Can I implement cookie consent on the Help Center? For example, is there a way to integrate Google Tag Manager?

Is there a way to implement cookie consent on the Help Center? One way to do it would be to add a Google Tag Manager integration so that users could add their own cookie consent implementation. Rationale for cookie consent: The Help Centre already has an integration with Google Analytics (see https://www.intercom.com/help/en/articles/1346547-integrate-google-analytics-with-your-help-center. However, for many countries, cookie consent is required to use Google Analytics.The Help Centre can be part of the user journey for a business. As a result, it makes sense to be able to unify tracking/consent across all its domains/subdomains using Google Tag Manager.YouTube videos can be embedded in Help Centre articles, which sets its own cookies that can require consent. There may be other services that do this on the Help Centre.

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.

Is it possible to delete or hide old messages sent to customers in their message center?

When we were first setting up Intercom we had 2 people testing out features such as sending a welcome message to all customers and someone else testing the message feature by sending a test message to all customers. Now, when a customer opens the intercom message center they see a bunch of fake messages or old welcome messages, and they don't go away. This is on EVERY customer and I didn't realize it until I took over intercom. What if our customers use Intercom a lot? Will they just have a loooong list of conversations here?

Microsoft Teams connectivity

Hello, I vaguely remember an Intercom connector being available for Microsoft Teams, but this no longer seems to be case. Has this been removed?The connector allowed us to receive Teams notifications whenever a new conversation was started on Intercom.The alternative approach would be to use a Webhook, but Intercom’s webhook payload seemingly does not conform to Microsoft’s expectations: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoftteams/platform/task-modules-and-cards/cards/cards-reference#connector-card-for-microsoft-365-groupsIs my view of this correct? Thanks,Dimeji

Retrieving NPS survey data

Hello,I have successfully established connection among Intercom -> Segment -> Redshift iterations.Our team does have NPS survey data on the Intercom and I could see the NPS score data on the redshift server.Is there anyway I can retrieve the timeframe data when the users leave NPS feedback on Intercom? I could find timeframe when users joined and logged-in, but could not find when they left their NPS score.I am not sure if I have to contact Intercom or Segment, sorry in advance if this is the wrong place to ask questions.Thank you

Hyperlinks in conversations sent via email are not opening

Hi there,Starting from today, hyperlinks within conversations sent via email are not opening. When checking in element inspector, the targets are “_blank”:When opening the raw email, the links are there, so we can use that in the meantime.Links in conversations sent via the messenger widget are working as expected, so it’s only affecting emailed conversations.Thanks for looking!

Any suggestions on how to solve infinite loops in Series

Hi, everyone!I’m working on a onboarding series right now, and I want to make sure the majority of our users see the product tour. So we’ve put a series that includes said product tour, where they enter as soon as they sign up, we check a couple of things, such as language, and then we trigger the product tour. Then, in case the user goes offline before receiving the product tour, we’ve set up an email to reel them back to the app. Here’s the issue, if I direct them to the tour right after clicking on a button o whatever in the email, it creates an infinite loop.Has anyone else had a similar situation? How did you got around solving it? Should we include a second product tour for the email path?Thank you🙏🏽

Help! Amazon Emails splitting into separate conversations!

Hello Intercom community,i hope someone can help me.We’re using Intercom mainly for E-Commerce Customer Support (shopify and amazon).I'm facing a challenge with amazon buyer-seller messages (forwarded via email to intercom) that are being split into separate threads instead of being grouped under the same conversation.We use Amazon Seller Central and have configured it to forward messages from customers (buyer-seller mailbox, amazon’s own messaging system) to our Intercom system. Despite ongoing conversations, each new customer message, even if part of an existing thread, opens as a new conversation in Intercom. This fragmentation makes managing customer interactions quite cumbersome. Here’s what happens:A customer sends a message through the buyer-seller inbox on amazon The message is sent via email to our support mail-adress, which then forwards the email to intercom We respond via Intercom, and our reply reaches the customer without issues. The customer replies to our response using

Getting event when receiving proactive support message

Hello,we are trying to implement a custom launcher that uses intercom’s launcher inside of it as one of our options. Everything went smoothly until we saw that our proactive support messages were showing without our launcher noticing. We couldn’t find any event to get triggered in our code when the user receives a proactive support message. Is there any way of achieving this? we tried with the “onShow” event but that one only triggers when the intercom launcher is opened manually and not through a proactive support message.Thanks in advance!

Fin Tips and Tricks- Connect with the Intercom team

How many conversations before you can start optimize Fin?

I’ve had this message from “Phil” since we started using Fin. Can someone give some indication on how many conversations Fin have to be involved in before we can start to work with this? I would like to spend more of the team’s time on improving Fin (vs. just solving tickets themselves), but I struggle a bit to find practical and valuable ways to do so and this seems to be a possible avenue...

Workflow is not triggered when creating Messages/Conversations through the API

Hi All, I’ve a contact form on the web, and in Intercom we created a Email workflow, if some email is send to a email address we trigger the email workflow. So, I need to trigger that workflow when I POST a Conversation o Message, with message_type = email. I’ve tried POST conversations, POST message, also set the from and to with valid contacts/users, the message/conversation is created but the workflow is not triggered. Any ideas?

Emails not sending

This morning two unique emails are being sent to two smallish (<800 people) audience and they still have not “sent” yet. I recreated one because even after an hour it still hadn’t sent. Has anyone run into this before, and if so, what was the cause and how did you fix it? I have reached out to support but wait time on that is 4 hours and I am already outside of my ideal window for when we wanted these emails to be sent.
