Hello,I would like to know if it is feasible to initialize conversation attributes when using the javascript SDK.I'm working on integrating the Intercom JavaScript SDK into an e-commerce platform. Our goal is to embed the Intercom messenger on the order confirmation page, so customers can inquire about their recent purchase without re-entering their order ID.We have tried to initialize custom parameters usingIntercom(‘update’, {...})However, this seems to only have an effect for People Attributes and not Conversation Attributes. We need to pass the order ID into the conversation context, as our support flow heavily relies on this information. Since a customer may have multiple orders, setting the order ID as a People attribute isn't a viable solution.Are there methods within the Intercom SDK to initialize conversation attributes directly, or a workaround that could suit this use case? We're open to alternative approaches if there's a more effective way to achieve this user experience.

Hi, I'm thinking about becoming an Intercom customer, but first, I need to ensure it meets my specific needs. I'm interested in the ability to trigger the Intercom chat pop-up at the corner of a web page based on custom events determined by the webpage's algorithm. Is this feasible? Essentially, I'd like the Intercom chat to appear whenever my algorithm dictates—this could be in response to a webhook from the server or any other custom logic. Can Intercom support this functionality? Is there some method like openChat() that just opens chat “with no questions”?

It looks like Intercom currently only supports the legacy Firebase Cloud Messaging service which is depreciated and will stop working on 6/20/2024 https://firebase.google.com/docs/cloud-messaging/migrate-v1. When will Intercom be updated to use the Firebase Cloud Messaging HTTP v1 API?

Phones:Hi there, our phone lines have been on for an hour, but we have no calls coming in, they all come in as abandoned. Agents are in the phone channel, and are all experiencing the same issue. The calls are not being assigned to any queue, and the abandoned conversations are ending up in the All queue.When customers call in/during testing we hear “Application error” and then it hangs up, and appear as abandoned, but end up in the unassigned queue.Our workflows look to be performing correctly and nothing has changed that we can detect, and phones worked normally yesterday. 

Whenever we create a zendesk ticket in intercom and click the link to head there, we get this prompt now. It never happened before and it’s an annoyance. Any chance we can bypass this in a setting? Tried adding that to our trusted domains message list but that didn’t work.   

Hello Dear Intercom-Support-Team, as of recently we noticed a strange behavior in our application and it is no longer possible to start a conversation programmatically from our application. The server returns 400 http error on request.We have not changed anything in the intercom settings (I have asked the entire support team) SDK Keys are not expired or so, and have been never changed. Other functions of Intercom Messenger are not affected.Could You please help here, as we use this functionality to provide our customers the possibility to send us Device Logs.Mobile Platforms affected: iOS, Android (both native Apps)Intercom SDK Version: 15.5.0 (also tested with 15.6.2 the same behaviour) POST https://jabaugui-android.mobile-messenger.intercom.com/messenger/mobile/conversationsRequest:{  "body" : "App: lexoffice Android, Version 267 ….",  "from" : {    "id" : "{id here}",    "type" : "user"  },  "app_id" : "{app id here}",  "hmac" : "{hmac string here}",  "user" : {    "email" : "{my em

I saw a question similar to this but for mobile. I am working on in-platform web surveys when a user clicks on something or triggers an event. However, I am not sure if it’s my configuration or access type, but I am unable to see an option to set it up that it happens when a user triggers an in-platform event.Also, I could be going about this set up wrong. Would something like this be in proactive support or set up as a workflow? 

user tagging seems to be frozen / broken in my intercom account in the ‘contacts’ section. It's been stuck populating a tag for 20 minutes, with the loading icon that says 'contacts are being added to tag' when you hover over it. This is happening across different devices / accounts, and seems to be blocking both the creation of new tags, and the archival or deletion of the tag that's stuck. The tag is only trying to populate 199 user accounts, so shouldn't take long at allhas anyone else run into this issue, and how did you overcome it if so?

Hey yall, TIA for the help!I am inheriting a preexisting Workflow and pretty much overall inbox, and a KPI that would help me out a lot is knowing how many users completed a Workflow (aka got their question answered) without any human intervention. Knowing this number or percentage before I make any changes vs. after would allow me to report on whether those changes that I made were effective.Is there an easy-ish way to accomplish this?

