# Intercom Integration

Intercom is a customer messaging platform that provides businesses with tools for communication and engagement with their customers.

### How does this integration helps Sprinto <a href="#integration-benefits-for-sprinto" id="integration-benefits-for-sprinto"></a>

The integration with Intercom is designed to enhance Sprinto's functionality by enabling the retrieval of crucial user account details such as username, email address, and role. This integration empowers Sprinto to efficiently verify user access status, particularly when users offboard from the organization. The inclusion of organizational role information ensures that only users with valid roles configured in the system gain access.

#### Sprinto Checks for Intercom Integration <a href="#sprinto-checks-for-intercom-integration" id="sprinto-checks-for-intercom-integration"></a>

Sprinto offers a series of checks for Intercom integration to ensure seamless operation. Here's a breakdown of these checks along with reference procedures on resolving these checks:
