Let Fin wait for external systems before continuing

Sze avatar
Shared by Sze • July 24, 2026

Until now, if a Procedure depended on an external system — an identity check, a payment, a bank linking flow — Fin had no way to wait for it. It either had to hand off or leave the customer hanging.

Wait for Webhook changes that. Fin pauses mid-procedure while a third-party service does its work, then resumes automatically when it reports back — picking up exactly where it left off, with no manual handoff.

  • Pause and resume — Fin holds at the right point in the Procedure, waits for the external system, and continues as soon as it gets the signal.
  • Automatic escalation — If the external system doesn't respond in time, Fin escalates to a teammate automatically — so the customer is never left waiting.

Help Center

A faster, modern design for your Help Center

Dhinta avatar
Shared by Dhinta • July 23, 2026

Every click in the classic Help Center reloads the full page, and there's no easy way to move between collections — so customers spend longer finding answers than they should.

The Modern Help Center fixes this with a persistent sidebar that keeps your collections and articles in view, breadcrumbs for easy navigation, and app-like page transitions that load instantly.

The overall layout is cleaner and more docs-style, without changing any of your content, logo, colours, or fonts.

The switch is opt-in per Help Center, and you can revert to the classic design at any time.

Fin for Sales now books meetings with Chili Piper

Sabrina avatar
Shared by Sabrina • July 22, 2026

Fin for Sales can now book qualified meetings directly via Chili Piper, without the lead ever leaving the conversation. Chili Piper joins Calendly and Hubspot Meetings as a supported provider.

If you're already using Chili Piper, setup takes just a few clicks. Fin then shows live availability, collects any required information, and books the meeting directly in the conversation.

Messenger

Voice transcription in the Messenger

Piotr avatar
Shared by Piotr • July 22, 2026

Until now, starting a conversation with Fin meant typing out your whole question. Now you can dictate your message by voice — in both the Messenger and Spotlight Messenger — and your speech is transcribed straight into the draft, so you can describe your issue naturally and hands-free.

Tap the mic in the composer, start talking, and the transcription appears ready to review, edit, and send. No setup required.

Reporting

See how much time conversations spend snoozed

Muhammad avatar
Shared by Muhammad • July 21, 2026

Snoozed conversations slip out of view, and it's hard to know how long they sit parked or how much that inflates resolution time. Two new metrics in Custom Reports now measure it: the average length of a single snooze, and the total time a conversation spends snoozed across its entire history.

Break the numbers down by team, teammate, and time period to catch conversations being parked rather than closed, and to set clearer resolution targets. Worth leading with the median — a few conversations parked for days can pull the average up. Add either metric from the metric picker in any custom report.

Phone

Use your own business numbers as caller ID

Elizabeth avatar
Shared by Elizabeth • July 20, 2026

You can now verify any business phone number you own, including numbers that can't be ported in, and use it as the caller ID your customers see on outbound calls.

A single verified caller ID can be connected to multiple phone lines, and each phone line can use one caller ID at a time. To get started, add and verify your phone number in your calling settings.

See answered, missed, and abandoned calls in Custom Reports

Stephen avatar
Shared by Stephen • July 17, 2026

Reporting on phone calls used to mean building charts by hand, and the outcome numbers didn't always agree. Custom Reports now includes answered, missed, and abandoned call metrics — calculated consistently across every view, and correct for teammates with restricted access.

Every inbound call lands in one of three buckets: answered, abandoned, or voicemail. The prebuilt Calls report shows these as summary counters and a per-teammate breakdown, so you can start from the template and see results straight away.

Inbox
New

Give teammates time to wrap up on chat and email

Marek avatar
Shared by Marek • July 17, 2026

Until now, protected wrap-up time only existed on phone. On chat and email, teammates were assigned the next conversation the moment they closed or replied — so the only way to finish their notes was to go fully Away and drop every live conversation at once.

Now you can extend wrap-up time to chat and email. When a teammate closes or hands off a conversation, that freed slot is held for a window you set, giving them time to finish their after-conversation work before new work lands. Their other conversations carry on as normal.

It's off by default and can be turned on per channel. Set it up under Settings → Inbox → Assignments → Workload management.

Outbound Messaging
Messages

Send SMS from a specific number in each country

Marcus avatar
Shared by Marcus • July 17, 2026

You can now add multiple SMS numbers in the same country and choose exactly which one each message sends from.

When messaging a customer individually, pick the number to send from. When bulk messaging, pick one number per country — Intercom filters your audience to match automatically.

Incoming replies can be routed by the number they arrived on, so regional teams stay organised without sharing a single queue.

Per-teammate office hours in reporting

Fábio avatar
Shared by Fábio • July 17, 2026

Until now, Reporting graded every teammate's first response time against a single workspace-default schedule — even when a teammate's real hours were different, inflating their numbers. This affects any distributed team: a teammate in Sydney measured against New York hours, or someone on a shorter shift than the rest of their team.

Now you can assign an office-hours schedule to each teammate, and Reporting automatically measures their responsiveness against the right hours. It falls back from their own schedule to their team's, then the workspace default — so the right schedule always applies.

Assign schedules in bulk or individually from the new Teammate schedules tab in Office Hours settings. An Effective schedule column shows exactly which hours each teammate is measured against.
