Migrate your Thena data
AI-first B2B helpdesk built around Slack and Microsoft Teams, with ticket automation, web chat, and agent studio at its core.
In its favor
Why people choose Thena
The signal that keeps Thena on the shortlist. Sourced from G2, Capterra, and customer scoping calls.
Slack-first architecture makes Thena the natural choice for teams already living in Slack—tickets route directly into channels without switching context.
AI ticket detection and summarization are included at every paid tier, reducing manual triage work from day one without requiring a top-tier plan.
Ticket volume limits are generous relative to competitors—Starter caps at 1,000 tickets per month for up to 5 users at $29 per seat.
Standard tier unlocks AI agent studio, MCP access, and APIs, enabling custom automations without jumping to an Enterprise contract.
AI-first positioning attracts B2B teams that want structured support workflows with built-in automation rather than bolt-on tooling.
Limited channel support frustrates teams using WhatsApp, alternative chat platforms, or broader communication stacks outside Slack and MS Teams.
Poor customer support access—difficulty reaching a human for account or technical issues—drives churn among teams that need responsive vendor backing.
Mandatory fields for closing requests create friction when automations try to resolve tickets without those fields populated, silently blocking resolution actions.

What gets migrated
Thena object support
Object-by-object support for Thena migrations. Per-pair details surface during scoping.
Requests
Fully supportedRequests are the primary ticket object with a documented export to XLSX or JSON covering Subject, Description, Source, Sentiment, Urgency, Status, assignee, reply count, and timestamps. We pull via the v2 REST API and preserve all standard fields 1:1.
Accounts
Fully supportedThena maintains an Accounts endpoint at GET /rest/v2/accounts. Standard field mapping applies. Account-to-contact relationships in the destination are mapped via the account_id reference carried through the migration.
Users
Fully supportedUsers are manageable via GET /rest/v2/users and GET /rest/v2/users/{id}. User email, name, and role are exported and mapped to owner or assignee fields in the destination platform. Active and inactive status is preserved.
Custom Fields
Fully supportedCustom fields are a first-class API resource at GET /rest/v2/custom-fields. We retrieve the full schema before migration and map custom field values for every record, ensuring dropdowns, booleans, and text fields land with correct types in the destination.
Conversations
Fully supportedConversations are nested under Requests via GET /rest/v2/requests/{id}/conversations. The Request export includes Number of replies; we reconstruct the full message thread, preserving timestamps, internal notes, and public replies.
Sub-statuses
Mapping requiredSub-statuses are custom-configured per workspace and live under main statuses (Open, In progress, On hold, Closed). We extract the full sub-status tree during scoping and map each to an equivalent status in the destination, flagging any that have no natural equivalent.
Workflows
Mapping requiredThena Workflows are built from Triggers, Conditions, and Actions (status change, assignee change, custom field change, Slack notification). We export the workflow configuration as a structured summary but do not replicate automation logic into the destination, which requires re-implementation.
Forms
Mapping requiredForms support create, batch update, get, and search via the v2 API. Form definitions and field schemas are migrated; form submission data is mapped into destination ticket or contact records based on field mapping rules established during scoping.
