The “Triage customers before Fin” template makes it easier than ever to enable Fin to answer a customer's question while ensuring more complex queries—such as filing bug reports or requesting new features—get turned into a ticket for your team to action before Fin steps in.

How to get started

Start by creating a new workflow, and select the new template:

Click on "Use this template":

Your template will open in the Workflow builder where you can make any desired adjustments before setting Fin live.

We've just released a small improvement to Tags in Workflows.

You can now use Conversation tag in the Audience Rule and Branches of Workflows. 💬

We've also added the Remove person tag action.

The latest version of the Intercom API is live! Here's whats new:

• Enable data attributes to be updated through the Messenger with this flag
  ​
• Access metadata about your AI Agent's performance, including sources used, ratings, resolution state and more
  ​
• Define your own created timestamps for creating and replying to conversations

👉 Try out the API from the docs or Postman collection.

The Messenger home screen will now show conversations and tickets that were recently closed (up to 7 days ago).

This makes it easier for your customers to find all their recent conversations and tickets, and respond if a message is triggered after a conversation has been closed - such as when a CSAT survey is sent.

The release is aimed at helping you boost your CSAT response rate while improving the Messenger customer experience.

No action is required as the change will roll out automatically.

You now have more control over when and where Office Hours and Reply Times are displayed in the Messenger.

In addition to your existing option - displaying general office hours to customers before a conversation is assigned and team-specific times once a conversation is assigned, you can also now:

• Only show office hour and reply times after a conversation has been assigned to a team
• Hide office hours and reply times entirely

These additional options give you greater flexibility to display the right expectations across teams and ensure accuracy when communicating with your customers in the Messenger.

We have also made it easier for you to configure your office hours and reply times. We consolidated the UI to make sure it is easy to understand.

This is now available on Web, iOS (v16.5.0) and Android (v15.6.0).

Our API has received a glow-up ✨ The AI Agent conversation metadata is now available over the API, meaning that you can report on the performance of your AI Agent on your external tools of choice.

What data is included?

• Source that triggered the AI Agent
• Last answer type (AI Answer or Custom Answer)
• Resolution state
• AI Agent conversation rating and remarks
• Content sources used in the conversation (title, type, URL, and language)

Make working across multiple channels in the Help Desk even easier by creating channel-specific views.

With the new channel filter, you can filter conversations and tickets by their initial channel or their current channel.

Create views for items that came in via the Messenger (Web, Android, or iOS), Email, Social Media, (Twitter, Facebook, Facebook Messenger, WhatsApp or Instagram), or Phone (Phone Switch, SMS, or Phone call)

You'll find the option to filter by current or initial channel when creating or editing a view.

To further reduce risk of teammates clicking malicious links from inbound messages, we’ve now expanded link tooltips and warnings to all channels (previously these applied to inbound email).

That means you’ll see tooltips for any links in Help Desk, with untrusted links highlighted in orange.

If you already set up trusted domains or changed link warning settings, these will now apply to all channels.

Teammates with permission to manage security settings can now add trusted domains for inbound emails. This allows teammates to open links from domains you trust without interruption, whilst still staying alert to potential malicious links.

To save you time - we automatically trust your trusted messenger domains, help center domains, link branding domain, and your verified email domains.

You can also now manage link warnings at a workspace level.

Introducing two new ways to improve your IVR Workflows on Intercom.

1. Call Overflow - You can now automatically route calls to a secondary team or configure one of our call deflection options (e.g. forward a call, send call to voicemail) directly on Workflows.
2. Call Rating - We've also introduced a call rating step you can add to your IVR Workflows to help you gather valuable team performance data and customer feedback.
