Introducing Articles Views, the new way to manage and organise your articles, just the way you like them.

Say goodbye to the hassle of sifting through a sea of articles to find the ones you need. With Articles Views, you can now create and save custom filtered views of your articles, each tailored to your specific needs and workflows.

Whether you're a small team or a large enterprise, Articles Views can help you streamline your workflows and boost productivity. With the ability to create custom filters based on tags, collections, and more, the options are endless - here are some of our favourites…

  • Organise your articles based on the features or products they relate to by creating views filtered using article tags and collections.
  • Highlight articles that need refreshing or updating by creating a view that filter articles based on when they were last edited.
  • Monitor articles that still need translating by creating that filters articles by their language and status.

You can now discover and manage all channels through the Messenger and Omnichannel hub.

Previously, it was hard to discover the breadth of channels that Intercom offered, because they were distributed between different places. The hub brings all Intercom’s channels into one place, so that you can quickly understand what channels we offer and choose to set up or configure them.

  • Click ‘Messenger and Omnichannel’ on the main left-hand nav
  • View all channels

Shared by Alina • March 09, 2023

Our new features are designed to streamline your onboarding process by making it easier for your customers to complete all necessary checklist steps.

Remind customers about checklists
Nudge customers to complete their checklists by sending timely automated reminders when they’re in the product at a cadence that makes sense for your use case (see image above).

✅ Auto-resolve steps based on company data
Set up auto-resolve of checklists steps based on company data that you're tracking in Intercom. Once a step has been finished by one person, it will be marked as completed for everyone who is part of the company. If you sell to businesses, this will make onboarding groups of team members easier, as they will be able to pick up checklists where others have left off.

📮 See checklists progress from the Inbox
Give frontline teams context on how customers are progressing with their checklists in the Inbox to help them understand where they are in the onboarding journey so that they can offer them more support and guidance. To enable, just select Checklists from the list of apps available in the next-gen Inbox.
