We process incoming file attachments that can be delivered into our service in a variety of ways.One common way is that external clients will send email attachments which we then need to process. We have a dedicated inbound email address intended for them to send theses attachments to, and it works great when they do that.However, its also common they will send the attachment by email to our customer service address.It should be simple for the agent to then forward the message with attachment to our dedicated inbound email processing address.But I can’t for the life of me figure out how to do this in Intercom? Surely its possible to forward an email that we receive into the Intercom in-box?? Is there any other ways to get the file attachment to a separate email address so it can be processed?

In a workflow on my website, the bot asks if the user wants to choose between A, B, or C. Assuming they select option A, I want to send an email saying: "Hello, since you chose option A, we are sending you the link for option A."How can I make this work?Is it done with Custom Object?Do I need to use the API?

My automated message is a post set as "format - large", "sent as - show the full message". Therefore, the expected behavior is that every user should see this message pop out in full on their screen without having to open it. However, the stats in Intercom shows a 77% open rate. How is that possible? Shouldn't the open rate by 100% since this message is supposed to pop out in full on its own? Thanks for your help!

Do push notification work on a iOS simulator? I have not been able to receive one despite going through at the steps required to setup push notification for  a React Native iOS app. 

Intercom only sends country (example united states) but not city or state (Los Angeles, California information back to salesforce. Is there a reason the integration functions this way? Is this an unfinished intergation?  Intercom What gets pushed to salesforce

Hi, When I preview a tooltip in the edit section, it shows up how I want it. But when I save and close then preview, it shows up large, cutoff and highlighting another area instead of the selected button. First image is how I want it to show up, the way it does in edit preview mode. Second image is how it shows up after saving, closing and previewing.  

We’re seeing a LOT of crashes with iOS SDK as of late and even after upgrading to the latest iOS SDK of 15.1.4Main three for sure are the following areas:IntercomColors.accessibleActionColor.getter IntercomSDK_IntercomNexusSocket resetConnectionTimeout outlined init with copy of (String, Any)Seeing about 100+ of these a week from our users.I can’t attach the logs as the question won’t post if I do. But I have a lot that I can supply.

Previously, User contacts were only created in Intercom when they first logged into our platform. Because of this, we could treat the First Seen field as a reliable indicator of the first time a user actually logged in. Knowing the time between “signed_up_at” (i.e. user provisioning) and “First Seen”(i.e. user login) is very useful. We are making some changes which means we will pre-create users in Intercom via API when their accounts are provisioned. Users created via API have First Seen automatically populated as the time they are created in Intercom. Is there a way to null this field, or otherwise reset/overwrite/etc? I guessed at “first_seen_at” as the field name since it’s not listed in the docs. Anyone else have this issue or solved it a different way?

Hi,We are upgraded to GA4 and the site already captures data in GA4, we would like to set up the tag manager to capture the INTERCOM event like someone “provided email address” on the chat will treat as one conversion and would track that in Google Analytic and also pass to Google Adwords as successful conversion.I go through the articles about setting up tag manager in GA4 and am still a bit confused, I only need to keep track of the event of “provided email address”Does anyone have better instructions on this matter?Thanks,  

I’ve followed the react native android push notification setup (https://developers.intercom.com/installing-intercom/docs/react-native-push-notifications) however I am receiving the following build error when building my app.  android:exported needs to be explicitly specified for element <service#<<my package name>>.MainNotificationService>. Apps targeting Android 12 and higher are required to specify an explicit value for `android:exported` when the corresponding component has an intent filter defined.Has anyone experienced this and what is the fix?

Hi all,I hope you can help.I created a number of outbound email messages to enable us to reuse them across different campaigns.When i made the series, I use the feature ‘Copy existing message’ feature which i then used to add the various rules.I made some changes to the base email messages and wanted those reflected in the series - but i can’t see a way to do that without manually editing the email in the Series rather than a way to sync an update etc.Is there a way to update a series by changing the email copied? Or do i have to update every series manually? Thanks!

Hello there,We’re quite new to Intercom and offer technical support for our users.In some cases, users don’t need any further help and simply don’t reply on conversations anymore. Is there a way besides setting up specific rules or bots to give users the opportunity to close conversations within the messenger / conversation-overview?Thanks in advance!

I’m curious what other users have found most helpful when using FIN’s snippets to house FAQs. Have you been creating one single snippet and add multiple question/answers into the snippet. Or creating separate snippets for each question. I’m wondering which would be best for FIN search times.

HiWe’d like to stop using our staff on intercom chat, and use Fin to resolve as many customer questions as possible, and if not, we’d like our service desk (outside of intercom) to resolve the customer question from then on.Is there a way to automate sending the conversation via email to our service desk if Fin has not resolved the customer’s question?Thanks

We currently offer services to customers via work contracted through vendors, and all comms are in email, where we are the go-between and customers and vendors do not communicate.  How can we implement this workflow skillfully and efficiently in Intercom, where we can see all comms related to a client’s custom project/service, and where vendors are not inside Intercom?

Hello, I noticed that sometimes getUnreadStream return null even have unread message. Is it possible to solve this?

We’re just launching and I’ve been working hard to get user support via tool tips, tours, and checklists. However, despite previously having my work show on the front end, suddenly nothing will appear. I’ve jigged and rejigged all the audience rules, settings, etc. and am at my wits end. Waiting for a live person to support but it has been a lot of hours and I’m getting desperate….literally supposed to be emailing our user testers now. Can anyone think of something I should be checking, or a setting that I should double check? It all works in my previews, but just not live on front. thank you in advance for any help or insight. Very appreciative of any time you have to take.

Hello,Has anyone else noticed that the support replies are taking longer than a business day, or is it just me?I've been trying to deactivate a trial, but I haven't received a response since last week. Additionally, there doesn't seem to be a way to cancel using the platform itself.Could someone provide assistance?Thank you very much,

Intercom is telling us that they dont support a sync using salesforce’s default record ID! How does everyone else work around this severe limitation? I cant imagine changing our business processes and adding a new unique field just to get data synced. Adding a new unique field is not a big thing but we would have to change our sales processes to now update a field upon account creation :( 

Could you provide me with a daily email summary of my support team tickets count and main topics?
