You'll be able to:

  • Set up redirects when importing content from another help center.
  • Make articles easily identifiable by adding a friendly alias to them.
  • Add ‘301 - Moved Permanently’ redirects under the hood, seamlessly redirecting from old paths or aliases to your existing content within your help center domain.

Additionally, teammates can now add, edit and delete redirects to either articles or collections.

Better tickets for your team and your customers

Nadine avatar
Shared by Nadine • September 05, 2023

We’ve redesigned tickets to help your team solve any type of complex issue faster and more effectively than ever before.

Intercom now offers three ticket categories. Each uniquely designed for a specific use case.

  • Customer tickets - When your team needs more time to work on issues, use Customer tickets to capture, track and automatically share progress with the customer.
  • Back-office tickets - When a support agent needs to work with back-office teams to resolve an issue, create a linked Back-office ticket from a conversation for seamless collaboration.
  • Tracker tickets - Streamline problems impacting many customers, such as bugs, service interruptions, and feature requests.

Give your customers full transparency on ticket updates through improved ticket email notifications.

These will include all key ticket attributes that you've set as visible to customers, and will be collapsed when the information isn't relevant.

Ticket and conversation updates can also now be managed separately in email settings, giving you the flexibility in how you want to communicate.
