When the related articles option is enabled in the Help Center, how does Intercom calculate what’s the most relevant? We have a lot of repeating types of documents for different products, we want to make sure it’s only recommending documents for that same product currently being viewed. 

Hi everybody, we are integrating Intercom with two of our custom built applications. In these two applications we have built the standard integration with Intercom. When I sent a banner or chat from Intercom to these applications, they only appear within these applications when I do a refresh. Of course this is not the behaviour that we want: we want our users to directly see the banner/chat in the applications. Both applications a web based cloud native. It seems that the push mechanisme does not work. What are we doing wrong?

As of @intercom/intercom-react-native v8.2.0 the back button after presenting content using Intercom.presentContent(IntercomContent.helpCenterCollectionsWithIds([id]))is broken on Android devices.Screenshot attached. Any help appreciated.  

Hi,We’re trying to create a FIN AI agent for user interaction on our product support. We want to achieve the following - Create a ticket in Intercom and mark it as auto-closed if the person’s issue is resolved already. If the issue is not resolved, ask the person about his/her location and phone/email. After a ticket gets created and our agent is about to close, it should have the ability to pick and choose options for closure, like via phone, via text, via video.

Hello,  I was recently testing the keyboard navigation on my help site and while most things work really well, when viewing a response in the Messenger I can’t seem to navigate into the Sources section. I’m not sure if I’m doing something wrong or if this isn’t currently possible. I would like all my users, including those only using keyboards, to be able to navigate to the bot’s sources. 

My team has run into a roadblock in setting up single sign on for our platform. We use OpenID, and it’s not configurable natively in Intercom. I’ve found some articles stating that some third party partners offer a ‘go between’ workaround for this, but I’d love to hear from the community if anyone has successfully set this up and what the experience was like with the third party they chose.

How can I disable the “That helped / Speak to an agent” suggestion buttons? Also, why Fin showing the article at the end of each answer? Is there a way to stop that without creating a custom answer?

Hi Intercom team,We're encountering a crash in our production app related to the Intercom SDK when processing push notifications. The error occurs in TaskStackBuilder.getPendingIntent() with the following stack trace:  Fatal Exception: java.lang.IllegalStateException: No intents added to TaskStackBuilder; cannot getPendingIntent at androidx.core.app.TaskStackBuilder.getPendingIntent(TaskStackBuilder.java:333) at androidx.core.app.TaskStackBuilder.getPendingIntent(TaskStackBuilder.java:313) at io.intercom.android.sdk.m5.push.ConversationDeepLinkRouterKt.buildBasePendingIntent(ConversationDeepLinkRouter.kt:85) at io.intercom.android.sdk.m5.push.ConversationDeepLinkRouterKt.buildIntentForDeepLinkScreen(ConversationDeepLinkRouter.kt:42) at io.intercom.android.sdk.m5.push.ui.DeepLinkStylePushUIKt.buildDeepLinkNotification(DeepLinkStylePushUI.kt:44) at io.intercom.android.sdk.m5.push.IntercomNotificationHandler$processDeepLinkPushNotification$1.in

Curious if Intercom has a feature (or workaround) that can visually highlight high-LTV customers in the inbox view — maybe the top 10% based on spend or subscription tier? I currently use Stripe for payment processing but the Stripe integration doesn’t seem to have this feature.Basically, I’m trying to make sure support agents can instantly spot who’s worth prioritizing or giving more attention to, especially when ticket volume spikes.Does anyone currently do this, or is there a native feature I might’ve missed?

Hey Community,We have been using FinAI for a while now and it has been great so far.I need this little adjustment but I cant seem to find my way through. I wouldn’t want Fin to say this ‘I have ingested your content, you can give me a spin! Just type any question your customers might have. Don't be shy, I love a good chat!’I cant seem to find how to turn this off.

Hello,We have successfully integrated your Android SDK (version 15.16.0) into our application. However, we are currently seeing a significant number of crashes reported in Firebase. Unfortunately, we haven’t been able to reproduce the issue on our side so far.Could you please help us investigate this further? Let us know if you need any additional information or logs to assist in the debugging process.Thank you in advance for your support.This is the crash:          Fatal Exception: java.lang.NullPointerException:       at androidx.compose.ui.platform.AndroidComposeView.<init>(AndroidComposeView.android.kt:788)       at androidx.compose.ui.platform.Wrapper_androidKt.setContent(Wrapper.android.kt:77)       at androidx.compose.ui.platform.AbstractComposeView.ensureCompositionCreated(ComposeView.android.kt:258)       at androidx.compose.ui.platform.AbstractComposeView.onAttachedToWindow(ComposeView.android.kt:290)       at android.view.View.dispatchAttachedToWindow(View.java:22479) 

I will have data of my customers on my website (e.g. hours played). I want FinBot to answer certain questions differently depending on this data. Is there any way to do this? 

