One of the biggest issues we have is the lack of automation around conversations that come out of snooze that require a follow-up.  Currently these conversation re-open in an agents queue and we need to manually follow up.  In order to try and mitigate the impact of conversations coming out of snooze during busy times we try to use custom snooze times, but it's not quick and easy to do this for every chat. The default options that Intercom provide don't work for us (tomorrow at 9am is super unhelpful as that's our busiest time). So I have two requests:1) Can we set a default snooze time for our organisation (e.g. 24 or 48 hours)2) Can we set custom snooze times on Macros

The JS API has no documented methods for capturing and handling errors. Is there an undocumented callback that can be used to capture and gracefully handle errors? If not, why not? Both the Android and iOS SDKs have error handling but there is zero documented error handling for the JS API. This makes the API far less useful.All assistance appreciated.

Hello Everyone,I hope someone can help me with this question because I’m feeling a bit stuck.I’m trying to create a tag—sounds simple, right? Well, apparently not for me! 😅 Every time I click on the check mark to save it, I get an error message at the top that says, "The tag could not be saved."I’m sure I must be doing something wrong, but I can’t figure out what. If anyone can point me in the right direction or let me know what I might be missing, I’d really appreciate it.Thanks so much for your time and help! 😊

Hello! I’m starting to use Fin AI to answer more queries. At the moment, it’s only involved in some kinds of conversations and we’ll expand it to other topics gradually.My question is, does Fin process the buttons the user selected when looking for an answer? In my example below, would Fin process that the first message was “Help with my subscription”, and therefore look for the answer in subscription-related knowledge bases? Example of workflow Thank you!

 Today, I spoke with support about changing the font, and they told me it’s not possible. Is that really the case? This new font is quite challenging; when you look at the number 0, it sometimes looks like an 8. It’s causing a lot of issues for users. 

Anybody achieved to transfer Intercom conversations to a Hubspot Company's profile?

Hi guys, do you know where can I see my archive users and can I unarchive them? Thx

Hello! I’m working on integrating Fin AI to our queries handling.When conversations are handled by a teammate, we use a custom attribute “Subject Line” to ‘tag’ the query and report on volumes each week. Subject Lines would look like this:[Account] Login issue, [Account] Change Email Address[Billing] Refund Request[General] Query / Premium, [Feedback] Contentetc etc If I want Fin to handle tickets, how can I get it to tag the conversation based on its content? either via our Subject Line attribute or via tagsAt the moment, we have a workflow where users select what they want to talk about with buttons (“Question about my account”, “Help with my subscription”, “Share feedback”, “Something else”). Subscription queries go through Fin, the rests goes to a teammate. I’d like to open “Something else” to Fin AI too but I’d need to be able to tag the conversations properly to create usable data. What’s the best practices here? What have you found the most helpful?

We need to add a Content Security Policy to our application that adheres to the following requirements:include a 'default-src' directive to act as a fallback for other resource types when their policy definitions are absent set explicit CSP 'script-src' and 'style-src' directives, without the use of wildcard domains not utilize any 'unsafe'- prefixed directives.Reading through this article in Intercom Help, i think point#2 above can be addressed (but please confirm), and also advise if points #1 and #3 can work with Intercom (e.g. can we avoid using the 'unsafe-inline'?)

When updating an article with the API, I am finding that any blank paragraphs in the article are stripped away. This is somewhat annoying, as we often use blank paragraphs as a way to have some padding below text before the next paragraph, heading, or image.More specifically, we may export an article with a blank paragraph that is marked up with ‘\n<p class=\"no-margin\"></p>\n’. If we feed that body directly back into the article to update it, that entire block of HTML is removed. Is there any way to preserve this?The below image shows the blank line added between the first two lines of the article. And here we see that spacing has been stripped away: 

When we test our workflows in the ‘preview’ space in the backend, Intercom creates a new chat which goes into our teams inbox. Someone has to then manually delete these chats. Is there a way to automate this? I have played around with a few options, but the most likely seems to be to create branching that sorts users who are ‘preview user’, by the unique email address, from all other users. This means every user who eg. sends their first message. will go through this flow ‘else’ branch, throwing the reporting for its usage way out.  

Hi!Could you please help grant access to the restaurant? Our bot automatically closes all requests, but we need to allow one restaurant to pass through the bot and enter the chat.Thank you!

Hi everyone,We are working with Intercom and recently added the function to sort incoming chats based on the customer's inquiry. Chats that didn't fit into specific categories were sent to a general folder.However, we are encountering an issue where closing resolved chats in folders seems to cause the chat count to increase rather than decrease. For instance, if there are 20 chats in the "Payments" folder and we close one, instead of the number dropping to 19, it sometimes increases to 22 and then stabilizes at 21.Has anyone experienced something similar or have any suggestions on how to fix this? Your help is greatly appreciated!Thank you!

