## Importing knowledge from Intercom

 



 

Types of data available for import:

 

- Conversations
- Help Center articles

 

Required data:

 

- An export or an approved connection method agreed with Tidio support, not your private access token

 



 



 

### Preparing access safely

 



 

Intercom access tokens are for private apps in your own workspace. Intercom explicitly says not to share them with third-party providers. Contact Tidio support to agree on an export or an OAuth-based import before proceeding. The images below show the older token workflow, not instructions to share a token.

 



 

![Intercom Settings shows the Developer Hub option.](<https://help.tidio.com/article-media/import-knowledge-into-lyro/legacy-15389208994716.webp>)

 



 



 

For your own internal export, an app can be managed in Intercom's **Developer Hub**:

 



 

![Intercom Developer Hub lists apps and offers a new app.](<https://help.tidio.com/article-media/import-knowledge-into-lyro/legacy-15388614962204.webp>)

 



 



 

Your private app's token is under **Configure \> Authentication**. Keep it private:

 



 

![An Intercom app displays its access token copy control.](<https://help.tidio.com/article-media/import-knowledge-into-lyro/legacy-15388614969244.webp>)

 



 



 

Share only the agreed export through the channel confirmed by Tidio support. Do not send your Intercom access token.

 



 

## Importing knowledge from Gorgias

 



 

Types of data available for import:

 

- Tickets
- Help Center articles (via crawler only)

 

Required data:

 

- Tickets: 
  
  - base API URL
  - username
  - API key
- Help Center: 
  
  - main page URL

 



 



 

### How to obtain the API key and other data

 



 

1. While logged into Gorgias, go to your profile and select the **REST API** option:

 



 

[![The Gorgias profile menu includes REST API.](<https://help.tidio.com/article-media/import-knowledge-into-lyro/legacy-15388614971932.webp>)](<https://your-subdomain.gorgias.com/app/settings/api*>)

 



 



 

Alternatively, use this direct link in your browser (make sure to modify it with your Gorgias subdomain):

 

[https://YOUR-SUBDOMAIN.gorgias.com/app/settings/api](<https://your-subdomain.gorgias.com/app/settings/api>)

 



 



 

2. Copy all the necessary data from the REST API page:

 



 

![Gorgias shows the API URL, username, and API key fields.](<https://help.tidio.com/article-media/import-knowledge-into-lyro/legacy-15388614976284.webp>)

 



 



 

3. Share the data with us. See [how to share data in a safe manner](<https://help.tidio.com/articles/import-knowledge-into-lyro/#h_01J55X8VV230B3BG6NX0SRJWE9>).

 



 



 

## Importing knowledge from Zendesk

 



 

Types of data available for import:

 

- Tickets

 

Discuss these details with Tidio support:

 

- subdomain
- username
- A supported export or OAuth connection method for your account

 



 

To import public Zendesk Help Center articles yourself, open **Lyro AI Agent** \> **Data sources**, click **Add more knowledge**, then **Upload Zendesk articles**. Enter your Help Center URL in the **Upload Zendesk public articles** window and click **Import**. Articles must be public. If your window shows a 500-article limit, contact our team if you need to import more.

 

You can learn more about that feature[ in this guide](<https://help.tidio.com/articles/lyro-data-sources/#h_01J560HPRXEYXKRAR742P1JWRW>).

### Arranging access to Zendesk tickets

 



 

Zendesk no longer allows new API tokens to be created as of October 27, 2026. Contact Tidio support to agree on a supported export or OAuth connection for your ticket import. Public Help Center imports above do not need an API token.

 



 

![The Zendesk menu offers Admin Center.](<https://help.tidio.com/article-media/import-knowledge-into-lyro/legacy-15388641313052.webp>)

 



 



 

Existing token management is under **Admin Center \> Apps and integrations \> APIs \> API tokens**. The following images show the previous setup screens:

 



 

![Zendesk Admin Center shows the Zendesk API menu item.](<https://help.tidio.com/article-media/import-knowledge-into-lyro/legacy-15388614980508.webp>)

 



 



 

The previous API setup screen:

 



 

![Zendesk API setup offers the Get started button.](<https://help.tidio.com/article-media/import-knowledge-into-lyro/legacy-15388641317916.webp>)

 



 



 

The previous token creation controls are no longer a supported way to create a new token:

 



 

![Zendesk API settings show token access and Add API token.](<https://help.tidio.com/article-media/import-knowledge-into-lyro/legacy-15388614983196.webp>)

 



 



 

Existing active API tokens are scheduled for deactivation on April 30, 2027, and may be deactivated sooner after inactivity. Do not rely on the old token workflow for a new import:

 



 

![Zendesk shows a newly created API token and the Save button.](<https://help.tidio.com/article-media/import-knowledge-into-lyro/legacy-15388614993180.webp>)

 



 



 

Confirm the import method with Tidio support before sharing any data.

 



 

## Sharing data with us in a safe manner

 



 

First ask Tidio support to confirm the transfer method and recipient. If support confirms Keybase encryption, use:

 

[https://keybase.io/encrypt](<https://keybase.io/encrypt>)

 



 

1. Select only the recipient confirmed by Tidio support. Do not rely on a display name alone:

 



 

![Keybase encryption shows Tidio selected as the recipient.](<https://help.tidio.com/article-media/import-knowledge-into-lyro/legacy-15388641327260.webp>)

 



 



 

2. Enter the data that you want to share into the **Message to encrypt** box, and click **Encrypt**.

 

The result will be something similar to this:

 

![Keybase shows the encrypted message ready to copy.](<https://help.tidio.com/article-media/import-knowledge-into-lyro/legacy-15388658107036.webp>)

 



 



 

3. Copy the complete encrypted message and send it through the private channel agreed with Tidio support. Do not post credentials or customer data in public channels.
