Setup guide​

Set up Intercom​

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.

  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.
