Email Creation

I am a new Intercom user. When building my first email, I ran into a few issues - so hoping someone can assist. Trying to reduce the font size of a sentence in a Text Box. When I highlight just the sentence I want to be smaller font - it changes the entire text box, not just the highlighted text. I am trying to insert an Icon/Image to the Left of a bulleted list. Unfortunately I can’t figure out how to have two columns - so it is only allowing me to insert the image above or below the text.  Lastly, I am trying to add a few design elements - such as a horizontal line as an accent, not a divider. I haven’t found how to do that. Any guidance or tips for this novice user, would be greatly appreciated!SD

Gmail Users: Has anyone found a solution for the wrong contact image appearing in conversation replies?

Curious if anyone has dealt with this issue. In the image below you can see that Tyson replied to a customer, however it’s showing the wrong contact image in Gmail. We have intercom set to send all responses from support@ourdomain.com. I’m assuming this is more of a Gmail issue than an Intercom issue, but I just want to figure out if there’s something I can do to prevent this from happening.

Export Intercom Data to Notion

Is there an easy automated way to export Intercom reports and dashboard data to Notion? I would like to maintain company-wide ‘Scoreboards’ in Notion and Intercom is obviously a key part of that for CS.

The app sometimes crashes when adding video content, even after adding Media3 alongside the existing com.google.android.exoplayer:exoplayer. Crashes have reduced but still occur on various devices. Intercom SDK version is 15.11.0

Trying to tag newly-created conversation results in "Conversation has no taggable part"

I’m initiating a new conversation *to* a Contact, by using `createmessage` with the flag `create_conversation_without_contact_reply`. I get back a `conversation_id` on the resulting `Message` object. I then attempt to tag the conversation using `attachtagtoconversation`, which returns a very unhelpful message:{"type":"error.list","request_id":"00038sjjl7b2cb36su6g","errors":[{"code":"unsupported","message":"Conversation has no taggable part"}]} What does this mean? How do I apply tags on conversations? EDIT: this seems to happen when trying to tag newly-created tickets, too! the error message mentioning “Conversation” threw me off.

[iOS] Video capture is not available since Intercom iOS SDK 17.2.0

Hello,I faced with unexpected experience when I cannot to capture video in Intercom messenger using iOS SDK since 17.2.0. Could you please help me to resolve this issue?My steps:Update iOS SDK to 18.2.0. Run the app, check that there is Intercom’s warning “Add NSMicrophoneUsageDescription...”  in Xcode console. Add NSMicrophoneUsageDescription to Info.plist according to Installation guide, step 2.  Run the app again, check the message is not printed. Open Intercom messenger, start a new conversation. Press a green plus icon. It opens an action sheet, choose Camera. The app asks only for camera permission, not microphone. Allow camera usage. Camera opens → only photo capturing is available, not video. Change SDK version to 17.1.2.  Run the app, repeat step 5, press a grey camera icon.  The app asks for microphone permission. Allow it. Camera opens. → Both options, Photo and Video, are available for choosing. Update SDK to 17.2.0, repeat steps 5-7. → Again, only photo capturing is availa

Reports with incorrect data

We've been analyzing our NPS reports where we ask our users a question from 0 to 10 about how much they would recommend our app to a colleague. Problem 1The intercom form only has a numerical answer, but when we export the exel data it comes up with the numerical value + this text ‘Not likely or Very likely’.-Could you solve this problem? (We're not supposed to have any additional information in the answer)Problem 2We also have a result of ‘0, 0, 0 ’ in exel which is also not visible in the intercom interface, only in exel reports.-In this case, does this answer count towards the NPS value or not?-Does this data affect the NPS count in the intercom interface?

Reduce the spacing between message/button sections in the chatbox

The message and button sections which are set in the workflow are somewhat not user-friendly in the chatbox with a huge spacing in between when the message is short. Is there anyway we can have the buttons appear below the message to make the chat-bot looks neat and easy for users to select?

Intercom integration for conversation routing in client app

Hello,We’re working on integrating Intercom into our application and need help with the following use case:GoalWe want users to initiate a conversation in our application, which would then be automatically sent with a message generated by our app (not written by the user). This message would include essential details, such as information about an error the user encountered. Additionally, we want the conversation to be directly routed to a specific inbox in Intercom.ContextBackend Solution (avoided): While we could handle this via the backend by creating the conversation and using tags or keywords with an Intercom workflow to route it, we want to avoid a server-side implementation. Preferred Solution: The conversation should be initiated by the user but automatically sent with a pre-filled message from the app on the client side, and routed to the correct inbox.QuestionDoes Intercom provide an API or client-side solution to:Allow users to initiate a conversation that’s automatically sen

Report for Tag Totals by Month with total number listed

Hello!It looks like the reporting is going to be changed soon. The report for tag totals by month is somewhat limited, and it seems this is no longer going to be available beyond just listing 10 top tags used along with their total number.With the new layout, how can one download the conversation tags and total number used for the entire month, not just the top ten the new report shows?What I am finding is you’d have to download the conversations, sort by conversation tags, and then manually count those tags using this new layout. Is that true?? That just feels like this is making more work to produce what was already easy to pull on legacy reporting.Perhaps it’s my error and I am just not seeing this as being available in the new format, it’s entirely possible the report is available, but I am just not finding it on my end.Thank you so much for any assistance you might have and guidance.
