The messenger bot doesn't have a 'close' arrow on our website. I've looked into messenger settings and this doesn't appear to have the functionality for me to amend. Any recommendations on how to fix this?  

Does anyone have recommendations on how to include an email signature without copying and pasting every time an email is sent out?

How do I upload a list of emails to send an outbound email to on Intercom? These users have signed up to a waiting list and we want to use intercom to let them know our app has launched on Android.

Hello everyone, Currently my website is using wordpress and has installed the intercom plugin, the registered users are synchronized to the intercom and I am worried because the costs are increasing every month. I want to disable user sync when registering and only want to sync with a certain group "Customer" instead of "user" Customer means a customer who has made a purchase on the website. user is a user who just signed up for an account and hasn't purchased anything. Can I do it? Thank you.

Was looking into using mobile carousels and decided to run some tests to get a feel for it. However, during the tests we're unable to get carousels to pop up on Android devices despite being "sent" from Intercom. We have no issues with iOS devices. The carousel is set to show automatically with no specific trigger event. Have also tried testing it by setting it to Android only but no luck there. Anyone run into this issue before or have any other suggestions?

Currently there is only 1 Bot identity that is used across all Task, resolution, operator, custom bots. We have a growing number of use cases where it would be ideal to have an option for multiple identities to select from. We would have 1 identity for tasks like sharing the support wait time, sharing articles, etc. Another bot for inbound sales qualification. And a third for our outbound Custom bot messaging we are sending from our CX team within our Platform.

I want to be able to send links of our Intercom Help Articles by attaching them in the body of an email to an external person. The problem is they have to have access to our platform first before the link will provide them with the article. Isn't there a way to send a help article without granting someone access to our product where our help desk lives? Like straight from intercom itself and not the solution we've linked Intercom to?

Hi there - One of our custom bot options is to be transferred to our sister company. When this option is selected, is there any way to either transfer the chat to another Intercom account or have an automated email sent?

Hello, We are using messages API "https://api.intercom.io/messagesquot; to send emails to intercom users from our website.We are trying to send email with HTML but look like API don't support for HTML version. So We have created custom templates into intercom system.  Right now we are looking for to send emails with custom templates, please let us know how we can send emails with template from API. Thanks

I saw another question here, and the answer was referring to tags, but I would like to update the title field of the conversation via API, the update endpoint doesn't seem to work for that.

If we create a post and users don't read that post they don't get an email am I correct in assuming that? If it is so, we would have to create Series and set up a fallback email?

Hey, is there a chance to get additional columns into the data export? I'd like to get questions/answers exported prior a chat is routed to an agent (chat part handled by operator; questions as header). That would help us to streamline the data. Thank you

To reproduce this bug I used this repository project https://github.com/intercom/example-single-page-app-install which contains bare minimum - react router & intercom. Follow the instructions to set it up in repository description. Steps to reproduce:Open the project on new tab/page (without any navigation history)Click on About and then on Home linksOpen up the intercom and wait till it loads it's contentsGo back in navigation history 2 timesGo forth in navigation history 2 timesIntercom breaks / becomes unresponsive and transparent  There may be more ways of reproducing this bug, but this is the most consistent that I found.

I want to create two different entry rules for a series and ensure that a user can only meet the conditions for one of those rules. That is because I want to A/B test a series start message, and all series begin with entry rules. Here are limitations relevant to what I'm trying to do:1) Split tests can't be used to begin a series2) Only users who meet certain conditions are eligible to receive the B version of the message, so these conditions have to be factored into one of the entry rule blocks3) All Intercom objects (tags, rules, split tests, etc.) between an initial entry rule and the first message sent introduce wait time before the first message is displayed for a user In the form of a question: how can I set some kind of priority to entry rules, such that Intercom first looks at Entry Rule Block 1, and if a user meets those conditions, the user begins the series there, and the user is not checked against Entry Rule Block 2? Or, is there some other way of ensuring that a u

I have a question about WhatsApp.How do you deal with the fact that we can't send active support after 24 hours of conversations with no customer interaction?We stopped, for example, on Friday, with that, with that, we were unable to respond to conversations on Monday    

Since we migrated directly to intercom, there is no phone number attribute, there is a Whatsapp Number attribute on the intercom website but when we use the contact or conversation apis, we are unable to get the Whatsapp Number. How can we get the Whatsapp Number using contact ID ?

Hello!I am trying to create a conversation from a visitor per the doc: https://developers.intercom.com/intercom-api-reference/reference/create-a-conversation I've tried setting `type` to `contact` as indicated. When passing a `user_id` like so: { "from": { "type": "contact", "user_id": "1234567" }, "body": "Hey"} I received the error `Lead Not Found` and the conversation / contact with role lead are not created as expected. How can I create conversations from visitors? Additionally, in an ideal world I would be able to pass a singular user ID (not knowing if this is a visitor or existing Intercom user) and then create a conversation attached to the provided user if they exist, or instead a new user if they did not. Is this at all feasible? Thanks for any help.

Our saas product has dynamic URLs that bring up different results as part of a search. I would like a tour to be dynamic as well.  How can the tour move from page to page? Is it one tour or multiple?

I did a survey and the percentage of respondents to it is not high, I would like to use the link to the survey through "Additional ways to share your survey" to give only users who did not answer the survey to respond to it.

In the API doc: https://developers.intercom.com/intercom-api-reference/reference/conversation-model/p> admin_assignee_id is mentioned as type string, but on api calling it is coming as integer. 

As I understand from here, we need to pass the app install URL.Our developers have written the messenger app install flow, but how can we test it? I didn't see any option to install the application. Although, just because it is a private application, it is automatically available in the messenger. But how can we validate the install and uninstall flow? As I can see here in the install & uninstall section, it doesn't call my install URL specified, but just install it on the workspace. Please help!Thanks in advance.

Hi, I am getting a "user not found" reply from the API however the user ID is correct AND existing.I am wondering what could be wrong as I am using the access token that is referenced in our account... any help

I would love to know how I can add bigger pictures to product tours without the boxes becoming scrolling ones. With any picture + a only few lines of text, the size of messages quickly becomes too 'big' for the message box leading them to become scrolling. I've read the guide below so I understand there are limits to how big a message can be before they become scrolling - but just now I've also seen a tour on another app where the image seems to be quite a bit larger than what's described in the guide. How did they do that? Am I missing something? The guide I've read; https://www.intercom.com/help/en/articles/3095688-best-practices-for-using-intercom-s-product-tours The image size I want to have as well (which seems bigger than described in the guide): 

We want to lean on tags to inform what topics/issues we should address via Help Center articles. We are trying to find a balance between not having so many tags that agents can find overwhelming but having enough that they address issues that are commonly found. What are some strategies that work to get this done?

Is it possible to make it so that those who contact me in chat receive my reply both in chat and in their email inbox? Sometimes the person who writes in chat then logs off and doesn't come back for quite a while and I would like to make sure that my reply is read. Thank you
