Use live Intercom events without a hard page refresh

intercomUserUpdate.js

//does Intercom exist in this scope
if(window.Intercom){
  //track our event
  window.Intercom("trackEvent", "YOUR EVENT NAME");
  setTimeout(function(){
    //refresh our user, so we can take actions based off of the action above
    Intercom("update", {last_request_at: parseInt((new Date()).getTime()/1000)})
  }, 500);
};
