Hey all, I've been evaluating Intercom for what I feel like is a long while...my use case is different than many people here most likely...I don't have an app; just want to use Intercom for marketing & support for my website consulting clients.  The biggest thing I haven't figured out to do yet (without writing code...) is when a new lead signs up for my services (which I'm slowly moving to pre-paid packages that they pay for monthly), I have a Zapier zap that changes their user profile from a lead to a user in Intercom.  Does anyone know if that's possible to do with Zapier? I believe it is from the docs I've read, but any guidance would be awesome :)  Thank you all! DInos

what I need to know is their way  can categorize customer question based on it can do the needed matrice and easily follow it and know the necessary detail  don't tell me to use a tag because it's hard and wasting time 😁

2 things: I'm working on getting my team into Intercom, but before we can make the switch, we need to ensure that we can get Intercom conversations back into Salesforce. I know we can "create a task" in Intercom which is perfect, but the subject line in Salesforce for all of them is then "Intercom chat with ..." vs. what the actual subject might be.  We've been researching and trying to figure out the best way to get the "bcc to salesforce" function to work how we need it to and are still coming up short. I know you can add people to the conversation in Intercom, but I need to be able to get the "bcc to Salesforce" to somehow work. And also, it is possible that the email the customer is writing in from does NOT match what we have on file in Salesforce, so I'm not sure how to get those possibly connected to the same account. Any thoughts or insights on either of these is so much appreciated!

Hi - I am writing a custom Bot that needs to gather up conversation attributes that have been set via a custom bot, and send them to our system to trigger an alert. It seems that the conversation_parts where these conversation attributes are being set are coming back in a "comment" conversation part without any body, and without any other structured data. Is there some additional API or trick I need to use to retrieve these conversation attributes? I am assuming it is possible, right? Help!

If we use this API https://developers.intercom.com/intercom-api-reference/reference#list-data-attributes can we able to fetch any of the data attributes and pass that attribute value to a variable and then that variable need to be passed on to Watson. If yes could you please provide some guides/steps to achieve this?

I'm using a mix of Loom & TechSmith Capture for Mac OS. I'd love to try some other options and would appreciate any suggestions to help filter through the noise.  Free versions are great but for a wonderful feature set I'd switch to a paid plan. What is your company's support team using?

Can a user re-enter a path in a series if they match that criteria? I'm trying to send a message if users haven't been seen in over 6 months and I want that to be recurring.

Our company is situated in Germany and has to comply with german data protection law. We are looking for a way to give the client a) notice about data collection through intercom and b) the possibility to opt in/out to that.  How do you deal with that topic? Which solutions maybe come out of the box from intercom?  Thanks for any thoughts on that!

After we built a Firebase Cloud Function that updates our Intercom records with some relevant metadata and connecting those bits using a shared userId I found that we had several long term users which never registered with Intercom even if that's the first thing we do on app boot. Is there a known issue where this might happen?

I am looking to build a Series that triggers a mobile carousel whenever a user presses a button in our app (regardless of whether they have completed the carousel before or not) The flow would look like this: User clicks on partner link in-app (event below recorded) > Open up mobile carousel (an explainer saying who the partner is, benefits, what happens next) > link to third-party partner website  However, all of the rules for Series seem to be based off: Count, first occurred, last occurred and therefore can't initiate this when the button is clicked  Is this an error in recording of my events or is there a solution to trigger series when the button is pressed?  Thanks!

How do I get conversations of a contact? There are methods for getting all conversations and all contacts? Should I loop through all conversations to filter the ones that belong to a given contact?

We're using Intercom's Slack integration to notify our team channel of when a user signs up to our app. Is there a way to send notifications to specific Slack channels depending on certain tags/properties (e.g. IP country)?

I need to looping through a custom attribute that receives an JSON Object. Does intercom use any template language as liquid?

We use the intercom email to manage our Inbox. However, we are wondering how can we send the newsletter, from a specific email address, without changing all the workspace settings? TO manage our inbox, we use the intercom email extension. However, we want to use a specific email for newsletters. We can´t find the option, without changing the settings for all team. Of course, we want this specific email with photo. We are trying to avoid the Promotion tab in gmail. Thanks!!!!

