Shared by Mark • January 16, 2024

Your Intercom reporting data is now organized into various reporting datasets. Each dataset comprises a set of metrics and attributes, which you can utilize to create charts and reports.

Here's what's new in this release:

  • We have restructured our reporting data into 9 datasets, providing you with a well-organized and thoroughly documented view of all reporting metrics and attributes.
  • Several metrics now feature net new attributes for enhanced filtering and segmentation, as attributes within a dataset are now available to all its metrics.
  • We've enriched our datasets by introducing 21 net new attributes, all accessible through our innovative chart drill-in feature.
  • To simplify chart creation, we have updated the names of some existing attributes, making it easier for you to decide which ones to use

Shared by Sze • January 16, 2024

You can now link items in bulk to a Tracker ticket, instead of having to manually link them one by one. 💪

Linking related items to a Tracker ticket is useful for cases like bugs, feature requests and incidents. They help:

  • Create a single source of truth by managing all conversations with a single ticket.
  • Make collaboration easier by getting all teams to work from the same ticket, solving issues faster and ensuring no one misses an update.
  • Close the loop with customers easily and save time by updating all affected customers simultaneously.

We’re already seeing a big impact on resolution rates—with some customers seeing up to 17pp improvements.

This is live now for all Fin users!
