## Upgrading information
-Version 2 of intercom-ruby is not backwards compatible with previous versions. Be sure to test this new version before deploying to production. One other change you will need to make as part of the upgrade is to set `Intercom.app_api_key` and not set `Intercom.api_key` (you can continue to use your existing API key).
-This version of the gem is compatible with `Ruby 2.1`, `Ruby 2.0` & `Ruby 1.9.3`
+Version 3 of intercom-ruby is not backwards compatible with previous versions.
+Version 3 moves away from a global setup approach to the use of an Intercom Client.
+
+This version of the gem is compatible with `Ruby 2.1` and above.
+
## Installation
gem install intercom
Using bundler:
- gem 'intercom', "~> 2.5.4"
+ gem 'intercom', "~> 3.0.0b1"
## Basic Usage
-### Configure your access credentials
+### Configure your client
```ruby
-Intercom.app_id = "my_app_id"
-Intercom.app_api_key = "my-super-crazy-api-key"
+intercom = Intercom::Client.new(app_id: 'my_app_id', api_key: 'my_api_key')
```
-You can get your `app_id` from the URL when you're logged into Intercom (it's the alphanumeric just after `/apps/`) and your API key from the API keys settings page (under your app settings in Intercom).
+You can get your `app_id` from the URL when you're logged into Intercom (it's the alphanumeric just after `/apps/`) and your API key from the API keys integration settings page (under your app settings - integrations in Intercom).

-payload = Intercom::Notification.new(notification_hash)

-payload.type
-# => 'user.created'

-payload.model_type

-
-Note that models generated from webhook notifications might differ slightly from models directly acquired via the API. If this presents a problem, calling `payload.load` will load the model from the API using the `id` field.

### Errors
You do not need to deal with the HTTP response from an API call directly. If there is an unsuccessful response then an error that is a subclass of Intercom:Error will be raised. If desired, you can get at the http_code of an Intercom::Error via its `http_code` method.
The list of different error subclasses are listed below. As they all inherit off Intercom::IntercomError you can choose to rescue Intercom::IntercomError or
else rescue the more specific error subclass.
