Connect to Intercom Data in DBArtisan
The CData ODBC Driver for Intercom seamlessly integrates Intercom data into database management tools like DBArtisan by enabling you to access Intercom data as a database. This article shows how to create an data source for Intercom in DBArtisan and execute queries. You can then edit data visually and execute standard SQL.
Integrate Intercom Data into DBArtisan Projects
If you have not already, first specify connection properties in an ODBC DSN (data source name). This is the last step of the driver installation. You can use the Microsoft ODBC Data Source Administrator to create and configure ODBC DSNs.
Start by setting the Profile connection property to the location of the Intercom Profile on disk (e.g. C:\profiles\Intercom.apip). Next, set the ProfileSettings connection property to the connection string for Intercom (see below).
Intercom API Profile Settings
In the Intercom Developer Hub, go to Configure > Authentication and select your workspace to obtain an Access Token. For OAuth, register an app and retrieve the Client ID and Secret from the app's Basic Information page.
You can then follow the steps below to register Intercom data as a database instance in your project:
- In DBArtisan, click Data Source -> Register Datasource.
- Select Generic ODBC.
- Enter a name for the data source and select the DSN.
- Finish the wizard to connect to Intercom data. Intercom entities are displayed in the Datasource Explorer.
You can now work with Intercom data as you work with any other database. See the driver help documentation for more information on the queries supported by the Intercom API.
