We have recently moved from a different ticketing system to Intercom.One of the features we miss the most of the old system is notifications on conversations that are ABOUT TO breach their SLA. This would serve as a reminder for any conversation that was in the queue and give us a chance to respond before it was officially out of compliance.As another submission posted, we bounce between applications all day long and it’s easy to miss a conversation on the verge of breaching SLA.

Is there a way to select multiple collections to have the same article. Instead of having to add the same article one by one to each collection?

Hello everyone!  Had been a little confused while creating articles and collections for my students.  We've got 2 collections like "Methodology helper" and "Assessments", where I want to put the same articles about the process and meaning of assessments. But as I see it, Intercom doesn't allow adding one article to more than one section. And the possible solution of creating two of the same articles just to put them in different collections looks kind of strange to me, as we can't get the right statistics of the use of this material. Does anyone know any ways to fix it? Thank you in advance!

When we link a back-office ticket to an open conversation that we are working on, it does not automatically assign that ticket to the user who created it and is in charge of completion. This often leads to the ticket being left “unassigned” which poses a lot of issues and then manual clean up for our team. It would be ideal for the back-office ticket to auto-assign the user who created it to avoid it becoming unassigned and then us having to clean up the unassigned folder often.

When I create a new conversation to my client via Whatsapp in Intercom (logged in as myself), the default sender always loads as one of my colleagues so I have to change it every time. Is there any way to change the default sender to my own profile? 

Hi,We added the Intercom Android SDK into our app.implementation 'io.intercom.android:intercom-sdk:15.6.3'When clients click these auto-reply conversations, the app crashed: Recently, we received many crash report:Parameter specified as non-null is null: method io.intercom.android.sdk.m5.conversation.states.ConversationHeaderV2.<init>, parameter subtitle Did some nearby updates at the back-end removing the ‘subtitle’ parameter? I tested with all 15.6.* version SDKs and they all have this problem.  Starting from SDK 16, a targetSDK version of 35 is required. Migrating our app to 35 will take a significant amount of time, and app crashes severely affect user experience. It would be a big help if you guys can add back the ‘subtitle’ back to the message or conversation model to keep the app from crashing. Please let me know if you can do this, or there’s other solution. Thank you!  

If not, is it planned to enable that? Are there ways how I could build that kind of template on my own? (Developer background is present). Thank you very much in advance :)

The same way I can switch from Email/Message to Note, I would like the ability to go from a messenger message to sending the customer an email that doesn't go through the messenger and also isn't a separate conversation. This would allow us to send sensitive information via email rather than the messenger as a follow up to a conversation that was started in the messenger. 

I know it could be done on Meta or other CRM platform. And u know the messages are way more attractive if media files added. Or is it just like a paid alternative function on intercom?If yes please let me know how much is it for that. Thank you!!!

Hey community,I’m exploring ways to improve SEO performance by analyzing how customers engage with content and interact across different channels. Understanding their questions, search patterns, and preferences can really help refine keyword targeting and content structure.For anyone working in digital marketing services, these insights often become a game-changer — they make it easier to design content that matches user intent, optimize landing pages, and improve organic visibility.I’d love to hear how others integrate customer analytics or feedback into their SEO planning. What strategies have you found effective for aligning content with real user needs while boosting rankings?

When a client shares more that 1 topic per conversation, it would be useful to split the conversation into different issues to close them 1 by 1. 

