Using the existing Intercom integration with Jira, I find it to be lacking in functionality.For example, a support agent reports on an issue and the agent raises a customer ticket or a tracker ticket. This action triggers an automation process that creates a bug in Jira.The important link between any support platform and Jira, is the AffectsVersion and fixVersion.I need the support agent to report in Intercom on the Affected Version, which should map to the Affects Version field in Jira.In return, once the development team assigns a fix version to the bug, I require the fixVersion field in Jira to map to a Fix Version field in the Customer or Tracker ticket.Such field doesn’t exist, so I have to create it… but I see no way to map the fixVersion Jira field to any field in Intercom tickets.Appreciate any insights on this matter - or how any of you communicate the Affects Version and Fix Version between your development work to support tickets? 

On the intercom landing page, we have some pinned articles. If you open the pinned article, and try to tap the "X" button, it will not close the article. However, swiping down will still allow you to close that article. This behavior only occurs on iOS - it does not occur on Android.Some notes:If you go from the landing page and select the "Help" to go to the collection of articles (rather than the pinned article on the landing page), then those articles CAN be closed via the "X" button. This behavior occurred on the latest react native SDK version, 19.1.2 We checked and found we had to regress to 19.0.3 to resolve the problem - however we cannot use this older version, otherwise we will lose the iOS 26 changes.

Hi Community, I’m successfully sending WhatsApp template through Series, but no conversation is being created in Outbound. Can you assist if I’m doing anything wrong?

We would need to add Content Security Policy to our application. I saw this article on Intercom Help. There it is stated to use 'unsafe-inline' but I am wondering is there a way not to use it, since we would like avoid that in our policy?

Hi, im trying to send a message when a client does not answer to a bot. I´m sending a few options in buttons when the conversation starts, and I would like for the bot to identify if the customer hasn´t responded in 30 minutes and send them a “Are you still there?” message, then wait other 30 minutes and close the conversation if there still hasn´t been answered. Is something like this possible? Fin tells me you can´t send automatic messages if the client hasn´t responded to a conversation with the bot.

Hi,I am trying to use Custom Objects to show the orders of a users that message us, either through email or whatsapp. I created the custom object Order with the relevant attributes. I then created an external reference in People and Conversations, referencing Order via a one to many relationship. Then I created a webhook that triggers when a conversation is created or a reply is given. The webhook calls a service that posts to /custom_object_instances/OrderWe post an external_id and custom_attributes according to https://developers.intercom.com/docs/references/rest-api/api.intercom.io/custom-object-instances/createcustomobjectinstances -d '{ "external_id": "123", "external_created_at": 1392036272, "external_updated_at": 1392036272, "custom_attributes": { "order_number": "ORDER-12345", "total_amount": 99.99 }Now the documentation does not say anything about how to link the Order to People.Fin says, you need to put a customer property inside custom_attributes, fi

We are new integrating Intercom with our systems. Right now having problems with location object... Where can i get some list of valid (countries, regions, cities) in order to map correcctly?

Hi everyone 👋We’re building a Canvas App Sheet for a live Intercom Messenger integration. Our goal is to let logged-in users view and update profile data — specifically values like First Name, Last Name, Primary Chapter, and SpotMe_Id — all of which are being passed into Intercom via a custom embed snippet.✅ These custom attributes show correctly on the user profile inside Intercom.🚫 But when the Canvas App loads via /sheet, the contact.custom_attributes payload does not include these fields (we checked with full logging of req.body). We tried accessing them via: jsconst contact = req.body.contact || req.body.context?.contact || {}; const attrs = contact.custom_attributes || {}; Even though we can see the correct attributes in Intercom, attrs only contains empty/default values like Member, or Global.We’ve verified: intercomSettings in the embed includes the attributes (they appear in the user profile) We’re using open_mode: "conversation" in our Canvas App button App is launched

We’re looking for a way to mass import our knowledge base articles from Zoho Desk into Intercom. What’s the best way to accomplish this? 

Hello everyone, I encountered a strange issue while testing user flows for a mobile video editor, similar to the capcut apk tools I've been using. sometimes it takes a long time for the Intercom widget to appear when the app loads larger media files, or it appears after everything else has finished loading.Has anyone else observed that Intercom behaves strangely when handling large files or a lot of ui changes? Is there a better way to queue events to ensure smooth operation, or do you think this is just a performance hiccup? I'd be interested in learning how others have dealt with it.

Issues:Once you add a content to a missing one and create either a snippet or article from it- you can never go back or see an audit trail of what you have actually done.    There is no list anywhere where you can see which content gaps you have actually optimized. We would like to store them somewhere which them might be helpful for configuting another area   Once you add the content and hit save, it opens the next suggestion instead of taking you back to the Optimize page, this is quite confusing and unrelated from what you were doing.    No export buttons anywhere   There is a table where they give percentages of conversations, but you can not click open any of these to see where they are stemming from- again, also no export option located.   ​​​​​​​ 

We’re Intercom customers and we need to build a variation of the checklist on our own page, not inside the Messenger widget. I assumed the most obvious solution would be to consume an API that returns these checklists, similar to how it works with articles. Do we have anything like that? I couldn’t find it in the documentation.This is very important for us!

