Intro

Intercom OAuth is a platform used to integrate customer messaging apps for sales, marketing, and support connected on one platform. To learn more about the Intercom API, visit their page (https://developers.intercom.com/inte…ence/reference). You connect to your Intercom account in the Data Center. This topic discusses the fields and menus that are specific to the Intercom connector user interface. General information for adding DataSets, setting update schedules, and editing DataSet information is discussed in a DataSet Using a Data Connector.

Prerequisites

To connect to your Intercom account and create a DataSet, you must have credentials. For information on setting up OAuth, see Setting up OAuth (intercom.com)

Connecting to Your Intercom OAuth Account

This section enumerates the options in the Credentials and Details panes on the Intercom Connector page. The components of the other panes on this page, Scheduling, and Name & Describe Your DataSet, are universal across most connector types and are discussed in greater length in Adding a DataSet Using a Data Connector.

Credentials Pane

The Domo Intercom OAuth Connector uses OAuth to connect, you have to enter your credentials within Domo. Click Connect (or select Add Account if you have existing Intercom accounts in Domo) to open the Intercom OAuth screen where you can enter your Intercom username and password. Once you have entered valid Intercom credentials, you can use the same account any time you go to create a new Intercom DataSet. You can manage connector accounts in the Accounts tab in the Data Center. For more information about this tab, see Managing User Accounts for Connectors.
Note: If you are already logged into Intercom when you connect in Domo, you are authenticated automatically when you click Add account. If you want to connect to an account that is different from the one you are logged into, you must first log out of Intercom.

Details Pane

This pane contains a primary Reports menu, along with various other menus which may or may not appear depending on the report type you select.

Datasets can be updated as often as once an hour. though this should be decreased if rate limits are encountered.
Intercom allows 83 calls per 10 seconds or roughly 500 per minute.
Intercom OAuth Connector uses OAuth to connect, so there is no need to enter credentials within Domo. Click Connect (or select Add Account if you have existing Intercom accounts in Domo) to open the Intercom OAuth screen where you can enter your Intercom username and password. Once you have entered valid Intercom credentials, you can use the same account any time you go to create a new Intercom DataSet. You can manage connector accounts in the Accounts tab in the data center.
The login process uses the OAuth process, so your credentials are never seen or stored by Domo. This keeps your login secure. You can revoke Domo’s access to your account at any time.

Troubleshooting

  • Make sure your authentication remains valid.
  • Review the configuration to make sure that all required items have been selected.
  • Review the Connector history for error messages.
  • In rare cases, you may be requesting too much information and reaching API limitations or timeouts. If this is the case, you can review the history of the Connector run to see the error message and duration. If this is the case, you can reduce the number of accounts that are being pulled, choose a smaller number of metrics for the report that you are pulling, or reduce the timeframe that you are trying to pull.
