Switching from Ringover to Convocore
Ringover users usually add Convocore when a cloud phone system needs AI that answers, books and logs to the CRM, not just routes. Here is how to move from Ringover to Convocore without a gap in coverage, what carries over, and what the overlap costs. You can build the agent and test it in chat on the Free plan before paying.
Steps
- Export what you have in Ringover. Export your routing rules, business hours and escalation numbers.
- Rebuild the agent in Convocore. Create an agent, paste your prompt and greeting, pick a voice, and rebuild each tool or function as a tool node or webhook. Keep the same names and fields so your downstream systems see the same data.
- Load the knowledge base. Crawl your website or upload files (PDF, Word, TXT, Markdown, CSV, JSON or HTML). On Business the crawler refreshes weekly, and daily on White Label, so answers stay current without re-uploading.
- Connect a phone number and channels. Start with call forwarding from one existing line so callers dial the same number. Then attach numbers properly: buy one inside Convocore, connect your own Twilio account, or bring your carrier over SIP trunking.
- Run both side by side. Send after hours or overflow traffic to Convocore first and set escalation to the Ringover queues or numbers. Compare containment, transfers and CSAT for 14 days before moving more volume.
- Expand, and keep what still earns its place. Move more intents and lines once the numbers hold. Most teams keep Ringover for phone lines for staff, so there is no hard cutover date.
What transfers
- Knowledge base
- Transfers fully. Re-crawl the same URLs or upload the same files. Workspace limits are 25,000 documents on Pro, 100,000 on Business and 500,000 on White Label.
- Prompts and instructions
- Copy over as text. Remove Ringover specific variable syntax and function names, then retest each tool call.
- Phone numbers
- Nothing has to move. Forward the lines you want automated to Convocore, or connect them over SIP trunking, and transfer escalations back to Ringover. Port numbers only if you later leave Ringover; forward calls while a port is in progress so no calls drop.
- Integrations
- Not copied automatically; reconnect them. Calendar and email integrations are on every paid plan, CRM integrations and live handoff start on Pro, and webhooks, the full REST API and MCP start on Business.
- Conversation history
- Stays in Ringover. Export transcripts and recordings you need for records before you cancel. Convocore logs every conversation from the first day.
Timeline
A single workflow pilot usually goes live in 1 to 2 weeks, most of it spent on call routing changes, then 14 days of measurement before adding lines or locations.
Cost of running both
There is little true overlap, because you keep Ringover for phone lines for staff. The added cost is the Convocore plan: Voice starts on Business at $99 a month ($66 a month billed annually) with 2 number slots, 3 concurrent calls and $25 of monthly usage credit; call minutes beyond that are billed as usage. White Label at $199 a month raises that to 10 concurrent calls.
