Is there any way to prevent the bot from interfering in a conversation that is already being answered by a teammate?

Hi there!I subscribed on content_stat.post event, but the webhook triggers only when user open the intercom webpage.We are using embbed webComponent in our application and would like to notify user about it before he opened the web page (because he must do it manually), we want to open it programmatically - when new post are created - open this page immediately, but we discovered that webhook triggers only after opening webpage by user. How can i detect that new post are created for user, before he opened page? Ideally via webhook, or at least API?Thanks!

we have created an app, with a webhook directing to our platform, it was working fine, but suddenly somewhere today, the event "conversation.user.created" and "conversation.user.replied" are not sent.

When using Intercom, I have often seen the icons of my teammates who are viewing the live chat conversation with a customer. However, this has since disappeared and I am not sure why. 

I’m building a custom action that will send a POST request to Shortcut to create a Story.  I’ve tested in Postman and it works fine, but when I use the exact same request body in Intercom, I’m getting a message back that I’m missing a parameter (the missing parameter happens to be the only required parameter).  I can recreate this error in Postman by commenting out (or removing) the parameter in question.  Otherwise, it always succeeds in Postman.How does Intercom present the body in these requests?  Does it do it exactly as-is, or does Intercom apply some formatting?  Since it works fine in Postman, I’m kinda thinking that Intercom is changing something.To be more specific, when creating a Story via Shortcut’s API, the only required parameter is “name”.  If my request body in Intercom is this:{"name": "Just a test card from Intercom"}I get this message:400 Bad Request{"message":"The request included invalid or missing parameters.","errors":{"name":"missing-required-key"}} Works fine i

Hi,I’m following this guide to setup push notification and would like to find out more details on what does the Intercom.handlePushMessage() do in the react-native. https://developers.intercom.com/installing-intercom/react-native/push-notifications/ useEffect(() => { /** * Handle PushNotification */ AppState.addEventListener( 'change', (nextAppState) => nextAppState === 'active' && Intercom.handlePushMessage() ); return () => AppState.removeEventListener('change', () => true); } , [])  When tapping the push notification on iOS it opens the message but not on Android. What did I miss? Thanks.

With surveys is there any way to get them to work well on mobile devices when they are large format?Here attached from Intercom is what the survey is suggested to look like on mobile view, which I presume is if you’ve done the work with SDK’s to make the survey push on an app.It looks pretty tidy!Mobile view from Intercom survey previewBelow is an actual image of the same survey in real life on a standard Android phone. It doesn’t look as good, and on even smaller mobile devices some of the survey can’t even be read without scrolling _horizontally_ :| I am guessing it’s because it’s a mobile device accessing a web app and not an actual mobile app. Is this a correct assumption?Secondly, is there any way to get the formatting to scale better on mobile. Something to match what’s shown in Intercom’s preview would be great. Any other suggestions I’d welcome too!  

Hello! Looking for a bit of advice. Our team has a lower inbox volume (around 40 a day) and the inbox is usually 60% email and 40% chat. At the moment, any messages that come in we close after our response and only snooze conversations that need a follow up at a later time. This has helped us keep a clean inbox that is easy to see what conversations need to be attended to. However, this causes some problems when we want to track CSAT and time to close, so we are looking to change how we are working in Intercom. I know there are automations you can set up that will automatically respond to chats if they customer has not followed ups but I am more concerned that we will have tons of emails re-opening that will create more work for us manually to follow up with customers since emails are our main channel for conversations. As well, if I do set an auto-reply when a conversation re-opens - what is there are conversations that shouldn’t get that auto-reply. Do you tag them a specific way? Cu

Occasionally when editing existing content we will merge two articles, deleting the first old article and merging its content with the second article (thus the first URL becomes invalid/is deleted). The problem is, we sometimes link to the articles from other sources, and customers following the old URL find a dead page. Is there any way to create a redirect so we can consciously tell Intercom to send customers to the new URL?

Hi,I just wanted to know how other users get written feedback for their articles.In the past we did have the option enabled where clicking 😞 started a chat. However we had to disable this because it acted as a backdoor for some to come straight through to support, skipping custom bots, and allowing users to start a chat that we wouldn’t want to be able to start a chat.It was also an issue because our articles are not maintained by the same people who answer our chat queries. Ideally it would be great if users clicking a reaction on the article were then provided a comment box. Whatever they submit would then appear as a section in the editor view, and you could then scroll through all written feedback, and also see who had left it (like you can when you view who reacted to an article).   However this is just what I’d like to happen. I would be curious to know how others try to get written feedback for their guides so they can improve them, rather than just having to guess based on rea

Hi! I’m wondering how I would set a goal up to capture total signs ups after sending an email. 

