Frequently Asked Questions:
I've set up my Intercom Live Chat but only a blank box displays?
Intercom requires specific fields to be passed through to display (i.e. email, user_id). These can be added as Pendo metadata. If Identity verification is enabled in your Intercom Security settings then you will also be required to pass an encrypted user_hash. How to enable Identity Verification
If I’m setting up Drift, do I need to update any settings in my Drift account?
Yes. You will need to go into your widget design settings and set your widget size to "Large."
