Ending workflow after customer abandons chat

Hi there! We are new to using workflows to help manage conversation volume and finding a lot of chats stay open because customers abandon the chat when they have found their answer, and don’t tell us. I’ve see you can turn on the feature to auto-close incomplete workflows after X minutes of inactivity, however, we don’t want EVERY path to auto-close, just certain ones, or at certain points. For example, if a customer reaches out asking to do X task we send instructions on how to complete it. We then follow up with a message asking if we can help with anything else and give the options:“That’s all” → This prompts them to rate the conversation and closes it “I have another question” → This routes them back to the beginning set of options “Can I speak to an agent” → This prompts a message that they’ve been connected to our support team, and asks if they have anything they’d like to add with then the option for the customer to type a responseIf the customer doesn’t select any of these opt

Is there a way to include an excerpt of an article in another article?

In the knowledge base, we have a Glossary of Terms page. For some longer articles, I’d like to be able to pull specific terms and definitions from the Glossary of Terms page and display them in the second article. In this flow, if I needed to modify the wording of a definition, I would update it on the Glossary of Terms page, and that would flow into the second article, instead of having to update the definition in two+ articles. Is this possible?

Is there a time delay when you set a workflow live?

Hi everyone! Just wanted to know if there is a time delay in between setting a Workflow live and when you pause an existing workflow? When I make an edit to a workflow or create a new workflow for the same page that I am using, I noticed there is a delay in between pausing a workflow and setting one live. Usually the paused workflow will stay “live” for a sometime.

Messages from partner using Gmail keep going to spam, despite being marked Not Spam multiple times

A partner company uses a Gmail address to contact us, and those messages have been routed to our Intercom spam folder, despite being marked Not Spam multiple times. How can we prevent this and ensure their messages are seen by our team?

How to improve ranking in Intercom appstore

However, we did not get any users and we noticed that our ranking in the appstore is quite low. So I am wondering if anybody can share some tips about improving the appstore ranking?Thanks in advance!

Controlling when carousels can appear in React Native SDK

I've noticed that carousels (the automatic ones, meaning one controlled by our marketing team triggered based off user properties) render in our android app before app loading is completed. When app loading does complete, they dismiss themselves. So, they become basically unusable.We use the react native SDK.I didn't see any methods that I could use to control the lifecycle to disable it until app loading has completed. I don't want to have to rely on programmatically launching them since it kind of limits our growth team's capabilities.Any recommendations? I know that there’s a way to manually show articles by using the ID, but I’d love to be able to use this out-of-the-box platform-y set up that can enable our marketing team to use articles without engineering’s involvement. Haven’t been able to figure out from the documentation whether there’s a way to control the lifecycle.
