Hi Intercom Support Team, We’re intermittently seeing issues with the Companies Scroll API (/companies/scroll) in production. Our integration fetches over 100,000 company records, and while it often works, it occasionally fails with scroll_exists ("scroll already exists"). We have verified that no concurrent jobs are running on our side when this happens. We also implemented retries with long delays (up to 5 minutes), but the same error can still persist. Based on your docs, we expected scroll sessions to expire after 1 minute of inactivity, but in these cases that does not appear to happen. Because this is intermittent, it can be difficult to reproduce consistently, but it is recurring enough to impact our pipeline. Could you please investigate and advise on possible causes or recommended handling?Best RegardsUsama

I have converted my Conversation attributes for issue types to Fin attributes using the UI workflow. I have an “Other” attribute set with the exact wording that Intercom fin suggested in case it couldn’t detect any of the others from my descriptions. I have them enabled for all audiences. I have a very simple workflow that starts with a user typing and branches to Fin answering. The audience is ‘custom → logged in users’. → What brings you here today? Let customer type → Let Fin handle → If escalated show reply time. When I send fin a message it finds the correct articles and guidance, but there’s no indication it’s detecting any of my attributes as the conversation log does not show the event and the attribute is not set on the conversation details panel. I turned on Urgency attributes to see if it would detect those as a test and it is not detecting them until the ticket is closed, which I think defeats the purpose. But at least I can see a log of when it detects it and it’s setting

Hi everyone,I’ve been working on integrating the Intercom Messenger into a custom web application, and I’ve run into a specific technical hurdle that I’m hoping the community can help with.I am currently using a delta vietnam setup to execute some background scripts and handle task automation within the site's environment. While everything works perfectly on the desktop version, I’ve noticed that when this executor is active in a mobile web view, the Intercom Messenger launcher fails to initialize. It seems like there might be a conflict between how the script executor manages the DOM and the window.Intercom boot sequence.I’m seeing a couple of related issues as well:I'm not sure if the asynchronous loading of the script executor is competing for resources with the Intercom snippet, or if it's potentially masking the user identity variables needed for a successful boot. Has anyone else used a delta vietnam community workflow or a similar third-party script manager alongside the Interco

I noticed what looks like a type inconsistency between two related schemas in the REST API.On the Admin object (/admins/admin), the id field is defined as a string — and the example values in the docs reflect this (e.g. "493881", "1295").However, on the Contact object, the owner_id field — which the docs describe as "the id of an admin that has been assigned account ownership of the contact" — is defined as an integer.These two fields represent the same value (an admin's ID), but they're typed differently depending on which side of the relationship you're looking at. This creates a few practical problems:Strict-typed languages choke on this. If I model Admin.id as a string and Contact.owner_id as an integer (matching the docs), I can't do a straightforward equality check without casting one or the other. Search filter confusion. When using the Search Contacts endpoint and filtering by owner_id, should I be passing a string or an integer? The field type says integer, but the actual admi

I am creating mobile app using React Native (Expo) and I would love to utilize intercom there. I am following all instructions and example repos and in the end I end up with an error..Wherever I put the import and I do anything with Intercom object I have: ERROR  [RangeError: Maximum call stack size exceeded (native stack depth)] > 13 | import Intercom from '@intercom/intercom-react-native';     | ^I have my app.json configured...["@intercom/intercom-react-native",{"useManualInit": true}]…I follow all the debugging steps and in the end there is above error. If I import the Intercom object from @intercom/intercom-react-native dependency nothing happens until I do anything with it (console.log it or execute Intercom.initialize(...))I am using expo 54.0.22 with react-native 0.81.5Does anyone have an Idea what is going on?

Notice that I'm unable to resize this image by entering the new dimensions until I've first selected one of the resize arrows from the toolbar, at which point I'm able to type in the values directly.  

Is it possible to resize images in the knowledge base articles?

Hello,We’re experiencing an issue when using showNewMessage with a pre-populated message.After the page and the Intercom widget are initialized, we call showNewMessage. However, if the chat widget has been opened and then closed beforehand, the chat opens without the pre-populated message. In contrast, if the widget has not been opened prior to calling showNewMessage, the message is correctly pre-filled and everything works as expected. Could you please help investigate whether this is a known issue and if there is a recommended workaround or planned fix? Thank you for your support!

