Fin FAQs

Hi there! I’m trying to test a use case, but no luck so far, so I wanted o see if any of you tried something similar. Use case: I need Fin to override the user’s initial inquiry IF Fin detects a Health check issue on the user’s account. I have the data connector set up, and I added a When/If/then guidance. So far, this guidance is only triggered if the user asks a direct question about their account health status. Here’s a screenshot of the rule:  

i was trying to create an account but after signing up i got this 403 Forbidden: Workspace Suspended

My teammates reported an issue with a Fin response that stemmed from a Guidance prompt that was never enabled. I spent lots of time testing our active prompts before opening the prompt that isn’t enabled. That prompt is where Fin was pulling from; I had to delete the prompt entirely so Fin wouldn’t use it. How can I ensure that draft prompts are not being used in the background? 

I was testing Fin’s email response for a tracking-related question. It’s connected to our company API to pull live tracking data, and while the information it returned was accurate, the email took nearly an hour to arrive.Is this kind of delay normal? Is there a way to configure Fin to send the email response immediately after retrieving the requested information? 

Hi Intercom Community,I’m exploring how to integrate Fin AI Agent into custom workflows for a small business to automate customer support. Any tips for setting this up efficiently?Details:Setup: Small business owner, using Intercom’s Inbox and Fin AI Agent on a WordPress site (2025). Handling ~100 customer queries weekly. Context: Following Intercom’s Fin setup guide, I’ve enabled Fin to answer FAQs, but want to tailor it for custom workflows (e.g., escalating complex queries to team, triggering follow-ups). Steps Tried: Configured Fin to pull from help center articles. Set up basic rules to route unresolved queries to the Inbox. Tested custom attributes for user segmentation, but struggling with seamless workflow integration. Goal: Automate 50% of queries with Fin while ensuring smooth handoffs to human agents for complex issues.Questions:What strategies do you use to integrate Fin with custom workflows? How do you configure rules or attributes to balance automation and human suppo

Our platform includes a large hotel inventory that expands on a daily basis.Is there a way for Fin to receive a request for a certain hotel (e.g. Atlanta Marriott Suites Midtown) to be added to our platform’s inventory, find that hotel’s information through a third-party search, and create that hotel profile inside our platform?TIA!

We are looking to utilize FIN in creating hotel profiles on our platform. This would require FIN to pull certain information from external sources and use that information to create content on our platform. Are these features that FIN offers? TIA!

My org would like to explore getting Fin in front of calls/emails. What resources should I consume before surfacing a request for consultation on our specific use case? Is it trustworthy? What are the hallucination implications? 

Hi!I want to design a system where any employee can ask Fin questions and get answers based on our internal resources and customers can ask questions and get answers based on what’s in our help center. One idea was creating two help centers (one for employees and one for users) but looks like Fin can only be trained on one help center. Anyone have success with creating a system that uses Fin trained on two different knowledge bases to answer questions? Or other general thoughts about how to go about this? We use confluence for our internal resources and have a help center that we directly edit for customer questions. Also don’t want to add every single employee as an intercom user

Hello team! This maybe very normal question. Just would like to understand what are the differences between FIN AI and Chatbot please? In terms of how it can help to support customer service team We are looking to improve percentage of conversations which resolved by FIN AI. Also, percentage of improvement for conversations which closed by Chatbot as attached picture. To start with, I would like to get more understandings on how Chatbot can help the team to close conversation different from FIN AI please? Saw that percentage in report between FIN AI and Chatbot are separated. So I assumed that the way they work in the system on conversations are different? Moreover, if you have any suggestions/real practices about Intercom Chatbot improvement would you mind help to suggest. That would be really helpful on my end! Really appreciated :) Thank you in advance! Ploy

Hi all, I’m new here and trying to improve the FIN AI resolution rate. However, I would like to understand why the extracted data is always shows 0% or not higher than 2% if FIN AI Resolution rate is filtered with "Team currently assigned" but shows 27% for FIN AI Resolution rate of the company We do have our CS team across countries using Intercom chat. As the extracted data, there are two resolution rates that we’re looking at1.) FIN AI resolution rate of company as a whole2.) FIN AI resolution rate with filtered “Team currently assigned” each countries’ CS team However, the data extracted are always different. For an example, latest company FIN AI resolution rate is 27% but if I filtered the FIN AI resolution rate with “Team currently assigned” and see data of CS team in each countries. The data always show as 0% and never higher than 2% Would anyone have an explanation about this please that why it is different? I’ve read about the definition in Intercom but still unsure if my thou
