I am using the MCP search_articles here: https://developers.intercom.com/docs/guides/mcp#_-9Currently, help center filtering does not work. I suspect this is because the MCP endpoint uses help_centre_id while the REST API (https://developers.intercom.com/docs/references/rest-api/api.intercom.io/articles/searcharticles) uses help_center_id.This means if I am trying to filter by a specific help center using MCP search_articles this doesn't work and I get articles from all help centers regardless of my filter.I am currently using the REST API as a workaround which does correctly filter by help center.Is it possible that MCP search_articles needs changed to use help_center_id and not help_centre_id?

I believe Fin is great when it answers from connected docs, but it gets a lot better when it can see what happened before the user opened chat. I am looking at three ways to make it more proactive:page/URL targeting in Workflows event-based triggers and real-time session context written into internal notes The real difference seems to be whether Fin only gets a trigger, or whether it also gets the product activity that explains what the user was actually trying to do.Curious how others here are handling this: Are you using URL rules, events, or session notes? What’s been most effective in practice? Any tips for keeping the thread readable while still giving Fin enough context?

There should be a way to separate all back-office tickets from customer-facing conversations in the support queue. Ideally, they would have their own dedicated section in the Intercom dashboard so they don’t appear under the “All” tab, since these are not customer-facing tickets.

We’ve recently added the Linear integration with Intercom. In our day to day use of it we have noticed that there does not seem to be a way for any comments from Linear to come appear as notes in Intercom. I understand MCPs are the recommended way to have comments come through, are there any other options to have comments come through? There are hesitations with connecting through MCPs and I’d like to see if there are other options worth exploring. Thanks in advance for any help/advice. 

Hello! Is it possible to create a custom preview line when composing an email that will show up in customer’s inboxes? I would like to edit this first line of text you see in your inbox next to the subject line to be different from the very first line of the actual email body’s text. 

Hey there is no button to cancel my subscription and no one in the chat is helping me, could you give me a hand?

After starting a conversation or sending/responding in an email thread within intercom, is there a way to see it actually in the “sent” folder within outlook? I feel as though I cannot confirm if all my messages are actually being sent or leaving from my email address. I don’t like not being able to access outgoing messages from within outlook if they're sent from intercom but using the same email address..? Does anyone have any insight on this?

I conducted a site audit of my Help Centre and it returned a lot of redirects and 403s. The 403s I was able to fix. But the redirects and canonicals, I don’t know how to fix.Any help is appreciated. 

At present Fin has a wide gap between confirmed resolved conversations and assumed resolved conversations. Our Help Centre articles are updated, it’s usually regarding more complex or personalised queries. Whilst some of the assumed resolved conversations are resolved, a lot of them are not. Is there a way to add in another follow up from Fin to check the resolution state and thus giving the user more time to respond to these. Moving forward it could be helpful to have inactive conversations to be escalated to a teammate so that the 'Assumed resolution' conversations can be automated within a workflow. From what I’ve been looking into it seems that a workflow on a customer being unresponsive can only start after a teammate reply rather than from a bot reply. When trying to set this up as an Attribute to route assumed resolved conversations to a teammate Fin just seemed to pass conversations along without trying to resolve them first.Any advice here would be appreciated - thank you!

We just signed up for statuspage and would like to keep our statuspage private and only expose it to users in the messenger. It looks like the integration only supports public pages. Does anyone know of a workaround? 

A customer would reach out about a partnership and our Fin would rightly answer and suggest the customer reach out to partnership@, how sometimes the customers would then CC that email in the current conversation and Fin would not stop replying to both the customer AND someone from our company which looks bad. Is there a way to have Fin stop replying to the conversation if a customer CCs someone else? The only path I can think of is an escalation rule that would route to a human whenever someone asks about ta partnership, so Fin won’t even answer. 

Ability to Export Guidance. Manually gathering guidance from 7 workspaces is too time consuming. 

Using Intercom as a wishlist Our team is looking for a way to collect feature requests and feedback from our users. We have used third-party apps in the past, but we want to stray away from them for a number of reasons. My idea is to use Intercom for this. Our users would be able to select an option 'I have a wish/feature request' and build a workflow around that. My question to the community is: does anyone have experience with this?  I am looking for tips, best practices and advice. The most important key points are:Convenience Users should easily drop their ideas with our team Overview Ideas/feedback/requests need to be grouped and segmented Automated Minimal teammate interference. Fin and automations should do all the work Public roadmap and public ideas are not what we're after.Open to your suggestions 😄

I am using a translation tool to write this text.I would like a feature that sorts the Help Center articles in ascending order, from top to bottom, by publication date.The chatbot gave the following response:Currently, there are no plans to implement a feature that automatically displays collections in order of publication date within the Help Center.Currently, the only way to sort items within a collection is by manually rearranging them using drag and drop; automatic sorting (e.g., by publication date) is not possible.

