visitor = intercom.visitors.find(:id => "530370b477ad7120001d")
visitor = intercom.visitors.find(:user_id => "8a88a590-e1c3-41e2-a502-e0649dbf721c")

Visitors can be looked up individually via their id, or with a user_id parameter.
To get the visitor user_id from the browser you can use the Intercom JS SDK following method : Intercom('getVisitorId').
