Why does intercom not allow level hierarchy in tagging conversations?

Hi all!We are trying to find a way to raise an event from an external application into a FIN workflow, in order for it to continue processing.Explanation:We have an action as part of an app, which can used in workflows to trigger our functionality. This action will call an API on our backend, which will in turn trigger a flow to start a client-component via our own websocket. This works as expected.At some point, this client-component (or our backend) are in a position to say that the job is done. We want to send this information into the ongoing conversation/workflow between the user and FIN, so that the workflow automatically continues.It looks like there is no way of doing this, except for the closed beta FIN Tasks (this is what FIN suggested to me when asking it).Is this true? Is there no way to send external messages in to a process to trigger events? Thanks for any help with this :-) -kristof

My company has three products. Each of them have their own knowledge center. Each customer conversation is tagged based on which app the user originated from. Fin doesn’t seem to be able to connect the dots that when a conversation is tagged with Product A, it should use the associated knowledge center. I have provided this instruction via the guidance section of the training system.Do you have suggestions about how I can get FIN to focus it’s answers based on a tag?

In case we have a custom launcher on a web app or site, will this https://developer.chrome.com/en/docs/privacy-sandbox/third-party-cookie-phase-out/ (From January Chrome will stop supporting third-party cookies) affect the proper functioning of the launcher and the utilization of the chat box?Thank you!

Hi all, I saw this post somewhat related to what i’m about to post it’s not the same. Essentially, Chrome is not allowing 3rd party cookies so I was wondering if there’s anything we need to take into account for Intercom as we’re a current Intercom customer.  Intercome’s error:> Chrome is moving towards a new experience that allows users to choose to browse without third-party cookies.

Hi Intercom friends - we have been using Macros with screenshots of our signatures when replying to emails from Intercom (so that we each have our own instead of sharing one for the domain), but what we are seeing is that if a thread begins to form, the images grow bigger and bigger in the thread and start to overtake the whole screen. Also - the article links get all garbled up. Any suggestions for these formatting issues? Yours truly.e the whole page and look super goofy. Any suggestions for this? 

In my workspace, we sometimes have some chats that go the Unassigned bin and we'd like the ability to have Round Robin apply to these chats we send over to another team for action.  Ideally, once it is assigned to the desired team (this team uses Round Robin), that inbox rule will apply to the previously Unassigned chat and assign it to someone who's online at that time. Has anyone ever had any luck in doing this?

Hi Intercom Community,New member from Melbourne, Australia, running a small hospitality business. We’re exploring Intercom Phone for customer calls and inbox logging. Any Australian users, especially in Melbourne, using Intercom Phone? How’s the call connectivity, lag, or voice quality on AU networks? We’ve had major lag / buffering with other VoIP providers, so reliability matters. Thanks for sharing! Keen to connect with local users. Cheers

I have been using the Intercom API to try to recreate the regular metrics in Metabase. I have tried using this resource but haven’t found it to be particularly helpful. For example, if I try this query, the response maps to the New Conversations Metric in the Intercom dashboard instead of the Assigned Conversations metric which is my intention. SELECT  "Inbox Details - Team Assignee"."inbox_name" AS "Inbox Details - Team Assignee__inbox_name",  COUNT(*) AS "count"FROM  "public"."conversations_data" LEFT JOIN "public"."inbox_details" AS "Inbox Details - Team Assignee" ON "public"."conversations_data"."team_assignee_id" = "Inbox Details - Team Assignee"."inbox_id"WHERE  (    (      "Inbox Details - Team Assignee"."inbox_name" = 'VIP Support Inbox'    )       OR (      "Inbox Details - Team Assignee"."inbox_name" = 'Support'    )    OR (      "Inbox Details - Team Assignee"."inbox_name" = 'VIP Escalation Inbox'    )    OR (      "Inbox Details - Team Assignee"."inbox_name" = 'Escalation I

Hi everyone,Is it possible, in Intercom, to have on the Home page for Messenger (both Web and Mobile) to have a link or a button/widget that allows customers to call a specific number?I’ve managed to place a “tel:+1” on a message in a workflow, but I haven’t been able to place a number that’s easily accessible both on web and on mobile SDK. e.g.: Customer opens Messenger and clicks on an element and that straight calls the number reflected there, just for easier access.Also, on Home (Web) by customizing it with Apps the external links one interestingly accepts “mailto:” , but not “tel:”Any help? Or am I asking for features that don’t exist? 

