Hi All,  I have an onboarding series that sends zero messages for users who move through basic onboarding on their own, but sends emails and posts to users who get off track.  We have about 10 people a day enter this flow, and for most of them it's working, but I had a case where it didn't work and I'm trying to figure out why that one case did not work before our busy season starts in august.  The piece of the series I had an issue with is imaged here.  Ignore the blue tags and you can see it's a rule at the top left, which is event based. The event is "Assigns homework" in our application. if the user assigns homework within X time, they pass this rule and move on to the right (off screen), but if not passed after X time, the series funnels them down to the post below.  The post below doesn't have to be seen; either way, they are now in contention for the second row rule, which is identical to the first: Assigns homework. IF they now assign homework wit

Hi there!I have been toying around and can’t find a solution. My customer support center operates Monday-Friday 3am-7pm ET. I want to disable messenger during this time OR, use Fin AI to create a ticket instead of allowing a conversation (ideal).Has anyone done this successfully? Would love any approach that has worked.Thanks in advance for any ideas!  For context on the approach I tried:I created a workflow When customer sends first message (outside of office hours) > Convert to ticket. Instead of this flow initiating, the bot keeps trying to answer my questions when I send my message. I don’t want that - I want the bot to immediate trigger the ticket workflow. 

how can I add a step between to steps in a workflow? 

Has anyone done this and have a reference to use as a starting point? We want to launch messenger from a URL for our field employees so they can have easy access to a mobile app so they can start conversations and file tickets.The current way isLog in to our app (which is not mobile optimized) Find the launcher widget/buble Open Messenger - it opens full screen on mobile which is really niceI’d love to just have a link / bookmark that launches Messenger in a fullscreen mobile

Hello, is it possible today to target multiple Intercom instances under the same application? We currently are forced to have two different instances to handle different types of users, but they all use the same app. Is there any way to decide which Intercom app is targeted for each user?In a more technical note we use React and React Native apps.

I am looking at integrating our intercom account with Facebook so we can run Messenger ads and our sales agents can respond in real time. I am wondering if there is a way to filter the messages so only the Messenger ad messages are sent to intercom?Thanks,Tom

Hi, I am looking for help / insights on the following use case. In our business, when a user confirms a purchase through our website, we automatically create a ticket in Intercom for the after sales process.Every user booking with us, will always have a ticket in intercom.Now, when the user confirms a purchase, we send multiple transactional emails to the user about their purchase status, payments status etc.These transactional email’s content is put together in our monolith and then sent via sendgrid.How can I get a copy of these emails on the intercom ticket?Our sales team uses Pipedrive, which offers a unique email per case that we can CC. This email is then correctly attached to the case.Sending our transactional emails through intercom is not an option as we have no plan to move our complex transactional emails over from Sendgrid. Looking forward to any insights.

Is it possible to hide the reactions section at the bottom of Intercom articles? We’d like to add our own custom section here for our customer to submit feedback if the article was not helpful. Plus, I haven’t found a great solution for redirecting customers who indicate the article was not helpful to the proper location:  

Hello, I am using presentMessageComposer to open intercom with a pre-filled message. I am using it like this:  static async presentMessageComposer(initialMessage?: string) {try {await Intercom.presentMessageComposer(initialMessage);} catch (error) {Logger.error(error);}} Although it opens the intercom the initial message is being ignored for android and iOS.I am on the latest version of react native intercom. Is it a known issue? Thank you 

Does anyone know what is needed on the Salesforce side of the house to ensure the fields are synced to Intercom? I have a new Case Field in Salesforce that I want to map a field in Intercom to, but when I go to the Salesforce integration Settings, the field is not available in the list of fields. Is there something I need to do on the Salesforce side of the operation to ensure it’s visible for Intercom to read?

I’m trying to see what event data is being sent to Intercom from segment (i think there is an issue with it) but I cant find any way to reliably track this. and segment doesnt give me info because Intercom “cant send server side”.

Hey! I configured Intercom using instructions for the Angular Web app. We have requirements to support visitors without logins and users with logins. So I followed your instructions and implemented it like this: // In the AppComponent which is the root component, I added this codeimport {Intercom} from '@intercom/messenger-js-sdk';@Component({ selector: 'my-app', templateUrl: './app.component.html', styleUrls: ['./app.component.scss']})export class AppComponent implements OnInit { ngOnInit(): void { this.initIntercom(); } private initIntercom(): void{ Intercom({app_id: environment.intercomSettings.app_id}); }}// We are calling the boot method when the user successfully logs inboot({ 'app_id': environment.intercomSettings.app_id, 'id': this.userApi.currentUser.id, 'user_id': String(this.userApi.currentUser.id), 'name': this.userApi.currentUser.name, 'email': this.userApi.currentUser.email, 'created_at': Math.floor(new

Hello,I am trying to build a workflow that would automatically close a conversation should the user not reply.Here is the scenario:User contacts us → Workflow triggers if a certain word is contained in the conversation asking the user for more information.The goals we are trying to achieve are:Conversation would automatically closed if the user does not respond within a certain amount of time Should the user respond, the conversation would be assigned to the team ( the workflow triggers would be based on the team so the assignment would be already defined)Would there be any recommendation regarding this ? ( We have tried setting a “customer sends first message” + “ snooze unresponsive conversation based on a conversation tag but it unfortunately does not seem to trigger the snooze unresponsive conversation).Thank you

Save button is greyed out in the authentication section even though I have entered all the values  

permission: android.permission.RECORD_AUDIOI am wondering why the permission for audio recording is required in the new version. Also this new information is not stated in the documentation. I am planing to force the permission remove from the manifest file, but before that want to know if there is any consequence of doing that.Thanks!

Is there a way to update a field in Intercom, in this example via zapier, and append text to the field rather than overwriting the text?I haven’t seen anything in the community or documentation about this so if I have missed it sorry about that!Cheers,Alex

Hello,I have created a survey to send our customers when they send us notice to cancel. We want to gain insight into the the cancellation, and also offer them a deal to stay. The survey is hosted on a landing page within our website. Then the survey has been embedded into an email that we duplicate and send to individual customers when they cancel. The users of our application are synced nightly with Intercom, so their name, email, and unique id is already in intercom. We send the email, and sometimes when they answer we get back their name and email as being the person who answered. Sometimes that is blank, and we just get back nonsense and have no idea who answered the survey. This is important because if they indicated that they wanted to take us up on our offer, or want to talk to us about their pain points, we need to know who to reach out to.I found these two bits of info in the documentation which may explain why we sometimes do not get the name and email of the person who answe
