Retype email address in workflow

UPDATE:I got a reply from Intercom. Apparently, the email address is a unique identifier for users. This means you can never change that. Which as a result means that leads that enter the system via Messenger will end up with whatever email address they entered, and we have to manually create new users with the correct information.---I created a workflow where we request some information from possible leads.However, we want them to use their business email address, not some hotmail, gmail or other general mail address.To accomplish this, I have a branch which checks the email domain and if it is one of the non-wanted email domains it will go back to ask for the business email address again and again until it is correct, or the customer decides to leave.To my surprise it seems you're not able to retype an email address once you entered that. All other fields are fine, name, company etc., but someone decided that once you enter an email address, you have to stick with that?Is there a way

Can I slow down the speed that custom bot bubbles appear to the customer?

i.e. If I have one path, with a message that is split into 3 bubbles, can I delay how fast each of the 3 bubbles shows? they display too quickly and customers often miss the info in the first bubble, esp. on mobile.

Fin AI workflow for assumed resolved conversation & negative rating

Hi there, I’m wondering if there is a possibility to create a workflow that will achieve the following? When a conversation is “ assumed resolved” by fin AI - get it re-opened and assign it to an inbox for a human follow-up. By having a human follow-up, I’d like to ensure the answer provided by Fin is what the user was looking for, and I believe it adds a touch to the user experience. It would be even more beneficial when a negative CSAT rating has been provided to the bot by the user.

Slack Notification with Team Assignment Changes

Hey Intercom Community! I am looking to create a slack automated workflow for any time a new conversation is assigned to a team inbox. Ideally, this slack notification only fires for conversations that are manually re-assigned from one team to other. If the only way to accomplish that is for all conversations, please let me know. I tested this out with the ‘Teammate changes the conversation state’ workflow but this did not work since the conversation status remains ‘open’ during the time the conversation is assigned from 1 team to another. Is it possible to create a slack notification any time a tag is applied to a conversation? we could also use that, but didn’t see how I could set that up.Any recommendations would be appreciated here, thanks and let me know if there are any questions!

Fin not generating answers

I’ve created a Fin AI custom action that calls an API endpoint which returns the following response: {"shiftDate": "2024-09-24","company": "Global Solutions","hourlyRate": "$20.11","location": "https://www.google.com/maps?q=-56.464281,-27.830251"} I have a workflow defined that allows users to type in their questions. However, when I ask:"When is my next shift?" "What's the hourly rate for my next shift?"Fin successfully triggers the custom action, but it doesn't generate an answer. Instead, it says it couldn't find any answer for the question.What am I doing wrong?

Automatical assign to the specific team

How can I create automatic redirects to a specific command? Currently, I have attempted several methods. I have created two workflows. In one, messages are checked by “Message content is”, “Message content contains”, “Message content contains word”, and if it does, the message is redirected to a specific destination. In the other workflow, a specific field is marked that stores the text "book_here", and if this field is present in a message, it is automatically redirected. However, neither of these methods has worked perfectly.What is the best approach for me to take to ensure automatic transmission of messages? I have only two ways to determine the messages that need to be reassigned to the specific team - this is the field in the dialog that stores the text "book_here" and the text of the message, which is always the same.

auto-forward eails with PDF attachment?

I have a common use case where customers send email attachments that our service processes for them, but they often send these to our general inbound  support email inbox rather than to a dedicated inbox here they’ll be auto-processed from. Is it possible to set up an Intercom automation that will recognise when an incoming email has a PDF attachment and is from a known customer, and will auto-forward that email with the attachment?

Using bots to add Notes

Hello, I have configured different types of custom bots. In some cases, I need the bot to create a note on the conversation which tells my agents which resources to check and if they need to call the customer right away. I haven’t been able to find the option to add a note in the settings, so I am wondering if that’s possible at all. Thank you in advance for your help and guidance!Cheers

How to can I launch and collect data for a beta waitlist

Hey everyone! I have a new product that we are in the process of finishing up to release to customers soon, and I wanted to launch a message to segment of customers to signup for a waitlist to use the product. Intercom has done this recently for Fin Copilot.  How can I create this? I was thinking of sending out a post to the segment, but I need to collect a yes or a no to join the waitlist. Then I want to pick people in order of who clicked “yes” first and slowly release to that list of users.  Any ideas?

Custom welcome message not appearing in overview preview.

We made a new workflow live under “Customer opens a new conversation in the Messenger” with a custom Welcome message. However, the message is not appearing as the welcome message in the Fin AI Agent → Overview → Preview Answer bot. The message only appears in the preview while in the workflow. No other workflows are live. Thanks in advance!

Intercom / Slack integration - now showing "Received participant added notification" instead of conversation content

Our company has an automation between Slack and Intercom, such that when a new conversation is started in Intercom, we received a message in Slack with the contents of that conversation.  Starting today, for seemingly no explicable reason on our end, instead of the conversation contents being posted in Slack, we are just seeing “Received participant added notification”.  We’ve seen this occur twice, with the first instance occurring roughly 35 minutes ago.“Received participant added notification” is a string used by Twilio (upon which Intercom is built), and so we’re wondering if there’s a bug on Intercom’s side that is resulting in the notification being posted via the automation instead of the conversation contents.  Any help would be appreciated.

Intent recognition with Fin

Hi,  So, we have a case where virtual servers can mean different things to different customers. A customer can ask how do I back up virtual machines, and Fin suggests an answer on how to do it for Nutanix while the customer is using our solution for VMware. Is there a way we can feed customer data into a Fin workflow so that Fin can guess the intent of the question and provide a more accurate answer?

Workflow creating unwanted buttons

I have a custom action that calls my api then stores that response in a custom object. It takes an id, and returns a json with a bunch of values I want to display as buttons. When I do this, I am getting more buttons than objects returned by the api, which I would guess come from previously created custom object instances. How can I make it so that the only buttons created are the ones from the associated custom action? I also have access to an id field that I could filter by, although I haven’t found a way to do so yet.

Prevent ratings on old conversations

We have enabled the setting to prevent Customers from changing their rating after  a set time (1hr) but this does not seem to extend to conversations that have not been previously rated. We have had a few instances of disgruntled customers going back and rating chats from days prior. Is there a setting to prevent this?

How to prevent agents from being assigned conversations in languages they do not speak?

Hello!Our team uses multiple teams to organize our workload based on tasks and communication channels. Adding language-based separation would create an excessive number of additional teams, making it difficult to manage shifts efficiently.We've found that:We cannot add "skills" to agents to designate the languages they should handle. Workflows do not support the "do not assign to" option.Is there an alternative way to prevent agents from being assigned conversations in languages they do not speak, other than creating separate teams?

Storing data with unknown keys

I have an api that sends back a json object with keys that may change every time the call is made. It looks like custom objects require strict field declarations beforehand, so I’m not sure how to handle this data. Ideally I’d like to store both the keys and values, as I’ll need both of them. Thanks!
