Move a texting connector with a record of what changed

Treat a connector change as a controlled data move. A successful login is only the beginning.

Capture the existing map

Inventory the connected accounts, line IDs, CRM location or workspace IDs, contact mappings and automation owners. Record the scopes each credential permits without copying the credential into the migration document. Save the configuration and the provider’s supported export format.

Choose sample conversations containing ordinary replies, an attachment and a reassignment. These will show whether the destination preserves useful context rather than merely importing contact names.

Define the cutover boundary

Choose a timestamp or another supported boundary separating old and new event handling. Explain how events arriving late will be reconciled. Keep both workflows from independently responding to the same incoming message during the overlap.

Confirm number-transfer requirements separately if the sender will also move. A connector cutover does not, by itself, move the underlying line or its channel identity.

Reconcile before reopening every sequence

Check the sample records in the destination, including timestamps, attachments, owners and paused states. Compare event counts over a small agreed window and investigate differences rather than discarding them as migration noise.

Restore automations gradually under a named owner. Keep the rollback criteria, retained exports and removal of old credentials on the completion checklist. Document which system owns each responsibility after the move.
