Search inside a Messenger conversation

Shab avatar
Shared by Shab •

Previously, finding something you remembered reading in a long Messenger conversation meant scrolling through a long list of messages.

Now, you can Search conversation from the conversation menu to find text in the chat you’re viewing. Every match is highlighted, and you can move between results.

Find the answer or detail you need without losing your place, even in a long conversation with Fin.

Dictate in the Inbox

Vishal avatar
Shared by Vishal •

Teammates can now speak their replies and notes instead of typing them. Click Dictate in the composer, talk for up to two minutes, and your words appear as text at your cursor, ready to edit before you send. Long answers get written faster, and nothing goes to the customer until you've checked it.

New feature
Outbound Messaging

Text customers from the right brand, automatically

Marcus avatar
Shared by Marcus •

If you run multiple brands from one workspace, keeping SMS on-brand used to mean remembering which number belonged to which brand and picking it manually on every send. Now you assign your SMS numbers to a brand once, and Intercom sends from the matching number automatically whenever you pick that brand in the Inbox or Outbound composer.

Replies to a branded number are tagged with that brand automatically. And when Fin responds, it answers from the right brand’s Help Center — not your workspace default.

Macro Admin Mode

Shared by Daniel •

Teammates with the Can manage shared macros permission can now view everyone’s personal macros in Macro settings. From there they can convert a useful one to a shared macro, or delete one that’s out of date. Your best replies get shared, and old ones don’t pile up.

Feature update
Inbox

Send Shopify replacement orders to a new address

Mohamed avatar
Shared by Mohamed •

Customers move, mistype addresses, or want a replacement delivered to work. Teammates can now type a new shipping address right in the Shopify replacement order form in the Inbox, and pick the state or province from Shopify's own list, so the order reaches the warehouse with an address it can ship to. Your customer gets Shopify's order confirmation for the new address, and every replacement is recorded in the Shopify app's Auditing events.

Fill in the blanks when you use a macro

Baraa avatar
Shared by Baraa •

Many teams keep a separate text-expansion tool just to personalize their replies. Macros can now include fill-in fields instead. When a teammate picks a macro, a short form asks for the details, and only the finished reply lands in the composer, ready to review and send.

  • Text, long text and choice fields, each optional or required
  • Optional sections teammates switch on or off
  • A live preview that updates as they type

Teammates can create macros with filed In Settings > Macros, the macro editor has an Insert field control. Or from the inbox, through Cmd+K > Create macro > Using a macro with fill-in fields

Merge duplicate users into one profile

Adisa avatar
Shared by Adisa •

When the same customer ends up with two profiles, their conversations, tickets, and notes are split across both — and teammates lose the full picture. You can now merge one user into another:

  • Merge a duplicate straight from the conversation sidebar, with a preview of everything that will move before you confirm
  • Control who can merge with a new teammate permission
  • Developers can merge users through the REST API (Preview)

Choose bigger Tooltips that are easier to see and click

Yahor avatar
Shared by Yahor •

The default Tooltip icon is small — easy to miss, and difficult to tap for customers with low vision or limited hand movement. You can now set each Tooltip to Small, Medium, or Large.

The size applies to icons, animated beacons, and labels. Medium and Large meet the WCAG 2.2 minimum target size of 24×24 pixels, so your Tooltips work for more of your customers. Existing Tooltips stay the same until you change them.

New feature
Reporting

Build the metric you need, across your full history

Fábio avatar
Shared by Fábio •

Reports covers a lot of ground, but not every team's number is in the built-in set. A closure rate for email only, or a reopen rate on a single tag, wasn't something you could put on a chart. Now you can build it yourself — by applying your own filters to a built-in metric, or by dividing one metric by another with different filters on each side.

Intercom calculates the metric when a chart loads, so anything you create today covers your full history. Custom metrics appear in the metric picker of every chart in your workspace.

Open Reports, then Custom metrics, to build your first one.

New feature
Phone

See why an outbound call didn't connect

Mohib avatar
Shared by Mohib •

Until now, an outbound call that didn't connect showed a generic result, so teammates couldn't tell whether the number was wrong, the line was busy, or the call was blocked.

Calls that don't connect now show a specific reason on the conversation: invalid number, line busy, declined by recipient, blocked by carrier, or region not permitted. If a call can't be placed at all, the teammate who dialled sees a message explaining why.

Your team knows straight away whether to fix the number, or retry later.
