Hello, We are currently using Intercom in our Expo React Native app for customer service messaging. We have previously been using Expo SDK 53 and React Native 0.79.5 with the react native intercom package 9.0.3 and all has been working well.However upgrading Intercom to 9.1.0 or higher is causing some very weird issues for us.Our app streams HLS video where the HLS playlist contains 10s chunks of video which is presented to the user as one long continuous clip. When scrubbing forward in the clip further than what’s been buffered the stream will obviously need to buffer. Our player is using the expo-video package, but we’ve tried with other packages as well such as react-native-video. Now to the issue; Intercom 9.1.0 and higher causes the app to crash when scrubbing forward quickly in the video stream, this problem is only present there and when downgrading Intercom to 9.0.3 it’s working fine again and I can scrub and pause/forward/rewind with no problem and the app is not crashing. I c

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.

Hello support!When fetching a conversation using GET conversations/{id} or POST /conversations/search, the statistics fields are all null. I’m using version 2.10 but tried with 2.14 as well and it doesn’t work either. This is the object I receive  "statistics": {      "type": "conversation_statistics",      "time_to_assignment": null,      "time_to_admin_reply": null,      "time_to_first_close": null,      "time_to_last_close": null,      "median_time_to_reply": null,      "first_contact_reply_at": null,      "first_assignment_at": null,      "first_admin_reply_at": null,      "first_close_at": null,      "last_assignment_at": null,      "last_assignment_admin_reply_at": null,      "last_contact_reply_at": null,      "last_admin_reply_at": null,      "last_close_at": null,      "last_closed_by_id": null,      "count_reopens": 0,      "count_assignments": 0,      "count_conversation_parts": 7    }  My close is to know when was last time a conversation was closed and intended to use stat

Hello Intercom Community,I'm encountering a persistent issue with retrieving and listening for unread conversation counts in my React Native application using the Intercom SDK. Neither Intercom.getUnreadConversationCount() nor the IntercomUnreadConversationCountDidChangeNotification event listener seems to be working as expected.Goal: My objective is to display the current unread message count from Intercom within my app's UI (outside of the Intercom messenger itself).Expected Behavior: When new messages arrive in Intercom conversations, the IntercomUnreadConversationCountDidChangeNotification listener should fire with the updated count. Intercom.getUnreadConversationCount() should return the correct number of unread conversations at the time of the call. Actual Behavior: Intercom.getUnreadConversationCount() consistently returns 0 (or null/undefined, please specify) even when there are clearly unread messages visible when I manually open the Intercom messenger. The Intercom.addEve

We’re presenting Intercom articles with Intercom.presentContent(content) . Everything was working well in version 8.8.0 but after bumping to 9.x, the close button at the top article header is broken in iOS and doesn’t respond to taps. The only way to close the article is to drag the overlay down (which is something that might not be obvious for every user). It is working correctly on Android.

Hi everyone, I'm facing a critical issue with QuickBooks. Despite having an active internet connection and attempting manual updates, the payroll tax table isn't updating. This problem is crucial for our payroll accuracy and compliance. I urgently need your help to troubleshoot and resolve this issue. Any suggestions on forcing updates or fixing connectivity problems with QuickBooks would be greatly appreciated.

We setup a regular sync between our IC instance and an external website for industry-specific content/context. Filtered URL's to be specific to the pages we wanted, but it still resulted in nearly 25k+ pages being ingested; many of them were repeats/duplicates.Since then, we've attempted to delete/remove the source from the Knowledge center pages with no success. It appears to still be going through regular syncs of new content and never fully removes it. When asking Fin, they suggested it would require API intervention. Requesting assistance to have it fully removed.  

We are trying to use official @intercom/messenger-js-sdk with our react app.https://www.npmjs.com/package/@intercom/messenger-js-sdkWe are calling Intercom instance in our App component Intercom({ app_id: ..., });and then updating user info when user data is available using following functions:import { boot, shutdown, update } from "@intercom/messenger-js-sdk"; when there is no user data we are calling boot with only id,boot({    "app_id": "...",})and if there is user data, we are passing required properties to boot functionboot({    "app_id": "...",    "user_id": "...",    "name": "...",    "email": "...@......",    "created_at": ....,}) It seems that when calling with boot({ "app_id": "..."}), user data is not cleared and in chat we continue to receive messages as if user is still logged in.Once boot() is called with user data, can it be rebooted with no data (for example, in scenario if user is logged out from our app and we want new chat instance without user data)? Also, if t

Hello everyone,I'm trying to understand how the total_count value is calculated for the ListConversations and Search Conversations endpoints, as I'm observing some unexpected behavior.When I use the ListConversations endpoint, the total_count seems stable and returns a very high number (around 7 million). However, when I use the Search Conversations endpoint with filters, the total_count is significantly lower and seems unreliable.Here are my specific questions and observations: I added a filter to search for all conversations before today's date, but the result was much smaller (from 7M to around 350k). If I try an earlier date, it returns the same result. Is it possible that the Search endpoint only returns a limited dataset of the entire content? Is the Search endpoint reliable for calculating total_count? For example, when I use the following query to search for conversations within a specific date range: JSON   { "query": { "operator": "AND", "value": [ { "fie

Hi everyone,I work in Customer Care, and my clients reach out via email, inbox, calls, video calls, or Intercom. All interactions are logged in HubSpot. I’d like to send an automated CSAT survey after each support interaction.I’ve seen the CSAT feature in Intercom, which is great for sending instant surveys to clients. However, I also need a way to send surveys to clients who contact me through channels outside of Intercom and I want to be able to track data in one place for my KPIs.Has anyone done this before? Is there an integration we can set up to make it work across all channels?

