure if I’m doing something wrong or if this isn’t currently possible. I would like all my users, including those only using keyboards, to be able to navigate to the bot’s sources.

What is your key Fin metric

Hey everyone!I’m curious to hear from other Fin users – what key metric are you focusing on to demonstrate Fin’s success to your organization? Personally, I’ve found that resolution rate isn’t always the best indicator since so many variables can impact it. For example, a customer might receive a perfect answer but still choose to speak to an agent, or Fin could close a conversation automatically due to spam, both of which can skew the resolution rate.I’m leaning toward deflection rate as a more telling metric – measuring the percentage of support handled by Fin versus what’s escalated to humans. But I realize this might be oversimplifying things. Would love to hear what others are tracking and why!

How do you keep track of conversation topics without manually tagging conversations?

I'm curious to learn how some companies using Intercom keep track of conversation topics or common query themes without having to manually tag each conversation.We occasionally need to pull reports for customers to highlight common questions or trends, and I'm looking for ways to make this process more efficient.Would love to hear any best practices or tools you recommend!

How to avoid replicating users when importing a CSV file?

Hello, I'd like to send an email to 991 users and 661 of those are already registered in our Intercom. The missing 330 seems to have declined the cookies hence don't appear on our system but we have their email addresses. If I import those 991 users to Intercom, 661 will replicate. So is there a way to avoid this and reach those 991 only once? Thanks a lot in advance!

Workflow that can update a customer ticket when a linked tracker ticket is updated.

It would be massively beneficial to enable the ability to create a workflow that can update a customer ticket when a linked tracker ticket is updated. I spoke to Karsten about this in chat and was informed he would submit a feature request for this.

Integrating Intercom with Circle.IO

We plan purchase Circle. IO for our course and community platform. We need to make sure that Intercom integrates with it before we finalize the purchase, though. Circle said it should integrate just fine, but we want to test it first. They asked me for an Intercom code snippet. Intercom bot directed me where I can find this. I shared it with Circle and they were unsuccessful with getting the snippet to work. Is there anyone at Intercom that can help me outside of the bot? Or anyone else use Circle and have had success integrating intercom?

Missing content when syncing information from our website

We sync the information from our own Help Center (not created in Intercom) with Intercom so that Fin AI can answer our customers’ questions. Currently, Intercom is not syncing nested content. For example, if we have a series of steps (numbered bulleted list) with sub-steps and sometimes notes or additional paragraphs between the steps, only the steps are imported. Example: Text in the red box isn’t brought into Intercom when I resync the website.

Fin's flawed assumed resolved & pricing design

Hi everyone, I'd like to get your two cents on the way Fin handles “assuming” it resolved an issue at the moment. Sorry for the essay 😅TL;DR: Fin assumes it has resolved an issue when you step in before a customers presses “Speak to Human”. I do this when Fin is completely wrong and I want to help the customer ASAP as they're in big trouble and I can help them out of it quickly.  My situation:I work a company which makes photography hardware for event venues, museums, theme parks, etc. with which you can take a picture, replace backgrounds with themed ones (Friends, Harry Potter, F1, Bluey, etc.) and print them on location. Our system works on our inhouse SaaS platform. Locations that use our hardware are often so packed that there are long queues to take a pic. Supporting customers:When something goes wrong, hardware or software related, people on location instantly start “losing” money and they're stressed about it. Unsatisfied queues of visitors make the situation worse. When they

Need help for building FIN AI Agent

Hi,We’re trying to create a FIN AI agent for user interaction on our product support. We want to achieve the following - Create a ticket in Intercom and mark it as auto-closed if the person’s issue is resolved already. If the issue is not resolved, ask the person about his/her location and phone/email. After a ticket gets created and our agent is about to close, it should have the ability to pick and choose options for closure, like via phone, via text, via video.
