Hi @ugo​ , Never had an issue with deleting past employees with Intercom.
What kind of statistics got lost? can you share with us more details? it's a really interesting case.
Â
Q - Intercom's answer was to change their email and password and leave it there, paying their seat monthly to have access to their information.
A - Intercom offering a free user, just revoke the Inbox seat.
Â
More information about the Intercom seat, can be found here.
Hey, Roy
Â
I can start with a very simple case:
(example): Jack worked with us from April 2020 to July 2020. He then quit the company.
Â
If I remove him from Intercom, I can't access his stats directly. I'm not even sure if his stats get reassigned to who his conversations were reassigned to or if they just get hidden from the averages.
If I remove him from Intercom, when I look for the June 2020 report, it won't show his name anymore. So if I'm showing someone these reports, I have to note that "hey, there was also another guy who is not here anymore and hence his stats are not accounted for in this report".
Â
Does it make sense?
Â
For me, I don't see why we can't have in the June 2020 report something like:
Jack (deactivated): x tickets answered.
@ugo​ , Yes thanks for clarifying, you should request this feature in @Product Wishlist​ Group for sure. Meantime you can just change the password, disable the e-mail account and remove a user from the Inbox seat. In this way, you can access reports and don't pay Inbox seat cost.
Â
I agree with you, it will be nice to see the reports of the past employees. That's why you should request this as a feature request.
Â
Hope my workaround helps you a little until Intercom implements a new feature.Â
Yeah, that's a crappy solution unfortunately. Thanks for the input.