Hey Community,we have issues setting up Intercom AI so it solves different Topic automatically. Can you help us?For some reason FIN suddenly and randomly answers with wrong answers.We tried everything (with and without guidance,...) All the Content stayed the same and in the past FIN was super helpful. We are looking for an expert to help us automate different Topics in our Customer Support.Thank you in advance!

I want to embed an interactive demo into our Help Articles from another platform.

Hi everyone,I’ve been trying to resolve an issue where Fin AI continues to touch or count spam emails as unresolved conversations, even though I’ve created a custom spam workflow that should handle them before Fin ever activates. We also have the Intercom Spam Filter turned on and was advised to not disable it (it only catches upto 4 spam tickets a day, it doesn’t work so well with our spam emails). Here’s what’s happening: I built an “Aggressive Spam Filter” workflow that uses branches with “message contains” and “email domain” rules to automatically close spam emails. Fin is not supposed to be involved, but it still logs actions like language detection or “junk/spam” decisions after my workflow triggers. Fin initially sets the language, my workflow closes the email, Fin reopens the email and reports it as spam. Because Fin touched it, it’s logged as unresolved.  These conversations then appear as unresolved Fin tickets, which is hurting our Fin resolution rate (some days up to 80

Hello!Has anyone run into this error when using the Intercom Expo plugin (@intercom/intercom-react-native@9.1.1) with an app.config.ts setup?PluginError: Package "@intercom/intercom-react-native" does not contain a valid config plugin.Learn more: https://docs.expo.dev/guides/config-plugins/#creating-a-pluginUnexpected token 'typeof'SyntaxError: Unexpected token 'typeof' at compileSourceTextModule (node:internal/modules/esm/utils:344:16) at ModuleLoader.moduleStrategy (node:internal/modules/esm/translators:105:18) at ModuleLoader.#translate (node:internal/modules/esm/loader:534:12)Not sure if this is an issue with the way the plugin is authored or how Expo expects config plugins to behave in a .ts setup.Would appreciate any insight or workarounds others may have found!

Hi, I’m not sure if this has been addressed before, I couldn’t find an existing topic. Is there a way to manually create a user or lead in Intercom without entering an email address? I understand we can use either an Email or User ID for new users, but in this case, our agent needs to start a WhatsApp conversation with a lead who doesn’t have an account with us yet. The lead was referred through another channel and has no prior conversation history, so there’s no record in our Intercom database. Since the customer doesn’t have an email, we’re looking to manually create a lead using only their phone number.!--endfragment>!--startfragment>

Hi Community! We are still newish to Intercom, launching in earnest in April of 2025, and have been slow-rolling it out to our users. We currently have Fin enabled for ~100 of our customers, with plans to double, then triple that number in the upcoming weeks.Overall, Intercom has been great and Fin is performing even better than our initial expectations. That said, the one reoccurring issue we continue to see is users shortcuttong/circumventing Fin--when the chat starts, their first question is “Talk to a person” or “create a case,” and since Fin is frictionless, he will not fight them and defers to the case handover process (we use ServiceCloud). Issue is, since no question or context is present, none of the AI-detection fields fill in, and the case just is sent to a ‘triage’ queue until our reception team can reach out to determine what the users’ question/issue was so they can then place them into the correct Support queue (we do not currently offer live-chat support). We’ve bounced

Hello there!I’m looking for a to conduct quality assurance on the back-office ticket submission process and track the responsible parties for each ticket. Is there a way to generate a report that captures that info? Currently, we have a boolean attribute that we can toggle, however, we can’t filter through it by the person who submitted it. Any help is greatly appreciated! 

Hi Intercom team and community,I’m paginating through a company segment using the /companies endpoint and I’m seeing exact duplicate company records appearing on multiple pages.For example:GET https://api.intercom.io/companies?segment_id=xyz&per_page=60GET https://api.intercom.io/companies?segment_id=xyz&per_page=60&page=2Some of the same company records show up in both the page 1 and page 2 responses. Items are not updated between paginated queries.This makes it difficult to reliably process the full dataset without extra deduplication logic.Is this expected behavior for the Companies API? And is there a recommended way to retrieve a segment’s companies without duplicates across pages?

We have a pretty big gap in FIN’s functionality, I’m wondering if others are having this issue in shops with more than one product (i.e. most shops).FIN is not answering questions about products because it:A) Never asks clients to clarify which product they mean when they say "product"B) Doesn't use the context of the page they are on (which is typically the product they are talking about)Most customers are asking questions like “Does this product XXX?” or “Does this product contain?”They don’t write out the name of the product - as you would expect. But FIN isn’t coping with this, and replies with generic answers.

Fin is connected to my work Instagram business page. A follower recently tagged me in a story (which I received as a DM), and Fin is answering that DM. How do I stop that from happening?

Hi!We are not using Fin anywhere in our product and are not currently interested in implementing it. It’s never been integrated into a workflow and I have never manually turned it on. From our customer’s help chat perspective, they are seeing the following header on the chatbox: It happens when the agent they are speaking to goes idle or if the user clicks on a conversation that was previously closed. Why does this show up? I need to remove this. Our product’s customers have no idea what “Fin” is. I also don’t know what “The team can also help” means.Any help would be so appreciated! Thanks

Hey Connectors! Our Inbox product team are looking for feedback on which bulk actions you'd like to be to do in the Inbox. So, let me know in the comments!

Scribe tutorial videos are very helpful for customers.  We would like to embed in Intercom using iframe.  Is this something product is considering, or may have already implemented?
