Intercom
This guide will walk you through how to sync your Intercom↗ data with CustomerOS.
Connecting your Intercom account
CustomerOS connects to Intercom via an Intercom App.
- Log into Intercom and navigate to the Intercom Developer Hub↗ and click on
Your Apps
found at the top right of the screen.
- Click
Your apps
in the top-right corner, then clickNew app
.
- Choose an App name (we recommend
CustomerOS
!), select your Workspace from the dropdown, and clickCreate app
.
- To set the appropriate permissions, from the Authentication tab, click Edit in the top right corner and check the permissions you want to grant to the app.
We recommend only granting read permissions (not write). If you update the permissions, click Save when you are finished.
CustomerOS only requires read permissions as we don’t push data back into Intercom, so you can rest assured your data will remain unaltered within Intercom.
-
Copy your Intercom access token.
-
Log into your CustomerOS account↗, click on the
Settings
button and paste your Intercom access token into theIntercom access token
field on the integrations page. Press save. -
That’s it! CustomerOS will now continuously monitor your Intercom account for data changes and automatically sync them to CustomerOS.
What happens to this data?
- CustomerOS collects your Intercom data and stores this within your customer graph for easy manipulation into useful aggregations and views
- This data includes contacts, interactions, companies, deals and more!
- Once stored in CustomerOS, this data is linked to all other customer data from other systems and inputs
- This allows you to see the full picture about your customer without having to load data from one place to another!
