Intercom-Go

Thin client for the Intercom API

Project Updates

Maintenance

We're currently building a new team to provide in-depth and dedicated SDK support.

In the meantime, we'll be operating on limited capacity, meaning all pull requests will be evaluated on a best effort basis and will be limited to critical issues.

We'll communicate all relevant updates as we build this new team and support strategy in the coming months.

Install

go get gopkg.in/intercom/intercom-go.v2

Usage

Getting a Client

import (
    intercom "gopkg.in/intercom/intercom-go.v2"
)

// You can use either an an OAuth or Access Token
ic := intercom.NewClient("access_token", "")

This client can then be used to make requests.

If you already have an access token you can find it here. If you want to create or learn more about access tokens then you can find more info here.

If you are building a third party application you can get your OAuth token by setting-up-oauth for Intercom. You can use the Goth library which is a simple OAuth package for Go web aplicaitons and supports Intercom to more easily implement Oauth.

Client Options

The client can be configured with different options by calls to ic.Option:

ic.Option(intercom.TraceHTTP(true)) // turn http tracing on
ic.Option(intercom.BaseURI("http://intercom.dev")) // change the base uri used, useful for testing
ic.Option(intercom.SetHTTPClient(myHTTPClient)) // set a new HTTP client, see below for more info

or combined:

ic.Option(intercom.TraceHTTP(true), intercom.BaseURI("http://intercom.dev"))

Users

Save

user := intercom.User{
    UserID: "27",
    Email: "[e-mail]",
    Name: "InterGopher",
    SignedUpAt: int64(time.Now().Unix()),
    CustomAttributes: map[string]interface{}{"is_cool": true},
}
savedUser, err := ic.Users.Save(&user)

• One of UserID, or Email is required.
• SignedUpAt (optional), like all dates in the client, must be an integer(32) representing seconds since Unix Epoch.

Adding/Removing Companies

Adding a Company:

companyList := intercom.CompanyList{
    Companies: []intercom.Company{
        {CompanyID: "5"},
    },
}
user := intercom.User{
    UserID: "27",
    Companies: &companyList,
}

Removing is similar, but adding a Remove: intercom.Bool(true) attribute to a company.

Find

user, err := ic.Users.FindByID("46adad3f09126dca")

user, err := ic.Users.FindByUserID("27")

user, err := ic.Users.FindByEmail("[e-mail]")

List

userList, err := ic.Users.List(intercom.PageParams{Page: 2})
userList.Pages // page information
userList.Users // []User

userList, err := ic.Users.Scroll("")
scrollParam := userList.ScrollParam
userList, err := ic.Users.Scroll(scrollParam)

userList, err := ic.Users.ListBySegment("segmentID123", intercom.PageParams{})

userList, err := ic.Users.ListByTag("42", intercom.PageParams{})

Delete

user, err := ic.Users.Delete("46adad3f09126dca")

Contacts

Contacts are the same as leads

In the Intercom API we refer to contacts as leads. See here for more info We did not change this in the SDK since that would be a major breaking change. This is something we will address shortly. So any reference to contacts in the SDK is a reference to a lead in Intercom

Find

contact, err := ic.Contacts.FindByID("46adad3f09126dca")

contact, err := ic.Contacts.FindByUserID("27")

List

contactList, err := ic.Contacts.List(intercom.PageParams{Page: 2})
contactList.Pages // page information
contactList.Contacts // []Contact

contactList, err := ic.Contacts.Scroll("")
scrollParam = contactList.ScrollParam
contactList, err := ic.Contacts.Scroll(scrollParam)

contactList, err := ic.Contacts.ListByEmail("[e-mail]", intercom.PageParams{})

Create

contact := intercom.Contact{
    Email: "[e-mail]",
    Name: "SomeContact",
    CustomAttributes: map[string]interface{}{"is_cool": true},
}
savedContact, err := ic.Contacts.Create(&contact)

• No identifier is required.
• Set values for UserID will be ignored (consider creating Users instead)

Update

contact := intercom.Contact{
    UserID: "abc-13d-3",
    Name: "SomeContact",
    CustomAttributes: map[string]interface{}{"is_cool": true},
}
savedContact, err := ic.Contacts.Update(&contact)

• ID or UserID is required.
• Will not create new contacts.

Convert

Used to convert a Contact into a User

contact := intercom.Contact{
    UserID: "abc-13d-3",
}
user := intercom.User{
    Email: "[e-mail]",
}
savedUser, err := ic.Contacts.Convert(&contact, &user)

• If the User does not already exist in Intercom, the Contact will be uplifted to a User.
• If the User does exist, the Contact will be merged into it and the User returned.

Companies

Save

company := intercom.Company{
    CompanyID: "27",
    Name: "My Co",
    CustomAttributes: map[string]interface{}{"is_cool": true},
    Plan: &intercom.Plan{Name: "MyPlan"},
}
savedCompany, err := ic.Companies.Save(&company)

• CompanyID is required.

Find

company, err := ic.Companies.FindByID("46adad3f09126dca")

company, err := ic.Companies.FindByCompanyID("27")

company, err := ic.Companies.FindByName("My Co")

List

companyList, err := ic.Companies.List(intercom.PageParams{Page: 2})
companyList.Pages // page information
companyList.Companies // []Companies

companyList, err := ic.Companies.ListBySegment("segmentID123", intercom.PageParams{})

companyList, err := ic.Companies.ListByTag("42", intercom.PageParams{})

ListUsers

userList, err := ic.Companies.ListUsersByID("46adad3f09126dca", intercom.PageParams{})
userList.Users // []User

userList, err := ic.Companies.ListUsersByCompanyID("27", intercom.PageParams{})

Events

Save

event := intercom.Event{
    UserID: "27",
    EventName: "bought_item",
    CreatedAt: int64(time.Now().Unix()),
    Metadata: map[string]interface{}{"item_name": "PocketWatch"},
}
err := ic.Events.Save(&event)

• One of UserID, ID, or Email is required (With leads you need to use ID).
• EventName is required.
• CreatedAt is required, must be an integer representing seconds since Unix Epoch. Will be set to now unless given.
• Metadata is optional, and can be constructed using the helper as above, or as a passed map[string]interface{}.

