The Intercom Synapse enables data synchronization between a limited set of Intercom standard objects and Syncari entities using the Intercom API. After the Synapse is Authenticated, you can Activate it, which enables Syncari to replicate the Intercom schema and make it available within the Unified Data Model.

Synapse Capabilities

  • Schema discovery of limited set of standard objects
  • Bi-directional sync of limited set of objects

Supported Objects

  1. Contact
  2. Company

Optional: In Intercom | Configure Contact Deletion Webhook

If you want Syncari to be aware of deleted contacts in Intercom, you'll need to configure a webhook. If you don't need to sync deletions, you can skip this step.

1. Under the same application you created above, navigate to the Webhooks section and enter the following endpoint URL: https://app.syncari.com/arcade/api/v1/webhooks/intercom

2. From the Webhook topics dropdown, select contact.deleted and click Save.
