Zero-Downtime Migration Blueprint
How to Switch from Drift to ZestChat
Step-by-step guide to migrating your historical data, customer context, and embed scripts in under 5 minutes without downtime.
1
Export Your Data from Drift
Log into Drift Settings → Export Data. Generate a standard JSON or CSV export. Our automated parser accepts native exports without manual reformatting.
2
Automated Schema Mapping in ZestChat
Upload your export file into ZestChat's Migration Wizard. The schema mapper automatically detects records, attributes, and timestamps.
3
Zero-Downtime Script Swap
Replace your legacy Drift script tag with the ultra-lightweight ZestChat SDK (<15kb). Edge workers immediately route traffic without session loss.
