React to admin notes with emoji

DJ avatar
Shared by DJ • June 02, 2026

Internal notes are how your team passes context inside a conversation — handoffs, acknowledgements, quick questions. Now you can:

• React to a teammate's note with an emoji instead of replying with another note

• Filter your Mentions inbox by Reactions to catch up on what your team's signaled on

Tap the smiley icon on any admin note to add a reaction, or tap an existing reaction badge to add yours.

SLAs now work with phone conversation

Artem avatar
Shared by Artem • May 28, 2026

You can now apply SLAs to inbound phone calls — so your team knows exactly what they're aiming for, and whether they're hitting it.

  • Set targets in workflows — Add an Apply SLA step to any phone workflow and choose a speed-of-answer target. The timer starts the moment the Apply SLA step runs in your workflow and stops when a teammate answers the call.
  • Track status in the inbox — Each phone conversation shows its SLA status, so your team can see immediately which calls are on track and which need attention.
  • Measure performance in reporting — Phone SLA data appears in your existing SLA reports alongside chat and ticket SLAs — track met rates, miss rates, and performance over time.

Managers can now jump in and coach during live calls

Artem avatar
Shared by Artem • May 27, 2026

Supervisors and team leads can now step into live calls — visibly or invisibly — with two new Intercom Phone tools.

Join call (Barge) — When your team needs backup, join the call instantly. Confirm, and you're on — already up to speed because you've been listening the whole time. No scrambling, no back-channel messages.

Coach (Whisper) — Prefer to guide without interrupting? Speak directly to your teammate while they're on a call — your voice reaches only them, the customer hears nothing. Switch in and out as needed, without disrupting the call.

Control whether agents can see CSAT scores in conversations

Sergi avatar
Shared by Sergi • May 27, 2026

When CSAT scores are visible in the inbox, they can subtly shape how teammates respond. Workspace Admins can now hide CSAT ratings from the conversation stream entirely.

All CSAT data continues flowing to reporting as normal — nothing is lost, just kept out of view.

Enable it in Settings → General.

WhatsApp Voice Note Replies from the Inbox

Rohit avatar
Shared by Rohit • May 14, 2026

Teammates can now record and send voice notes directly from the Intercom inbox when replying to WhatsApp conversations.

Record a message, preview it before sending, and your customer receives it as a native WhatsApp voice message — just like they'd get from any other WhatsApp contact.

Voice notes are automatically transcribed for search, export, and AI context.

Reporting

Average Adjusted Handling Time

Faiz avatar
Shared by Faiz • May 07, 2026

Average Adjusted Handling Time (AAHT) measures the time a teammate is actively handling a conversation, the clock runs from when they first open it, pauses whenever they switch to other work, and resumes when they come back. Each conversation's handling time now reflects time actually spent on that conversation.

  • Pause on conversation switch: the clock stops when a teammate switches to a different conversation and resumes when they return.
  • Optional pause on teammate away: Admins can also pause AAHT when a teammate is automatically set to away due to inactivity. This uses an inactivity toggle in Settings.
  • Public API for handling events: A new endpoint that returns the underlying pause/resume events for a conversation along with pause reasons.

Data Connectors

Data Connector Improvements

David avatar
Shared by David • May 05, 2026

Our redesigned Data Connector experience brings together everything you need (setup, security, monitoring, versioning, APIs), so you can successfully configure data connectors.

  • New configuration flow — The redesigned configuration experience simplifies API setup, data transformation, Fin configuration, and security controls, so you can reliably deliver the right data to Helpdesk and Fin.
  • Security enhancements — Ensure every data connector is built secure by default. Your platform-wide authentication rules are applied by default, and potential security risks are surfaced clearly alongside practical recommendations on how to manage them.
  • Reporting — Evaluate the impact and health of each data connector. A dedicated dashboard outlines usage, success rate, latency (Intercom vs. external), error types, and more. Monitor trends over time and dive into detailed execution logs to pinpoint opportunities for improvement.
  • Versioning — Iterate on your data connectors without breaking workflows. Every change is captured, giving you visibility into when the change happened, who made the change, and why. If an update has unintended consequences, you can roll back in moments.
  • Public APIs — Use the new Configuration API to manage data connectors programmatically, so you can rapidly implement changes. Or use the new Results API to pull detailed execution data, so you can build your own dashboards, integrate with your alerting systems, and more.

Andrea avatar
Shared by Andrea • April 30, 2026

Admins can now choose a date range when exporting macro usage data — no more being limited to the last 30 days. Pick a preset like "Past 6 months" or select a custom date range to get exactly the data you need for quarterly reviews, adoption analysis, or historical comparisons.

  • Choose from presets: Today, Past week, Past 4 weeks, Past 12 weeks, Past 6 months, and more
  • Select a custom date range with the calendar picker — dates beyond 6 months are automatically disabled
  • Exported CSV is emailed to you, just like before — now with your chosen date range as column headers

Version history for Fin Guidance

Sean avatar
Shared by Sean • April 24, 2026

You can now track every change to your Fin Guidance rules with built-in version history. See who changed what and when, add notes to explain why, and restore a previous version if something goes wrong — all without leaving the Guidance editor.

Guidance version history now includes:

  • Full version timeline showing each published version with author, timestamp, and live/paused status
  • Version notes to document what changed and why, prompted when saving or enabling
  • Rollback with one click restore to load any previous version into the editor for review before saving

Channel and audience snapshots are preserved with each version so you can see the full context of past configurations.
