Help center social share image for article links
Upload a real social share image for your help center so shared article links carry brand proof instead of a generic support preview.
Why this can grow a startup
Support articles do not stay inside support. Teams share them in onboarding threads, customer success recaps, sales follow-ups, and community answers. When the preview card looks generic, the company loses a small but repeated trust cue at exactly the moment someone is deciding whether to click. Intercom makes the support surface behave more like a normal distribution page by letting teams set a dedicated social image for the help center and its articles. That turns every shared answer into a cleaner brand impression.
Company example
Intercom's Help Center settings include a high-resolution social media image that appears when the Help Center or its articles are shared on Facebook, X, and other social platforms.
