Will the original assignees, message authors and created dates be preserved?
Yes. Created-time metadata is carried across, and so are assignees and message authors who have a user account in Tidio. Where Tidio cannot store one of them natively, it is kept as embedded metadata on the migrated record.
If the new system can't natively support an old record type, what are my options?
We handle it case by case. While mapping your data, we identify every record type without a direct counterpart in Tidio, review sample records from it and propose how it can be represented, based on what Tidio supports: map it to the closest native object, create a custom field or object, fold it into the parent record as text or a note, attach it as a file, or keep it in a read-only archive. You choose the approach, we write the migration scripts to place the data there, so it comes across in the form you choose instead of being left behind, and you see how it looks in a sample migration before we run the full set.
Can we choose which Tidio inbox our Trengo tickets go to?
Yes, where Tidio's API lets us set a ticket's inbox. We map each Trengo group to an inbox in Tidio, so for example tickets from a Sales group land in your Sales inbox. If you want some tickets to land somewhere else, tell us during scoping and we build that mapping into the migration. If you want changes after go-live, we can re-run the scripts to move them.
Do you migrate our Trengo workflows, triggers and automations to Tidio, or just the tickets?
They can be part of the migration. We recreate your existing Trengo triggers and automations in Tidio using its own conditions and actions, and agree the exact list of rules with you during scoping. Designing new workflows beyond the ones you have today is separate, and is best done by your team or your implementation partner.
What happens to Trengo tickets assigned to agents who have left the team or don't have an account in Tidio?
They still come across. Before the migration runs, you decide where they go: to a fallback owner you choose, or left unassigned where Tidio allows it. Either way, each ticket can get a tag with the original agent's name, for example Assigned_to_Jane, so your team can still see and filter who handled it and reassign them later.
Can we merge several Trengo accounts into one Tidio account and still tell which account each ticket came from?
Yes. Tickets from several Trengo accounts can be consolidated into one Tidio account, and each ticket is tagged with the account it came from so your team can filter by origin. A shared migration tag can also go on every imported ticket, which keeps historical records separate from new work.
Which of our Trengo ticket tags carry over to Tidio, and can migrated tickets be marked so we can tell them apart?
The tags on the tickets being migrated. Tags come across as part of each migrated ticket, so a tag that isn't on any migrated ticket isn't created in Tidio, and you can also limit the migration to a list of tags you choose in the migration checklist. Each migration is a custom script, so we can also stamp every imported ticket with a tag such as "migrated", or, where Tidio has custom ticket fields, a field value you choose, so they are easy to filter, and if you ask for a change after reviewing migrated tickets, we re-sync those tickets with the update. The sample migration shows exactly how your tags appear before the full run.
Will the migration set off automations or send emails or notifications to customers, our team or anyone else?
No. Before the sample or full migration starts, we confirm with you that nothing in Tidio will send messages about the migrated data: we import with notifications switched off wherever Tidio allows it, and either pause any automation that could send them for the migration window or give it a condition, such as a suppression tag, that skips migrated records, which lets your live automations keep running for new records. We only proceed once you have confirmed it. If you want anyone told about the move, that message is sent separately, once the migrated data has been checked.
Can we migrate only our Trengo contacts who have tickets, not our whole contact list?
Yes. We pull your tickets first, collect the distinct requesters from them, and migrate only those contact records. Contacts with no ticket history are not added to Tidio.
Can you migrate data that Tidio can't take in through an API?
In many cases, yes. Where something can't be written through an API, we recreate it through Tidio's user interface where the interface allows it, and where that work is repetitive we script and automate it. We tell you up front which items are handled this way, because recreating them through the interface can add time to the schedule.
Will full Trengo ticket conversations come across, or only notes on each ticket?
We migrate the full conversation on each ticket, not a summary saved as notes. Where Trengo's API doesn't expose part of the history, our engineers retrieve it from Trengo directly and work out a route to load it into Tidio. You check the result in a sample migration before the full run begins.
What happens if Tidio requires fields our Trengo data doesn't have?
We check the destination for required fields your source data cannot fill and bring each one to you before those records are migrated. Together we agree how each one is handled, such as a mapping from an existing field, a default value, or, where Tidio lets that field be made optional, setting it to not required for the migration so you can make it required again once the migration is complete. The migration then runs with that rule applied, so no records are rejected or left behind.
What happens if some Trengo tickets fail to migrate?
Every ticket that errors is logged. We review it, fix the cause and re-sync it, then validate the result before cutover. When the migration is complete you receive a list of every migrated ticket, so you can check it against Trengo.
What happens to Trengo comments written by agents who have since left the company?
Their comments migrate with the rest of the ticket history. If the original author does not have an account in Tidio, we can add a line at the start of the comment naming who wrote it, so it stays attributable.
