Using JWT for Help Center authentication - how do I complete the login flow?

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to implement authentication for the Help Center and ticket portal using JWT, but I'm having trouble finding documentation about what happens after generating the JWT.

I already have the JWT generated on my backend, but I can't find clear docs explaining:

  • How to use that JWT to actually log the user into the Help Center

  • How to authenticate them for the ticket/request portal

  • Whether there's a specific endpoint, redirect flow, or client-side method required after obtaining the JWT

I also tried following the approach discussed in this community thread, but I couldn't get it to work in my implementation:
https://community.intercom.com/settings-security-permissions-22/dynamic-help-center-login-link-11313?tid=11313&fid=22

 

Most documentation I found explains how to generate the JWT, but not how to complete the login flow with it.

Does anyone have:

  • Documentation

  • Example implementations

  • Articles or guides

I tried this

on how to finish the login process once the JWT is created?

Thanks!
