Questions your own routing records answer
Ten questions answered from your enquiries, capacity rules and recorded decisions.
Switching
How to switch from Chili Piper
A move usually involves exporting your routing assignments, mapping your rules and destinations, then checking the new record alongside Chili Piper before you switch.
- 1
Export your assignment data
Use the native assignment export Chili Piper provides. Export the routing values and destinations you want to keep. If your account offers a choice of formats, use what it allows, usually CSV or Excel, and check with Chili Piper if the export path or format is unclear. This export does not bring across your full operating history or connected workflows.
- 2
Trial the import
Have the export loaded as a trial first. The trial checks the input without writing records, so use it to catch problems before bringing anything in. Once the file passes, import it as an inactive routing version. It will not become the routing version you use until you review and activate it.
- 3
Review the import results
Check the row counts and the reasons given for malformed or unsupported input. The import stops when it finds either. Confirm that the source values are mapped to the right matching conditions and destinations. Correct any gaps in the export or mapping, then trial and load it again before you treat the version as ready.
- 4
Run both systems side by side
Keep Chili Piper in use while you compare route decisions and handoffs with the new process. Test the routing you rely on, and separately test any calendar, intake, customer system or notification connections you need. The free base works on local records and does not provide those connections by itself. Do not switch live work until your checks pass.
- 5
Switch off Chili Piper
Once you have checked the routing version and the connections your business needs, make the new process the one your team uses. Then stop using Chili Piper and cancel it according to your account terms. Keep an agreed backup of your records and make sure the new process has the operating controls it needs.
Where the real effort goes
The real work is usually mapping your own fields, territories, matching conditions and destinations, then deciding how much enquiry history and which meeting records to bring. History, calendar settings and wider workflows need separate migration work. When Enterprise DNA installs and runs your version, it maps and checks the agreed scope with you and builds the rules and connections you need.

Questions
Instead of Chili Piper, answered
Does the free version replace everything Chili Piper does? expand_more
It runs the local enquiry routing and handoff record shown here. Calendar booking, automatic intake and live customer-system updates are separate connections. Enterprise DNA builds and tests the connections you need as part of your version.
Can we bring our existing routing data across? expand_more
Yes. Chili Piper provides an assignment export. The free version reads its routing values and destinations with an explicit mapping of your matching conditions. Your enquiry history, calendar settings and wider workflow need separate migration work. Enterprise DNA maps and checks that scope with you.
What happens if nobody has room for the next enquiry? expand_more
The enquiry is held for review with the matching territory recorded in the preview. It is not silently passed to another territory. You can see availability, active workload and capacity before recording an assignment.
How does this compare with LeanData or staying on Chili Piper? expand_more
Chili Piper and LeanData both provide routing services. Start with the live connections you use and the yearly bill you pay. This free base gives you an owned local record. Enterprise DNA agrees the migration and connected service your business needs before a switch.
What does Enterprise DNA charge and who looks after it? expand_more
One setup fee, then a monthly retainer, agreed around your scope. We bring across the agreed records, build your operating rules and connections, and run your version through Omni by Enterprise DNA. Your database remains yours.
