Onboard an Intercom App to SSPM Using Login Credentials

Onboard an Intercom app to SSPM to detect posture risks.
For SSPM to detect posture risks in your Intercom instance, you must onboard your Intercom instance to SSPM. Through the onboarding process, SSPM logs in to Intercom using administrator account credentials. SSPM uses this account to scan your Intercom instance for misconfigured settings. If there are misconfigured settings, SSPM suggests a remediation action based on best practices.