Do internal notes and system-generated notes from Trengo migrate to Tidio, or only customer-facing replies?
Internal notes can come across, and so can system-generated notes where Trengo's API makes them available. During scoping you choose which notes to include, so Tidio holds the history your team will actually use.
Can you assign migrated tickets to Tidio groups based on the email address they were sent to?
Yes, where Trengo's API shows which address each ticket was sent to and Tidio's API lets us set each ticket's group. Routing rules like "every ticket sent to this address goes to that group" are written into the migration script, so tickets arrive in Tidio already in the right groups. You confirm the rules with us up front and check the result on the sample migration before the full run.
Can we keep spam and sales emails out of Tidio?
Yes. We agree filtering rules with you up front so spam and sales emails are excluded rather than imported. Afterwards you receive a list of every ticket we pulled from Trengo, with excluded tickets marked as skipped.
Will emojis and special characters in our Trengo tickets come through correctly in Tidio?
Yes, as long as Tidio can store them. Our scripts carry emojis and special characters across intact, and we can clean out stray encoding characters left behind in older tickets before anything is written to Tidio. You can check the result in the sample migration before the full run.
Can you migrate hundreds of thousands of Trengo tickets and contacts to Tidio?
Yes. Every migration is a custom script built for your project, so volume is something we plan for, not a limit on what can move. At large volumes, run time is set mainly by how fast Trengo's and Tidio's APIs accept requests, and we plan the full run around that. Before the full run, we test the mapping and throughput with a sample migration.
We use a lot of custom fields in Trengo. Can you map them to Tidio?
Where Tidio has a place for them, yes. Each migration is a custom script written for your project, so your custom fields and structure are mapped to Tidio's model rather than forced through an import template. Where field types differ, such as a value stored as text in Trengo that Tidio needs as a number, the script converts it. We agree the mapping with you and prove it on a sample migration before the full run.
Can you combine data from Trengo and other support tools into one Tidio account?
Yes. Each tool's data is extracted separately and written into the same Tidio account. How records from the different tools fit together is settled in the data mapping before the build. The sample migration includes data from every source, so you can check the combined result before the full run.
Will our Trengo ticket formatting, including HTML content, carry over to Tidio?
Yes. The migration script converts ticket content, including HTML, into the format Tidio expects, and our verification checks compare migrated tickets with the originals, including how the HTML renders. The sample migration lets you compare migrated tickets side by side with the originals before the full run, and if anything renders differently, such as HTML appearing as raw text, we adjust the script and re-run the samples until you sign off.
Our Trengo account already holds tickets imported from an earlier migration. Will that cause problems when we migrate to Tidio?
It can make the number of tickets we pull differ from the count Trengo shows, so tell us about the earlier import during scoping. We compare those two numbers before the full run, so if earlier-imported history makes them differ, we find out why first. When the migration is complete, the reconciliation report accounts for every ticket.
Are deleted Trengo tickets included in the migration?
Only if you want them. You decide during scoping whether deleted and spam tickets are included, and we apply that choice to every run, including the final delta sync. Some platforms keep deleted tickets as scrubbed records with no remaining content; we flag any we find and migrate them only if you ask.
Do you migrate Trengo live chat, SMS and messaging conversations, such as WhatsApp, to Tidio, and do they keep their original channel?
Yes. Chat conversations and messages from channels such as WhatsApp or Instagram are migrated as tickets alongside your email history, where Trengo makes them available through its API or an export. Tidio may not let imported tickets keep every original channel: some platforms take most imported tickets in through a general API channel instead. So we keep the original channel wherever Tidio allows it, and can tag each ticket with its original one, such as chat, SMS or WhatsApp, so your team can still find and filter them. If an export leaves out the message content for some channels, we tell you and agree another way to retrieve it.
Will Trengo tickets that have no customer email address, or whose contact can't be found, still be migrated to Tidio?
Yes, if you want them. We look the contact up again before leaving any ticket behind: when a ticket can't be linked to its contact on the first pass, we run a second lookup, also checking elsewhere in the ticket's data, and attach the requester before the ticket is migrated. Some help desks need an email address or telephone number to create the customer a ticket belongs to, so we flag every ticket whose requester still has neither, including where Trengo's privacy settings hide the email from its API, and send you the list. You can then give us the right email for each requester, or have the tickets migrated with placeholder email addresses, and we migrate them that way.
If our Trengo spam tickets are migrated to Tidio, will they still be marked as spam?
Yes, they can be. If you choose to include spam tickets, we mark them, for example with a spam tag, alongside a migration tag if you use one, so they stay easy to find and filter in Tidio, and we include some in the sample so you can check them. If you'd rather leave spam behind, we agree a filter during scoping and it isn't imported.
