Overview
Logicalware dissolved in April 2023 with no public API, no developer portal, and no active vendor support, making every migration from it an exercise in export archaeology rather than a live-API pull. We validate whatever CSV, XML, or database dump the customer still possesses, reconstruct ticket-to-contact relationships where export artifacts are partially intact, and flag any malformed or inaccessible records before mapping begins. Intercom's conversation model differs from Logicalware's channel-tagged thread model: we flatten multi-channel Logicalware threads into individual message records per conversation and preserve channel type as a conversation attribute in Intercom. Agent email addresses associated with the defunct @logicalware.com domain are flagged as stale and remapped to a designated replacement owner. We do not migrate Logicalware's message automation rules, keyword-triggered routing, or SLA configurations as they have no direct Intercom equivalent and must be rebuilt by the customer's admin team post-migration.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a Logicalware 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.
Logicalware
Ticket
Intercom
Conversation
1:1Logicalware Tickets map to Intercom Conversations. We extract ticket ID, subject, body, status, priority, and created/updated timestamps from the export file. Intercom's conversation model uses a title (derived from ticket subject) and a default Open state that maps from Logicalware's status. Priority maps to an Intercom conversation attribute or tag. Thread chronology is preserved by sequencing message parts in original timestamp order within each conversation.
Logicalware
Customer (Contact Record)
Intercom
Contact
1:1Logicalware customer records map to Intercom Contacts. Email address and phone number are preserved as primary identifiers. We apply value-mapping between Logicalware's field names and Intercom's standard contact attributes. Any custom fields present in the export are mapped to Intercom custom attributes; fields that are structurally absent from the export are flagged as unmapped rather than populated with nulls. Phone number validation should be disabled in Intercom before import per Intercom's migration documentation (Settings > Your Workspace > People Data > Phone) to prevent invalid numbers from blocking import.
Logicalware
Company
Intercom
Company
1:1Logicalware Company records map to Intercom Companies. Company name and domain are preserved. We link associated Contact records to the Company via Intercom's company-user relationship. Where a Logicalware Company has no linked Contacts in the export, we create the Company record as a standalone entry and flag it for manual review to determine if orphaned records should be merged or kept separate.
Logicalware
Conversation (Message Thread)
Intercom
Conversation Part
1:1Logicalware Conversations thread multiple message events per ticket. We flatten thread chronology into individual message records, preserving sender, timestamp, body text, and channel type. Channel type (email, live chat, SMS, WhatsApp, social media) is preserved as a conversation attribute in Intercom. Multi-channel tickets that span multiple channel types are split into separate Intercom conversations per channel to avoid thread fragmentation in Intercom's conversation model.
Logicalware
Agent
Intercom
Teammate (User)
1:1Logicalware Agent records (name, email, role) map to Intercom Teammates. We resolve agents by email match against the Intercom workspace. Agent accounts associated with the defunct @logicalware.com domain are flagged as stale and remapped to a designated replacement owner specified by the customer during scoping. Any Agent record without a valid email or replacement mapping goes to a reconciliation queue for the customer's admin to resolve before import resumes.
Logicalware
Channel (Email, Chat, SMS, WhatsApp, Social)
Intercom
Conversation Channel Attribute
lossyLogicalware channel metadata is preserved as a tagged attribute on each Intercom conversation. Channel type is mapped to Intercom's channel identifiers (email, chat, whatsapp, sms, twitter, facebook, etc.). For multi-channel tickets that generated separate thread segments in Logicalware, we create separate conversations in Intercom with consistent customer and ticket context preserved via custom attributes.
Logicalware
Attachment
Intercom
Conversation Attachment
1:1File attachments on Logicalware tickets are included in exports where artifacts are intact. We flag any attachment references that point to URLs no longer accessible after the 2023 dissolution. Missing or inaccessible attachments are documented in the migration report with the original filename and the ticket reference so the customer's admin can decide whether to re-attach from a backup source. Accessible attachments are uploaded to Intercom's conversation as file parts linked to the conversation.
