Just came here to say that this plugin definitely DOES work, not sure what all the negative reviews are about. Its literally a one-click integration.
Doesn’t work
Got it working in under two minutes, does what it should do.
This plugin is literally broken and it’s wasting my time and my client’s time. End all the plugins!
I’ve installed Intercom at two sites now using this plugin, and have found it to work quite smoothly, though customizing the “launcher” beyond shape and color requires working with the javascript API, which is not currently facilitated by the plugin.
