Hey friends! 👋I’m trying to set up an automated workflow that follows up when Fin receives a negative CSAT, but I don’t want it to trigger for any conversations handled by my human teammates. Just Fin.Ideally, I’d like to automatically send a follow-up message to the user after they leave a low rating for Fin using native Intercom tools if possible. But I’m also open to creative solutions using external integrations (like Zapier, Make, etc.) if that’s what it takes.The “When a conversation receives a CX Score rating” trigger does not work for this at all, and according to Intercom’s support articles, the “If teammate changes the conversation state” trigger does not apply to Fin closing the conversation. Has anyone set this up successfully, or found a clever workaround? Any advice, best practices, or snippets you can share would be so appreciated! 💖

Hi Intercom CommunityI’m running into a couple of frustrating issues with our WhatsApp channel, and I’m hoping someone here might have experienced the same and found a fix. Fin interrupting teammate conversations: When a conversation is handed over to a teammate, everything starts fine - the teammate replies, but as soon as the customer responds again, Fin jumps back in and interrupts. This keeps happening every time the customer sends another message, resulting in the teammate constantly competing with Fin to manage the conversation. It makes handling more complex queries quite chaotic. Conversations closing prematurely: When a conversation is passed to a human, if the customer replies with something simple like “thank you”, Fin interprets it as a positive resolution and automatically closes the conversation — which means the teammate misses it entirely. For context, our “Let Fin Answer” settings are identical to those on our Chat and Email channels, where these issues don’t occur.I

Hi! I notice that when the state of a Tracker ticket is updated via custom workflow, any linked Customer tickets’ states are not also updated. In the Intercom UI, when a Tracker ticket state is changed, one receives the option to update the state of Customer tickets as well:Is there any way via custom workflows to have the same behavior? 

Whenever I select text from a ticket comment, no matter how I copy (ctrl+c or right click), the entire message gets copied instead of the selected text.Anyone else experience this and have a solution?

I would like to be able to see only “new” messages from clients like a filter “read” and “unread”. Is it possible ? Thank you!

My team and I are working on creating a workflow where users/leads can send us emails that convert to tickets and then once we mark those tickets as Resolved, any replies back from the customer on that email thread create a new ticket. Any thoughts on how to accomplish this?

I’m curious if anyone else who used the intercom as a phone system has experienced this issue, but in my case, when I call the phone number for my Intercom account, the sound on the phone before the call is picked up by the IVR or Workflow is very strange. It’s not a normal ring. I don't see anyone else reporting this issue, so I’m not sure if maybe it would be different after I port my toll-free number or not. Is anyone familiar with what I am referring to? Is there a fix for this? 

There seems to be a bug specifically with Chrome in workflows. I cannot select a path (line arrow) and press delete. It won’t delete. This does work correctly in Firefox.

I would like to exclude specific domains from article view counts. The Articles report shows total views without granular filtering.  I want to separate internal vs external views in the data. The use case is that authors of an article might look at that article many times and I want to exclude them from my article count for the week.  Please advise how to do this.

We are building a substantial knowledge base collection of articles in intercom.  However, many terms are repeated in the article, and when one searches for such a term, only 10 articles are displayed.  How do we get a list of all the articles, even if we need to scroll through several pages?

The Inbox list can be sorted (in ascending or descending order) by some colums but not others (e.g. Company, Ticket Type, Team). I was wondering whether there’s a reasoning behind such discrepancy. Additionally, I’m unable to change the position of the User column, which always sits at the left-most position on the list, despite being of little interest to us, while I can freely reorder any other column.

When a contact replies through the email channel to a closed ticket, there is no webhook received even though the ticket reopens. Is this a feature or a bug?

I need a way to categorize articles across the sections/categories that they’re in in the help centre. Article tags are only visible and usable in the Intercom back end, not by users accessing articles. To help explain what I mean, imagine that you have a help centre that has articles on cooking and food preparation. You might have help center collections like “Preparing ingredients”,  “Cooking with oil” or “Plate Presentation” and within those, you have some articles that are relevant for only meat-based food, for Kosher or Halal food, for vegetarian food, etc., and some that that are applicable to more than one category/all categories. How might you allow your users to search across the help centre for all articles related to vegetarian food, regardless of where in the help center the article is? I don’t think that there’s a built-in feature that will allow this in Intercom, but if anyone has achieved something similar with a work around, I’d love to hear it!

I want to use the REST API to update a contact's language_override, but it seems that it’s not working. Can I update a contact’s language_override using the API: PUT https://api.intercom.io/contacts/:contactId? 

https://developers.intercom.com/docs/references/rest-api/api.intercom.io/contacts/createcontacthttps://developers.intercom.com/docs/references/rest-api/api.intercom.io/contacts/updatecontact I am unable to figure out why this is happening and on the API documentation says it should be able to update the value.

