Common questions
- Does an AI role need its own Intercom account?
- No. The role connects through Intercom's API using OAuth 2.0 for public apps that access other workspaces; access tokens for private apps that access your own workspace. Both pass an Authorization Bearer token, with the access your team grants. There is nothing to replatform.
- What can an AI role do with our Intercom data?
- It works with conversations, contacts, companies, tickets, articles, tags, admins and teammates, and data attributes, and can read and reply to conversations, create and update contacts and companies, create and manage tickets, manage help center articles, tag and search records, and subscribe to webhooks. Each role is scoped to only the records and actions its job needs.
- Is the connection to Intercom governed?
- Yes. Every action a role takes in Intercom is logged and reviewable, under defined human oversight, with a full audit trail.
