Intercom Changelog & Release Notes | Product Updates
Stop button lets you stop manual in-app messages from sending
Hit "Send” too soon? Offering a discount for a limited time? Whatever the case, the “Stop” button for manual in-app messages prevents a message from sending to additional users.
- The number under “Audience” shows the number of people who match the rules for the message
- “Sent” shows the number of people who have received the message
- Stopped messages cannot be put back live
This feature was previously available but had to be removed temporarily.
Send push messages at the perfect times with Delivery Windows
You can now use Delivery Windows to set specific hours and days for when an automated push message should send. This allows you to notify each mobile user at the optimal time based on their time zone ( i.e. not 3am on Tuesday 😴 ).
Delivery Windows are available on Engage Standard. If you're not already using our mobile SDKs, check out our documentation to learn how to install them in your iOS and Android apps.
Find articles faster with search 🔎
It’s now easy to quickly find a particular article that you want to make an edit to or simply check how it’s performing.
We've added a new tools dashboard to the Developer Hub so it's easier to find everything you need to use the Intercom API.
Tools such as OAuth, Access Tokens, and webhooks now live here alongside all our API documentation and guides.
Simply click on the Developer Tools link in your app settings or visit developers.intercom.com and click on 'Dashboard'.
We've added the ability to create and update large numbers of Leads through our Bulk API, in addition to Events and Users, making it much easier and faster to programmatically update your data.
You can get started with bulk Lead operations right away and they'll be added to our SDKs soon – in the meantime you can follow this guide for using them alongside our SDKs.
Help customers help themselves when they get in touch
If you're using Educate alongside Respond, now when a user starts a new conversation via the Messenger inside your app, we’ll automatically encourage them to visit your Help Center. This allows them to help themselves while they wait for your team to reply.
The auto responder is smart about who it messages and when—you can read more about how the responder works here.
Currently, this is only available to apps where the default language is English (localization for other languages coming soon). This is just the first step towards making help content automatically available through the Messenger 🚀—stay tuned!
Audience:
We've made creating visitor auto messages faster and more reliable.
You'll find the new flow is similar to creating user auto messages:
- Define your target audience using rules
- Message: Compose your message, select who it's sent from, choose who should get the replies, and how it's delivered
- Goal: Set your goal for the message
- Review: Set it live 🚀
We’re so excited to release a brand new product, Educate. It's what a knowledge base should be–personal and intelligent.
We built Educate to work seamlessly with our help desk product, Respond. It uses AI to automatically suggest help articles for you to share with customers, based on your conversation history, right from your team inbox.
Try it free and start scaling your support by giving your customers a way to help themselves.
We're just getting started. There are plenty of updates on the way!
