Hi everyone,I”m Darshan Hiranandani, We’re a startup using Intercom for customer support, and we handle about 4K-5K conversations per month. One of our main challenges is effectively tracking and understanding the reasons behind users reaching out to our support team.I’ve looked into conversation tagging, topics, and attributes, but they don’t seem to fully solve the problem, or perhaps I’m just not sure how to best apply them to our business. Should we be using all of these tools together, or is there a better approach? Would integrating another tool or system help us better categorize and analyze these conversations?Ultimately, our goal is to capture user sentiment and clearly communicate this data to our product team to help drive improvements.Has anyone faced something similar or have suggestions on how to approach this? Any advice on how to better track the reasons for support inquiries would be greatly appreciated!Thanks in advance!RegardsDarshan Hiranandani

It is currently not an option to start a with any other steps then writing a message. I wish to use the apply rules button first that then would branch in to diffrent options for buttons depending on the rules.This would streamline the hole process of using the chat.Is there someway to bypass this function in any way or is it a function that can be made? See the pictures attached: 

Sometimes they go dormant and I need to chase, but I'm having to bookmark them in my browser, or put them in a Google Sheet to track them which seems sub-optimal ;)

When creating public articles, you have four components that can help get them discovered:Title Description Body CollectionAI Agent will ingest this content and attempt to provide a best-fit answer based on its knowledge.However, if you want multiple queries to lead to the same article, it seems there isn’t a direct way to accomplish it other than including wording throughout the title, description, and body such that alternative queries may pick up on that language. ExampleSuppose we have an article:Title: How do I add a payment method? Description: Learn how to associate a card with your account.That’s straightforward enough and satisfies a couple ways that queries might go (“add a payment method,” “associate a card with your account”).But, what if I want these other queries to lead to the same article:How can I pay? Where do I go to make sure you can charge me? I received a notice for non-payment. What do I need to do? I’m seeing an error for collecting an invoice balance. How do I

Hello! I’m wanting to know if there is a way to be able to measure and analyze the unique emails or names or users that are being routed to one of the workspaces myself and my team use.

SLA targets are being properly applied to our tickets, but when looking at the SLA timer in the view sorting, and when entering the ticket itself, some tickets are showing the wrong SLA timer.SLA is not showing properly in tickets unless you hover on the SLA metrics in the ticket details.  Right now we’re unable to rely on our SLA targets. This is crucial for our support team to correctly prioritize the work.

I’ve tried explaining this feature request to Intercom support multiple times, and they always seem super confused about it: I want to be able to link into Intercom Inbox in a way that opens a new compose window with an arbitrary email address filled into the recipient list. (Bonus points if we can also pass in subject line.) In other words, what we’ve been able to do for 30+ years with mailto: links, but opening Intercom to do it instead of a regular email client. After quite a few back-and-forths, it ended today with Intercom support telling me that “as a CRM” Intercom doesn’t have the functionality of an email client.Really?All email sent to our company’s support address ends up in Intercom Inbox, where we can read and respond to it, just like an email client. When we want to start a new email conversation with our customers, we go to Intercom Inbox and start the conversation there, manually filling in the To field, just like an email client. (Unless you’re on the mobile app, in whi

Hi, we have this workflow in place: The problem is, when the customer choose to create a ticket but later on realized that this is not what they need and ignore it or not fill it out, the customer will be stuck. The ticket window will not auto close and if they click the arrow back it will just route them back to the home screen of the messenger. There is no option to start a new conversation because we intentionally disable opening new conversation when there is one open. How can we get the conversation to auto close when customer doesn’t fill out the form? FYI, we have this settings in place but it doesn’t seem to work for this scenario.  Appreciate suggestions from anyone.

Hi everyone,I’m Darshan Hiranandani, We have two support teams for different language groups, with separate email addresses for each:france-support@company.com for the French team germany-support@company.com for the German teamCurrently, we’re forwarding emails to Intercom’s default inbound address, which works for the German team’s inbox. However, I’d like to set up a system where:Emails to france-support@company.com go to the French Support Team inbox in Intercom. Emails to germany-support@company.com go to the German Support Team inbox in Intercom.Does anyone have suggestions or know if this is possible?

We are using PHP api client to add contacts to intercom. Occasionally then requests fail with 404 not found error which is weird since we are creating a new contact.$contact = $intercom->contacts->create($data);Http\Client\Common\Exception\ClientErrorException: Not FoundWe are adding and updating contacts all the time. In the last week we have had ~10 of these so the actual number of failed calls in relatively low but still were annoying.Any ideas what is causing this or how to fix this?

Hello,I hope you're doing well.I’m currently trying to set up a customer satisfaction workflow to collect reviews across different platforms, but I’ve run into an issue.Since we typically close conversations once we provide an appropriate answer, I configured the workflow with “Conversation rating requested is false.”To avoid members receiving a “rate the conversation” prompt every time they send us a message, I added branches with conditions for “Last heard from more than/less than.” However, after making this adjustment, I’m no longer prompted to rate the conversation during testing. To test, I’ve set it up with a low threshold (1 day).I’ve attached the workflow for your reference. If you have any insights as to why it’s not working as expected, I would greatly appreciate your guidance.Thank you in advance for your help, and have a great day!

I am using the “Article search” app in my Messenger (on web) and I am not seeing the expected suggested article behaviour described as “Suggested articles will respect your article's targeting criteria”.I have the Intercom Messenger active on 2 domains, “a.example.com” and “b.example.com”. The articles relevant to each domain are organised into collections. I have created an audience for each domain, targeting “Leads, Users and Visitors” with a “Current Page URL” of “contains {domain}”. For example, for “a.example.com” I have an audience configured to “Current Page URL contains a.example.com”. Within each article, under “Fin”, I have selected “Audience” and then chosen the appropriate audience (either a.example.com or b.example.com).The expected result is that when I visit “a.example.com” and open the Intercom Messenger, the suggested articles will be the articles which are assigned to the “a.example.com” audience. Likewise, when I visit “b.example.com” and open the Intercom Messenger,
