Customers will now see a link to your Help Center when it's outside your office hours.

If you have your Educate Help Center live and it's outside of your office hours, a link to your Help Center will automatically appear. This lets customers help themselves while you're away so you can come back to a more manageable inbox. Set your office hours here.

You can now let your customers know when you’re open and working when they contact you via the Intercom Messenger.


When it’s outside of your office hours, your customers can still contact you, but a small banner in the messenger helps to set their expectations by telling them when you’ll be back and ready to respond. Learn more about setting office hours here.

You can now set yourself as away, and if you use Respond, automatically reassign your conversations so customers won’t be left waiting for you to reply.


Away mode can be turned on via your profile menu in the Intercom web app and from the Intercom Conversations mobile app. Check out our docs for more info on how it works.
