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. Is there a way to see which users are reaching out to us most frequently and about what to better be able to address why the volume is higher for those users?

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. 

Hi, I'm trying to show intercom surveys and track user events on my website, but the surveys don't show up if I add user_id in my intercomSettings via Javascript API, also I keep getting forbidden requests to track user events, can anyone help? Is there any requirement to use event tracking such as secure mode enabled or added something on intercomSettings?

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? Any help would be appreciated!Thanks in advance!Regards Darshan Hiranandani

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,

Hi guys,I wanted to know if in the UI there’s an option that is “Create By” or something similar in the workflows?For example: I’d like to do the following:Create a workflow for when a new ticket is being created - if that ticket is created by me, assign it to my colleague. If the ticket is created by my colleague, then assign it to me.Anything like that that i can use maybe? Thanks!

Can you make links open in same window within articles, instead of forcing them to open in a new tab? (they all get generated with target=”_blank)

At the moment if I add a link to my posts it opens in a new tab, which opens in a logged out state. This is a pretty poor experience for the customer. Is there a way for the link to open in the same window?