Hi there, Our main Series journey is triggered by the certain amount of days a user is away from a certain date. It's a mixture of emails/chat sending when x amount of days away is hit, as well as this also triggering tags being added which (using Zapier) then triggers an SMS using Twilio. We've had instances of users receiving messages at 12/1am at night. How do I set a rule to make sure a user only receives a message from us between certain hours? I can see you can schedule individual messages, but I can't see how to do this for a Series as a whole.

Hey gang! We're building an Intercom reporting app and would love to build something you'd find valuable. Are there any reports you wish Intercom had? :)

Ho do I create a link which leads to a certain section of a collection? Like this link for example: https://www.intercom.com/help/en/collections/2091449-sending-messages-and-building-smart-campaigns#sending-messages-with-intercom/p> I would like to know how it is possible for me to create a link which leads a customer to a particular section in the collage. Would it be possible to get instructions on how to create such links? Thank you! Note: The Helpcenter isn't published yet so the collections so called ID's is still unknown. By ID's I mean this: https://www.intercom.com/help/en/collections/2091449-sending-messages-and-building-smart-campaigns#sending-messages-with-intercomAnother question, how is that ID defined?

We've noticed that the messenger size of the messenger looks very huge on a 13-inch laptop while it looks alright I a 15-inch one. Is there a way to set the icon and chat window to automatically resize based on screen size? Or what would be the optimum size that can set to make sure it's not too small or large for any screen.

Is there a way to ask customer's feedback on articles, except thumbs up/down? Ideally, if they didn't like it, customers should be able to give feedback if they didn't like the content or the way it was written.

I used the intercom widget to post a bug report over 4 weeks ago and my conversation still says it's "not seen yet". Not a good look Intercom.  So now I'm going to try posting here and hope that somebody here can graciously be of help.  25% of our weekly crashes reported are coming from intercom. And all of it is coming from: [ICMUserIdentity isEqual:]  Currently version of the app in the store has:Intercom SDK - 8.0.0Compiled on XCode 12.1Support iOS 11.0 and higher. The large majority of our users have migrated to iOS 14 - so its not surprising necessarily that 95% of the crashes are from iOS 14 devices. I have no repro steps unfortunately - just the crash logs showing up in Crashlytics and Apple. It is crashing a non-main thread: com.apple.NSURLSession-delegate Here's a full stack trace:Crashed: com.apple.NSURLSession-delegate0 objc_msgSend + 201 -[__NSCFString isEqualToString:] + 2482 -[ICMUserIdentity isEqual:] + 13112363 -[ICMIdentityStore isEqual:] +

Hello, Does anyone know if it's possible to get location-based reports for each teammate? I need to track team productivity based on leads location. Thanks!

Please give me some guide lines in publishing my app. In “submit for a review” page, we are expected to provide a “End- To- End” video, with installation step of the app, how it is possible to show the installation step even before publishing it? How to make my app available to only subscribed users? Is it possible to handle our payments externally? Is it possible to get some one to chat to have more interactive discussion ? (NOTE : I am trying to publish my app through my company profile - imaradevteam@gmail.com)

I had set live a product tour. On Safari, when I click next on the first card of my product tour, it doesn't take me to the next card and the page gets stuck. Is this behavior expected?

Is there a way to do this? For example, I'd like to send an email out to a certain segment of users prompting them to join our beta testing group.  There would be a button in that email that says "Join Beta". When they click that, I'd like that user to be automatically tagged in Intercom so I can create a People segment for them. I feel like there's probably a way to do this, but it isn't obvious to me right now. Any ideas?

Hey all, post a much-needed break thought it would be interesting to see what everyone is planning to do with Intercom this year? For us we are thinking on;More automated engagement during customer activation through messenger/tours/seriesEvent-based engagement through MessengerGrowing Resobot coverage <30% (ideally 50%)Using Resobot in more languagesChatting with customers in more languages
