Questions ex-Podium users have asked us
Do I need to contact Podium to release my number?
While having Podium release the number can expedite things, it is not necessary as we can overwrite their permissions.
Can I import my contacts from Podium?
Yes, we take care of importing your contacts for you, and if you are a Lightspeed R-Series or X-Series user, then there’s no need as we’ll pull from your point of sale.
Can I transfer my contact’s message history to Ikeono?
Absolutely! You can request a CSV of your conversation history from Podium that we can import into Ikeono so you do not lose any historical conversation history.
