Connect Intercom
- 1
Choose your region
Pick where your Intercom workspace is hosted: US, EU or Australia.
- 2
Sign in to Intercom
Approve access. Permissions are set by the Rippit app in Intercom, so there are no scopes to pick.
- 3
Choose history and fields
Pick how far back to import: 90 days by default, 1 year, or all time for accounts with up to 100,000 conversations. Pick up to 150 fields to bring in. You can add more fields later.
- Who sets it up
- A Rippit admin
- How it signs in
- Sign in to Intercom (OAuth)
- Access
- Read-only. Nothing changes in Intercom.
What comes in
- Full message history for each conversation
- Custom attributes, including ones Intercom’s own field list leaves out
- Company name, ID and the company attributes you select
- SLA, handling time and AI Agent fields
- Admins, teams, tags, and the contacts on synced conversations
- Calls, attachments, inline images and call recordings
What doesn’t
- Contacts who aren’t on a synced conversation
- Attributes you don’t select
How often it syncs
- Checks for new and updated conversations every hour, about 2 hours behind Intercom
- Re-checks the last 24 hours every day
- Usually less than 3 hours behind overall
Reconnecting and removing
- Reconnecting with a different account creates a new connection. The old one stays Disconnected.
- Removing it stops syncing. Imported data stays in Rippit.
- Rippit discards its access, but the app stays installed until you uninstall it in Intercom.
Good to know
- Conversations are picked by when they were last updated, so you may see some created before your history window.
- The field picker only shows attributes that have values in the sample it checks.
- Removing the integration stops syncing, but the Rippit app stays installed until you uninstall it in Intercom.
- Rippit looks for new custom attributes at most every 6 hours, and reads 5 conversations at a time.
