The majority of list resources in the API are paginated to allow clients to traverse data over multiple requests.
Their responses are likely to contain a pages object that hosts pagination links which a client can use to paginate through the data without having to construct a query. The link relations for the pages field are as follows.
{ "type": "list", "data": [ { … } ], "pages": { "type": "pages", "next": null, "page": 1, "per_page": 50, "total_pages": 1 }, "total_count": 1 }

Cursor-based pagination is a technique used in the Intercom API to navigate through large amounts of data. A "cursor" or pointer is used to keep track of the current position in the result set, allowing the API to return the data in small chunks or "pages" as needed.

You can fetch a list of subscription types that are attached to a contact. These can be subscriptions that a user has 'opted-in' to or has 'opted-out' from, depending on the subscription type. This will return a list of Subscription Type objects that the contact is associated with.
The data property will show a combined list of:
1.Opt-out subscription types that the user has opted-out from. 2.Opt-in subscription types that the user has opted-in to receiving.
curl -i -X GET \ 'https://api.intercom.io/contacts/{contact_id}/subscriptions' \ -H 'Authorization: Bearer <YOUR_TOKEN_HERE>' \ -H 'Intercom-Version: 2.7'
{ "type": "list", "data": [ { … }, { … } ] }
You can add a specific subscription to a contact. In Intercom, we have two different subscription types based on user consent - opt-out and opt-in:
1.Attaching a contact to an opt-out subscription type will opt that user out from receiving messages related to that subscription type.
2.Attaching a contact to an opt-in subscription type will opt that user in to receiving messages related to that subscription type.
This will return a subscription type model for the subscription type that was added to the contact.

You can search for multiple contacts by the value of their attributes in order to fetch exactly who you want.
To search for contacts, you need to send a POST
request to https://api.intercom.io/contacts/search
.
This will accept a query object in the body which will define your filters in order to search for contacts.
Search queries can be complex, so optimizing them can help the performance of your search. Use the AND
and OR
operators to combine multiple filters to get the exact results you need and utilize pagination to limit the number of results returned. The default is 50
results per page. See the pagination section for more details on how to use the starting_after
param.
If a contact has recently been created, there is a possibility that it will not yet be available when searching. This means that it may not appear in the response. This delay can take a few minutes. If you need to be instantly notified it is recommended to use webhooks and iterate to see if they match your search filters.
You can nest these filters in order to get even more granular insights that pinpoint exactly what you need. Example: (1 OR 2) AND (3 OR 4). There are some limitations to the amount of multiple's there can be:
All timestamp fields (created_at, updated_at etc.) are indexed as Dates for Contact Search queries; Datetime queries are not currently supported. This means you can only query for timestamp fields by day - not hour, minute or second. For example, if you search for all Contacts with a created_at value greater (>) than 1577869200 (the UNIX timestamp for January 1st, 2020 9:00 AM), that will be interpreted as 1577836800 (January 1st, 2020 12:00 AM). The search results will then include Contacts created from January 2nd, 2020 12:00 AM onwards. If you'd like to get contacts created on January 1st, 2020 you should search with a created_at value equal (=) to 1577836800 (January 1st, 2020 12:00 AM). This behaviour applies only to timestamps used in search queries. The search results will still contain the full UNIX timestamp and be sorted accordingly.
Most key listed as part of the Contacts Model are searchable, whether writeable or not. The value you search for has to match the accepted type, otherwise the query will fail (ie. as created_at
accepts a date, the value
cannot be a string such as "foorbar"
).

You cannot use the <=
or >=
operators to search by created_at
.
The table below shows the operators you can use to define how you want to search for the value. The operator should be put in as a string ("="
). The operator has to be compatible with the field's type (eg. you cannot search with >
for a given string value as it's only compatible for integer's and dates).
Operator | Valid Types | Description |
---|---|---|
= | All | Equals |
!= | All | Doesn't Equal |
IN | All | In Shortcut for OR queriesValues must be in Array |
NIN | All | Not In Shortcut for OR ! queriesValues must be in Array |
> | Integer Date (UNIX Timestamp) | Greater than |
< | Integer Date (UNIX Timestamp) | Lower than |
~ | String | Contains |

You can fetch a list of all contacts (ie. users or leads) in your workspace.
You can use pagination to limit the number of results returned. The default is 50
results per page. See the pagination section for more details on how to use the starting_after
param.
