Connect it in a few steps.

Set up with Zapier
  1. 1
    Set the trigger. Create a Zap with Intercom as the trigger app and "New conversation" as the event. Connect your account.
  2. 2
    Add the API action. Add APIVerve as the action, select the Air Quality API, and map your trigger data to the request.
  3. 3
    Send it back. Add a second Intercom action for "Create user" and map the returned fields (like pm2_5) into it.
  4. 4
    Test & turn on. Test the Zap with real data to confirm the mapping, then turn it on.
Set up with Make
  1. 1
    Add the trigger. Create a scenario and add a Intercom module set to "New conversation". Authenticate your account.
  2. 2
    Call the API. Add an HTTP module pointing at api.apiverve.com/v1/airquality with your x-api-key header. Pass the trigger's data as the input.
  3. 3
    Parse & map. Add a JSON module to read the response, then a Intercom module for "Create user". Map fields like data.pm2_5 into place.
  4. 4
    Activate. Run once to confirm the mapping, then switch the scenario on and set its schedule.
Set up with n8n
  1. 1
    Add the trigger node. Start a workflow with a Intercom trigger node for "New conversation" and connect your credentials.
  2. 2
    Add an HTTP Request node. Point it at api.apiverve.com/v1/airquality using Header Auth (x-api-key). Feed in the trigger data.
  3. 3
    Map with expressions. Add a Intercom node for "Create user" and reference the response with expressions such as {{ $json.data.pm2_5 }}.
  4. 4
    Execute & activate. Execute manually to verify, then activate the workflow for production.
