This page contains the setup guide and reference information for the Intercom source connector.

  • Access to an Intercom account with the data you want to replicate
  • Start date - a UTC date and time programmatically in the format YYYY-MM-DDTHH:mm:ssZ. The data added on and after this date will be replicated.

To authenticate the connector in Airbyte Open Source, you will need to obtain an access token. You can follow the setup steps below to create an Intercom app and generate the token. For more information on Intercom's authentication flow, refer to the official documentation.

  1. Log in to your Intercom account and navigate to the Developer Hub.
  2. Click Your apps in the top-right corner, then click New app.
  3. Choose an App name, select your Workspace from the dropdown, and click Create app.
  4. 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). Click Save when you are finished.
  5. Under the Access token header, you will be prompted to regenerate your access token. Follow the instructions to do so, and copy the new token.
  1. Log into your Airbyte Cloud account.
  2. Click Sources and then click + New source.
  3. On the Set up the source page, select Intercom from the Source type dropdown.
  4. Enter a name for the Intercom connector.
  5. To authenticate:
  1. Navigate to the Airbyte Open Source dashboard.
  2. Click Sources and then click + New source.
  3. On the Set up the source page, select Intercom from the Source type dropdown.
  4. Enter a name for the Intercom connector.
  • For Airbyte Cloud, click Authenticate your Intercom account. When the pop-up appears, select the appropriate workspace from the dropdown and click Authorize access.
  • For Airbyte Open Source, enter your access token to authenticate your account.
  1. For Start date, use the provided datepicker or enter a UTC date and time programmatically in the format YYYY-MM-DDTHH:mm:ssZ. The data added on and after this date will be replicated.
  2. Click Set up source and wait for the tests to complete.