We utilise auto translate in workflows, and on welcome, we share a message and offer the visitor options to select based on why they contact us, these selections in turn determine the path of the flow that is followed.  The issue is, The welcome message itself is sent in the detected language (browser or location, however this is being picked up), but, the choices (buttons) are displayed in the workspace default language, which is English. This means that we are contacted from say a Spanish or German customer, we send a localised welcome message, and present the options in English, this makes no sense.  Other than setting up individual workflows per language, is there a way to resolve this, if not, I would suggest that the same logic is followed for button translation and those are sent in the same language as the welcome message at the very least.  From research, the button translation comes once the language attribute is “locked in” by FIN, but that doesn’t seem to make much sense to

It appears that the Apple icon on users’ messages has now been switched to a phone symbol; Android remains the same. Is this a glitch or a permanent change? Just checking, as the Apple symbol was helpful in quickly recognizing the OS of our users. 

Please make this possible.

The intercom-android Github repo includesSamples on how to use the Intercom Android SDK Changelog JavadocsHowever, the Javadocs seem to be very old (last updated 6 years ago). Is there a way to find the javadocs for a specific version of the SDK?

Hi Intercom Team 👋🇬🇧, ℹ️ Feature Request: ✨ AI-Powered Semantic Prioritization & Smart Sorting 🤯 The Problem: Chronological BottlenecksCurrently, conversation sorting is limited to chronological or rigid SLA-based metrics (e.g., "Last activity" or "Next SLA"). In a high-volume environment with 30-40 open chats, this "dumb" sorting treats a simple "Thank you" with the same urgency as a "System Down" emergency. Agents waste significant mental energy manually triaging lists to find critical issues, leading to burnout and delayed responses for high-value customers. ✍️ The Solution: Semantic AI SortingWe propose adding a ✨ AI Priority sorting option to the conversation management dropdown. This feature would utilize a "Middleware Triage" to analyze the intent and sentiment of every incoming message in real-time. 😇 Dynamic Triage: The AI automatically identifies and bubbles up frustrated users or high-intent leads (e.g., "Payment failed" vs. "Just checking in").✅ Seamless Integratio

We have unique URLs for every page for a user. For example, User A home page URL is: toddleapp.com/platform/32476/unitPlansUser B home page URL is: toddleapp.com/platform/99172/unitPlans Will product tour work here?

I’m trying to setup an onboarding checklist in which multiple steps will launch product tours. I have the first step setup and functioning fine, but the subsequent steps/product tours I cannot seem to configure to launch when/where it is needed. Here’s the issue:Our customer’s URLs are : subdomain.domain.com …..When a customer creates their account and logs in for the first time, they are brought to their homepage. The checklist appears and the first item in the checklist launches a product tour on that page. There’s no dynamic aspect to that URL, so we can simply setup the “Use your tour everywhere” setting to use {subdomain}.domain.comThat tour has them create a case/project in their dashboard, which generates a new page/URL. The issue arises here, because that URL is different every time, for every user, however, the URL itself is not unique to a user, meaning any user in that dashboard (which there are typically multiple) can access that case/project/URL. The URL ends up being some

Hey all,Fin just let me know that data connector fields can’t really be used in a workflow- only through a procedure. I can run the data connector function through a workflow, but then I can’t actually access any of the fields that data connector found to further the conversation. The answer Fin gave me is that this can only be accessed via a procedure.Is this the case? If so, I don’t understand why this functionality would be locked behind Fin procedures- there’s nothing fancy going on with this API call that requires AI.   

I’m using a Custom Action with some Datetime elements.Whenever I have empty element I send the response back to Intercom using something like this:"0000-00-00T00:00:00+04:00",When I test the Custom Action, the “Test response” brings back exactly this Datetime format, and it gives me a 200 OK.Same for “Data transformation” and “Object Mapping”, all OK.However, in production, we are getting several errors. The Intercom Logs of this Custom Action suggest the Mapping is not happening (when the request and response are 200 OK). The only different data I saw between a Log with a mapping and a Log without the mapping was an “empty” Datetime, like the one above. What’s the proper way of sending an Empty Datetime? 

