The root cause was that Intercom supports a security feature called HMAC (Hash-based Message Authentication Code), but Glide does not currently support it. To work around this, you have to disable HMAC in your Intercom configuration. You can read more about this [here](https://help.glideapps.com/en/articles/10228178-the-intercom-messenger-does-not-display-in-my-app).