Over the past few months I have been using a custom report to review conversations containing certain keywords using the chart drill-in feature. Usually the full conversation is shown within the reporting tab as that is easier to click through the conversations quickly. However, the past week or so I have had issues with the conversations not being shown and need to use the ‘View in inbox’ button in order to review the conversation. It is usually less than 1,000/month that get pulled into the report. When I try to refresh the report it populates the first few conversations but then goes back to just showing a blank page (shown below). Is there any way to resolve this so that all conversations are able to be viewed using the drill in feature? 

When I make an outbound call, it adds me as a contact in the client profile. Here are the steps:select a contact in intercom start a new conversation click the plus button in the top left corner to select phone call as the type of commsWhen I return to the page showing contacts, I then am added as a contact for the business. Client data is synced from Salesforce. So  typically if I dial out with a number that we don’t have in SF this is where we’re seeing me being added as a contact.

Getting 403 error again and again whenever i am suppose to login in a old account of mine in intercom and if i create a new account then also this 403 error is occured.

Please contact customer support.” this is appear and if i contact to your customer support there is no reply back its my urgent work please look up on this.

I’m following the below document to set up a custom domain for our help centres but am unable to do so given HTTPS (manual setup) appears to not support our domain’s Cloudflare SSL mode (full strict). HTTPS (quick setup) is not available for our existing account1 - Does HTTPS (quick setup) support full strict SSL via Cloudflare?2 - Are we able to have HTTPS (quick setup) enabled for our account retroactively?https://developers.intercom.com/docs/guides/help-center/custom-domainsCheers Russ

Hey there, Anyone have advice on how to track:• Monthly deflection count by AI using an article (ie. user opens chat, gets AI suggestion for article, doesn't open a support ticket).• CSAT for deflected cases (where a human wasn't needed) vs cases that result in a ticket where a human needed to get involved.Any help is appreciated.

Our team will use the Notes function to add details to some conversations. For example, they'll add a link to a Shortcut ticket if they escalated the issue to another team. We would like to quickly identify/surface these notes for quick action when following up.

I’m trying to use a custom HTML template to send an outbound message (it’s an A/B test, not sure that matters) and when I click “Schedule and set live” I get the error message “Attribute json blocks for html blocks contains an invalid message template variable.” I sent 10 Preview messages successfully to various email addresses for testing, and only encounter the error when I try to set the email live. I built the email in Figma with the Emailify plugin. I have exported code before using the same programs and didn’t get this error but obviously this is a different email with different styling. I am clearly not a programmer (I know just enough to be dangerous) and I am comfortable making minor changes in HTML. I have read the help desk article https://www.intercom.com/help/en/articles/245-creating-html-emails and I see the list of supported HTML blocks but am not sure how to search in my code for something *not* allowed. Happy to share the full code with someone who can help.  

Is anyone finding the Conversation Topics report useful, or using it successfully for their reporting?I am finding that the report is lacking in some ways:There are many suggested topics which are not good, and they cannot be deleted The bubbles on the chart require that you have to mouse over some topics to see them, making it hard to screenshot for a reportAny tips would be great! 

My configuration to restrict article to certain customers (audience) is not working. i have setup a custom domain and the security protocol is active "HTTP (quick setup) Active" but when I go to select audience, the plus button is still grayed out. I was also told I need to enable cookie forwarding but am not sure where to do that? We use godaddy to host our website. Any guidance on how to do cookie forwarding?

Is it possible to embed the Help Centre in a webpage on one's website, or embed single articles, or embed a list of a collection, etc?

We are built on bubble. I have been trying to get our outbound messaging to  work for weeks with support not being able to pinpoint the issue. I am trying to set up an outbound message to pop up when user goes to a certain page and is on the page for at least 15 seconds. Any suggestions for rules maybe that I am missing to get this up and running? I have tested it a bunch where user meets all the criteria but the message is not sending to the user.

Will Fin ever have the ability to reply to a customer’s question with a screenshot or potentially a video? It is good at reviewing what we have and describing it but it would be very helpful to share the actual image (especially in a navigation question scenario).

Currently when syncing with Confluence, the only visible sources are those contained within ‘Pages’. Anything that’s in a folder or subfolder is hidden and so cannot be located and used for FIN or CoPilot. Is there a workaround for this that doesn’t mean we have to remove everything from the folders and have 1000 individual pages for our knowledge base? Has anyone found a workaround that isn’t too time consuming?
