Collaborate more easily with your team and keep things tidy with two extra /commands for the new Slack integration:

  • Add an internal note to a conversation by typing /note in the channel. You can @mention your teammates in notes too - perfect if you're handing a conversation over πŸŽ‰
  • Easily close conversations when you’re done by typing /closed. This archives the channel in Slack and closes the conversation in Intercom so everything is kept tidy πŸ‘Œ

You can set up the integration from your integrations hub or find out more in our docs.

Our bot Operator can already qualify leads on your website so you know who’s worth your time and who’s not. Now, Operator can also follow-up with your best leads to schedule sales meetings with them 24/7. Just set it up and Operator will book meetings with your best leads 'round the clock. No need to worry about being double-booked too, Operator will only recommend times when you or your teammates are available.

Meetings can be distributed round-robin style across a team or to a single teammate. To enable this feature, first sync your Google Calendar with Intercom, then add the meeting invite follow-up in Operator's Contact and qualify menu. Check out this quick doc if you need help.

If you use Intercom on your website to capture and convert new leads, but your support team works in a separate tool, our bot Operator can now automatically forward visitors who need support to the right channel:

To direct your customers to the right place for support, and prevent new requests from being created in Intercom, you can share an email, link, or phone number. You can set up this feature in the Conversation routing menu in Operator’s settings.

We've updated the names of our products to make Intercom simpler and easier to understand.

These new names are based on feedback from our customers and now better align with each product's core functionality.

In addition to new product names, we’ve also updated the names of our pricing plans:

  • Lite is now called Essential
  • Standard is now called Pro

There are no changes to functionality or price. Only the names are changing.

Quickly troubleshoot webhook issues with the new dashboard

Priyanka avatar
Shared by Priyanka β€’ November 21, 2017


We've revamped the webhooks dashboard to make it much easier to manage and debug your webhooks. See the status of all your webhooks at a glance, and click into individual subscriptions to see successful and failed attempts over time, recent notifications and any error responses.
​


We've also added the webhook Subscription ID to the request headers so you can more easily identify which webhook subscription a notification is related to.
​

Learn more about the changes on our developer blog or head to our webhooks docs.
