Connections

Intercom

Connection to Intercom

To connect to Intercom you will need to create a new app in their Developer Hub.

Click "New App" and select "Public app" (you can use "Internal integration" if you do not need to connect to customer Intercom workspaces).

To enable OAuth you need to navigate to "Authentication", click the "Edit" button, and check "Use OAuth". Click "Add redirect URL" and enter the callback URL: https://oauth2.integrations.acme.com/callback

You can also use this opportunity to reduce the selected Permissions (scopes) if desired. Once complete, click "Save".

Next, collect the Client ID and Client secret from the "Basic information" page.

You are now ready to create the OAuth 2.0 connection to Intercom:

  • Enter the Client ID and Client secret values into the same named fields.

Save your integration and you should now be able to authenticate to Intercom.

Note that you will need to submit your Intercom app for review when it is ready for production.

This connection uses OAuth 2.0, a common authentication mechanism for integrations. Read about how OAuth 2.0 works here.

Intercom Access Token

Connection to Intercom using an Access Token

You should use the given access Access Token if:

  • You want to use the API to interact with your own Intercom app
  • You have scripts to push or extract data from your Intercom app
  • You want to use the API to programmatically automate certain actions in your own Intercom app
  • The data you interact with programmatically is your own customer data

How to get your Access Token

Intercom provide you with an Access Token as soon as you create an app on your workspace. You can find your Access Token in the Configure > Authentication section in your app within the Developer Hub.

You will also see it in your Test & Publish > Your Workspaces page of your app in the Developer Hub. This lists out all of your workspaces that have the app installed. More about how this works can be found in their Installing & Uninstalling Apps guide.

Never give your Access Token to a third party

Your Access Token can give access to your private Intercom data and should be treated like a password. If an app provider asks you for your Access Token, please do not provide it. Instead, let us know - apps are required to use OAuth rather than asking users for Access Tokens.
