The Intercom integration includes three components:

🔐 Available for all plans

📍 Ready to use in Tours Tooltips Microsurveys Launchers*

⚙️ Enable from the Dashboard

It takes a single click to send Chameleon data to Intercom, using this integration. All you need to do is to enable the Send Chameleon data to Intercom toggle in Intercom's integration page in your Dashboard.

This will automatically begin sending data to your Intercom account. This works by using the existing Intercom code on your website, so data will only be sent on pages where the Intercom script is present and working.

The data that's sent includes the following events:

Event properties sent as part of these events include the Experience name, URL, and others where relevant (e.g. Step number).

For full details of all Chameleon data sent to Intercom, use our schema Google Sheet:

Using this option, Chameleon will refer to the Intercom instance that's installed on the current page. You can also pre-populate a message so that your user only needs to send it. 😉

To use this, first go to the Dashboard to confirm Intercom is installed in your product.

Next, you'll leverage the button additional Actions when building out your Experience. After selecting Intercom, choose the Open Chat option and each time a user clicks your button, your Intercom chat will pop up to provide help.

To open the Intercom Messenger from a Launcher item, you'll need to manually communicate with the Intercom Messenger API.

For this, you'll need to use a Script Item and write the API call in the field. For example, in case you want to open the Intercom Messenger with a blank message, all you'll have to do is to type the following code in your Launcher Item.

This can be very useful to:

To use this option, you'll first need to link your Help Center in the Chameleon Dashboard. Go to the Intercom Integrations page, and paste in your Center's URL in the last field.

Now, go on and build your Experience as usual, and use the buttons' additional Actions to configure this. After selecting Intercom, choose the Open Help Center option to connect users to your documentation, in a new tab.

💡 Open your knowledge base and let users explore, or choose to show specific pages in it. Your choice.

You can choose to either:

Once you set this, every button click will also open your help resources in a new tab.

💡 Use this integration to instantly communicate the benefits of your improvements, but also address blockages and provide education for more complex features when it's most relevant for users to learn.
