Switching from Intercom Fin to Convocore
Teams usually move from Intercom when they want AI on the phone and on WhatsApp as well as in the web messenger, on a flat plan instead of a per resolution fee. Here is how to move from Intercom 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 Intercom. Export your help center articles, saved replies (macros) and your top conversation categories by volume.
- Rebuild the agent in Convocore. Create an agent, paste your main instructions into its prompt, and rebuild only the paths that take an action (booking, lead capture, handoff) as tool nodes. Let the knowledge base answer the FAQ branches instead of rebuilding every button.
- 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 your channels. Add the web widget to your site and connect WhatsApp, Instagram, Messenger, Telegram, Discord or email. All chat channels are included from Pro.
- Run both side by side. Send one channel, one number or after hours traffic to Convocore for about 14 days while Intercom 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 Intercom baseline, keep Intercom 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. Intercom flow diagrams and button trees do not import, so expect to rewrite them as plain instructions, which is usually shorter.
- Phone numbers
- If you only ran chat on Intercom, there is nothing to port. If you add voice later, it starts on Business with 2 number slots.
- 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 Intercom. Export transcripts and recordings you need for records before you cancel. Convocore logs every conversation from the first day.
Timeline
Most teams rebuild the main flows in under a week because the knowledge base replaces most branches, then run 14 days side by side. Plan 1 to 3 weeks in total.
Cost of running both
Expect one month of overlap. Pro at $59 a month ($39 billed annually) covers every chat channel, live handoff and CRM integrations. Cancel Intercom after the parallel run and check its renewal date first.