Hey everyone, In order to make intercom customer tickets interact with one of our workflows we need to have each ticket with a UUID - I don’t mean the ticket ID that we can check in the URL, I need exactly a 36-digit UUID for this to work. I have created the ticket_id field in every ticket, but now I can’t find a way to populate it automatically when a UUID once the ticket is created. Any idea how to do this?Thanks in advance!PN

I am trying to create a Chat message that will be sent 3 days after some event happened for the first time. I think that I was able to set up such message yesterday using “Add event or rule date” button.However, today the button is grayed out and when I hover over it, it says “Currently you can add only one rule like this”.What does that mean? It this function temporarily disabled globally? Or is there some problem with our account setting or something? When will be this feature available again?I cannot see any ongoing incident on https://www.intercomstatus.com/ . Neither I can see any note in the documentation (https://www.intercom.com/help/en/articles/5420235-send-messages-on-a-recurring-schedule and https://www.intercom.com/help/en/articles/5180516-send-repeatable-messages-based-on-events-you-track-in-intercom) that the feature is available only in some specific cases.

Can I change the default layout of the Help Center? I want to upload my own custom HTML/CSS.

Hi there,I have an automated messaging running in Intercom and give users the option to react with emojis. Now I would like to follow up automatically depending on the emoji they have chosen to find out why the user reacted in this way. How can I do this? I know that this is possible for articles but I didn’t found it for message reactions.Thank you very much in advance and best regardsHolger

Hello,The latest Intercom iOS SDK version (15.0.0) has an integration of the Lottie Animation framework.  This dependency seems integrated statically.  Unfortunately if the host app also integrates Lottie, we now are flooded with following warnings from the System when running the app:  ...objc[69173]: Class _TtC6Lottie14AnimatedButton is implemented in both /Users/username/Library/Developer/CoreSimulator/Devices/BFEE2DFC-C11E-470B-B711-48A3266380E2/data/Containers/Bundle/Application/B04B0D15-DDBA-4889-BE53-1EB98904A186/HOSTAPP.app/Frameworks/Lottie.framework/Lottie (0x1055dc0b0) and /Users/username/Library/Developer/CoreSimulator/Devices/BFEE2DFC-C11E-470B-B711-48A3266380E2/data/Containers/Bundle/Application/B04B0D15-DDBA-4889-BE53-1EB98904A186/HOSTAPP.app/Frameworks/Intercom.framework/Intercom (0x104d407e0). One of the two will be used. Which one is undefined. ...(One of each for each Lottie class)It is too risky for us to go to production with the version 15.0.0 of the Intercom SDK

How can I combine skype with intercom ?

Hi there!I’m looking to only have a helpdesk site. I do not wish to have the chat box on my main site. is this possible? Does Intercom offer a solution, like a forum, where members can suggest and upvote feature suggestions?ThanksAlex

We have a website that is hosted on Wix. Wix is not directly integrated with Intercom. We do have a login function on our app, but we really do not use it frequently, and our customer’s do not either. We have people email and message us, but I am trying to turn those into users through the click of a button. I am mainly trying to do this to merge all of the duplicate conversations into a single person that would constantly contact us without manually typing in the information and creating a user. Has anyone found a way to do this?

Considering existing contacts with several create event calls, how can I clear all events for a specific contact ?I can use API if necessary, but I didn’t find any resources on this subject

I set up a webhook when a conversation is assigned to an admin (conversation.admin.assigned). It works fine and is triggered correctly when the assignment is done manually, but it is not triggered at all when it is done through inbox rules. Is this expected?

I'm trying to create a custom action that calls a webhook with the conversation ID when a new message is received. The action builder says "You can use the selector ({...}) to pass Intercom attribute values in your request body." however there are no "Conversation attributes" that I can select. How can I add the conversation ID to the request payload?

For Help Center there is only Option for Google Analytics Universal. 1 - No option to add Tag Manager. Is there a plugin we’d need?2 - Or can you add GA4 ID in that filed as well? Thanks!    

Hi all!I’ve found two articles in the help center describing the new regional data hosting options – which is great!However, none of the articles mentions how to actually create and account in these other regions. I want to create an account thats hosted in Europe. How to I proceed?
