Fin can now send emails from a custom email address

Kim avatar
Shared by Kim • May 27, 2025

You can now configure Fin to send email replies from a specified address within your company’s domain, e.g. fin@yourcompany.com or support@yourcompany.com

This provides greater flexibility in managing your email settings and means that, if you are using Fin over email, Teammate replies are no longer limited to being sent from the ‘inbound address’.

Please note that Fin’s email address must be verified and have automatic forwarding enabled, so that emails sent to this address are routed into Intercom, where Fin can read and reply to them.

A new, secure way to authenticate Messenger users — with JWTs

Penny-Merelle avatar
Shared by Penny-Merelle • May 21, 2025

We’ve introduced a new way to authenticate users in the Messenger, using JSON Web Tokens (JWTs).

This update replaces the previous Identity Verification (IdV) method with features designed to protect user data.

With JWTs, you benefit from:

Data protection — Sign and protect both user ID and email, along with any other user attributes.

Short-lived tokens — JWTs can be set to expire, reducing the risk of misuse for compromised tokens.

If you’re using Identity Verification, migrate to JWTs to benefit from these improvements. Identity Verification will continue to work, but is considered deprecated and will not receive future updates.

You’ll find the new JWT configuration in the Security tab within your Messenger settings.

Shared by Zoe • May 09, 2025

Get more control over Fin's behavior by customizing guidance for different audiences. When setting up guidance, you can now select Audiences to target specific customer segments. This ensures that Fin only uses guidance for users who match the selected audience, and ignores it for those who don’t—resulting in more accurate and tailored answers.

Head to Fin Guidance in your workspace to explore the latest improvements.

Shared by Kim • May 09, 2025

You can now manage the ‘Powered by Intercom’ link in the footer of your emails and Help Center articles from within Email settings.

This option used to be in Messenger settings, but it’s now in a more relevant place.

To switch it on or off, go to Email settings and look for the ‘Link to Intercom website’ toggle.

Note: This setting applies to both email footers and Help Center articles. It’s not currently possible to have the link switched on in one and off in the other.

Email verification for Data Connectors with One-Time Passcode

Pavel avatar
Shared by Pavel • May 08, 2025

Fin now protects sensitive operations by verifying customers’ email addresses with a one-time passcode before retrieving or updating data in external systems. Fin sends a code to the customer’s email, and once entered in the conversation, completes the Data Connector — ensuring only users who verified their email can access or update information.

Shared by Colin • May 01, 2025

You can now:

  • Bcc email addresses into email conversations, to aid internal communication and streamline workflows while ensuring privacy.
  • See and control who is in the ‘To’, ‘Cc’ and ‘Bcc’ field of emails sent from the inbox.
  • Put multiple people in each field.

Please note: Bcc’d addresses don’t count as conversation participants as they’re invisible to everyone else on the email, so won’t be included in any replies.