I already added all the CNAME and TXT record to my DNS server. However, the outbound.intercom is the only one did not get authenticated and i have already wait more than 48 hours for it.It is because i am in the dev environment? 

Hi I am Prakash Hinduja, a visionary in financial strategy, born in Amritsar, India, and currently resides in Geneva, Switzerland (Swiss). I’m trying to set up a workflow in Intercom and want to make sure it only triggers once per conversation, not multiple times. If anyone have any suggestion please share with me. 

Mukesh Karkey here, I'm looking for advice on how to create highly targeted messages and in-app tours for specific user groups. I understand Intercom's segmentation capabilities, but I want to know about real-world use cases and best practices. Thanks,Karkey

I'm using React Native 0.78.3 and using Intercom SDK version @intercom/intercom-react-native 8.6.0. While most features work correctly, the app freezes and crashes on iOS after I open an in-app Intercom message and swipe left to right (from the left edge of the device) to close the Intercom UI View. Reproduction Steps Launch the app on iOS. Trigger an in-app Intercom message. Try to swipe left to right (from the left edge of the device) to close the Intercom UI View. App becomes unresponsive and eventually crashes. We’ve tried on other apps that are using the Intercom SDK and see that the issue is happening. The issue was fixed in @intercom/intercom-react-native 7.2.1 https://github.com/intercom/intercom-react-native/releases/tag/7.2.1 but it happens again on later versions.  Updated I’ve tried to upgrade to the latest version of @intercom/intercom-react-native 9.1.1 and the issue frozen whole app does not happen anymore but all the buttons in the intercom window are still frozen

Hi everyone, We recently started using Intercom’s NPS survey feature, but we’ve noticed our response rates have dropped significantly compared to our previous tool.In our old setup, there were a few things that really helped boost responses: A “dismiss” option that let users hide the survey temporarily, and then reshow it later. An automatic follow-up email if someone closed the survey, giving us another chance to capture their sentiment. A Slack integration so our team could proactively reach out in real time. Intercom suggested setting this up through a Series (survey + email), but that would mean duplicating the Series every 90 days and sending all NPS requests at once, rather than based on user duration or behavior. That’s why we set it up as a survey, less manual work, but it does come with these limitations.We hoped that moving NPS into Intercom would give us deeper segmentation (e.g., being able to filter detractors, promoters, and neutrals by NPS survey, against our interco

I’ve been back and fort with the support team on this for weeks, and made sure to set up Finn correctly. I have this very simple instruction asking Finn to not reply to my customers if it doesn’t know the answer to their question. No matter how I phrase it or how many ways I repeat it, Finn will “behave” for a while and then go back to replying, mostly embarrassing nonsense responses.It’s ridiculous! I keep having to apologize to my customers for the dumb responses it will give to super basic questions. See below my current instructions - I can’t think of another way to repeat this… I keep adding them.Is Finn just not ready for real world usage?Or is it just my account that’s cursed? I can’t keep coming up with different ways to phrase this simple instructions (and the support team can’t either, aparently).   

We are a SaaS company, and have deployed Fin to only half of our user base (which has been very successful to date). We have yet to deploy to the other half (mostly enterprise users) because they each have very unique account settings/configurations. The general content on our help center that supports Fin does not account for each of these unique instances, and would provide incorrect/misleading answers for these users.It would not be scalable/manageable to generate unique content/tagging for each account with their unique settings, so we were excited about the possibility to connect Fin to our custom MCP server to gather contextualized information for users on common queries and answer accordingly. (Discussed here: https://www.intercom.com/help/en/articles/11461635-powering-fin-with-your-external-tools-using-mcp-connectors)However, we can’t find a ton of information on connecting to a custom MCP server rather than using one of the templated options (Stripe, Shopify, Linear). The abov

Hello, we currently have Fin turned on for our users. It is the first thing our users interact with, we do not have a fin workflow setup yet. Fin will respond first, then if the response was irrelevant or not helpful, a team member will jump in to reply and assign conversation to themselves, in hope that fin will stop responding. However, when the customer replies again, fin will respond again. Is there a way we can stop this from happening?Sequence:Customer messages Fin replies Team mate assigns conversation to themselves and replies Customer replies Fin replies againI know there is a setting that does not allow fin to ask follow questions, but if we disable that then we lose custom answers. Please advise.

Here is what I'm trying to do: Select the box for the pop up optionsSelect an option Here's a video, and I'm not sure why I can't figure this out?    

Is there a way to view if someone else on the team is actively looking at the conversation? Other ticket/chat systems you can usually see someones profile picture icon somewhere to signify that someone is also viewing the same conversation. I know that a chat bubble shows up but that also doesnt tell you who is responding or show you what they're writing.

I am working on a SwiftUI iOS app.  Building with the latest SDK (Xcode 15.4) to run on iOS 16 and above. We set our App’s accent color using the Global Accent Color Name build setting.  As soon as I include the Intercom Package via SPM our accent color is changed to the default blue.  Why is Intercom changing the accent color?
