Hi, I am curious lets say you have a "seat" who has access to all of intercom's products (E.g., marketing, support, and customer engagement). How would he or she switch between these in the hub?

Hi 👋 We're using the Intercom REST API 1.3 to track leads and their conversion to users. This integration has been in place for a few years. This week I've been extending this integration to add access to the articles, which was only introduced in API v2.1. My problem is that when I tried v2.1, I found that this API version doesn't have a way of converting leads to users. Is that at all possible with v2.1 or above? Ideally I'd like to keep our integration on 1 version if possible, likely the latest version, assuming API versions will eventually be dropped

Do you use an Avatar to post comms to customers via Intercom as a first point of contact? If yes, please can you link your website to me as I'm looking for examples of good practice. For example www.gainsight.com use a robot image for their Avatar who is the first to send you a question when you go on their website

Hi there,Can someone help me understand how to infer "Intercom('update') without getting throttled up to 20 times per 30 minutes"?Is intercom saying that Intercom('update') will start throttled:20 times per 30 minutes per user?20 times per 30 minutes per workspace?20 times per 30 minutes per same user?How to decide if its per user, per same user or per workspace basis?Article Link: https://developers.intercom.com/installing-intercom/docs/intercom-javascript method name: Intercom('update')Thanks in advance.

We want to get different conversation stats when we receive a onAdminAssigned web hook. Since the statistics object is empty in the web hook payload itself, we have to make a REST request to api/conversations/{id} to get a full conversation payload.  We noticed that if we make this call immediately after getting a web hook, the statistics object will still be filled with zeroes. But if we wait for a couple of seconds before making that call, then we can get all the data we need. Could you pls provide an estimation of the delay (average and upper boundary) between a web hook being sent and the data being accessible via RES API? Is it possible to send conversation statistics in the web hook itself?

I must be missing something, but can you NOT search your Inbox by Conversation ID? Surely this functionality exists...

Hey all, I've just got our domain verified on Intercom and set up email forwarding from our support@, hello@ and billing@ email IDs. The emails are landing in the Inbox exactly as they're supposed to; however, I'm unable to figure out a way to reply to an incoming email with the same email ID i.e. if I get an email on support@, how do I reply using support@ — these emails are verified on the dashboard? Best,Sourabh

Hi everyone! I have been trying to figure out a way to design a custom bot based on keywords. Does anyone have advice on this from a customer support perspective not a "Create leads" perspective?? Any suggestions are really appreciated! For example, I'd like the bot to respond to when a customer asks for support, instead of instructing the bot to pop up after the user has been on site for an amount of time.

Someone erased my Macros but the IT person in my company states there are no activity logs showing my Macros were deleted. Can you tell me how is that posible please?

Having a visual pipeline (similar to Hubspot, Pipedrive etc.) in Intercom would be incredibly valuable and would probably remove the need altogether for a separate CRM tool like Hubspot/Pipedrive. I’m quite surprised Intercom hasn’t introduced something like this yet. It shouldn’t be overly complex and would add so much value to Intercom and their customers.

We are using expo notification package for push notification in our project. When we add the intercom react native push notification android code changes that are provided in the documentation we are getting intercom notification but our existing push notification are not coming. Is there any way to use both. Kindly suggest us. Thanks in advance

How can I put a table in the body of my article?

Is it possible to broadcast a message to all online users instead of messages one by one?

I am trying to add the Intercom messenger to my school on Teachable, however, I am unable to retrieve user information from the student and it seems that messages are seen by other users.

We are reducing our support coverage over the upcoming holiday. When customers email us, we want to send an auto-responder via email that tells them we are offline and will be back soon! I know we can set this up on the email provider side, but not sure how that integrates with Intercom or if there is a setting within Intercom. Thanks in advance!! 🙏

Attribution model of utm parameters. Hi, my company runs campaigns on several networks (Facebook, Google Ads and others) and uses the utm fields in Intercom for tracking and reporting purposes. We'd like to know how the attribution model works. Is the attribution model first click, last click, or something else? If I see a contact came from utm_source: Facebook, does it mean they registered after clicking on a Facebook ad? Or was the FB ad the first touchpoint and maybe they registered after clicking on a Google Search ad?Thanks a lot for your help!Best,Carlotta

We use Hubspot as our CRM and have integrated it with our Intercom account. We have automatic content creation enabled and have allowed Intercom to access our Hubspot tracking cookie.  We are noticing in Hubspot that Intercom is logging an event to the contact record – [Contact Name] submitted Intercom Messenger. Intercom Messenger is a form...we didn't create this form and the contact didn't submit a message in the Intercom messenger. In addition, under this we see the message, "no properties added." What does this message mean? The contact was already created in Hubspot because they performed an action on our website. So, it isn't until they login to our application that they are registered in Intercom...is this message just a sync notification that they are now in Intercom?  Any help is appreciated!

Most of our customers leave the chat and reply over email the rest of the lifetime of the conversation. When they reply, intercom doesn't even attempt to strip their really long email signature. Can intercom please fix this?

What is the actual rate limit? In the api it says 1000 per minute but when i make an api call it only returns 500 as max limit. Is there a procedure to ask for more calls? Does webhooks count as calls?

Let's say I have a help center article (Example 1) that includes a link to another help center article (Example 2) If at some point I retire Example 2 to draft status, this means the link to the article in Example 1 would no longer work. Is there an easy way to identify when retiring an article if it has been linked to from other articles? I'm trying to avoid building and maintaining an internal database with all articles that include links to other articles and cross-referencing whenever we retire an article.

If you have more than 7 (like 12 or even 15) posts you want your customers to receive, then how do you do it and not get blocked by the "max 7 branches" rule? I know I can branch out at a step befrore but that still would not ensure a customer would receive the messages in the branches that "the other" prior step leads to. Like Welcome A leads to Posts 1-5 and Welcome be leads to Posts 6-10. However whenever a customer/lead matches any of the rules related to any of the posts I'd want them to receive that Post.Hope I'm making sense 😎

Hi! For example. I've been trying to use query like this:data = { "query": { "field": "topics.topics.id", "operator": "=", "value": topic_id } }but there is a wrong search field. Is there any right search field for searching by topics?

We are using Intercom to engage with our sales force and many of them are repeat users meaning they contact us regularly and sometimes with new issues while another is still open.  So right now using the messenger can be very confusing for them because it is just one wall of text. Is there a way to visualize separate conversation streams in the messenger and log them as separate conversations? More like a classic ticket approach where users can check the status of these individual requests. Thanks!
