We're excited to announce that we now offer Australian Data Hosting!

Following our launch of European Data Hosting, Australia is the latest location in our Regional Data Hosting program. This means that Australian businesses can now have their customer data processed locally when using Intercom’s platform.

The data that will remain in-region when being processed includes:

  • All Visitor and Contact data collected by the Messenger for a workspace
  • All the Conversation data that happens via the Messenger for a workspace
  • All the data attributes or events a customer collects on their workspace

Our regional data hosting program aims to bring the same great Intercom experience, hosted closer to home.

Improvements to reporting on Articles

LeighAnne avatar
Shared by LeighAnne • April 14, 2022

With our latest release we have improved the reporting available for Articles. A new section called “Search results” shows you what keywords your customers are searching for and how often, the click through rate and average number of articles returned for each keyword, and the performance of those articles. Improvements to the “Article engagement section” now show you the performance of an article over time, positive and neutral reactions in addition to negative reactions, and viewing improvements like filters and toggling between numbers or percentages.
