### Intercom does not support rETL event batching | ||
The Intercom (Web) Actions destination does not support the bulk contacts endpoint, and therefore is unable to support batching events in rETL. | ||
|
||
### Why are my Identify() calls not updating/creating Intercom profiles or showing users as leads/visitors? | ||

Intercom requires requests to include user data/traits beyond `email` or `user_hash` to update/create profiles or change user status from leads/visitors. Without additional user data/traits, Intercom skips sending a "ping" requests assuming no changes were made to the user data. | ||

Adding a trait like `name` resolves the issue: | ||

analytics.identify("123", { | ||
email: "[email protected]", | ||
name: "John Doe" | ||
}, { | ||
integrations: { Intercom: { user_hash: "hash" } } | ||
}); | ||
``` | ||
|
||
Always include a trait, such as `name` or if you don't have a trait to send with identify calls, just map Segment `timestamp` to Intercom `last_request_at` in Segment to Intercom. | ||
