Any advice on activating this in the intercom.io dashboard?

Sorry for not getting back to you @tipeveryday - I didn't get a comment notification.

I'm not sure what you mean by "activating it" - once a user is registered and is signed in to Magento they should show up in Intercom automatically. I don't think I needed to activate anything.

Thank you very much! I've created phtml file and I uploaded via ftp. Now what should I do to display it in my backend, or turn it into Intercom.io?

Hey @davekelly,
I couldn't load the intercom-io.phtml file from the local.xml nor page.xml
What I did instead was include the code in the template's header.phtml file.
It's all working nicely on Magento 19.3.1

Thanks!

Hi @davekelly,

We have created phtml file here app/design/frontend/default/my_theme/template/page/intercom-io.phtml
and updated app id. then added this code in local.xml file

<reference name="before_body_end">
    <block type="core/template" template="page/intercom-io.phtml" />
</reference>

But still that popup/chat window is not coming out.

Please let me know if you can help with this.

Thanks!
