Hey everyone,

We’re looking for insights on how to effectively use Intercom’s ticket tracker to manage feature requests and bug reports. Here’s our current setup, and we’d love to hear your thoughts, suggestions, or any case studies from the community!

Our Current Approach

We have a module in our app called "Customer Management," which frequently receives customer requests for enhancements and bug fixes. To streamline tracking, we created a tracker ticket type named "CRM Module Enhancement Requests."

Each request is logged as a separate ticket with a specific title, such as:
🔹 Customer’s Address adding feature
🔹 Customer’s purchase profile Feature
🔹 Customer’s Phone Number edit option

 
 

Our Goals

✅ Identify which modules receive the most customer requests (daily/weekly/monthly)
✅ Determine the most frequently requested features within each module
✅ Set up reports and charts categorizing requests by business type and feature title, using customer request count as the base

Looking for Suggestions & Best Practices

🔹 How do you effectively track feature requests & bug reports in Intercom?
🔹 Are there better ways to structure tracker tickets?
🔹 Any case studies or examples of how teams analyze and prioritize customer requests?
🔹 How do you leverage Intercom reports and dashboards for actionable insights?

Would love to hear from teams who have optimized their Intercom workflow for feature tracking and prioritization. Your insights would be super valuable! 🚀

Hey ​@Vivek T,  Emily here from Support Engineering at Intercom 👋🏼

I hope you don’t mind me getting the conversation going!
 

Here are some tips I can recommend from an Intercom point of view 👇

  • Link Conversations to Tracker Tickets: Use Tracker tickets to streamline issues affecting multiple customers, such as bugs or feature requests. Link all related conversations to a single Tracker ticket to create a single source of truth for your team.
  • Review and Manage Customer Reports: Access the number of customer reports linked to a Tracker ticket by clicking on the "customer reports" header. This allows you to filter views and manage linked customer tickets efficiently.
  • Collaboration and Updates: Tracker tickets facilitate collaboration with internal teams and allow you to broadcast updates to all impacted customers, keeping them informed about the status of their requests.

We also have a some really great articles for Tracker Ticket tips and tricks, here are some of them:

Hope this helps! 💪🏼