Hi Intercom Support Team, We’re intermittently seeing issues with the Companies Scroll API (/companies/scroll) in production. Our integration fetches over 100,000 company records, and while it often works, it occasionally fails with scroll_exists ("scroll already exists"). We have verified that no concurrent jobs are running on our side when this happens. We also implemented retries with long delays (up to 5 minutes), but the same error can still persist. Based on your docs, we expected scroll sessions to expire after 1 minute of inactivity, but in these cases that does not appear to happen. Because this is intermittent, it can be difficult to reproduce consistently, but it is recurring enough to impact our pipeline. Could you please investigate and advise on possible causes or recommended handling?Best RegardsUsama

I have converted my Conversation attributes for issue types to Fin attributes using the UI workflow. I have an “Other” attribute set with the exact wording that Intercom fin suggested in case it couldn’t detect any of the others from my descriptions. I have them enabled for all audiences. I have a very simple workflow that starts with a user typing and branches to Fin answering. The audience is ‘custom → logged in users’. → What brings you here today? Let customer type → Let Fin handle → If escalated show reply time. When I send fin a message it finds the correct articles and guidance, but there’s no indication it’s detecting any of my attributes as the conversation log does not show the event and the attribute is not set on the conversation details panel. I turned on Urgency attributes to see if it would detect those as a test and it is not detecting them until the ticket is closed, which I think defeats the purpose. But at least I can see a log of when it detects it and it’s setting

Hi everyone,I’ve been working on integrating the Intercom Messenger into a custom web application, and I’ve run into a specific technical hurdle that I’m hoping the community can help with.I am currently using a delta vietnam setup to execute some background scripts and handle task automation within the site's environment. While everything works perfectly on the desktop version, I’ve noticed that when this executor is active in a mobile web view, the Intercom Messenger launcher fails to initialize. It seems like there might be a conflict between how the script executor manages the DOM and the window.Intercom boot sequence.I’m seeing a couple of related issues as well:I'm not sure if the asynchronous loading of the script executor is competing for resources with the Intercom snippet, or if it's potentially masking the user identity variables needed for a successful boot. Has anyone else used a delta vietnam community workflow or a similar third-party script manager alongside the Interco

I noticed what looks like a type inconsistency between two related schemas in the REST API.On the Admin object (/admins/admin), the id field is defined as a string — and the example values in the docs reflect this (e.g. "493881", "1295").However, on the Contact object, the owner_id field — which the docs describe as "the id of an admin that has been assigned account ownership of the contact" — is defined as an integer.These two fields represent the same value (an admin's ID), but they're typed differently depending on which side of the relationship you're looking at. This creates a few practical problems:Strict-typed languages choke on this. If I model Admin.id as a string and Contact.owner_id as an integer (matching the docs), I can't do a straightforward equality check without casting one or the other. Search filter confusion. When using the Search Contacts endpoint and filtering by owner_id, should I be passing a string or an integer? The field type says integer, but the actual admi

I am creating mobile app using React Native (Expo) and I would love to utilize intercom there. I am following all instructions and example repos and in the end I end up with an error..Wherever I put the import and I do anything with Intercom object I have: ERROR  [RangeError: Maximum call stack size exceeded (native stack depth)] > 13 | import Intercom from '@intercom/intercom-react-native';     | ^I have my app.json configured...["@intercom/intercom-react-native",{"useManualInit": true}]…I follow all the debugging steps and in the end there is above error. If I import the Intercom object from @intercom/intercom-react-native dependency nothing happens until I do anything with it (console.log it or execute Intercom.initialize(...))I am using expo 54.0.22 with react-native 0.81.5Does anyone have an Idea what is going on?

Notice that I'm unable to resize this image by entering the new dimensions until I've first selected one of the resize arrows from the toolbar, at which point I'm able to type in the values directly.  

Is it possible to resize images in the knowledge base articles?

Hello,We’re experiencing an issue when using showNewMessage with a pre-populated message.After the page and the Intercom widget are initialized, we call showNewMessage. However, if the chat widget has been opened and then closed beforehand, the chat opens without the pre-populated message. In contrast, if the widget has not been opened prior to calling showNewMessage, the message is correctly pre-filled and everything works as expected. Could you please help investigate whether this is a known issue and if there is a recommended workaround or planned fix? Thank you for your support!

We utilise auto translate in workflows, and on welcome, we share a message and offer the visitor options to select based on why they contact us, these selections in turn determine the path of the flow that is followed.  The issue is, The welcome message itself is sent in the detected language (browser or location, however this is being picked up), but, the choices (buttons) are displayed in the workspace default language, which is English. This means that we are contacted from say a Spanish or German customer, we send a localised welcome message, and present the options in English, this makes no sense.  Other than setting up individual workflows per language, is there a way to resolve this, if not, I would suggest that the same logic is followed for button translation and those are sent in the same language as the welcome message at the very least.  From research, the button translation comes once the language attribute is “locked in” by FIN, but that doesn’t seem to make much sense to

It appears that the Apple icon on users’ messages has now been switched to a phone symbol; Android remains the same. Is this a glitch or a permanent change? Just checking, as the Apple symbol was helpful in quickly recognizing the OS of our users. 

Please make this possible.
