Use the conversation rating to take action in Workflows

Mark avatar
Shared by Mark • March 04, 2024

Until now, Workflows would continue as soon as a Conversation rating (CSAT) survey was delivered—regardless of whether a customer had given a rating.

Now, you're able to Wait for customers to give a rating before continuing the Workflow—making it possible to branch your Workflows based on a customer's rating of the conversation.

With the new Wait for a conversation rating and the Conversation rating attribute, you can direct customers to different teams, request a review, or take various other steps, all based on their rating.

Shared by Andrea • March 01, 2024

To help more teams check and respond to customer feedback on the go, we’ve enabled SAML SSO for the Intercom Conversations mobile app on iOS and Android.

This will work for your account if you have SAML SSO available on your current pricing plan, and a SAML provider (like Okta or OneLogin) configured on your Intercom Workspace.

Sort items by when they were started in chat layout

Shared by Andrea • March 01, 2024

Sorting conversations and tickets in the order they started can now be done from chat layout with two new sort options – Started first, and Started last.

Previously only available in table layout, these sorting options will show a list of items that won't change position. That can make it easier for fast moving teams to keep track of which conversations they want to reply to first e.g. you can more easily take a 'first come first serve' approach.

Link tooltips in email conversations

Andrea avatar
Shared by Andrea • March 01, 2024

From today you will see tooltips for links in inbound emails to make it easier for you to preview them. Images will also contain a link icon to make it more obvious that they're linked.

Where links are trusted (Intercom owned domains) the link icon and tooltips will appear on a white background.

When untrusted, they’ll appear on an orange background, and you’ll see a warning icon instead of a link icon. You’ll also see an orange overlay on top of the image that will disappear on hover, allowing you to see the full image.

When clicking on an untrusted link, you’ll see a quick warning page. This page shows you the full URL of the link and ensures you’re able to review the full link before opening it.

These changes should make it easier to spot links in inbound emails and check for any malicious or phishing URLs.

Tracker tickets in Workflows and other ticket workflow improvements 💪

Shared by Sze • January 26, 2024

Automating ticket actions in Workflows helps your team save time and streamlines your ticket processes.

Here are some improvements we’ve made to ticket actions in Workflows:

  1. Tracker tickets can now be used in Workflows, expanding their application beyond Back-office tickets and Customer tickets only.
  2. More intuitive ticket workflow set up. You now have the ability to directly target Customer tickets, Back-office tickets, or Tracker tickets when configuring a trigger. This is easier than the previous method where conditions needed to be added to target a ticket category correctly.
