Hi there! We’ve updated our plans to allow you to enforce strong authentication controls and have visibility into teammate activity on your workspace. All plans now include:

Hi there! For the support interactions that your team handles over email, you can now choose to remove the conversation history from the email thread. This means that only the message itself will be shown to the recipients. By removing the history, each message will appear cleaner and more readable, making it easier for both customers and Support teammates to parse through and respond.

Hi there! The latest version of our API has been released:

• We introduced webhook topic support for all Outbound Message events across all content types in Intercom, such as Emails, Custom Bots, Surveys, and more.
• We added several new Admin, Conversation, Company and Contact topics. You can now sync Intercom changes across CRM tools like Salesforce, HubSpot and Pipedrive.
• We introduced improvements to Conversation API: improved pagination, better request payload type consistency and higher granularity when it comes to conversations part types.
• Our API now allows deletion of archived contacts. Previously, an archived contact needed to be unarchived before being deleted.
