🚧 Single Sign On
If you are building a custom "Log in with Intercom" flow for your site, and you call the
/meendpoint to identify the logged-in user, you should not accept any sign-ins from users with unverified email addresses as it poses a potential impersonation security risk.

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.
{ "type": "activity_log.list", "pages": { "type": "pages", "next": null, "page": 1, "per_page": 20, "total_pages": 1 }, "activity_logs": [ { … }, { … } ] }
