Overview
Anywhere365 is a CCaaS layer built on Microsoft Teams, organizing omnichannel customer conversations through custom Queues, Dialogue Manager IVR scripts, and UCC agent profiles. Intercom is a messaging-first customer engagement platform where conversations land in Inboxes, resolve via Fin AI Agent, and route through Workflow automations rather than telephony routing rules. The migration is primarily a data-mapping exercise for agents, contact records, and interaction history, with queue routing and IVR dialogue trees documented for rebuild in Intercom's Workflow and Operator Inbox builders. We use the Anywhere365 Core REST API with Microsoft Entra ID bearer token authentication and Intercom's REST API with standard token auth for the destination write.
Every standard and custom field arrives verified.
AI proposes the map; you confirm before any record moves.
Parent–child, lookups, and ownership stay linked.
Calls, emails, meetings — with original timestamps.
Documents, uploads, and inline notes move with the record.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a Anywhere365 object lands in Intercom, including any object-level transformations, lookup resolution, or schema-design dependencies.
Typical mapping — final map is confirmed during the sample migration step.
Anywhere365
Agent (UCC profile)
Intercom
Teammate
1:1Anywhere365 UCC profiles with presence states, skill assignments, hunt values, and WebAgent desktop configurations map to Intercom Teammates. We extract agent identities via the Core REST API and create Intercom Teammate records, preserving display name, email, and skill-group membership. Agent presence states and lowest-presence hunt values have no direct Intercom equivalent; we document them for the customer's admin to configure as Inbox assignment rules or skill-based routing in Intercom Workflows post-migration.
Anywhere365
Queue
Intercom
Inbox
1:manyAnywhere365 Queues are logical routing containers with custom routing rules, escape actions, SLA thresholds, and agent membership. Intercom Inboxes are team-scoped conversation containers with channel assignment. We map each Anywhere365 Queue to an Intercom Inbox, preserving queue name, description, and SLA threshold as Inbox settings. The routing rules, escape actions, and wrap-up codes do not migrate as code; we deliver a written inventory of every queue's routing logic (priority order, overflow targets, SLA timers) with recommended Inbox and Workflow equivalents.
Anywhere365
Dialogue Manager Script
Intercom
Workflow
lossyAnywhere365 Dialogue Manager scripts store IVR dialogue trees with branching logic across voice, chat, WhatsApp, and email channels, loading texts dynamically via text-to-speech. Intercom has no visual IVR tree equivalent; branching logic lives in Workflows with conditional actions. We export the Dialogue Manager script structure as a written document covering every branch node, condition, and prompt reference, and the customer's admin rebuilds the logic as Intercom Workflow rules. Queue jukebox media asset references are flagged for rehosting.
Anywhere365
Interaction (Call)
Intercom
Conversation (via API)
1:1Anywhere365 call records include customer identifier, agent assignment, queue wait time, duration, wrap-up code, and disposition. Intercom conversations represent the customer dialogue with a parts array for messages. We create Intercom conversation records via the API and populate the first part with a structured note containing call metadata (queue name, wait time, duration, disposition, recording reference if available). Call disposition codes map to conversation tags.
Anywhere365
Interaction (Chat, WhatsApp, SMS)
Intercom
Conversation
1:1Multichannel dialogue records from Anywhere365 web chat, WhatsApp, and SMS channels migrate to Intercom Conversations with the channel type preserved in the conversation source attribute. Thread integrity is maintained by grouping parts by interaction ID. Anywhere365 CRM Service connector links to external CRM records are preserved as custom conversation attributes for manual relinking post-migration.
Anywhere365
Interaction (Email)
Intercom
Conversation (email channel)
1:1Email interactions from Anywhere365 migrate to Intercom Conversations with source set to email. The email body becomes a conversation part with part_type set to comment, and the subject line maps to the conversation's initial title field. Sender and recipient email addresses map to the conversation contact reference.
Anywhere365
WebAgent Settings
Intercom
Admin and Inbox settings
lossyAnywhere365 WebAgent configurations (queue display preferences, call controls, tab layouts, shortcut settings) have no direct Intercom equivalent. We export a manifest of WebAgent settings as a written configuration inventory so the customer's admin can configure equivalent agent desktop preferences in Intercom Admin settings and Inbox notification rules.
