Hello, please understand that I have a few big issues on hand here, so I will explain a couple items first, then you can reply, then I am normally prompt to reply back.  I am a small human rescue nonprofit.  My VOIP/fax/SMS provider went totally out of business 2 days ago; not one bit of notice.  Everyone tells me to go with Intercom all the way, but honestly, until today, I had never looked at a portal that has as many options as you.  Which is great, I am not complaining. Is there a kind person, community leader that would help me get these various service on board today, ASAP?  I cannot operate with no forms of communication available to my clients.  HIPAA compliancy is a huge thing and if my total communications package is doomed, then I have 48 hours to bring up an entirely new system - thanks to the many federal communications guidelines that are imposed on nonprofits like me.Let me explain also that I am hearing impaired, so I am allowed to post a public email so people on this

Hi there, as we try to integrate 3CX to Intercom, but the 3CX can perform only GET requests. Can somebody suggest how can this be done. The request that that 3CX can initiate is in https://api.com/search?number=[number], then it can map the response fields and purse the data. Any idea is appreciatedThanks in advance 

Has anyone here has integrated Intercom with Parative?my company is looking into it but before moving forward I wanted to ask here if anyone has used it and if you can share what added values you got out of it? 

Hi there,  Our users can be a part of multiple companies. When using our app, they can switch between company workspaces (much like with Intercom, and many other services).  Every company has an attribute "isTrialing".  I'd like to send a banner to a customer when they are in the company workspace that is currently trialing.  I can create rules to "send banner to user when company is trialing", but this is then sent to the user no matter which company workspace they are in. This banner should only be sent to the user when they are in the workspace of the company that is currently trialing. Would appreciate any advice. Thanks!

Hi there,I am trying to leverage the messages endpoint (https://api.intercom.io/messages and send an email using Intercom, with the template 'plain'. However, it seems like the 'message_type' body parameter is not working, since I send it and it generates an in-app message instead of an email. Here is the body of my request:{ "message_type": "email", "subject": "Hey", "body": "test", "template": "plain", "from": { "type": "user", "id": "63db09ccde07bab99d849eb0" }, "to": { "type": "user", "id": "630e7f6692c1ab99a7ef98af" } }And here is the response I am getting:{ "type": "user_message", "id": "1585218670", "created_at": 1675374629, "subject": "Hey", "body": "test"

I'd like to send a series of emails to users who have never logged in on our product (i.e. to encourage them to log in and look around), what's the easiest and most reliable way of triggering this on SERIES via the entry rules? Thanks in advance!

We have different clinical trials that have their own requirements and we'd like to be able to have each trial have its own user manual. Trial 1 might use modules A, B, and C, while Trial 2 uses module A, B, D, E, and F.Right now we have a generic user manual, so all trials get the same manual. I see that Intercom allows up to 30 help centers - we’re expecting to have more than 100 trials (and thus help centers) shortly. I cannot do this through Intercom's user attributes since the same user (say, a Doctor) could work on both Trial 1 and Trial 2 and would need to see different UM content based on which trial they are working on at the moment.Any suggestions?

I'm using Intercom Android SDK And when I'm using the old version, like 12.5.3 I'm able to displayHelpCenter page with the Messenger launcher button in bottom right But when I upgrade to newer version, not sure which version exactlyex : newest version 15.6.3 I call displayHelpCenter and setLauncherVisibility VISIBLE with the same code The launcher icon cannot show above the Help Center home screen (It seems like displayed below the Help Center activity page) In old version 12.5.3 my old code : Intercom.client().displayHelpCenter()Intercom.client().setLauncherVisibility(Intercom.Visibility.VISIBLE)After upgrade to version 15.6.3 my code : Intercom.client().present(IntercomSpace.HelpCenter)Intercom.client().setLauncherVisibility(Intercom.Visibility.VISIBLE)Is it possible to display launcher icon above the Help Center activity page?

I need to trigger an action within my application when the user either completes the survey or cancels it. Similar to how we currently initiate the survey (Intercom('startSurvey', XXXXX);), I require a comparable mechanism to execute a function upon survey completion or closure.Thank you.

I'm trying to reach intercom support. Their chat widget is only giving Portuguese or Spanish language options

Hi, I am working on the design of the Intercom carrousels for our mobile application, my question is that it would be nice to be able to visualise our carrousel on mobile and iPad in the future before clicking on "Live".

One potential solution to bypass the confirmation prompt when clicking on Zendesk links is to adjust your browser settings. You can try disabling pop-up blockers or configuring. your browser to allow pop-ups from Zendesk specifically. Additionally, you might consider contacting Zendesk support for further assistance or to inquire if there are any settings within your Zendesk account that could help resolve this issue.

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.

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.
