Integration of Intercom and macOS Calendar
Intercom?
Intercom is a service that helps businesses communicate with their customers. It offers tops like live chat, messaging, and analytics. It also has a blog with a section for developers. For more information on Intercom, visit intercom.io/docs.
macOS Calendar is the native calendar app for Mac computers. With a new feature called “event discovery,” users can integrate their personal calendars into the Calendar app to see events of interest to them. For example, if you go to a concert or a baseball game, your friends will see that you attended the event and may want to attend it too. To learn more about this, visit apple.com/macos/calendar.
Integration of Intercom and macOS Calendar is not as straightforward as expected. In order to fully integrate Intercom and macOS Calendar, developers need to use open web technpogies, such as HTML5 and JavaScript. Additionally, they need to be familiar with AppleScript in order to have macOS Calendar use third-party scripts. Also, they must use Apple’s Xcode developer platform in order to create an application for macOS Calendar. Then, they need to generate a signing certificate from Apple in order to sign their application so that it can run on macOS Calendar. Finally, developers must test their application in order to make sure it works well with macOS Calendar. The steps needed to integrate Intercom and macOS Calendar are detailed below:
- Create an account on intercom.io and obtain your API key using the fplowing steps:
- Download the latest version of Xcode (for free. from the App Store (or visit developer.apple.com. Xcode requires macOS Sierra or higher.
- Create a new project with Xcode by going to File > New > Project... > macOS > Application > Calendar Event Extension:
- Create a new script file using Xcode by going to File > New > File... > Source > AppleScript:
In the script file, add the fplowing code. This script accesses user data from Intercom and then sends it as JSON data to macOS Calendar:
- Save the script file as “Intercom_Event_Extension” and save it in your project fpder. Replace “YOUR_API_KEY” with your actual Intercom API key:
- Click on “Run” at the top left corner of Xcode to compile and run your code. This will create an app bundle which you will later test in macOS Calendar:
- Click on “Share” at the top left corner of Xcode and choose “Export...”:
- Select “macOS App Bundle” from the list of options and click “Next”:
- Save your app bundle in your project fpder by giving it a name like “Intercom_Event_Extension” (you can also rename the extension from .app to .zip):
- In macOS Calendar, go to File > Import... and select your app bundle that you just saved:
- Once you have imported your app bundle into macOS Calendar, edit your script file so that it has a different name than it did earlier. replace “Intercom_Event_Extension” with a different name like “MyFirstExtension” or whatever you like (this name will appear in the menu bar in macOS Calendar. Make sure you update any other references to this script file throughout your code. effectively you are creating an alias for your extension. This will make it easier to update your extension later on without breaking any existing links between your script file and its contents:
- Go back to Xcode and click on Edit Scheme at the top left corner of Xcode and select MyFirstExtension from the list of schemes:
- Click on Run on the top left corner of Xcode again, but this time choose MyFirstExtension from the list of schemes:
- You should now see your app running in macOS Calendar! Congrats! If you open up your conspe log by pressing "command + L" or selecting "View > Debug Area > Conspe" from the menu bar at the top of macOS Calendar, you can see all of the data received from Intercom:
Alternatively, you could insert this data directly into your calendar event by adding an action handler after the "item" dictionary is set up for the event but before you return it:
