Most teams complete the migration in 1-3 business days. Setting up Converge takes about 30 minutes, connecting channels takes 2-5 minutes each, and configuring automations takes 1-2 hours. We recommend running both platforms in parallel for 1-2 weeks during the transition.

Will I lose my conversation history when switching from Kustomer?

You won't lose it -- export it before canceling Kustomer. Converge starts fresh with new conversations from your connected channels. Your Kustomer export serves as your historical archive.
