Migrate your Heyday AI data

Conversational AI chatbot platform for retailers, built for always-on FAQ automation and live chat. It integrates with e-commerce and social channels but sits behind Hootsuite's ecosystem with no standalone public API.

In its favor

Why people choose Heyday AI

The signal that keeps Heyday AI on the shortlist. Sourced from G2, Capterra, and customer scoping calls.

Retail brands with high-volume FAQ and order-tracking queries adopt Heyday to offload repetitive support tasks to an always-on AI, freeing agents for sales conversations

Integration with major e-commerce platforms and social messaging channels provides a unified inbox for social and chat customer interactions

Brands already using Hootsuite for social media management can add Heyday as a conversational layer without adopting a separate vendor stack

The 80% FAQ automation claim appeals to customer service leaders seeking measurable deflection rates and reduced per-contact cost

Presence on social and messaging apps where shoppers already spend time aligns with omnichannel retail strategies for reaching customers on their preferred platforms

Lack of a documented standalone public API makes Heyday difficult to integrate with custom internal tools or migrate away from without vendor assistance

Pricing requires direct sales consultation rather than transparent published tiers, which creates friction for SMBs evaluating cost

When Heyday's AI cannot resolve a query, routing to human agents can feel inconsistent, and some reviews note response quality drops on complex issues

Brands outgrowing generic retail FAQ automation need deeper customisation or vertical-specific workflows that Heyday does not provide

The platform is tightly coupled to Hootsuite; brands seeking a standalone conversational AI or a platform with richer API access look to alternatives

Where it works

Mid-to-large retail brands with high-volume FAQ and order-tracking queries that want to offload repetitive support to AI while routing complex issues to human agentsRetail businesses already invested in Hootsuite for social media management seeking to add conversational AI without adopting a separate vendor stackGlobal retail brands operating across multiple languages and messaging channels that need a unified inbox for social and chat interactionsE-commerce retailers with straightforward product catalogs who need always-on chatbot support for FAQs, product recommendations, and order statusRetail brands prioritizing measurable FAQ automation rates (up to 80%) and seeking quantifiable deflection metrics for customer service reporting

Where it struggles

Organizations requiring a standalone conversational AI with full API access for custom integrations or data portability face significant limitations due to no documented public export APISMBs and startups seeking transparent pricing without sales friction are blocked by Heyday's requirement for direct sales consultation to obtain any cost informationComplex customer issues requiring nuanced conversation handling experience inconsistent routing quality and notable drops in AI response quality when escalation failsRetailers with vertical-specific workflows or highly customized customer journey requirements will find Heyday's generic retail FAQ automation insufficient for their needsBusinesses planning future platform migrations or wanting to avoid vendor lock-in will struggle given that automation rules and bot training data cannot be exported and must be rebuilt from scratch elsewhere

Pricing tiers

Heyday AI pricing overview

Heyday AI does not publish pricing on its website. Plans are sold through Hootsuite's sales team as part of a bundled or standalone subscription. Pricing appears to be per-brand or per-seat depending on the enterprise agreement, and the lack of public tiers means budget estimates require direct vendor engagement.

What gets migrated

Heyday AI object support

Object-by-object support for Heyday AI migrations. Per-pair details surface during scoping.

Conversations

Not in this platform

Conversation threads and message history are not accessible via a documented public API. Export requires Hootsuite's backend involvement or manual logging, making bulk migration of historical chats unavailable through standard means.

Customers

Mapping required

Customer profiles may be synced from connected e-commerce platforms. During migration we map these to the destination's contact schema, noting that custom customer properties built inside Heyday may not carry over without field-level mapping work.

Products

Mapping required

Product catalogue data is pulled from connected e-commerce integrations. We map product records to the destination's equivalent object, but Heyday-specific product attributes or recommendation logic do not transfer as structured data.

Orders

Mapping required

Order tracking queries rely on e-commerce platform integrations rather than Heyday holding order data natively. We preserve order references and link them to the destination system, but Heyday's order context does not migrate as a standalone object.

Automation Rules

Not in this platform

FAQ automation flows, keyword triggers, and routing logic are configured inside Heyday's UI and are not exposed via a public API. These workflows must be recreated manually in the destination platform.

Integrations

Mapping required

Heyday connects to 20+ apps including e-commerce platforms and social channels. During migration we identify which integrations are active and document their equivalents in the destination platform, as connection credentials and sync settings do not export automatically.

Agent Profiles

Mapping required

Human agent accounts and assignment rules can be listed via Hootsuite admin APIs where accessible. We map agent identities to the destination's user or agent object, flagging any Heyday-specific roles that require manual recreation.

Tags and Labels

Mapping required

Conversation tagging schemas vary by implementation. We extract tagging conventions used in Heyday and map them to the destination platform's equivalent taxonomy, noting that tag names and hierarchies often require manual normalisation.