Admins

List

adminList, err := ic.Admins.List()
admins := adminList.Admins

Tags

List

tagList, err := ic.Tags.List()
tags := tagList.Tags

Save

tag := intercom.Tag{Name: "GoTag"}
savedTag, err := ic.Tags.Save(&tag)

Name is required. Passing an ID will attempt to update the tag with that ID.

Delete

err := ic.Tags.Delete("6")

Tagging Users/Companies

taggingList := intercom.TaggingList{Name: "GoTag", Users: []intercom.Tagging{{UserID: "27"}}}
savedTag, err := ic.Tags.Tag(&taggingList)

A Tagging can identify a User or Company, and can be set to Untag:

taggingList := intercom.TaggingList{Name: "GoTag", Users: []intercom.Tagging{{UserID: "27", Untag: intercom.Bool(true)}}}
savedTag, err := ic.Tags.Tag(&taggingList)

Segments

List

segmentList := ic.Segments.List()
segments, err := segmentList.Segments

Find

segment, err := ic.Segments.Find("abc312daf2397")

Messages

New Admin to User/Contact Email

msg := intercom.NewEmailMessage(intercom.PERSONAL_TEMPLATE, intercom.Admin{ID: "1234"}, intercom.User{Email: "[e-mail]"}, "subject", "body")
savedMessage, err := ic.Messages.Save(&msg)

Can use intercom.PLAIN_TEMPLATE too, or replace the intercom.User with an intercom.Contact.

New Admin to User/Contact InApp

msg := intercom.NewInAppMessage(intercom.Admin{ID: "1234"}, intercom.Contact{Email: "[e-mail]"}, "body")
savedMessage, err := ic.Messages.Save(&msg)

New User Message

msg := intercom.NewUserMessage(intercom.User{Email: "[e-mail]"}, "body")
savedMessage, err := ic.Messages.Save(&msg)

Conversations

Find Conversation

convo, err := intercom.Conversations.Find("1234")

List Conversations

All

convoList, err := intercom.Conversations.ListAll(intercom.PageParams{})

By User

Showing all for user:

convoList, err := intercom.Conversations.ListByUser(&user, intercom.SHOW_ALL, intercom.PageParams{})

Showing just Unread for user:

convoList, err := intercom.Conversations.ListByUser(&user, intercom.SHOW_UNREAD, intercom.PageParams{})

Showing just Open for admin:

convoList, err := intercom.Conversations.ListByAdmin(&admin, intercom.SHOW_OPEN, intercom.PageParams{})

Showing just Closed for admin:

convoList, err := intercom.Conversations.ListByAdmin(&admin, intercom.SHOW_CLOSED, intercom.PageParams{})

Reply

User reply:

convo, err := intercom.Conversations.Reply("1234", &user, intercom.CONVERSATION_COMMENT, "my message")

User reply with attachment:

convo, err := intercom.Conversations.ReplyWithAttachmentURLs("1234", &user, intercom.CONVERSATION_COMMENT, "my message", string[]{"http://www.example.com/attachment.jpg"})

User reply that opens:

convo, err := intercom.Conversations.Reply("1234", &user, intercom.CONVERSATION_OPEN, "my message")

Admin reply:

convo, err := intercom.Conversations.Reply("1234", &admin, intercom.CONVERSATION_COMMENT, "my message")

Admin note:

convo, err := intercom.Conversations.Reply("1234", &admin, intercom.CONVERSATION_NOTE, "my message to just admins")

Open and Close

Open:

convo, err := intercom.Conversations.Open("1234", &openerAdmin)

Close:

convo, err := intercom.Conversations.Close("1234", &closerAdmin)

Assign

convo, err := intercom.Conversations.Assign("1234", &assignerAdmin, &assigneeAdmin)

Webhooks

Notifications

If you have received a JSON webhook notification, you may want to convert it into real Intercom object. A Notification can be created from any io.Reader, typically a http request:

var r io.Reader
notif, err := intercom.NewNotification(r)

The returned Notification will contain exactly 1 of the Company, Conversation, Event, Tag or User fields populated. It may only contain partial objects (such as a single conversation part) depending on what is provided by the webhook.

Errors

Errors may be returned from some calls. Errors returned from the API will implement intercom.IntercomError and can be checked:

_, err := ic.Users.FindByEmail("[e-mail]")
if herr, ok := err.(intercom.IntercomError); ok && herr.GetCode() == "not_found" {
    fmt.Print(herr)
}

HTTP Client

The HTTP Client used by this package can be swapped out for one of your choosing, with your own configuration, it just needs to implement the HTTPClient interface:

type HTTPClient interface {
    Get(string, interface{}) ([]byte, error)
    Post(string, interface{}) ([]byte, error)
    Patch(string, interface{}) ([]byte, error)
    Delete(string, interface{}) ([]byte, error)
}

It'll probably need to work with appId, apiKey and baseURI values. See the provided client for an example. Then create an Intercom Client and inject the HTTPClient:

ic := intercom.Client{}
ic.Option(intercom.SetHTTPClient(myHTTPClient))
// ready to go!

On Bools

Due to the way Go represents the zero value for a bool, it's necessary to pass pointers to bool instead in some places.

The helper intercom.Bool(true) creates these for you.
