Set a default outbound phone number for calls and callbacks

Edmund avatar
Shared by Edmund • March 24, 2026

Your team can now pin a default outbound phone number, so every call and callback goes out from the right line — no more switching numbers before dialling.

Teammates can pin their own default directly in the dialler, and admins can set a workspace-wide fallback in Settings > Phone Calls. The system picks the best number automatically: teammate default first, then workspace default, then existing behaviour.

This also extends to callbacks. Enable "Use default outbound number for callbacks" in Settings, and callbacks will follow the same logic — so customers always see a consistent number, even when being called back by a different teammate.

Shared by Robert • March 24, 2026

You can now support your customers directly in Discord. Connect your Discord channels to Intercom and manage conversations from your inbox — messages from Discord automatically appear as conversations, so you can respond seamlessly, right from the Intercom Inbox.

Once connected, your team or Fin can reply to Discord conversations from the Intercom Inbox, keep context in threads, and create tickets — all in one place.

Keep Round Robin running, even when teammates are away

Shared by Andrea • March 20, 2026

Not every team uses Away mode the same way.

Now you can choose whether Round Robin skips away teammates or includes them in the rotation.

Enable "Ignore activity status" in your Round Robin inbox settings to distribute conversations to all teammates regardless of availability status.

Change ticket type without starting over

Shared by Andrea • March 19, 2026

As tickets evolve, now their type can too. An investigation might turn into a confirmed bug, or a ticket may simply land in the wrong category.

You can now change a ticket's type after creation right from the Inbox ticket type dropdown.

The full conversation history and context carry over automatically, and any matching attributes (same name and type) have their values copied across for you.

No need to recreate the ticket or re-enter data.

Require ticket attribute on close

Andrea avatar
Shared by Andrea • March 19, 2026

Ensure every ticket is complete before being closed by an agent. You can now mark specific ticket attributes as "required to close" so that when an agent closes a ticket with missing fields, they'll be prompted to fill them in first.

  • Configure in Settings - mark any custom ticket attribute as required to close
  • Guided completion - agents see a clear prompt for missing fields at the point of closing
  • Works everywhere - supports single and bulk close across customer tickets, back-office tickets, and trackers

Security & Settings

Redact sensitive data in conversations with custom rules

Thibault avatar
Shared by Thibault • March 12, 2026

Incoming messages are now automatically scanned and redacted before they're stored — so sensitive data never reaches your database or your teammates' screens.

What's new:

  • Built-in rules for common identifiers — credit card numbers (last 4 digits preserved) and SSNs (fully masked), ready to enable out of the box.
  • Custom regex rules — Create up to 10 rules to redact business-specific data like policy numbers or account IDs. Custom matches are fully masked.
  • Works across channels — Web Messenger, mobile SDKs, inbound email, and call transcripts.

Redaction happens at ingest and is irreversible — matched content is overwritten before it's stored, so the original data is never retained.

Data Connectors

More visibility, flexibility, and reliability for Data Connectors

Steve avatar
Shared by Steve • February 26, 2026

We’ve shipped three major improvements to make Data Connectors easier to manage and more reliable at scale.

🔍 Action dependency visibility
You can now see exactly where each Data Connector action is used across workflows, procedures, tasks, macros, and custom answers — with a new “Used by” column for safer edits and cleanup.

📊 Built-in health monitoring
A new “Health” column shows whether each connector is Healthy, Degraded, or Unhealthy based on success rate and latency — with detailed metrics to help diagnose issues quickly.

🔑 Multiple tokens per connector
Data Connectors now support attaching multiple tokens, giving you more flexibility when authenticating with external systems.

Together, these updates give you greater control, safer automation management, and real-time insight into integration performance.

Tickets

Restrict ticket portal visibility to tickets users create

DJ avatar
Shared by DJ • February 26, 2026

You can now control what end users see in the Tickets Portal.

Previously, users could view all tickets associated with their company. This new setting lets you restrict each user’s view to only the tickets they created.

This gives you greater control over the end-user experience and enables a more individual, user-focused Tickets Portal — ideal for teams that want clearer ownership, privacy, and simplicity for customers.

Search and duplicate Inbox views

Andrea avatar
Shared by Andrea • February 25, 2026

We’ve made two improvements to using Inbox views:

  • Teammates can now duplicate existing Views with a single click. A new duplicate icon appears next to the edit/pin icons when hovering over a View in the left nav.
  • Teammates can now also search within Views, without having to recreate view filters in order to narrow down search results
