Migrating from re:amaze to Richpanel: A Simple Guide
What to expect
Moving from re:amaze to Richpanel is a quick process that typically takes only 1-3 days. This guide will walk you through the steps to make your switch smooth and hassle-free.
Your migration journey
Before migration
- All customer conversations (email, chat, social) go to re:amaze
- Your team handles everything in re:amaze
- Your channels are connected to re:amaze
During transition (1-3 days)
- New conversations start going to Richpanel
- Some agents (20% of your total team size) stay in re:amaze to finish up old open conversations in re:amaze
- We add a rule in re:amaze that begins auto-closing tickets
After migration
- All new customer conversations go to Richpanel
- Your entire team works in Richpanel
- re:amaze is disconnected with your channels
5 Easy steps to switch
1. Pick your switch date & cut-off time
Choose a day when you typically receive fewer customer conversations.
- Set a specific time to make the switch, for example 1st of March at 8am EST
- Let your team know about the change with a simple email or a Slack message
2. Connect your channels to Richpanel
On the switch date, set up these channels in Richpanel:
- Email accounts
- Facebook and Instagram pages
- Any other messaging platforms
Quick Tip: Most channels can be connected in just a few clicks through your Richpanel dashboard.
3. Manage existing conversations
Do not disconnect your email channel so agents can finish replying to existing open conversions.
For conversations that started in re:amaze:
- Have a small team finish up open conversations in re:amaze
- Most open tickets can be resolved within 1-2 days
4. Set up a rule in re:amaze to auto close all conversions that come after the switch date
Create an automation workflow for closing conversations during the switch.
- Add an automation workflow to tag "reply-in-richpanel" and close all the incoming new tickets, but ensure that it won't trigger any notifications to the customer.
5. Move your support team
Transition your team quickly:
- Request your agents to complete the training videos
- Assign 80% of the agents to handle new conversations in Richpanel
- Keep 20% of agents to finish up re:amaze conversations and then move to Richpanel.
