If you can’t access your Settings to find the default inbound address, you need to get the permission "Can access Messenger settings": 
Add auto-translation feature to get new reviews in your language.
You will receive reviews with:
- the app store a review came from
- featured reviews
- full name of a device (for Google Play only)
- a country or a device language (for those cases when language of a review doesn’t match language of a device)
- counted words in a review.
Reply to Reviews
If you want to reply to reviews using Intercom, set up these integrations first:

Troubleshooting
The most common reasons are:
- Reply is longer than 350 characters. This is the limit set by Google Play for Android-reviews. For App Store maximum reply length is 5000 characters;
- Settings issue, for example, password changed in App Store Connect (ex-iTunes Connect). You need to delete the integration with the store and install a new one. Then you'll be able to reply again.
This is a paid option. Free tier included in every plan allows you to reply to 100 reviews per month.
