How do I troubleshoot Intercom issues?

1
Refresh the Intercom dashboard
Reload the Intercom inbox and check if messages are now visible — dashboard caching can sometimes cause temporary display issues.
2
Check your workspace settings
Verify your Intercom workspace is active, your subscription is current, and your team members have the correct access permissions.
3
Test the chat widget on a fresh page
Open your website in an incognito browser window to verify whether the Intercom widget loads for new visitors.
4
Check API credentials and rate limits
For API integrations: confirm your access tokens are valid and you haven't exceeded Intercom's API rate limits.
5
Review your automation workflows
Check if custom bots or automation workflows have configuration errors that might cause failures independently of platform issues.