Hi Intercom Community,We are a returning customer (we was using Intercom for many years until end of 2024 with US data hosting) and want to come back but with EU hosting to make it complaint. I’m hoping to get some help moving the process forward as we seem to be stuck.Our goal is simple: we want to pay for and activate the Intercom Advanced plan with EU data residency. Another words: 😅 To make it as easy as possible, here are all the details: Plan: We need 3 seats on the Advanced plan. Hosting: Data residency in the European Union is a mandatory requirement for us. Commitment: We are ready to pay immediately. We understand an annual commitment is required, and that's perfectly fine. We can even pay for 2 years upfront if it helps accelerate the activation. Context: We were long-time Intercom users who churned in late 2024. We've decided to come back and are fully aware of the product and its capabilities (including the limitations of the EU hosting add-ons). Urgency: We are f

Hi everyone,My team and I have been developing our first conversational workflow in Intercom. In this initial phase, we are focusing on a basic workflow to support our customers on digital channels, specifically WhatsApp, without using Fin or more advanced features yet.We designed this workflow with the first step being to request the customer's document ID (CPF here in Brazil). To validate the customer's CPF, we created a data connector that checks against our database using specific customer attributes. (Please refer to Image 2 showing the workflow setup for CPF validation.)We've encountered a couple of issues: Unexpected Messages: Some messages are being displayed to the customer that are not part of our defined workflow. (See Image 2 for an example of these unexpected messages.) Variable Display on Invalid CPF: When the customer's CPF is incorrect or does not exist in our database, the flow returns a message that incorrectly displays a variable to the customer instead of a pre-de

When I try to select the color picker, it doesn’t appear. It was working since a week or two ago. Also, sometimes the column doesn’t adjust properly after I delete one. In this example, it should adjust to be the whole page wide. 

My teammates reported an issue with a Fin response that stemmed from a Guidance prompt that was never enabled. I spent lots of time testing our active prompts before opening the prompt that isn’t enabled. That prompt is where Fin was pulling from; I had to delete the prompt entirely so Fin wouldn’t use it. How can I ensure that draft prompts are not being used in the background? 

When we get new customers, a user profile is created with their email address and phone number included. However, it does not identify the existing profile whenever they finally use the messenger. We have enabled the workflow to search by email address, but it’s creating a new lead profile for each conversation. How can we stop the creation of duplicate profiles going forward?How can we force merge the existing duplicate profiles so their conversation history isn’t lost?

We utilize Fin as the first line of defense in supporting our software. I’d like to explore having Fin handle chats related to known bugs/issues. Right now, a user will message saying “I’m experiencing XYZ issue” and Fin will go through the normal troubleshooting steps. Ultimately these chats often get routed to a human agent who then lets the user know we are aware of the issue and working on a resolution. Users are often annoyed that they had to go through the process of explaining the issue to Fin just to find out we knew there was an issue. Sometimes these issues only impact a small subject of our user base so we don’t want to widely exclaim that there is an issue. Thoughts/Questions:Best way to implement something like this - I’m curious if we can utilize the Content and Sources (beta) section under Guidance? Best way to track these conversations - we track these reports so we can reach back out to the user once the issue is resolved. Ideally, these conversations would be assigned

Hi Intercom Support, I'm building a Slack bot to pull metrics from Intercom. I need to access the Fin AI Resolution Rate and conversation stats that appear in the Reports dashboard. Questions:1. Is there an API endpoint that provides the same metrics shown in Reports (AI resolution rate, conversation counts)?2. How can I identify which conversations were resolved by Fin AI via the API?3. Should I use the Data Export API or Conversations Search API for accurate reporting data? Current Issue:Metrics I calculate from the Conversations API don't match the dashboard. For example, my calculation shows 84% AI resolution but the dashboard shows 62%. (same issue happens with other stats as well) What do you think the best way is to programmatically access these report metrics? Thanks(The goal is to build an AI agent—a Slack bot app that connects with Intercom. When I ask in Slack, it responds correctly with proper reporting and provides AI insights - Reporting SHOULD BE ACCURATE.)

Hi,As part of our integration into intercom - we would like to know when a contact gets blocked so we can start ignoring that contact for tasks like updating user attributes etc when they change on our side.I had a look at the available webhooks, but it wasn’t obvious which (if any) webhooks would fire when a contact was blocked and which field would let us know that they were blocked.Is there any webhook that would assist us with this?