Logicalware
Tag and Label
Intercom
Tag
1:1Logicalware tags applied to tickets for categorization are preserved as Intercom tags. Tag vocabulary is mapped directly without consolidation. We do not merge synonymous tags unless explicitly requested by the customer during scoping. Tags that exist in the Logicalware export but are not present in Intercom's tag schema after import are flagged for the customer's admin to consolidate post-migration.
Logicalware
SLA Configuration
Intercom
SLA Policy (Expert plan)
lossyLogicalware SLA commitments are void after the 2023 dissolution and cannot be migrated as enforceable configurations. We document the original SLA terms (first response time, next response time, resolution time) from the export file and deliver a written note for the customer's admin to configure equivalent SLA Policies in Intercom's Expert plan. SLA configuration is outside standard migration scope.
Logicalware
Message Automation Rule
Intercom
Workflow (Outbound or Inbox)
lossyLogicalware message automation rules (keyword-triggered routing and templated response pre-population) have no direct Intercom equivalent as executable automation code. We document each automation rule with its trigger conditions, keyword patterns, routing logic, and templated response content, and deliver the inventory to the customer's admin for rebuild in Intercom's Workflow builder. This is outside standard migration scope.

Migration approach
Export artifact audit and integrity validation
We review every export file the customer still possesses from the Logicalware live period, including CSV dumps, XML exports, database backups, or any partial artifacts. We validate record counts, field presence, attachment URL accessibility, and export format completeness. Any files that are corrupted, password-protected, or structurally incomplete are flagged with a gap assessment. If no export exists, we document what reconstruction pathways exist (email server logs, CRM linkage, telephony call records) and scope accordingly. The output is a written Export Assessment Report that defines exactly what data is available for migration before any mapping begins.
Customer and company schema mapping
We map Logicalware Customer and Company records to Intercom Contacts and Companies. The customer provides a replacement owner mapping for any @logicalware.com email addresses. We disable phone number validation in Intercom (Settings > Your Workspace > People Data > Phone) before importing any records with phone data. Contact deduplication uses email address as the primary key. Company records are created first so that the Company-Contact relationship is satisfied at the moment of Contact import. Any unmapped custom fields from the Logicalware export are created as custom attributes in Intercom before the import phase.
Agent (Teammate) reconciliation
We extract every distinct Logicalware Agent referenced on Ticket, Conversation, and Message records and match by email against the Intercom workspace. Agents with @logicalware.com addresses or addresses not found in the Intercom workspace are remapped to the customer's designated replacement owner. The customer's admin reviews and approves the agent reconciliation map before ticket import begins. Intercom teammate accounts are provisioned with the correct admin, agent, or viewer roles based on the original Logicalware role data.
Ticket and conversation import with thread reconstruction
We import Logicalware Tickets as Intercom Conversations, flattening thread chronology by timestamp within each conversation. Channel type is preserved as a conversation attribute. Multi-channel threads are split into separate Intercom conversations with a shared custom_id referencing the original Logicalware ticket ID. Attachment URLs are downloaded from accessible sources and re-uploaded to Intercom; inaccessible URLs are documented in the gap report. Tags are applied as Intercom tags on each conversation. We disable active Outbound campaigns in Intercom before beginning the write phase to avoid API throttling.
Staged cutover and delta migration
We perform a staged migration starting with a subset of records (typically the most recent 90 days of ticket history) for reconciliation. The customer's admin reviews the imported conversations, validates contact-company linking, confirms tag mapping, and approves before the full historical migration begins. Any records created or updated in Logicalware during the migration window are captured in a delta migration after the initial load. We disable Logicalware write access during the delta window to prevent new records from being created on a platform with no vendor support.
Cutover, validation, and automation rebuild handoff
We enable Intercom as the system of record after cutover confirmation. We deliver a migration validation report with record counts (Contacts, Companies, Conversations, Attachments), a gap log (missing or incomplete records with reasons), and the automation rebuild inventory (Logicalware message automation rules documented by trigger, keyword pattern, routing logic, and templated response content). We do not rebuild Logicalware message automation rules as Intercom Workflows inside the migration scope; the inventory is delivered to the customer's admin for rebuild. We provide a one-week hypercare window for reconciliation issues raised by the customer's support team.
