Create a New User in Intercom

This n8n workflow demonstrates how to interact with the Intercom API to create or manage user data. It provides a basic structure to get started with automating Intercom tasks.

What it does

This workflow currently consists of two nodes:

1. Start: The initial node that triggers the workflow. In its current state, it serves as a placeholder for a trigger (e.g., a webhook, a schedule, or manual execution) and does not perform any specific data processing.
2. Intercom: This node is configured to interact with the Intercom API. While the specific operation is not defined in the provided JSON, it is set up to perform an action within Intercom. Common operations include creating users, updating users, sending messages, or retrieving data.

Prerequisites/Requirements

• n8n Instance: You need a running n8n instance to import and execute this workflow.
• Intercom Account: An active Intercom account is required.
• Intercom API Key: You will need to create and configure an Intercom API key as a credential in n8n.

Setup/Usage

1. Import the workflow:
   • Copy the provided JSON code.
   • In your n8n instance, click on "Workflows" in the left sidebar.
   • Click "New" and then "Import from JSON".
   • Paste the JSON code and click "Import".
2. Configure Intercom Credentials:
   • Click on the "Intercom" node.
   • In the node settings, locate the "Credentials" field.
   • Click "Create New" or select an existing Intercom credential.
   • If creating new, you will need to provide your Intercom Access Token (API Key).
3. Define Intercom Operation:
   • The "Intercom" node currently does not have a specific operation configured.
   • To make the workflow functional, you will need to select an "Operation" (e.g., "Create User", "Update User") and provide the necessary parameters (e.g., user email, name, custom attributes).
4. Add a Trigger:
   • Replace the "Start" node with a suitable trigger for your use case (e.g., a "Webhook" node to receive data from another service, a "Schedule" node to run at specific intervals, or an "HTTP Request" node if pulling data).
5. Test the Workflow:
   • Once configured, you can test the workflow by clicking "Execute Workflow" in the top right corner of the n8n editor.
