Prerequisites

Setup guide
Obtain an Intercom access token (Airbyte Open Source)
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.
- Log in to your Intercom account and navigate to the Developer Hub.
- Click Your apps in the top-right corner, then click New app.
- Choose an App name, select your Workspace from the dropdown, and click Create 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). Click Save when you are finished.
- 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.
Set up the Intercom connector in Airbyte
- Log in to your Airbyte Cloud or Airbyte Open Source account.
- In the left navigation bar, click Sources. In the top-right corner, click + New source.
- Find and select Intercom from the list of available sources.
- Enter a Source name to help you identify this source.
- To authenticate:
- 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.
- 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. - Click Set up source and wait for the tests to complete.
