Intercom Changelog & Release Notes | Product Updates

You can now ask visitors to enter their email address in response to a Visitor Auto Message and take follow-up actions when they do.

For example, you can target specific visitors on your website and ask for their email address in exchange for content such as a webinar or coupon.
​

Once a visitor enters their email address, you can choose to automatically:

• Send a reply, such as a thank you, download link or a coupon code
• Tag the lead so they’re automatically added to your message campaigns in Intercom
• Assign the conversation to a team or teammate
• Create a lead in Salesforce

Try it out in your next Visitor Auto Message, or find out more in our docs.

Choose specific trigger times for your Auto Messages so they only send when your team is able to reply. For example, you might only want to proactively message leads on your website during your business hours.

You can choose to trigger each User or Visitor Auto Message based on your team’s Office Hours or for any custom time period. Read more about how it works in our docs.

We've made Visitor Auto Messages more powerful to help you capture even more leads from your website.

You can now:

• Choose how much attention you want your message to grab with new Post and Note styles
• A/B test different versions of your messages so you can determine what’s most effective
• Trigger messages to visitors coming from specific sites with Referral URL targeting

Try these options when setting up your next Visitor Auto Message, or check out our docs for more on setting up effective messages.

We’ve completely rebuilt Insights for Respond. An all-new Reports section makes it easy to track your individual teammates, teams, and organizational performance, so you can see what’s happening and where you can improve.

A few highlights:

• Insights into customer happiness, conversation volume, and responsiveness
• Performance drill-down by team and teammate
• Filter by selected date range

Explore all of the new Reports here. Visit our docs for more details.

Note: Respond Reports replaces Respond Insights.

We've built a brand new two-way integration that makes the combination of Intercom and Salesforce a whole lot more powerful.

• Create Salesforce leads in one click from the inbox or profiles - no more copy-pasting 😍
• Send conversations to Salesforce as tasks to keep track of customer interactions 🙌
• Use Salesforce data in Intercom to get context, auto assign conversations and trigger messages 💥

Set up takes just a couple of clicks from the integrations hub. Check out our docs for more details.

Note: This replaces our previous Salesforce integration. If you're using the old integration, it will continue to work but we recommend installing the new one as it lets you do much more.

When you snooze a conversation you now have the option to choose a specific day and time for the conversation to reopen. This can be really helpful when you need to follow up on a conversation on a specific date that isn't covered in our quick preset options.

​

Now you can delete selected parts of a conversation from the inbox. It’s great for situations when you, or a customer, might accidentally share sensitive information during a chat.
​

The option to delete parts of a conversation is available for apps in Dutch, English, French, German, German (Formal), Portuguese, Portuguese (Brazilian), Russian, and Spanish. More languages will be supported in about two weeks.

Note that this action deletes the message from the inbox and the Messenger, but won’t delete it from your customers’ email.

Check out our docs to learn more.

✏️

We’ve made it possible to edit the name of leads you have conversations with on your website. Now future conversations and messages can be more personal by addressing a lead by their real name.

Once a lead becomes a user this field is no longer editable.

We released conversation ratings – a more effective way to survey, measure, and act on customer satisfaction. Check out this quick video to see how it works.
​

With conversation ratings you get more out of measuring customer satisfaction with:

• Surveys sent through the Intercom Messenger and email
• Emoji ratings that get more responses and better capture the customer’s experience
• Positive feedback delivered straight to the team inbox
• Conversation ratings recorded as a user data attribute to segment and target messages

Enable conversation ratings in your app settings and learn more about how they work in our docs.

We’ve made it easier for you and your team to prioritize conversations in both our web and mobile apps by adding indicators that tell you when a conversation is new or unread.
