Switching from Sierra to Convocore
Teams usually look past Sierra when they need omnichannel agents live this quarter, not after a custom enterprise program. Here is how to move from Sierra 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 Sierra. List the top 5 intents Sierra covers (or was meant to cover) and gather the FAQs, site URLs and booking rules behind them.
- 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 one channel, one number or after hours traffic to Convocore for about 14 days while Sierra handles the rest. Read transcripts daily and fix gaps in the prompt or knowledge base.
- Cut over, then cancel. Move the rest of the traffic once quality matches your Sierra baseline, keep Sierra live for a few days as a fallback, then cancel or downgrade.
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 Sierra specific variable syntax and function names, then retest each tool call.
- Phone numbers
- Keep them. Numbers on Twilio connect through your own Twilio account; numbers on another carrier connect over SIP trunking or can be ported. Forward calls during a port 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 Sierra. Export transcripts and recordings you need for records before you cancel. Convocore logs every conversation from the first day.
Timeline
A focused pilot on one intent, brand or after hours line usually goes live in 1 to 3 weeks, then 14 days against your existing baseline before expanding.
Cost of running both
Run the pilot before your Sierra renewal so the overlap is one cycle at most. 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.