Hi, Presuming this is not possible but it doesn’t hurt to ask! We currently have 2 separate websites set up with the same messenger brand, same workflows etc. However, in the near future, we need to change the messenger brand on site A. Once this is done, it means any conversations started on the Site A messenger will not be visible if the customer clicks on to site B mid-converstion, and vice versa. Does anyone know of any way around this? We want the actual messenger experience to be seamless, it’s just the branding that needs to be different.

We are sending messages using Intercom’s REST API and after completing a task on our platform side, we would like to inform the customer that:“The team will get back to you on this. Our usual reply time is 1 day. You'll get replies here and to email@example.com.” (sent from William’s Admin ID)However, this causes an unintended side-effect with our auto-assignment rules:Because Intercom treats this as a teammate reply, when the auto-assignment occurs (balanced assignment). We auto-assign conversations based on “waiting longest”, so this causes these conversations to be de-prioritised and skipped, and they will only be picked up again if the customer replies.As a workaround, we currently: Do not send a message to the customer, and instead Use the API to unassign the conversation and move it into a manually monitored inbox where it auto-assigned and picked up. This avoids breaking the assignment logic, but it leaves the customer confused because they receive no acknowledgement that we a

I shortened my profile name in Fin.ai to my forename. Here in the community profile still appears my full name. Can’t I change this?

Hi,We are experiencing bugs with the Intercom SDK when using voice-to-text (speech-to-text / dictation) to compose support chat messages in the Intercom Messenger on both iOS and Android.Environment:- @intercom/intercom-react-native v9.8.0 (latest)- React Native 0.79, Expo SDK 53- iOS and Android (tested on multiple devices)- Intercom Messenger presented via setLauncherVisibility / presentIntercom- Old Architecture (New Architecture / TurboModules disabled, RCT_NEW_ARCH_ENABLED=0)Bug 1 — iOS: Sent message text not cleared from input fieldWhen a user composes a message using iOS voice-to-text (dictation) and taps Send, the message is successfully delivered to the conversation.

Hi guys, I recently integrated intercom in our app React Native app running Expo 54. @intercom/intercom-react-native (^9.6.3). I noticed whenever I build on EAS, calling present() or presentMessageComposer() opens two instances of the messenger bottomsheet in our app. Doesn’t happen whenever I try to build locally using prebuild tho. Has anyone encountered this before? 

Right now, the ‘Call missed by …’ detail only shows in the conversation event log (when enabled), but it can’t be used as a reporting dimension.Please add a reporting attribute so we can chart ‘missed by teammate’ and see how many calls each teammate missed in a period (e.g., this day, week etc), instead of it looking like the person who answered missed them.Currently if i use the reporting metric “Team Missed Call Count” then use any of the graphs other than “KPI” it is listing the person who answered the phone call as the person who had missed the calls on its way to that person.

With Intercom Android SDK, we call Intercom.initialize in the Application sub-class.We only login a user when they login to our app. On our login screen, we have a button that should open an intercom help article. We just call Intercom.client().presentContent(myId) when the user clicks this button.Recently, this leads to “Something wen wrong. Try again” message. Logging in and logging out fixes the problem.My question is: Is it required to have a registered user (perhaps an unidentified one) before calling presentContent()?

We have an integration that posts comments to tickets via POST /tickets/{ticket_id}/reply using an admin user. We've noticed that when the ticket is unassigned, Intercom auto-assigns it to our integration's admin. We'd like to undo this by setting assignee_id to "0" via PUT /tickets/{ticket_id}, but this also clears the team_assignee_id -- even though we're not passing team_assignee_id in the request body.Two questions:1. Is there a way to unassign the admin_assignee_id (via assignee_id: "0") without also clearing the team_assignee_id? Our PUT request only includes assignee_id, but the team gets removed as a side effect.2. Is there a way to set team_assignee_id via the API after a ticket has been created? We've tried including it in the PUT /tickets/{ticket_id} request body and get a 200 response, but the team assignment doesn't actually update on the ticket.  We're using API version 2.14. Any guidance would be appreciated.
