Hello,I’m looking for any possible ways we might be able to create a Hubspot Ticket from within Intercom.Our use case is this: our Support Team directly supports our customers via chat and email in Intercom. If an issue is identified that requires Engineering help, we create a Ticket in Hubspot for Engineering to pick up.I’m looking for solution so that our Support Reps don’t have to keep a tab open in Hubspot to manually create tickets.Any possible ways to do this?

Hi. Creating a new topic as the existing ones about this are quite old.I’m new to Intercom (used HubSpot before). My customer support team used to receive all messages on MS Teams. I see that Intercom doesn’t have an out-of-the box integration with Teams. Is there any 3rd party solution for this or has anyone achieved this in a relatively simple way?Thanks!

Does anyone have a solid work around to export reports, including all the charts, as they appear in Intercom? I'd like to share these with internal stakeholders who don't have access to Intercom.Currently, only function is to download the underline data or screenshot the report 😅 - where is I really just want to send the report to stakeholders.

Hi everyone,We’re currently using Tags as our main way of classifying conversations in Intercom (e.g. product area, issue type, billing, cancellations, etc.). It’s starting to feel a bit messy and hard to report on, so we’re considering moving to a small set of Conversation Attributes instead, and using Tags only for campaigns/one-offs and stuff like that.I’m looking for advice from teams who’ve actually done this: How did you decide which things should be Attributes vs Tags? Which Attributes do you find the most useful for reporting (e.g. issue type, product area, plan tier, outcome, churn reason)? Did you make any fields mandatory before closing a conversation? If so, how many before it became annoying for agents? How did you handle the transition period? Did you backfill old conversations or just start from a certain date? We’re also using Fin and I’d love any tips on that side: Are you using Fin to help set Attributes (directly or indirectly)? Do you let Fin apply Tags/inte

Hello,I work on a platform and they are using intercom for their live support chat. I am using for several months and it worked perfectly. But now for over a week, it keeps loading here:  I’ve talked with them via email and even they’re shocked. They don’t know what’s wrong, neither do I. I’ve cleared cache, relogged in, and changed browser, nothing worked. Can anybody please help me out in this regard? Thanks in advance!

Hi, I want to know how to write bold text as an user that messaging with the company?Tried to do markup syntax but nothing works, the only thing that seems to be working is <br> tag which breaks a line, is it possible at all to write bold text as an user?

a lot of inbound emails come in to my support mailboxes with multiply people on the email and I would like us to send out the CSAT email to all people in the conversation.

Hi everyone, Is it possible to list all snippets from our system? I would like to list them like I list articles (https://developers.intercom.com/docs/references/rest-api/api.intercom.io/articles/listarticles) Best regards

Hi Intercom team,After updating our app to Intercom iOS SDK 19.2.1, several developers on our team started facing issues where Swift methods (like loginUser(with:), logout(), etc.) are no longer properly inferred or recognized by the compiler.Details Integration: Swift Package Manager (official repo intercom-ios-sp) Project type: Pure Swift (no Objective-C bridging) Issue: For some developers, Xcode shows only Objective-C versions of methods (e.g. loginUserWithUserAttributes:success:failure:). Error: Cannot infer type of function call or No exact matches in call to function 'loginUser' Behavior: Happens inconsistently across machines — some developers see the correct Swift interface and can compile fine, others cannot. We already tried: Clearing DerivedData & SPM caches Re-adding the Intercom package Confirmed same SDK version (19.2.1) Still, the issue reappears randomly on some environments  ObservationWhen we “Jump to Definition,” for working setups i

I would love to have an option to involve in only for collecting conversation Attributes. Right now it is not possible and any workaround works.  Even if I create a special tag/inbox for collecting attributes Fin must be involved which means even if it meet the escalation rule, it will reply that the conversation has been passed on. I would like Fin working in the background, collecting attributes from ALL conversations.  Maybe managing the Fin’s steps (in Let Fin handle nod in workflows) would be a solution. I mean turning off using content, guidances and leaving just collecting attributes would do the trick.  

Hi all, we use the Stripe integration from the Intercom App store, and I’ve found some cases in which not all of the Stripe data is populated when a subscription is created. Looking at the affected record in Stripe, I can see the event logs that reference data sent to Intercom but there are no errors present and the request body matches other Intercom users that DO have the subscription data. Is there any logging from the Stripe app in the Intercom marketplace where we can try and troubleshoot this? The best answer I got from Fin was “turn it on and off again” which might be the solution, but I’m hesitate to try that given how central this integration is to us. 

I am facing problems while trying to create an account on intercom, the error 403 forbidden appears, it shows that my workspace is suspended, but I have respected all the policies.

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?