Hi there,The latest version of React Native, 0.77.0, migrates the iOS AppDelegate to Swift. Currently the intercom-react-native module only seems to support set up in Objective C, will this be changing soon?Many thanks, Lydia

As a financial advisor and consultant, I am Prakash Hinduja, a proud resident of Geneva, Switzerland (Swiss). Having grown up in India, I developed a strong foundation in international finance that I now use to help clients with their wealth management and global investment strategies. My specialty is helping high-net-worth individuals significantly grow their financial holdings, which is why some have taken to calling me the "Prakash Hinduja net worth booster. I’m using the Stripe integration with Intercom, and I’ve noticed that it sometimes creates duplicate users when customer data is sent over. Has anyone figured out a reliable way to prevent this—or merge duplicates automatically? Would really appreciate any suggestions, best practices, or tools you’ve found helpful. Thanks in advance!RegardsPrakash Hinduja Geneva, Switzerland (Swiss) 

Here are the HTML tags and CSS that intercom’s API supports for Articles - https://developers.intercom.com/docs/guides/help-center/supported-htmlI don’t see callout blocks and collapsible sections which are supported in Intercom’s editor. When I use the API to update my articles (update article endpoint), even if I send the exact CSS that intercom uses for the callout blocks and collapsible sections, it strips them out as those are not on the allowed list. These articles then get published without the callout blocks that were present earlier. How can I preserve callout blocks and collapsible sections? It is a major limitation towards using the API. 

I configured a tooltip to appear on all pages of the platform that are reports - that means, pages ending with “….../reports/”. I’ve already checked all the URL filters, placement, and audiences, and in Intercom’s internal test the icon appears. However, when set live it does not appear for any of our clients on our platform.Can someone help me out with this? Don’t know who to contact from Intercom.

Hello,I work on a platform and they are using intercom for their live support chat. I am using for several months and it worked perfectly. But now for over a week, it keeps loading here:  I’ve talked with them via email and even they’re shocked. They don’t know what’s wrong, neither do I. I’ve cleared cache, relogged in, and changed browser, nothing worked. Can anybody please help me out in this regard? Thanks in advance!

What is the best way to feed FIN AI with Beamer feature requests?  foe example, lead comes in and asks for a feature that is under development.  Unless fin knows about the request, the answer will lead to a conversation.what I am trying to achieve is to streamline the conversation with additional context to increase engagement, conversion and retention.    

Hi everyone,I'm exploring ways to enhance customer support at our shooting range facility. Specifically, I'm interested in integrating shooting range software with Intercom to streamline operations and improve client interactions.Has anyone here implemented such integrations? I'm particularly keen on automating booking confirmations, handling membership inquiries, and providing real-time assistance during range sessions.Any insights or experiences with connecting range management systems to Intercom's suite would be invaluable.Looking forward to your recommendations!

New Team to Intercom…. Team member does not wish to use a Passcode on iOS portable devices (iPhone and iPad)The error message when he attempts to log in using Google is: ‘UNABLE TO SIGN IN TO ACCOUNT Your administrator requires you to set a passcode on this device to access this account, Please set a passcode and try again’ So it appears that somewhere in Admin settings is something that can by pass this - can anyone help please?  

We would need to add Content Security Policy to our application. I saw this article on Intercom Help. There it is stated to use 'unsafe-inline' but I am wondering is there a way not to use it, since we would like avoid that in our policy?

Hey everyone,I’ve been looking into ways to improve user onboarding and updates for a little side project of mine. It’s a desktop launcher bloxstrap and I’m curious if Intercom could be useful in this setup.Couple things I’m wondering:Is it possible to trigger onboarding/help messages inside a desktop app, or is Intercom mainly limited to web and mobile?Would using Intercom’s email campaigns be the better route for sharing updates / new release notes with users?Has anyone here tried hooking Intercom into a custom software download flow?I’m not sure if Intercom is flexible enough for this kind of product, but it seems like it could be a nice way to keep people engaged without building everything from scratch.Appreciate any tips or experiences!

Hi, I'm Ajay Hinduja. I was born in Punjab, India, but now I'm based in Geneva, Switzerland. I'm trying to figure out the best way to prevent an Intercom workflow from triggering more than once in the same conversation. I've heard about using tags and conditions, but I'm curious if anyone has other clever solutions or best practices they've found to work well. For example, have you used a specific trigger type that makes this easier, or maybe a unique combination of rules? Please share your suggestions!RegardsAjay Hinduja Geneva, Switzerland (Swiss) 

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
