 Since [v1.2.0](https://github.com/devrnt/react-use-intercom/releases/tag/v1.2.0) it's possible to delay this initialisation by passing `initializeDelay` in `<IntercomProvider />` (it's in milliseconds). However most of the users won't need to mess with this.
 
 For reference see https://github.com/devrnt/react-use-intercom/pull/236 and https://forum.intercom.com/s/question/0D52G00004WxWLs/can-i-delay-loading-intercom-on-my-site-to-reduce-the-js-load

+### Detect a broken Messenger
+
+There can be various reasons why the Messenger script has failed to load, e.g. network issues, Intercom downtime, firewall issues, or browser extensions like tracking blockers.
+
+By using the `onLoadFailed` callback it's possible to detect when that happens and provide the user with alternative means of customer support.
