Firstly, you need to connect your Intercom account to Voucherify.

- Expand Intercom integration and click CONNECT 🔄
You'll be redirected to an Intercom integration website with required Voucherify permissions.
- Choose Connect to confirm and finish the integration
- When it's ready, you'll be back to the Voucherify Integrations page. If your account were connected successfully, you'd see it next to the Intercom logo
Add your customers
When both accounts are connected, you need to add your customers from Intercom to Voucherify. Use the CSV file and import tool or add customers by using Voucherify API.
You can add custom fields (metadata) to pass customer attributes and Intercom tags to customer profiles in Voucherify. For example, you can attach a property source which equals to Intercom and build a customer segment with Intercom audience in Voucherify:
1. Firstly, add all custom attributes to the metadata schema in the Voucherify dashboard ( go here for the step-by-step instructions)
2. Now, create a CSV file with customer's data, here's an example:
3. When you have a CSV file with customers data, you can import customers to your Voucherify dashboard
While importing your CSV, you need to map added attributes to built-in properties in Voucherify and custom attributes visible in the metadata section in the customer profile
4. Lastly, you can create a segment of customers who receive a message with code. Voucherify segments can be based on built-in properties or custom attributes (metadata). Below, you can see a segment of customers who have a metadata source = Intercom assigned to their profile.
When the segment filters are set, choose Add(7) and Reload. Then, confirm, with SAVE.
Now, you can run distribution and send codes to your Intercom customers from Voucherify dashboard.
