You can now test up to five different message types, message content, CTAs, timing, and more in Series. Simply add a split test block in a Series to get started.

From there, add a goal (this can be different from the broader Series or message goals) and choose how many people should go to each test.

Create the varying messages, and set your Series live ✅

When you accrue enough data to determine the most effective path, select the winner, and any new users that enter the Series will only flow through that winning path.

Remembering to update your iOS push certificates each year can be tricky. You can now switch to using a .p8 certificate instead, which doesn’t expire every 12 months. Once you make the switch, there’s no need to worry about upgrading again.

Starting today, you can keep sensitive information secure by limiting which conversations a teammate can access in the inbox.

You can set conversation access in two ways. First, at the teammate level by manually restricting conversations to a subset of teams or teammates. Or you can set this permission in bulk using Custom roles.

To learn more about customizing your permissions, see our help doc.

We’re rolling out new features that will give you more coverage from Resolution Bot. All of our Resolution Bot customers will automatically have access to the following features as part of an open beta:

1. Resolve more conversations with Looping mode - Resolution Bot will now attempt to answer multiple questions within the same conversation as the default setting for new customers. End users will still be able to connect with a teammate by clicking the “Talk to a person” quick-reply button. Looping can be turned off in Operator settings.

2. Surface articles where answers don’t exist - The Articles Suggestions task bot (existing feature) will now be able to respond to customer questions if an answer hasn’t already been created. Article suggestions task bot and Looping must be turned on for this feature to work.

3. Auto-close option (Looping only)- If a conversation has been inactive for 3 minutes or more, customers can choose to either automatically close a conversation or route it to a team member. The default setting will be to route to a team member, but you can update this in Operator settings.

4. Better understand your Resolution Bot performance with The Resolution Bot report -We've added new reporting filters, so you will now be able to see metrics for just Looping, One-Time, or both.

5. Updated reporting calculations for :

- Sent: # of conversation where the answer has been served by the Resolution Bot.

- Resolved: Among "Sent", # of conversation that ended up with a "That helped" reply or soft resolution.

- Routed to team: Among "Sent", # of conversation that ended up being routed to the team.

6. Let Resolution Bot take control when your team isn’t available with Bot Only mode- this will allow teammates to put customers into a self-serve support only mode if they choose to.

These features are expected to officially launch in the first half of next year.

To ensure your messages are never missed, you can now set whether your Banners are dismissable or not.

For Banners with specific actions (e.g. asking for Emoji reactions), you can also set whether the Banner should be dismissed on the click (e.g. submitted an Emoji reaction), or if it should persist regardless of whether the user performs that action.

Last quarter, we introduced conversation data attributes to help you categorize and resolve complex support requests in a more efficient way. Today, we’re adding API support so you can access conversation data in your external analytic tools, or use it with automation platforms to build out more custom workflows.

As a part of API v2.3, you can:

• See the data attributes of a conversation
• Update a conversation’s data attribute
• List all data attributes associated with conversations

For more information on getting started with API v2.3, review our dev docs.

We just launched the ability to trigger an Article or Mobile Carousel from an element inside your app 🎉

Have buttons open up an Article or Carousel, or have them trigger based on specific end-user actions. Examples include:

• Trigger an Article or Mobile Carousel when a payment is failed
• Surface an Article on your orders screen that outlines shipping and return policies
• Include a list of tutorials that open up individual Mobile Carousels

Simply insert the ID of the Article or Carousel you wish to open into your app’s code. You can get these IDs from specific Article’s URL or the “Trigger your carousel from code” section of the Carousel editor.

To learn more, check out this article on Articles, and this article on Mobile Carousels.

Note: You’ll need the latest version of the Intercom mobile SDK in order to use this new feature.

You can now remove tags in Series. Simply add a Tag block to your Series and specify which tags to add and/or remove when users reach this step.

With updates to Article Reports, you can now customize your report data to the timeframe of your choice.

You also have more visibility into the number of help center visits and article views within that time.

To experience the new reporting, click here.

You can now capture your audience’s attention at the top or bottom of your website or app with customized banner messages. Use Banners to:

• Share promotions, announcements, service outages and more
• Onboard new users by surfacing tips or directing them to a Product Tour
• Generate leads by capturing email addresses
• Proactively support your users by surfacing known issues or linking to a Help Article
• Gather sentiment about your app or specific features by asking users to react with emojis

Target users based on who they are, how they’ve engaged with your product, or how they’ve interacted with prior messages. You can even incorporate Banners into broader messaging campaigns with Series.
