CEO of Intercom here. ๐Ÿ˜… Thank you so much for the love. And sorry that you had to go make this. I 100% agree with you. Weโ€™ve a couple solutions in the pipeline. Like all things in software, and especially when youโ€™re changing things that millions of people interact with daily, the situation is more complex than it might seem. But weโ€™re on it. Thanks again for making this and making me laugh this morning. โค๏ธ

Install Mute Intercom โ€” a free Chrome extension that blocks annoying notification sounds from Intercom so you can enjoy the silence. P.S.

Haha, I encounter this problem occasionally where Intercom keeps buzzing me in one of my 100 open tabs (I realize this is a separate problem. Don't judge me! ๐Ÿ˜›).
