Token Scopes

Updated on March 18, 2024

Privacy and security are gaining in importance as technology takes over the world. More systems get interconnected every day, exchanging streams of data between each other. It is important, in that regard, that integrations only have access to the data they require to operate.

Some integrations, for instance, may only need to send messages on your behalf: in this case, they should not even have the permission to read your messages. We would give them the scope website:conversation:messages with write permissions.

If any of those integration tokens were to leak and be re-used by hackers, no data would be put at risk, as the token scopes are not broad enough!

Scopes only apply to Production tokens. You would use a Production token when running your integration "in the real world". Note that Development tokens are not subject to scopes. Development tokens are heavily limited, therefore you should only use them for development purposes, ie. on your local computer.

Available Scopes

Multiple granular scopes are available, each one with associated read or write permissions.

Depending on the REST API route that you need to access, or the RTM API event that you want to receive, you will need to request certain scopes.

All available scopes are listed in this table:

💡 Tip: the REST API Reference shows the required scopes for each route. Note that if the route method is either POST, PUT, PATCH or DELETE, you will need to use write permissions. Otherwise, read permissions are sufficient. You may also check the RTM API Reference for required scopes per event.

Considerations

Submission review process

As we want to ensure each integration with Crisp uses subscribed website data in a fair and privacy-first way, you need to request scopes through our submission review process over the Marketplace.

Whenever requesting scopes, you are prompted to choose its permission level, from read-only, to both read and write, or even write-only (where this is relevant).

Then, we ask that you explain why do you need this scope (ie. to do what, what do you intend to build with this scope?).