If we collect customer satisfaction (CSAT) ratings in Trengo, can you migrate them to Tidio?
Yes, where Tidio can store them. Where it accepts satisfaction ratings, we migrate them with their tickets, which can need an extra permission on the new account's connection. Where it has no native place for historical ratings, we bring the scores across another way, such as a custom field or a tag on each ticket, agreed with you during scoping.
Can the activity history on each Trengo ticket, such as status changes and assignments, be migrated to Tidio?
Usually not as a native timeline. Event history such as status changes and assignment timestamps stays with your Trengo account and generally isn't something a help desk accepts on import, so it is left out of the migration. Each ticket still arrives with its full conversation, status and assignee, and with its original timestamps where Tidio accepts them, and parts of the history that matter to you can be kept another way, such as a tag with the ticket's original status or an internal note.
Can you migrate Trengo tickets that belong to private or restricted categories?
Yes, once the migration's connection can reach them. If a category or group is private or restricted in Trengo or Tidio, the account we connect with may not be able to read or create tickets in it, so we flag every ticket this affects. You can then lift the restriction or give the connection the access it needs, such as an admin-level account, and we migrate the remaining tickets, or tell us to leave them out.
If we have Facebook and Instagram comments in Trengo, will they keep the right author and show where they came from in Tidio?
Yes, as far as Trengo records it. Each message is attributed to the author Trengo's API reports, and messages from your team show under the right agent as long as that agent's account exists in Tidio before the tickets are migrated; otherwise they fall back to the default agent. We also carry over the message source in as much detail as the API provides, for example telling comments on Instagram posts apart from comments on Instagram ads.
Can you also migrate email threads from our email account, such as Gmail, that never became tickets in Trengo?
Yes. Once your email account, such as Gmail, is connected, we can pull selected email threads directly from it, for example for a date range you choose, and migrate them into Tidio as tickets. We share the list of threads with you to confirm before anything moves. Because they were never tickets, some details can look different from tickets migrated from Trengo.
Will Trengo tickets that have no messages or comments still be migrated to Tidio?
Yes, if you want them. Some help desks can't create a ticket without at least one message, so we flag every ticket that has none and send you the list rather than skipping them silently. We first check whether the content is stored elsewhere in Trengo, such as a ticket description we can use as the first message. Otherwise we can migrate the ticket with a placeholder message, or leave it out if you prefer.
What happens to a conversation in Trengo that mixes email and chat messages if Tidio keeps those channels separate?
We agree the approach with you during scoping. One option is to split the conversation into a ticket for each channel, each carrying the same subject, tags and other details, so the two are easy to find together on the same customer. If you'd rather have a single thread, we confirm during scoping whether Tidio can hold it that way, and you check the result in the sample migration.
Will a customer in Trengo with several email addresses or telephone numbers end up as duplicate contacts in Tidio?
Not if we agree the merges with you first. We identify records that share an email address or telephone number and propose merges in the migration checklist, where you confirm each one and choose which address stays primary. Each merged set becomes one contact holding all of that customer's tickets and, where Tidio allows it, all of their email addresses. We don't merge on a guess, so records you don't confirm stay as they are.
If we use a chatbot in Trengo, do you migrate it and its conversation flows to Tidio, or only the conversations it handled?
We migrate the conversations it handled, not the chatbot itself. Every chat conversation the bot took part in comes across with your ticket history, while the chatbot's own setup isn't migrated as data and is set up again in Tidio where it offers one. Workflows and automation rules are a separate item, and the ones you have today can be recreated in Tidio as agreed during scoping.
Will our customers be able to see their migrated conversations in Tidio, for example in a customer portal?
It depends on Tidio. Migrated tickets are attached to each customer's contact record like any other ticket, so where Tidio has a portal that shows customers their own tickets, the migrated ones can appear there, while internal notes stay private to your agents. Some portals only show tickets or replies set up in a particular way, so we confirm during scoping how imported tickets show to customers in Tidio and check it in the sample migration.
Can our agents reply to customers from migrated Trengo tickets in Tidio?
Yes, where Tidio treats migrated tickets as regular tickets and your support email is connected to it. An agent's reply from a migrated ticket then goes out to the customer, and the customer's next reply continues on that same ticket. Some help desks keep imported tickets read-only, so we confirm this for Tidio and test it on your account before your team relies on it.
Will the information that integrations show in our Trengo tickets be migrated to Tidio?
Not if that information lives in the integration rather than in Trengo. Widgets and similar panels are often drawn live by the integration, and where Trengo doesn't store that data or return it through its API, it can't be migrated with the tickets. The tickets and their conversations migrate as normal, and your team reconnects each integration to Tidio after cutover.
