Shared by Nadine β€’ 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.

Fin just got a whole lot faster with AI Answer streaming πŸŽοΈπŸ’¨

Christine avatar
Shared by Christine β€’ August 09, 2023

Fin is now streaming AI answers in the web Messenger!

This means customers don’t have to wait for the whole AI answer to generate before getting the support they need. Instead, Fin starts displaying a response the moment the first word comes in - reducing latency by 6 seconds on average!

What do you need to do? Absolutely nothing!

Fin's already on it 🫑

Tailor workflows based on team's capacity ⚑️

Nick avatar
Shared by Nick β€’ August 08, 2023

You can now direct conversations in workflows based on whether or not your team has the capacity to deal with them.

For example, if everyone within a team has a conversation assigned to them, you could direct Fin to automatically step in and help manage the workload.
​

This can be applied as a filter on the workflow trigger or can be used in a branch to split conversations.
