Phone set up- Call forwarding settings

I need urgent assistance regarding a critical issue. In the previous version of my workflow, I had the call forwarding option set up with my Switch number. While the support team is currently addressing how to utilize the Switch option in the workflow, I've attempted to create a basic workflow for incoming customer calls. However, my workflow is encountering a problem where calls are being disconnected, indicating that they have been switched.I urgently need to remove the number from the call forwarding settings, but I'm unsure how to proceed as the call forwarding in my workflow has been removed by the support team and now there is not way for me to go back and edit or remove the number. This issue is critical, and the forwarding number must be removed to resolve the disconnection problem. Additionally, as I work on a new workflow, calls to the designated number are still getting disconnected, with the message indicating that they have been switched. Any guidance on resolving these is

Android unreadConversationCountListener not working after a login

Hello,I’m implementing your SDK on an Android app and I’m facing an issue regarding the unreadConversationCountListener method.After a login, if my user doesn’t have any unread message and I send him a new one from the admin dashboard, the listener receive nothing.For it to work, I need to close and reopen the app but if I logout and login again, the same issue appear.If there is already a message unread when I login, the listener is working and directly send me the correct amount.I tried to move the listener in different places, before the login, after it, at the creation of the app, … but nothing change.I didn’t found directly this issue because it appears only after my pipeline build the app and send it to my Firebase App Distribution.I thought that was because of proguard but I put the rules found in your documentation.Let me know if you need more informations.Thank you

Impossible to update archived contacts?

I’m running into a problem when attempting to sync contacts from our platform. Currently I’m doing the following:Call the contacts/search endpoint, searching by email address If Contact is found, update it If Contact is not found, attempt to create itI’m occasionally getting the following error on step #3:An archived contact matching those details already exists with id=123456 I cannot search for Contact 123456 in the UI. If I attempt to GET the Contact through the API, I get an error “User Not Found”.I cannot blindly update the Contact because I don’t know their Intercom ID, and that’s the only way to call an update that I can find.So how do I locate and update these archived records?

Closed Conversations

Is there a way to see who closed a conversation? When looking at employees Intercoms it shows the conversation was closed but does not list who closed it.

Using Scribe in Intercom?

Has anyone ever successfully integrated a Scribe (scribehow.com) into an Intercom knowledge article? I can use HTML but I’d rather it have the look and feel of an embed snippet.

Get messenger to suggest articles without fin

Hi team, Is it possible to get Messenger to suggest articles based on what customers ask in the chat WITHOUT using fin? Sort of like a deflection scenario with the first question that the user asks? For example, if the user writes in the chat, “I need help transferring ownership of my account”, is it possible to have the chat suggest articles based on keywords in that message, but without using fin? After the suggested articles, it should be possible for the customer to select to talk to an agent.

There isn't an option on inbox rules to make sure an incoming email is "not spam"?

Our website enquiry form is sent over to intercom as an email however Intercom is flagging 100% of these emails as spam. No rules seem to override this, even if we set successfully filters to tag the email, assign it to a team etc, the email still goes to spam. We NEED the ability to set a filter to NOT set it as spam as we know it's not. Standard option in a normal email client like Gmail. Lacking control of spam filtering in Intercom, no options to control. Too basic. (+ The add topic option on this form to submit question does not work BTW)

Exporting Intercom Conversations in JSON to Amazon S3

If I export my Intercom conversations as JSON to Amazon S3, will the export include all my conversation content (specifically the full text of conversations between my agents and visitors)? Or will it provide the same conversation data that is available on Reports > Data Exports > Tickets > Conversations?

Can I split a conversation into different issues?

When a client shares more that 1 topic per conversation, it would be useful to split the conversation into different issues to close them 1 by 1.

Reopen closed tickets limitations

Dear Community,I would like to inquire if it's possible to adjust our system settings to allow clients to reopen a closed conversation within a six-hour window. Currently, the system permits reopening only with day-long intervals, which is too prolonged for our needs. Post the six-hour period, clients should be required to initiate a new conversation to address distinct issues, ensuring each matter is appropriately tracked.Thank you for your assistance!Best regards,Yuval.

Possible to add Conversation Id to email subject? Or otherwise associate email replies with existing Salesforce cases?

Hi! We’re trying to resolve an inconvenience in our Salesforce org where if a customer replies to an Intercom conversation via email, their response creates a new case in Salesforce instead of getting added to the existing case. I could set up a flow in Salesforce to associate these new email responses to their existing case if we could get the conversation Id into the email subject. Is there a way to do this? Or has anyone else found a better way to tackle this in Intercom/Salesforce?

Tracking content showcase clicks

I’m trying to figure out how I track clicks in the content showcase app. It seems from this article: https://www.intercom.com/help/en/articles/5652381-conversational-support-report that those clicks are not calculated in the report. However understanding the helpfulness of that content warrants some level of tracking. How can this be done? I can’t imagine it’s not tracked at all.I’m also worried if it’s not tracked it may add to the “Unserved, stopped seeking support” number. Does anyone know if that is true?

Help desk for Multiple products

Hey! My company only recently started using Intercom, and non of us have prior experience with anything similar. We currently have 2 products we want to use it for - one being free-to-use, visitor only website (on its own URL), and one being a client-only portal (separate URL as well). In the future, we might have more.We would like to know within the help desk which product the message is coming from (or in other words - is it a free user from URL 1, or one of our paying customers from URL 2). We’d love to make this scalable, so it’s easy to add new products in the future. What’s your recommendation on achieving this?

How to stop automatic assignment to teammate after reply to conversation?

Emails via a workflow come to my Team. These emails are not assigned to any teammate. When replies are sent to these emails, they get automatically assigned to a teammate. I want to stop this automatic assignment on reply. I want the conversation to remain only assigned to the Team not to any teammate. How can I achieve this?

I am unable to run any lldb debugger commands with intercom because I get the following error: warning: Swift error in scratch context: error: compiled module was created by a different version of the compiler '5.9.0.128.108'; rebuild 'Intercom' and try again: Intercom Aside from this, the app builds fine. Its just super annoying because I can no longer debug I am using Intercom 16.6.0

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
