Role bases brand restrictions

I’m wanting to set up different brands so when a client emails a specific email, it assigns to that brand, and it’s that email that is the default email. My issue is, I’m wanting to set role or individual restrictions on who can reply to certain brands. Im not find any help articles or post about this. Is this possible?

Prevent Fin From Resolving Conversations

Hi, I had a quick query but can see any answer or similar query. I want my custom answers used only. It seems I may need to activate FIN Ai which is fine, but I dont really need it to resolve my customers queries for me, I would like to know if there is a way to prevent Fin from resolving conversations?

Spam/Marketing Emails

Hello!  I have put in a lot of work the last couple months to optimize our Intercom Workspace as well as Fin AI. We are seeing great results with our AI optimization (15% increase in resolution rates and a 21% decrease un unaswered questions!). I typically monitor the unassigned inbox to identify conversations that did not get routed through a workflow and then I add logic/configurations to ensure it doesn’t happen again. Everything is flowing as it should, except we continue to get spam/marketing emails to unassigned very consistently. Typically these are not assigned to a team and I just close them out. My question is, how do others handle these types of emails or conversations? Is there a way to do this with Fin but not use our resolutions? I want to maximize our teammate efficiency so I don’t want them to route to a team inbox where they spend time simply closing the conversations.  Any insight or recommendations are appreciated!

Slack Notifications "Participant Added"

When receiving a message in Intercom and then a Slack notification, half the time we will see “[Customer] started a new conversation” then block quote the body of the textThen the other half of the time we just get“Received participant added notification”Support wasn’t really helpful and said it’s been backlogged, but I see there is a post from over a year ago asking about this. No interest in Zapier, as when the notifications are working, it is as desired.

Using Brands as a way to Support a sales team

For context: We are a brokerage service. We have been using intercom for over 4 years for the support team only. We have a support email which is our default email, and intercom works great for the support team.  The past month we have moved all our brokers into intercom and we are struggling to optimise their workflows. They have come from only using Gmail. So each broker (10) have direct email address that their clients email. We have a team of about 5 success team member, who assist the brokers in managing their inboxes 24/7.  Some of the issues we’ve encountered are:Escalating in to support, and whilst the client waits for support they continue to email in the same thread which requires the brokers attention.  When starting an outbound email it defaults to the support email instead of their own.  Too many macros and Tags We have group emails Transactions/verification and clients email these (when they really shouldn’t) with order requests, and with our Salesforce integration we mad

Can macros be exported into a CSV file?

For training purposes, we would like to export macros into a sheet or a CSV so that new teammates can use a Ctrl-F to find keywords. This would help them find keyword, not just in the macro title, but also the body text , and get up to speed quicker on our common replies. I'm wondering if we'd need to manually create a spreadsheet or if there is a faster way to pull this info from Intercom!

Customer conversations started within a back-office ticket are not actually being sent.

When trying to create a new linked customer conversation through a back-office ticket, the new conversation will open up and we can change the subject and content of the message as usual, but when we hit Send, the message disappears, the subject line changes back to the default subject, and nothing actually gets sent to our customer. I have tried this across multiple tickets and customers. This issue only began this morning.

Ticket Status Doesn't Change when Customer Replies

Hello! I’ve noticed that when a customer replies to a ticket, that the status will remain Resolved for instance. Shouldn’t the status change back to In progress perhaps?

Can I automate the download to S3 of the calculated metrics per conversation file that I see in the Report Creation section?

Can I automate the download of the calculated metrics per conversation file to S3, as shown in the Report Creation section? Just to clarify, I’m referring specifically to the metrics data displayed on the report dashboard—for phone calls, emails, and chats—not the raw conversation data. I’ve already reviewed the document about exporting raw data to S3.

SLA reporting for tickets

SLA’s in custom reports are very limiting. We support 2 types of technologies. To track which, we use Ticket Attributes. Product A or Product B. I want to run a report on how many tickets of Product A missed their SLA, simple.I can’t though, when I create the report and select ANY SLA related filter, all ticket attribute filters are gone. Due to the complexity of the products our support teams heavily rely on Ticket Attributes and our customers rely on us to respond in a timely fashion.How can this be resolved?

Use of side conversations with 3rd party support tools

Hello all, we have a number of use-cases where we need to engage with 3rd parties for “shared customers” in a form of “ticket sharing”.Current practice is to use a side-conversation and trigger an email (which is likely a conversation part) to that 3rd party, and then responses from that 3rd party link back to the side conversation.Whilst the above sort of works, it is not the most intuitive experience as it is not obvious that there has been a response (you have to open each ticket, navigate to side conversation, see a traffic light indicating a new email).The bigger challenge is this does not consistently work (it does with Zendesk as it was levelling feature to match what they do), but does not for SPRINKLR and Service Cloud where the responses to side conversations create a whole new disconnected conversation, resulting in additional handling and bringing together of conversations.Has anyone done much work on how to connect 3rd party systems and “share tickets”? Is side conversatio

How do you keep track of conversation topics without manually tagging conversations?

I'm curious to learn how some companies using Intercom keep track of conversation topics or common query themes without having to manually tag each conversation.We occasionally need to pull reports for customers to highlight common questions or trends, and I'm looking for ways to make this process more efficient.Would love to hear any best practices or tools you recommend!
