Zoho SalesIQ provides UI-based export for four modules — Visitors, Chats, Feedback, and Reports — accessible from each module's list view. For bulk or programmatic export, use the REST API v2: authenticate via OAuth at api-console.zoho.com with SalesIQ.conversations.READ scope, then call GET /api/v2/{screen_name}/conversations to list conversations with filters for status, date range, department, and attender. Pull individual transcripts with GET /api/v2/{screen_name}/conversations/{conversation_id}/transcript. Non-exportable items include Zobot flows, intelligent triggers, and visitor/chat routing rules — document these manually before canceling.

Yes, through the REST API v2. First, list conversations using GET /api/v2/{screen_name}/conversations with filters: status, from_time/to_time, department_id, attender_id, email, visitor_type, limit (max 99 per page), page, and sort_by. For each conversation, pull the full transcript via GET /api/v2/{screen_name}/conversations/{conversation_id}/transcript, which includes threaded messages and attachment references. You can also export individual chats as PDF or JSON using POST /api/v2/{screen_name}/conversations/{conversation_id}/export — if GDPR password protection is enabled on your account, you must include a password in the request body. Pagination is required for accounts with more than 99 conversations.

Yes. Zoho SalesIQ's REST API v2 supports programmatic data export. Key endpoints: GET /conversations (list with filters), GET /conversations/{id}/transcript (full message history), POST /conversations/{id}/export (PDF or JSON format), GET /conversations/{id}/visitor (visitor details), GET /conversations/{id}/attachments/{id}/download (file attachments), and GET /cannedresponses (canned reply templates). Authentication uses OAuth via api-console.zoho.com with scopes like SalesIQ.conversations.READ and SalesIQ.conversations.CREATE. Note that API server URIs vary by data center: salesiq.zoho.com (US), salesiq.zoho.eu (EU), salesiq.zoho.in (IN), salesiq.zoho.com.au (AU), salesiq.zoho.com.cn (CN), and salesiq.zoho.jp (JP).

The switch itself is free — most platforms offer free trials. The main costs are time (1-3 days for a typical migration) and any overlap period running both platforms. If you're on SalesIQ Professional at $17/operator/month for a 5-person team ($85/month annual, ~$110 monthly billed), switching to a flat-rate platform like Converge at $49/month saves $432-720/year. Export your visitor and chat data via the UI and REST API (free on all plans) before canceling. Non-exportable items (Zobot flows, routing rules, intelligent triggers) need manual documentation.