Anywhere365
Custom Properties
Intercom
Custom Attributes
1:1Anywhere365 custom properties for customer segmentation, SLA tiers, and routing attributes (name-value pairs stored on agents, queues, or interactions) map to Intercom custom attributes on contacts and conversations. We export all custom property definitions with their data types and values, create matching custom attributes in the Intercom workspace before migration, and map values during the record import phase. Attributes used for SLA tiering require manual routing rule recreation in Intercom Workflow conditions.
Anywhere365
IVR Prompts and Audio Files
Intercom
Media rehost (manual)
1:1Queue jukebox announcements, hold music, and IVR prompt audio files referenced by Anywhere365 queue configurations are hosted in the Anywhere365 SaaS environment. We export a manifest of all media asset references (filename, queue association, usage context). The actual audio files require manual download, re-upload to the customer's media hosting (Intercom supports file attachments but not a hosted audio library), and relinkage to Workflow or Inbox configurations. This step requires customer-side media rehosting.
Anywhere365
Workforce Management Data
Intercom
Not migrated (documented)
1:1Anywhere365 WFM configurations (agent schedules, adherence rules, forecasting data) are available via the Core REST API where the WFM module is enabled. Intercom has no native WFM or scheduling module. We export a manifest of WFM configurations as a written reference document, and the customer's admin evaluates third-party WFM integrations (such as NICE or Playvox) if workforce management is required post-migration.
Anywhere365
Company (if CRM connector enabled)
Intercom
Company
1:1If the Anywhere365 CRM Service connector links interactions to external CRM company records (for example, Dynamics 365 or Salesforce), we extract those company records and map them to Intercom Companies. Company name, domain, and any linked custom properties migrate as custom attributes on the Intercom Company record.

Migration approach
Technical setup and Entra ID consent
We coordinate with the customer's Global Admin to grant Microsoft Entra ID Application Consent for the Anywhere365 Application ID, enabling bearer token authentication against the Core REST API. We validate API connectivity by pulling a sample of agent and queue records. Simultaneously, we provision an Intercom workspace and obtain an Admin access token with the appropriate permissions for contact, conversation, and teammate API writes.
Data extraction audit
We extract the full Anywhere365 data inventory via the Core REST API: agent identities and UCC profiles, queue configurations (routing rules, escape actions, SLA thresholds, wrap-up codes), Dialogue Manager script manifests, interaction history across all channels (calls, chats, emails, WhatsApp, SMS), WebAgent desktop settings, custom property definitions, WFM configurations, and media asset references. We produce a written data inventory document with record counts per object and flag any gaps in API accessibility before migration begins.
Schema mapping and Intercom workspace configuration
We configure the Intercom workspace before any data write: create Inboxes mapped from Anywhere365 Queues, define Teammate roles matching UCC profile skill groups, create custom attributes matching Anywhere365 custom property definitions, and configure channel integrations for any active WhatsApp or SMS connections. Dialogue Manager script structures and queue routing logic are documented in a routing inventory for Workflow rebuild. WFM configurations are exported as a written manifest.
Record migration in dependency order
We migrate in record-dependency order: Teammates first (agents created with name, email, and role), then Companies (if CRM connector data exists), then Contacts (as Intercom users or leads), then interaction history as Conversations with structured notes. Queue jukebox media asset manifest is handed to the customer's team for rehosting. Each phase emits a row-count reconciliation report before the next phase begins.
Interaction history migration with metadata preservation
Historical interactions (calls, chats, emails, WhatsApp, SMS) migrate to Intercom Conversations via the REST API. Call records include queue name, wait time, duration, disposition, and recording reference in a structured note part. Channel type is set on the conversation source attribute. Thread integrity across multi-part interactions is preserved by grouping by interaction ID. SLA and time-in-queue metrics are stored as custom conversation attributes for reporting reconstruction.
Cutover, validation, and Workflow rebuild handoff
We freeze Anywhere365 writes during cutover, run a delta migration of any records modified during the migration window, then enable Intercom as the system of record. We deliver the routing inventory (queue rules to Workflow conditions), the Dialogue Manager script document, the WebAgent settings manifest, and the WFM configuration reference to the customer's admin team for manual rebuild. We support a one-week hypercare window for reconciliation issues raised by the support team.
