Moving over in an afternoon

  1. 1

    Start free

    Make a workspace and a brand. The free plan needs no card.

  2. 2

    Bring your Zendesk over

    In Settings, Move to Hivenza: paste your Zendesk keys (sealed, never shown again), see a dry run, then bring over contacts, tickets with every message and note, and your help-centre articles. Nothing is emailed to anyone.

  3. 3

    Connect your channels

    Forward your support email, then connect your social accounts, the website chat and WhatsApp, each through its official login.

  4. 4

    Set up the desk

    Teams, business hours, service targets and macros, then invite the team with a role each.

An honest fit

Hivenza fits if

  • Many of your customers reach you through social media, chat and WhatsApp
  • The same people answer customers and run the brand’s social media
  • You manage several brands or clients
  • You’d rather pay in your own currency

Another tool may fit better if

  • You need phone lines and IVR in the same desk (Hivenza calls are WhatsApp calls)
  • You need a large marketplace of ready-made integrations

We’d rather you pick the right tool than the wrong one.

Questions

Can Hivenza handle our email support?

Yes. Forward your support address and each email becomes a ticket, threaded with CC and attachments, answered from your own address once your domain is verified.

Is there a help centre?

Yes, on every plan, Free included, with a request form and a customer portal from Starter; at your own address from Pro.

Does it have SLAs?

Yes, service targets for first reply, next reply and resolution in business hours, with alerts and escalation, on Pro.

Can we bring our Zendesk tickets over?

Yes. In Settings, Move to Hivenza reads your Zendesk with an agent’s email and an API token: users and organisations, every ticket with its comments, private notes and attachments, groups, custom fields, help-centre articles in English and French, and macros. A dry run comes first, nothing is emailed to anyone, and new tickets can keep coming until switch day.

How much does it cost?

There is a free plan, then Starter, Pro and Agency, in local currency in many countries. See the pricing page; the prices Zendesk publishes are listed above, read on its own pages on the date shown.
