Trigger Configuration#

This component may be configured based on the props defined in the component code. Pipedream automatically prompts for input values in the UI and CLI.

Label	Prop	Type	Description
Intercom	`intercom`	`app`	This component uses the Intercom app.
N/A	`db`	`$.service.db`	This component uses `$.service.db` to maintain state between executions.
Polling Interval	`timer`	`$.interface.timer`	Pipedream will poll the API on this schedule
Users	`userIds`	`string[]`	Select a value from the drop down menu.

Trigger Authentication#

Intercom uses OAuth authentication. When you connect your Intercom account, Pipedream will open a popup window where you can sign into Intercom and grant Pipedream permission to connect to your account. Pipedream securely stores and automatically refreshes the OAuth tokens so you can easily authenticate any Intercom API.

Pipedream requests the following authorization scopes when you connect your account:
