I would like to use from REST API features such as queries for searching conversations however our API version is 1.0 and so we'd need to upgrade it.  I am wondering whether changing the API version will cause any breaking changes in the intercom app.  FYR this is what I'm talking about: https://developers.intercom.com/intercom-api-reference/v1.0/reference#get-a-single-conversation & https://developers.intercom.com/intercom-api-reference/reference#search-for-conversations As you can see, V2.3 allows queries in searching for conversation where we'll search by the user id  

Is there a way to reply to a conversation via API without notifying the associated user/contact (e.g. sending e-mails)? It looks like Intercom has some logic as replying via API sometimes does and sometimes does not trigger an email.

I just read this article (Install intercom with GTM) but it does not provide instructions on how to get the necessary variables for the Data Attributes to be sent to Intercom. Can anybody help me or point me to how to fill this part. Thanks in advance. 

We start our conversations in a general support team folder. We then occasionally send tickets to other teams for more help. If we run a responsiveness report and filter by the second team that the ticket was forwarded to, will the report only show responsiveness while the ticket was assigned to that team, or will responsiveness while it was in another team folder be included in the report?

How does Intercom track and report on outbound emails that are forwarded from the recipient to another user (say in the same company) who then opens the email and follows the links?

Not sure where this conversation goes this but dropping here for now.  We would like to create campaigns for leads that visit and interact with the site, however, we keep coming across one common issue. We have a lot of users who come back to the site and email support utilizing an email different from the one they used to create their account/ signup with.  We currently only offer 1:1 support for users, not leads, so no chat/ support widget from intercom is featured on the website. A lot of members will send an email to support directly via a different email, and it creates a new lead. We want to be able to send leads through an automated campaign but can't do this confidently while there are a lot of users being labeled as leads when they message in with new emails.  How can we keep this from happening? This is not a matter of wanting to know how to merge leads and users, I want to find a way to keep them from incorrectly being labeled as a lead in the first place. Are there any

Is it possible to make creating a Zendesk ticket before closing the chat?🤔

I am curious if this feature was added, because ii saw some threads where was mentioned that is possible to add this feature in future releases

can i set a list of users who have not read a particular article

Hi, party people. At the moment, I cannot find a way to set up the working station for the agent:inbox customization - setup views, teams, apps, and other stuff in the right panel "Conversation details"push notificationsI can only provide the users of my Intercom workspace with the rights to customize it themselves and provide them with the instructions. This is not the best way to manage the team. I would like to be able to set up everything for the agent (not just provide permissions for teammates as it works now). Is there a way to do that without the need of bothering the teammate?

1st — Is there a way to remove a tour from a series without deleting it? And more so, is there a way to duplicate a tour within a series to be a standalone tour? I am currently having to create a new tour and copy and paste steps from the one I wanted to duplicate and/or move out of a series and its not fun, lol.  2nd — We have a lot of tours currently connected to series that we want to take out and make purely URL page visit based. But since this is a new tour (technically) with the same content, will it send out the tour to a user the first time they see the page after the tours been set to live? Or is it smart enough to know that they viewed that page prior to the tour's existence?  I'm not sure how to proceed since I can't just remove the current tour from the series, and the only way I can see to get it to be standalone is to create a new one, but I don't want to send redundant tours to people that have seen the previous one in the past.  Confusing, I know... but

When a user starts a new chat, we are seeing 2 different behaviors (for both logged in and logged out users):User opens up a new chat and there is a blank chat screen where they can send a message User opens up a new chat & bot sends welcome message and displays buttons with different topics asking the user what they need help with. This includes a "something else" button.  We want #2 to occur for every new chat. What setting can we adjust to make this happen?

I am using the Ruby API and the following code gets an error:" (Custom attribute 'kamil_attribute_console' does not exist)" user_id = 1 intercom_query = intercom.contacts.search('query': {'field': 'external_id', 'operator': '=', 'value': "#{user_id}"}) contact = intercom_query.first contact.custom_attributes = {"kamil_attribute" => "here-iam-update-me"} intercom.contacts.save(contact)  

Hello, I tried writing to support but no luck getting a reply for over a week 😔, so I hope I can get some help here. Our problem is that we don't get the automatically generated names for the Visitors, but instead, all visitors on our site get the id and the name == "User Id". That means that all visitors, no matter who they are, what browser they are using, what country they are from... are treated as the same visitor and they can see all the messages from previous visitors 😬. This is quite blocking us at the moment, so any help at all would be greatly appreciated 🙏 For some more information, the data Intercom returns seems to be correct (user.id), but in Intercom that user gets the id = User Id. I tried deleting the visitor, changing the messanger settings and everything I can think of, but messanger for visitors is still not working and everyone can see everyone elses messages :( 

I made an app that post messages into conversations using the Intercom API, and I want those messages to come from a bot/operator, not from the contact nor the admin. Here is a screenshot of an app that posted such a message, but I cannot find how to achieve this in the API docs… Thanks for your help! 

I made an app that ends-up by posting messages within conversations... It is done with the Intercom API, but when we post a new message it appears into the agent inbox, but not into the Messenger on the visitor side… until the visitor or the agent sends a new message, then all is refreshing. Is there anything to do to make the messenger refresh when a new message comes from the API ?

hello, I have a complicated request that I’m hoping you can help me with — we’re using email automation to invite “leads” to join our app, but are having issues with figuring out how we should configure the exit rules. Ideally, we’d like “leads” who convert in the sequence (i.e. install the app and create their profile) removed from the sequence so they are not sent an additional email telling them to download. However, it appears when someone converts, a duplicate profile is created in Intercom under “users” that are not connected to their “lead” profile. I believe this is because we are using UserID as the connecting attribute between leads and users, so my question is, can we use email instead? I assume that would eliminate our duplicate issue? Next question, if we do that, how should we configure the exit rule to ensure people are removed after signing up for our app? Would we use “Signed Up” less than (more than?) some period of time-related to the length of the email automation?

The error message is odd because Intercom is working just fine for all other functions and did work for Product Tours previously. I consulted this Intercom help article (https://www.intercom.com/help/en/articles/3049411-why-can-t-i-build-a-product-tour). When I tried to match up the Intercom workspace ID as directed, my browser console shows the attached. I consulted our web developer, and he said that the intercom_key mapping is used as Intercom requires in its script. This is a time sensitive issue because using a product tour is critical to us launching the new version of our app. What happened with Product Tours? Anyone else experiencing the issue of the Product Tour editor no longer showing up?

Hi all!So, I have enabled a task bot which ask for contact details when leads starts a new conversation ,and added the 2 minutes delay during office hours... but, what I'm looking for is to disable this bot during office hours! Is this possible?

In my company, sometimes there are a lot of new leads to response and, at the end of the day, there may be a few pending answers. So, what I'm looking for is a way to sum up all leads without teams response, preferably by email, to read it next day.

I am not looking to measure how many conversations are resolved by one team member. I am trying to report how many users reach out multiple times with in a week in order to track whether or not their issues are being resolved the first time they reach out.

Our users have different roles with different companies; the user might be an admin, an employee or a service provider. Is there a way to keep track of users' roles on a company-by-company basis? Right now our initial stab has the role updating on the user. This means when the user signs in with a company they are "admin," we updated the user profile to show they are admin. But when the user switches to another company where they're, say, an employee, then we lose the detail that they're an admin of one company, and now their profile says "employee."

I have my contacts broken down by community but it's listed under projects. How can I update multiple contacts at once to label them under one community? Thank You.