I am trying to send email messages via the messages API endpoint and its failing.  Perhaps my current authorization  token doesn’t allow the sending of messages, even though I’ve check all of the boxes?  I have found via OpenAI instructions for adding “message” scope to the authorization token.  But OpenAI doesn’t seem to be in line with reality, as I cannot find the Intercom UIs it refers to.  What is the right way to make sure my authorization token includes the messages scope? 

Confirmed this is a problem on ios Safari/Chrome/Firefox and Android. Let me know if anyone as had this problem before. Video attached. I have reached out to Intercom support as well.

Hi there! I’m looking to tidy up the right hand sidebar “Conversation Attributes” - we only really need a couple of these but I’m not able to find where I can remove attributes from this?We don’t need things like External ID, Fin AI Agent, Workflows, Workspace, Copilot etc. We also have a lot of User Data categories we would like to remove from this view, are we able to do this? Thanks so much! 

I’m currently using the Jira for Tickets integration to send Conversation data to a Jira Card using the “Create Jira Issue” action in our workflow… The issue I’m experiencing, I cannot configure the integration to send the entire conversation to the Jira card. Our use case, if a user has a technical issue, I want to be able to create the jira card with the conversation details attached to our dev team has knowledge into the inquiry. It works for the First Message Body and Last Message Body.. But the card misses the entire conversation. Thoughts? API Request Body {"fields": {"project": {"key": "PIDT2023"},"issuetype": {"name": "Support"},"summary": "Conversation ID: Conversation ID","description": {"type": "doc","version": 1,"content": [{"type": "paragraph","content": [{"type": "text","text": "Urgency: Urgency"}]},{"type": "paragraph","content": [{"type": "text","text": "Conversation URL: Conversation URL"}]},{"type": "paragraph","content": [{"type": "text","text": "Message Body: Messag

Since the Intercom iOS SDK began utilizing WebSockets, we have noticed that on occasion, CPU usage jumps to over 100% and there are deadlocks resulting from the Intercom SDK.When this happens, the lock is due to: `[IntercomSDK_IntercomNexusSocket sendWebSocketMessage:]` as seen here: I am now able to reproduce this reliably with the latest release (and previous), 16.4.0, of the Intercom iOS SDK.To reproduce on an app set up with the Intercom iOS SDK (I’m doing this on iOS 17.2.1 but it happens on other versions):Login a user with `Intercom.loginUser(with:)` Logout the user with `Intercom.logout()` Login again using the same call in #1CPU usage will jump up over 100%.  If you pause the debugger at this point, you’ll see a stack trace like the image above.Please let me know if I can send other information about this issue.Best,Adam

When the Create Jira Issue automation is completed the Intercom ticket will not link to the Jira ticket. The Custom Action log shows a successful action and the objects look like they have been correctly mapped. However, the Jira for Tickets inbox app highlights an error saying ‘try again later’. When I try and manually link an existing tick (or the ticket that was created through the Custom Action), the app shows 1 ticket found, but no option to link the tickets. In all app documentation, images of the workflow builder show only one jira_issue_key mapping after completion of the action. But my workflow shows 2 instances of the object mapping. I’m not sure if this is causing the issue, but I don’t see why there would be a reason to map the jira_issue_key twice.    

I currently see a beta version of Intercom Phone running on my platform. When will the call function be fully released?  

We are currently using a different product to house our internal documentation, however, we’d ideally want to keep it all in one place. Our team uses both our internal documentation as well as our client-facing help articles to resolve problems. I’m curious of some best practices on how others are organizing this information within intercom. Any ideas are appreciated! 

Hi everyone! 👋I’m Joanna from Praso’s CX Ops team, and we’re looking for a way to track our team’s productivity more effectively. Ideally, we’d love to have access to a report or even raw database logs from the inbox dashboard that provide a snapshot of each agent’s activity per hour.This would help us calculate our team’s occupancy rate, showing key insights such as:✅ The number of agents active per hour✅ How many conversations each agent was handling✅ How many customers were waiting in the queueWith this data, we could better assess whether our team size is optimal and make informed adjustments to improve efficiency.Has anyone implemented something similar, or does anyone have insights on how to retrieve this kind of data? We’d love to hear your thoughts!Thanks in advance! 😊

Hi! I have a question, along with maybe an idea.We recently signed a new contract and have a ton of new features - yay! When getting things started and identifying what all we have available, I’m running into issues where I want to set up a feature thats visible in the section under Billing > Overview > “Features included in your subscription” to make the most of our available features, but there’s not an easily findable resource in the features section telling me how to set something up. Ideally, I’d LOVE a hyperlink to the article associated with each available feature, detailing how to set each specific feature up.In the meantime though, is there a straightforward way to identify what features we have available and the correlated how-to guides?

I’d like to retrieve changes or additions to the company data from yesterday or last month in batch.Since I have not seen a way of filtering the api query to companies I wonder how to best achieve this. From what I see I have to use the “Scroll over all companies” or “List all companies” API retrieving all Companies and filter the result according my needs.Any other suggestions are very well appreciated, thanks.
