If you use Atlassian's Statuspage, you can display the status of your app right on your Messenger Home screen. This will reduce inbound conversation volume for your support team by proactively surfacing outage information. Your customers can also subscribe to updates (via email or text) to be alerted of any changes.

Lastly, you can control if you want only users or website visitors or both to be able to see this app. To learn more about this app see our docs or check out the new Messenger here.

Control who can reassign conversations 📩🔀👮

Shared by Priyanka • March 20, 2018

You can now set permissions so that only certain members of your team can reassign conversations that are already assigned to a teammate. This permission will prevent your team from worrying that a good lead, or an easy support request, will be taken from their inbox.

This permission only prevents reassigning conversations from an individual's inbox. All teammates will still be able to assign conversations that are currently unassigned, or in a team inbox. You can set permissions for your team here.

Introducing the new Data Attributes API endpoint to describe your customer data in Intercom 🔚

Mark avatar
Shared by Mark • March 05, 2018

Now when you call the Intercom API, you can get a list of the data attributes that describe your leads, users and companies. This gives you a global view of all your customer data stored in Intercom—making it easier to build and maintain your custom integrations between Intercom and your CRM or customer database.

If you’re new to the Intercom API, custom data attributes allow you to store all kinds of relevant information about your customers, like their plan type, products purchased, signup date and more. With the new Data Attributes API, you can now:

  • Get the global list of attributes for your Intercom app as well as the metadata (i.e. datatype and format) associated with each attribute
  • See if the attribute can be updated from the user interface by a teammate
  • View the options available in a list type of attribute

All this helps you keep your data mapped and in sync between your stack of products, so you can send more targeted messages using Intercom while keeping your preferred customer database updated along the way.

To get started, take a look at our developer docs (with example JSON scripts!) for more details.

You can now retrieve your Conversation Ratings through the API, making it easy to report on customer satisfaction and track ratings alongside other customer data.

Simply send Conversation Ratings to your data warehouse or reporting tools using the Conversations API. When you retrieve a conversation, the metadata will include the rating and any comments left, which customer gave the rating and when, and the teammate it was left for.