As we can track and analyze clicked links in Posts and Mails, can we do that in articles too?If we can’t, is there any way using other third-party tools?

When I am creating a post I will use a URL, but we are offering an additional benefit to our existing customers - as this is something that we want our team to get on quickly is it possible to receive notifications through email which tells us who it was that clicked the link in real-time?

Hi everyone,I have a WordPress website and have recently added intercom. The website itself doesn't have a function (or market need) to log users in, but I'd still like to remember and prefill their details across the website once they've entered their details once before (in the chat app, or website forms).For example​, I have a quote form and if Intercom has the name and email stored I would like it to be pre-populated into the form (and vice versa).My question is, how can I achieve this? Intercom doesn't appear to have a JS method to get the current user details.Thanks in advance!Sam.​

Hello,We are switching workspaces in Intercom and we want to keep all the conversation data from the old space.The data has been pulled from the API in JSON format.How can we use this data so it is kept in a way that is organised and searchable by keywords?Does anyone have experience with this process?All the help and guidance will be highly appreciated. Thanks. 

Hi, a a product tour I built is only showing after page refresh. I added a “wait 3 seconds” rule to see if there needs to be a delay but that didn’t help. I’ve seen in another question that selecting an element “by text” may be a better option but I’m not seeing that option anywhere. 

We are sending user data from Segment to Intercom, we did all the mapping according to the documentations and did not exceed limitations but still some of the event properties we receive with the event is not visible on the user profile. e.g We are sending “order_completed” event and can see “invoice_url” in the custom properties list but not seeing it on the user profile.

Hi all - I have noticed that if I set a post live whilst I am already logged in (and have my account in the targeted tag) I will sometimes not receive the post until I log out. In my industry that is a big regulatory issue, so I was wondering how I prevented any user from being able to see the post when logged out?

Hi, i use Webhook from Intercom, i want to notify user that conversation created or some participant in the conversation (admin for instance) are replied. but the webhook payload “admin.replied” or “user.replied” does not contain email of the participants, there only admin email, how can i retrieve email of receiver user?For example: Admin replied to Uncle Bob in private conversation (Uncle bob email is: uncle@bob) but how to get Bob’s email without direct interaction with API, using only webhook?Thanks!

Is there a way to grant access to a third party vendor to analyze all our transcripts? I can see how they can be download easily from a team member but is there a way to grants access to a separate party to go in and download or analyze all transcripts from the last two years?  

Hello there,I’m trying to replicate what I was able to do with our previous email and automation provider.I used to be able to pre-populate our JotForms with data from ActiveCampaign by linking the form field data with the attributes via a URL. This meant that when a contact would open the email and click the link, the form would automatically populate with their unique data, and so we’d be able to attribute submissions to users without having to rely on them adding the exact email address they use to sign up to our service.I’ve tried using the same logic for Intercom in the URL below, but so far I’ve not been successful. Please say I’m missing something obvious! This is the URL I’ve implemented in an Intercom CTA linkAnd unfortunately here you can see that it’s not had the desired effect - the data isn’t being pulled from Intercom  

HI. can we see when an outbound chat message was read by the user? We send out important info that sometimes the customer says they didn't see, yet the message shows as seen. Can i tell when that message was read? Not after last seen info. Thanks.

Hello everyone, we are configuring our inbox rule in the Intercom and want to implement the following:1.When the ticket is created, if there is still no first response for 5 minutes, then the agent will be alerted (pop-up notifications or sent an email).2.If a ticket remains unresolved for 4h, the Leader will be alerted (pop-up notifications or sent an email). But we are now experiencing some blocking and we don't know how to pop up a notificatoin or send an email through the workflow or inbox rule. Any recommendations? Thank you! 

When I create a new iOS Storyboard project and add the iOS SDK https://github.com/intercom/intercom-ios-sp via Swift Package Manager it fails to build with the following error:The signature of “Intercom.xcframework” cannot be verified.I received the same error when upgrading from 15.1.5 to 15.2.0 in an existing project also.Edit: Fetching other versions work fine.Edit 2: This is an issue in Xcode 15 betas only (specifically Beta 6 for me). Building with Xcode 14.3 works fine.

Hello, I am trying to fetch all articles and I keep getting CORS error no matter what I try. I tried to set the headers as mentioned here https://developers.intercom.com/docs/references/rest-api/api.intercom.io/Articles/listArticles/, adding also access allow control origin header but I can’t get the data. I get it in postman with no issue. What am I missing? Working with RTK Query.
