Migrate your Dossier Inbox data
Team inbox management platform for small groups handling shared email and website chat, with integrations into Slack, Asana, and HubSpot.
In its favor
Why people choose Dossier Inbox
The signal that keeps Dossier Inbox on the shortlist. Sourced from G2, Capterra, and customer scoping calls.
Small teams choose Dossier Inbox because it consolidates email and website chat into one shared team inbox without requiring a full enterprise helpdesk setup.
Gmail and Outlook 365 sync is available on the Standard plan, making it straightforward for teams already using Google's or Microsoft's email infrastructure.
The platform targets teams of up to 5 people on the Standard plan, which appeals to small agencies and startups seeking low-cost shared inbox management.
Built-in integrations with Slack, Asana, and HubSpot allow teams to route and track customer conversations alongside their existing project management and CRM tools.
Box, Dropbox, Google Drive, and OneDrive file sync on the Standard plan lets teams attach cloud documents directly from their existing storage provider.
Teams outgrow the message storage limits and find the per-user, per-message pricing model becomes expensive as their support volume increases.
The platform is designed for small teams, so organizations scaling beyond 5–10 users report that inbox management features lack the routing, SLA, and reporting tools available in dedicated helpdesk platforms.
Limited public documentation and API details make it difficult for technical teams to self-serve integrations, automation, or data extraction without vendor involvement.

What gets migrated
Dossier Inbox object support
Object-by-object support for Dossier Inbox migrations. Per-pair details surface during scoping.
Conversations
Mapping requiredConversations are the top-level container for each customer email thread or chat session in Dossier Inbox. We extract the full conversation record including thread ID, subject, created date, and team assignment, then map it to the destination platform's ticket or conversation object.
Messages
Mapping requiredIndividual emails and chat messages within a conversation carry sender, recipient, timestamp, body content, and attachment references. We export all message records and map them into the destination ticket's activity or message log, preserving read/unread status where supported.
Contacts
Mapping requiredContact profiles store customer names, email addresses, and metadata. We extract contacts from conversation participants and assign them to the destination CRM or helpdesk contact object, merging duplicates by email address.
Mailbox Accounts
Mapping requiredGroup inboxes (e.g. [email protected]) are configured as Mailbox Accounts in Dossier Inbox. We export the mailbox configuration and associate it with the conversations routed through it during migration scoping.
Team Members
Mapping requiredTeam member records include name, email, and role. We map these to owner or agent assignments in the destination platform, using email as the matching key.
Labels and Tags
Mapping requiredDossier Inbox supports labels for organizing conversations. We export all label assignments per conversation and apply corresponding tags or categories in the destination system, flagging any label names that exceed destination character limits.
Attachments
Mapping requiredFile attachments on messages are exported to cloud storage and re-linked in the destination platform. We handle attachment size limits by splitting oversized batches across multiple import jobs.
Chat Widget Sessions
Mapping requiredWebsite chat conversations originate from the chat widget integration. We export these sessions as conversation records with a distinct source flag so they land in the correct channel in the destination system.
