Limiting teammember to a specific inbox

Hello, My company is using Intercom in several teams (Support, Sales and Success). We’ve created three separate teams inside Intercom. Is there a possibility to limit the view of each of the teammembers to only see their dedicated team’s inbox? I.e. Support should only see messages asssigned to Support, and not to Sales and Success. I’d be more than happy to provide more details - please note I am quite new to Intercom, so apologies if this question shows my lack of basic knowledge. Thanks in advance!

Facebook/instagram comments?

Email Signatures

Hey, I am curious to know how other companies handle email management. Currently, we are using a third-party app to manage our emails and use intercom for live chats. However, ideally we would want to migrate email support into intercom so that we can save some money. The problem we are facing is that we have multiple inboxes with different signatures for each one. For example, one inbox has a generic signature without specifying agent names, but other inboxes require agent names to be visible. Is this even possible? We’re happy to change our procedures quite a bit to make this work, but email signatures is non negotiable.

Unable to POST Contact using email

I’m currently trying to POST a Contact with just an email, and am currently being met with a 400 error:Request body:{"name": "Kim Chuc", "email": "email@gmail.com"}Response body:{ "type": "error.list", "request_id": "0004n8c4t4e6a3olv82g", "errors": [ { "code": "invalid_document", "message": "either_email_or_user_id_present validation failed" } ]} Based on the docs, email is the only required field to POST a Contact and I’ve double checked to make sure the email doesn’t already exist: Has anyone ever come across this issue before?

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.

Message input field sometimes doesn't appear in chat on iOS

When opening the Intercom messenger to send messages, after tapping the initial prompt and being asked to type a question, sometimes the text input field for the message does not appear, and there is no way for the user to type. We’ve had reports of this happening from users and have videos of it happening, but have not been able to replicate this behaviour on the simulator. We’re encountering this issue on version 17.0.0

How can I group 'Saved content' and 'macros' together?

The macro's are only visible when an email conversation is existing already. When a new email conversation is started by 'us' a different set of saved replies is visible (called saved content). Both are very important. Just wondering if they can be combined in one type of saved reply/macro?

Fin Tips and Tricks- Connect with the Intercom team

Leveraging Fin for email channel - manageable workarounds?

Hi there! We are starting out our usage of Fin pretty conservatively. Our approach is to only enable Fin outside of our open hours. This way the customer doesn’t have “much too lose” by giving Fin a chance as worst case they don’t get relevant help but they wouldn’t have a chance to speak to human until tomorrow anyways.My problem with this approach is that we only have about 25% new conversations starting through chat, and 75% from emails. So the potential impact of Fin is pretty limited. Understanding that Fin can’t be enabled in the email channel (yet), I was thinking about workarounds. One option that I considered was to have a reply in the workflow for emails coming in outside work hours, where I tell the customer something like “we’re currently closed. But if you go to <url of web app> you can chat with Fin who might be able to help you out immediately”. Where I think this becomes a problem is that if the customer go to the web and tries to send a message through the web in

https://api.intercom.io/companies/list not working

Hi, Using the “/companies” with scroll parameters works without problems. Somehow though I need a way to read companies starting with the most recently added, and it seems “companies/list” is the only way to do that. No matter how I query “companies/list”, no matter what parameters I set for page, per_page and order I always get this same error:{"type"=>"error.list", "request_id"=>"003kmpu8u10s0f0dgeb0", "errors"=>[{"code"=>"company_not_found", "message"=>"Company Not Found"}]} Can you advise?

Ticket portal layout issues

We observe severe layout issues of the Ticket Portal, and I am unable to figure out if this is a bug, or something we are going wrong. If it’s a bug, I am quote surprised to see no questions about it. Those issues make the ticket portal look inconsistent and unprofessional to the point we can hardly allow customers to use it.Asan example, the Help centre home page looks totally fine: Then, after I click on Ticket portal, it changes: Here, the nav bar is broken, the width has changed, and it starts to look awkward.When I open a ticket, the layout changes again:The width is returned to what it was in Help centre, but the nav bar is still wrong.Is there a way to make the layout not to change across those pages?

[Android] Not able to grant permission in Android in Intercom version 15.8.3

I currently use Intercom's Android SDK in my App for customer support. Previously I was using the 'io.intercom.android:intercom-sdk:15.1.4' then I updated the SDK version to 'io.intercom.android:intercom-sdk:15.8.3' (currently the latest) version. After this Android permission issues start to come i.e. Devices running Android Version 12 and below cannot grant permissions. This started happening only when I upgraded the intercom's SDK version, reverting the version to the previous one solves the issue. I am asking the user to permit access to READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE, which is getting denied.

Integration with an external API

I am trying to integrate with an external API (ExtAPI) so that an agent can use an Inbox app to create data in it when in a conversation.The agent has a login (username/password) in the ExtAPI. There is a login endpoint in the ExtAPI that returns a token and id for them. The agent may occasionally need to re-login.I can’t work out how to allow the agent to be able to login into the ExtAPI and store the token and id in their session so that it will be passed in conversation details to the Inbox App. I presume I’ll need to create a login form but don’t know where to set/call this in Intercom.Any advice would be appreciated.

Hide specific conversation from messenger

I want to build a specific interface for a specific AI bot, only accesible from a specific screen. Because it's a mvp I don't want these chats to appear in the side messenger from support, nor receive push notifications when AI replies.Still I don’t find the way to do this so I thought maybe the API has a hacky way to achieve this, such as message through a hidden or archived a conversation.thanks

Calculate active AHT

Hello,In Intercom's metrics, the Average Handling Time is measured when a conversation is assigned to a teammate and the status is open.However, this metric indicates the total time until the customer receives a reply.In our case, we're aiming to collect data on the actual time a teammate spends actively engaged with a case, such as having the conversation/ticket open in a tab, writing a reply, or leaving notes.Is there a way to access this information through Intercom reporting, or alternatively are there any timer apps that we could install to calculate this?Thank you.

Help Setting Up SMS Alerts for VIP Calls Using Intercom

Hello,I’m trying to set up an SMS alert system in Intercom for when a VIP customer calls in. The plan is to use the phone workflow to trigger an API call, which then triggers an event. This event should prompt an SMS to be sent to a specific segment of our team.I've been attempting to use "Last contacted" for the created_at field and "Contact ID" for user_id in my API setup, but I keep encountering JSON format errors. If anyone has experience with setting up similar workflows or can offer insights into what might be going wrong, I'd greatly appreciate your help. Also, if there's a different approach that could achieve the same outcome, I’m open to suggestions!Thanks in advance for your assistance!
