Intercom

Show your status inside Intercom Messenger

The Messenger is often the first place customers go when something feels wrong. Sorry™ puts your latest status updates right there, so they can see what’s happening before they ask.

What your customers see

Your status, where customers ask for help

When you post an incident on your Sorry™ status page, it shows on your Messenger home screen too. Customers get an answer straight away. Your support team can get on with fixing the problem.

  • Live incidents, with their status, title, last update time and a link to the details.
  • Planned maintenance, shared ahead of time so customers can plan around it.
  • Show it to all visitors, or only your signed-in customers.

Only tell the people who are affected

Not every incident affects every customer. Sorry™ can show a notice only to the customers who use the affected part of your product, so no one else gets worried for nothing.

Personalisation uses component subscriptions.

Jane
Uses your Help Centre, so she sees the incident.
Joe
Doesn’t use the Help Centre, so he won’t be bothered by it.

Give a heads-up before maintenance

Tell customers about planned maintenance before it starts. They’ll see it move from scheduled to underway, all inside the Messenger.
