Intercom Changelog & Release Notes | Product Updates

With anchor links, you can now add links to multiple sections of articles in your Help Center, making it easier to direct customers to specific information.

Simply copy the anchor link while you’re in the editor and paste it wherever you’d like - they can be used in-product, on your website, or even in other articles.

You can even use the article inserter to send customers to specific article sections in conversations.

Visit our help center to learn how to get started.

Introducing no-reply post messages! You can now set whether your Posts can be responded to with text or emoji reactions, or prevent replies altogether.

Setting your reply type to None will result in small or large Post messages messages that do not give your audience an option to respond. Use this format for product announcements, proactive support messages, and more, when a response isn’t needed.

To use this feature in your mobile app, you must have the latest version of our mobile SDKs.

To learn more about this feature, check out this article.

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.

Get started with Series here or learn more about split testing in this article.

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.

To learn more, check out this developer doc.

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.

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.
