Link tooltips in email conversations

Andrea avatar
Shared by Andrea • March 01, 2024

From today you will see tooltips for links in inbound emails to make it easier for you to preview them. Images will also contain a link icon to make it more obvious that they're linked.

Where links are trusted (Intercom owned domains) the link icon and tooltips will appear on a white background.

When untrusted, they’ll appear on an orange background, and you’ll see a warning icon instead of a link icon. You’ll also see an orange overlay on top of the image that will disappear on hover, allowing you to see the full image.

When clicking on an untrusted link, you’ll see a quick warning page. This page shows you the full URL of the link and ensures you’re able to review the full link before opening it.

These changes should make it easier to spot links in inbound emails and check for any malicious or phishing URLs.

Tracker tickets in Workflows and other ticket workflow improvements 💪

Sze avatar
Shared by Sze • January 26, 2024

Automating ticket actions in Workflows helps your team save time and streamlines your ticket processes.

Here are some improvements we’ve made to ticket actions in Workflows:

  1. Tracker tickets can now be used in Workflows, expanding their application beyond Back-office tickets and Customer tickets only.
  2. More intuitive ticket workflow set up. You now have the ability to directly target Customer tickets, Back-office tickets, or Tracker tickets when configuring a trigger. This is easier than the previous method where conditions needed to be added to target a ticket category correctly.

You can now link items in bulk to a Tracker ticket, instead of having to manually link them one by one. 💪

  • Create a single source of truth by managing all conversations with a single ticket.
  • Make collaboration easier by getting all teams to work from the same ticket, solving issues faster and ensuring no one misses an update.