Hello everyone,I’m Darshan Hiranandani, I’ve been working on an API that allows me to create articles with titles and main content. So far, I’ve been able to create articles successfully, but I’m facing a challenge when it comes to uploading images or attachments to these articles.I know some platforms like Intercom have hosting services that allow you to upload and store attachments, but I’m not sure if they offer something similar for direct image uploads.Can anyone share their experience or suggestions on how to upload images or attachments via REST API? Any help or ideas on how to handle this would be greatly appreciated!Thanks in advance!RegardsDarshan Hiranandani

I own an iOS application that supports Teacher - student lessons. So I need a 1:1 chat where the student can be connected directly with the teacher and the teacher will only see their open chats with students that have started conversations with them. I did some quick prototyping on iOS and I see I can pretty easily set it up where the student can open up a global message queue (Messages Space) but how can I limit their scope to a particular conversation? Is that available in the iOS SDK or will I have to reach for some admin routes? 

Hello!Is there a way to create a “subject line” for macros? Seems only the email body can be created so I wanted to see if anyone knew if that was possible. Thank you so much, appreciate the help. 

Hello everyone,I’m Darshan Hiranandani, working on an application that has thousands of users, and I need to regularly create and update these users in Intercom, at least once a week. The problem is that the current Contacts API doesn't fully support bulk updates and comes with some significant limitations:It requires my app to track whether a contact already exists before performing a POST or PUT request. The API rate limits are very restrictive, especially for medium-sized user bases (166 requests per 10 seconds). It also requires storing the Intercom ID for updates, which isn’t ideal since my app uses an external ID for users. Additionally, the manual import process requires mapping each attribute, which is cumbersome and prone to errors.Given these constraints, I’m looking for a better approach or solution to enable bulk creation and updating of users in Intercom. Has anyone worked around these issues or found a better solution for handling bulk user operations?Would love to hear y

Hi there! We’re using the JavaScript implementation for web as followed on the docs, and we have some users reporting that they are either seeing a semi-colon added on the upper-right corner of the screen, or a full side panel that’s being injected when the “Need help?” badge is being shown. Please see the attached photos for a visual reference.Is this a bug that you are already on track or have a fix for? We’ve tried trying this to a simple page without any components, but it doesn’t seem to fix the issue. Any intel on this would be very helpful. Thanks!  

Is there a way to implement cookie consent on the Help Center? One way to do it would be to add a Google Tag Manager integration so that users could add their own cookie consent implementation. Rationale for cookie consent: The Help Centre already has an integration with Google Analytics (see https://www.intercom.com/help/en/articles/1346547-integrate-google-analytics-with-your-help-center. However, for many countries, cookie consent is required to use Google Analytics.The Help Centre can be part of the user journey for a business. As a result, it makes sense to be able to unify tracking/consent across all its domains/subdomains using Google Tag Manager.YouTube videos can be embedded in Help Centre articles, which sets its own cookies that can require consent. There may be other services that do this on the Help Centre.

We use round robin, which works well generally for us (doing live chat, ~2/3 min response times), but a pain point is that when team members go on 'away' & 'reassign' modes, reassigned conversations go into the generic team inbox rather than being assigned to an individual within the team. This means my team have to constantly keep an eye out for a little '1' on the team inbox number, which is frustrating and it's easy for things to get missed! Would love for them to just be assigned to a member of the team who is online, in the same round robin style and am not quite sure I understand why you'd want it to be assigned to the generic team... Or is there something I've missed?! Have spoken to the support team about this a couple of times over the last year and they've said there isn't a way to do it, so just wondering what others do!  Thanks! :)

I know the default survey uses emojis with hover-over text labels, but it seems like our customers might not be understanding the difference between each rating (see attached image). It’s starting to impact our metrics a bit.I’d really like to keep using Intercom’s native CSAT tool for reporting and widgets, but I’m wondering: Is there any way to customize the default emoji options (e.g., swap them out or show the text labels instead)? Or do we know if there’s already a product request or feature idea out there for that? Also related question, is it possible to tweak how CSAT is calculated in our instance? For example, could we have “OK” responses count as positive? A lot of our users are parents or older family members, and based on some past examples, “OK” seems to represent a satisfied response rather than a neutral or negative one.

When I checked the Japanese inquiries in Fin AI's Performance, I found that all the content is displayed in English even though customers wrote in Japanese. Can you change it to as it was written?Also, could you add a feature to filter and select only Japanese customers?When I search in Japanese in the content from Knowledge, the relevant items do not appear in the results. As my customers use only Japanese, I would really appreciate if you could solve this issue. Thank you.

I am currently setting up the Fin AI Agent. I have a question regarding the "Talk to a human" flow.When a user triggers the handoff to a human agent, how are the notifications handled for the assignee (or the team inbox)? Does the assignee receive an immediate email notification? Is it purely an in-app notification/browser push? I want to ensure that when the AI hands the conversation over, our support team is alerted immediately, even if they aren't staring at the Intercom dashboard.Thanks in advance!

Today we noticed an issue with Fin failing to respond to tickets. There have been no changes to the workflow but for whatever reason it just hasn’t responded to queries. We noticed the increase in FRT and drop in involvement but looking back we are almost certain this has happened before. It appears to be intermittent and no real obvious answer but curious if anyone else has experienced this and how you resolved.
