Workflows & Automations

I need the bot to capture this message, from Whatsapp, from the customer's response and assign it as a variable so that I can use it in an API

Our custom bot splits the path in a couple spots when getting and verifying the customer's information. Is there a way to reconnect the two paths back into a single path without the use of reply buttons or something that gives me an arrow? See image, where we've asked the potential customer whether or not they have an e-mail address. Once we get that info (or learn that they do not have an email address), I'd like them to go back into the same path. The red lines are what I'd like to accomplish. Thanks!

Hi, we're currently using Bump by Userfeed but don't like it. It feels very manual as you need to click two buttons every time you want to automate a followup. We also never customize the template Bump by Userfeed offers. We only use it to follow up with a question like "when does this happen?" or "could you elaborate?" or "what version are you on?" etc. I think ideally we'd have a bot that detects/notices that we asked the user a question and reminds them to follow up after a few days. Any idea for what we should try to reduce manual work for automated followups?

We are exploring the option of offering localized support to our customers. Ideally, we would allow customers to choose between three time zones for support such as U.S. Pacific, EMEA, or AEDT and only offer them support during the time they have chosen. We were planning on creating some type of attribute for this in Salesforce so we could easily identify which customers are part of each support offering. Where we seem to be struggling is the routing. We are currently thinking that we will need 4 separate inboxes/ teams (one for PT, one for EMEA, one for AEDT, and one for 24/5 support). As some of these times will overlap, our team is looking at having to watch multiple inboxes. We are also struggling to figure out how we would be able to continue to use auto-assignment as there is no way to turn off auto assignment for a particular inbox.  We want to ensure customers only receive support during the time offering they have chosen. Any best practices anyone can share around this?

I'd like to create a link that contains attributes from the user:  But when doing so, I cannot find the utm parameters in the attributes list:  I basically want to create a link like the followinghttps://sample.com?utm_medium=medium&utm_source=source&utm_campaign=campaign where the utm parameters are the ones which the user had before opening the conversation with the bot. If this is currently not possible through the intercom interface, would this be possible using custom scripts? I see this developer post on github that could be a solution, but dunno even how should I implement such script. ThanksGas  

I don't believe I can create a rule to tag it by "message content" since the relevant lines are status updates within the ticket and not content sent in a message either to or from the user. The issue is that this creates untagged conversations which can skew our data.

From our backend app we are responding with different canvas JSON objects based on user input while adding an app. We can see that our canvas JSON is sent properly, but it's not rendered correctly at Intercom side. Please check and let us know. 

If you are an expert in building Intercom apps I am looking for you. I need you to participate in a series of video meetings to assist me in choosing the right setup for my app and finding my way around the different corners of Intercom. The remote service that will communicate with the Intercom app is good to go, except I would need your assistance crafting responses to requests from Intercom. I will of course pay for your time, let me know if this has any interest.

Can I integrate Zendesk into the custom bot so that I can offer our customers to either chat with an agent or create a ticket in Zendesk via Intercom?

Here are my settings for the task bot for users  It looks like it's partially working. The task bot is asking for the user's number.  But it's not suggesting the article even though the user posted the exact article title ( This was me copying and pasting a help article name into the chat). The question and article are both in English: 

How can I add a new path for my custom bot?

I have completed Messenger web integration and set a Custom Bot live, but when I go to test it on our trial webpage the Custom Bot does not appear.

Is it possible to create a callable phone call link so visitor can click on phone number in the chat and it opens the native mobile caller app so visitor can make a direct call from the bot conversation ?

Trying to point customers to an existing re-usable bot i've built, but when trying to point people in Series, it just asks to build a new one - not use an existing one.

Anyone else having an issue with users who are unable to report an issue via the app?

Is it possible to provide a "start again" button as a bot response so user can start new conversation again ?

Hi! I am using custom bot to map customer questions before reaching the support team. Some of the questions can be solved with custom bot and some of them needs the agent. When the customer wants to talk to a human would it be possible for custom bot to recognize whether the team is online or not and answer accordingly? It would help a lot to manage customer expectations! Hope you can see what I am after! 😁  

Trying to add a link to an email that will, when clicked on, launch operator live chat on our site. Not seeing documentation for how to do that though.

These seem somewhat overlapping, so I don't understand when to use which type of element.   Also, if I use custom object data, can i write reports against this?

This doesn’t display for me since the update, I’m still seeing the old / previous design. Do I need to do anything?

I need a custom bot for our customers across several different languages.

I am using UChat for chatbot and then connect to intercom when the user asking for human agent, it works great. Just want to check if anyone also using UChat, I would like to discuss what features do you use from UChat, as it is such powerful chatbot platform.  https://www.intercom.com/app-store/?app_package_code=uchat-gmp1/p>

We use custom bots to provide some information before someone chooses to speak to a person. This is across most of our pages, but I have a different Custom bot that I would like to kick in if a person accesses Intercom from another of our webpages. This is important because the bot will end by assigning the query to another team in Intercom (and this seems to overrule the inbox rules set up). Is it the 'new conversation' Custom bot I should be using? I thought it would be straightforward to do this by using Rules, but I've tried a few different things and it still only shows the original custom bot, not the one I have created. This means the queries are then also assigned to the wrong team. I've created an Audience rule 'Current page contains...', but this didn't work. I also added 'does not contain' to the original Custom bot as well, but this still didn't fix it. Can anyone help? Thank you

How can I disable visual mode in Custom Bots builder?
