Hit your resolution time targets with new SLA updates 🎉

Pranava avatar
Shared by Pranava • November 29, 2023

SLAs now work for both conversations and customer tickets!

We've also made a bunch of SLA improvements that will help you and your team hit response and resolution time targets:

  • New resolution metrics: You can now track ‘time to resolve’ SLA metrics for tickets and ‘time to close’ SLA metrics for conversations and tickets.
  • Pausing SLAs: SLAs can now be paused on two states, ‘snoozed’ and ‘waiting on customer’, for more accurate timers and reporting.

  • Overriding SLAs: You can now override an existing SLA and replace it with a new one using workflows.

We've also improved the visibility of all these new metrics in the Inbox and SLAs reporting, including custom reports!

Streamline external collaboration with side conversations

Domingo avatar
Shared by Domingo • October 25, 2023

Start a conversation with external partners from within the context of a conversation or ticket.

When customer issues can't be resolved immediately and require the participation of a partner outside of Intercom, you can now use side conversations to email external partners from within a ticket or conversation.

  • Eliminate tool switching - Teammates handling complex queries can seamlessly communicate with external partners and their customers from the same place.
  • Communicate with multiple partners - Teammates can initiate multiple side conversations with various partners from within one ticket or conversation.
  • Never miss an update - Teammates receive updates from side conversations directly in the customer conversation, ensuring they never miss any updates from external partners.

Shared by Brian • October 25, 2023

When using Intercom tickets in a b2b support use case, the tickets portal enables an external view of all tickets grouped by company.

This helps your business customers to:

  1. See a real-time view of all tickets in one place
  2. Reduce duplicate ticket submissions
  3. Take an action on a ticket to move it forward