Currently our customer support operations is very manual and we are growing. We’d like to implement AI automation that would both A) help answer customer questions but also B) help take common actions (refunds, issue credit, cancel subscriptions etc) -- initially after human review. We use Stripe and have our own API for our backoffice tools.My questions are: 1) can intercom handle off of this? And 2) If I want to find a consultant or expert to help us implement this, any recommendations?

Hi! I have the “Prevent users from opening multiple conversations” option enabled in Intercom settings, but when calling Intercom.presentMessageComposer(); from my React Native app, it always creates a new conversation instead of navigating to the existing one.Is this the expected behavior, a known issue, or am I missing something in the implementation?What’s the best way to handle this scenario?Thanks!

Hi, our company Medflow IO uses Intercom for customer support and we purchased our phone number directly through your platform. We would like to register our company name (‘MedFlow IO’) as the caller ID so that patients see it when we call them. Could you please help initiate CNAM registration with Twilio?”

Hi, I managed to utilise the API for extracting metadata of all the customer facing articles in the help centre. Is there a way (API or workaround) to export internal facing articles from our knowledge base as well? Thanks in advance.

Hey everyone!I’m curious to hear from other Fin users – what key metric are you focusing on to demonstrate Fin’s success to your organization? Personally, I’ve found that resolution rate isn’t always the best indicator since so many variables can impact it. For example, a customer might receive a perfect answer but still choose to speak to an agent, or Fin could close a conversation automatically due to spam, both of which can skew the resolution rate.I’m leaning toward deflection rate as a more telling metric – measuring the percentage of support handled by Fin versus what’s escalated to humans. But I realize this might be oversimplifying things. Would love to hear what others are tracking and why! 

We have had office hours set up for many years and always worked, which showed us away out of hours. Now its suddenly stopped working and it shows we are available 24/7. Can any advise what might have been changed and how I can fix this

Hi team, just wanted to check if Intercom have any plans to integrate with the 2 following chinese social media apps 1) XiaoHongShu and 2) BiliBili3) Tiktok XiaoHongShu (XHS) is kind of like the chinese version of Instagram

It would be massively beneficial to enable the ability to create a workflow that can update a customer ticket when a linked tracker ticket is updated. I spoke to Karsten about this in chat and was informed he would submit a feature request for this. 

My context:API version: 2.12API call: search and update contact404 Curl request at 2025-03-31 09:50:33 { "headers": { "content-length": "74", "user-agent": "GuzzleHttp/7", "host": "api.intercom.io", "authorization": "********", "accept": "application/json", "content-type": "application/json" }, "body": "{\"query\":{\"field\":\"external_id\",\"operator\":\"=\",\"value\":\"vegastars_78859\"}}", "url": "https://api.intercom.io/contacts/search", "method": "POST"}Here is the response at 2025-03-31 09:50:33:I have double-checked that the value exists in Intercom. However, the weird thing is that when my server calls the API, it returns an error response. Then, when the request is retried by the queue, it succeeds.I want to make sure that are these response such as 404 and 502, 504 coming from your side ?{ "body": "<html><head><title>404 Not Found</title></head><body><center><h1>404 Not Found</h1></center><

We sync the information from our own Help Center (not created in Intercom) with Intercom so that Fin AI can answer our customers’ questions. Currently, Intercom is not syncing nested content. For example, if we have a series of steps (numbered bulleted list) with sub-steps and sometimes notes or additional paragraphs between the steps, only the steps are imported. Example: Text in the red box isn’t brought into Intercom when I resync the website.  

I would like to export the Intercom ID of all users - and the only documentation I can find is to do this via API. I am using Postman for this but I was hoping to find a way to get it as a CSV or something easier to navigate. Can anyone point me in the right direction to get this data?

"How has the integration of AI features in Messenger improved user communication and experience?"

Hi there,Here’s the situation, we’ve rebuild an old application and are almost ready to a launch. We used Intercom on the old application to trigger emails and in-app messages to users, as well has handle support. What is the best way to migrate our Intercom install to the new app? Should we start a new app entirely and export our old data? Or can we just install the Intercom code in the new app, connect it to segment, and build off what we already had?Cheers
