With our new granular email subscription settings, you can give your customers the ability to receive the types of emails they want, but unsubscribe from those they don’t.

You can now define your workspace’s email subscription types or use preset categories. When creating an email in Intercom, you can classify its subscription type, and any end users that have opted out of that specific subscription type will be automatically excluded from receiving the email.

To get started, navigate to the new subscription types section of your Outbound settings. From here, you can manage your workspace’s email subscription types - whether you want to use our presets, or create your own.

When creating an email, you can now apply a subscription type.

When a subscription type is applied to an email, end users will no longer see “Unsubscribe from our emails” in the footer. Instead, they’ll now see “Unsubscribe from this list”. Clicking this will unsubscribe them from that specific subscription type only.

You can now trigger messages in real-time whenever your customers take an action in your product that you’re tracking as an event in Intercom.

With this feature, you can choose whether your message should be sent to users only once, or every time the event is triggered and they match the audience rules. What’s more, you can incorporate the metadata from the event into the message to give it a personal touch.

Use this to send relevant and timely recurring messages such as:

• Account activity notifications like subscription renewals and password resets
• Purchase confirmations and status updates
• Inactivity reminders when you notice customers are slipping away
• Greetings to viewers of your pricing page, no matter how many times they visit
• ...and so much more

You can also choose to limit the resending frequency and the maximum number of times they can receive the message. By default, users will not be eligible to receive the same message more than once per hour.

You can create a more consistent experience for customers– and your team–when providing support on Facebook and Twitter. Previously, the support workflows that you set up for messaging, didn’t work the same with our social integrations, or were missing. But, that changes today:

1️⃣Any replies to Facebook or Twitter conversations closed for 5+ days, will start a new conversation. This enables your Inbox rules, SLAs, and reporting to work correctly.

2️⃣Reply times will now trigger on Facebook and Twitter as well, so that you can automatically set the right support expectations, wherever your customers are.

3️⃣You can also automatically collect CSAT on Facebook and Twitter, which helps you understand and benchmark the quality of your support across channels.

Sharing reply times and CSAT, Facebook and Twitter will use the same Task Bot that you have enabled for the Messenger. To learn more about providing support on social, see our Facebook and Twitter help articles.

You can now create webhooks as actions in Series. Use webhooks to trigger actions or workflows in other apps, for example:

• Keeping customer data up-to-date across your other systems
• Sending users to your ad delivery system when they’ve reached a specific point in a Series
• Passing data to advanced reporting/visualization tools for more in-depth analysis
