Deleting Intercom as a source

Deleting a source is permanent and cannot be undone.

Before deleting a source, please note the following:

  • ChartMogul immediately deletes this source and irrevocably removes its data.
  • All MRR adjustments and connected subscriptions will be lost.
  • If this source contains a merged customer, ChartMogul uses data from the non-deleted source for the customer’s record. The record may display data overwritten during the merge, and not the customer’s details at the time of import. Learn more about unmerging customers.

To delete an Intercom source, navigate to Settings & Data > Sources. Find the source in the list and click the Settings   icon. From there, click Delete This Source.
