This is a plugin that allows your Cordova or PhoneGap app to use Intercom for iOS and/or Intercom for Android.

• Intercom for Android supports API 15 and above.

Installation

Cordova

To install the plugin in your Cordova app, run the following:

cordova plugin add cordova-plugin-intercom

PhoneGap

To add the plugin to your PhoneGap app, add the following to your config.xml:

<plugin name="cordova-plugin-intercom" version="~3.2.2" />

Ionic

Intercom is compatible with both Ionic 1 & 2. To use the Intercom with Ionic, run the following:

cordova plugin add cordova-plugin-intercom

Make sure you initialize Intercom correctly.

Ionic 1

For Ionic 1 you can use Intercom like this:

.run(function($ionicPlatform) {
  $ionicPlatform.ready(function() {
    cordova.plugins.intercom.registerIdentifiedUser({userId: "123456"});
    cordova.plugins.intercom.setLauncherVisibility('VISIBLE');
  });
})

Ionic 2

For Ionic 2 you need to add the folling variable to your app.component.ts:

declare var cordova:any;

You can then use Intercom like this:

this.platform.ready().then(() => {
    cordova.plugins.intercom.registerIdentifiedUser({userId: "12345"});
    cordova.plugins.intercom.setLauncherVisibility('VISIBLE');
});
