Migrate from TinTim
TinTim state that everything collected inside it is erased with the cancellation — there is no grace period. So this page is an order: export first, move second, cancel last.
Before you cancel
TinTim state that all data collected inside TinTim is erased with the cancellation — the sharpest clock on this site, because it has no hands. Everything on this list happens while the account is still paid for.
Export the CSV
The export is CSV, and it is the copy that survives the cancellation. Take it before touching the plan.
Screenshot the journey
Journey stages map to events, and a stage changes when a phrase appears in the conversation. Screenshot the stages and their phrases — the wizard hands the finished app to a coding agent, and the screenshots are what it rebuilds the event sets from.
Check the instalments
Their terms owe a fine of the remaining instalments when an instalment plan is cancelled, and the refund window in clause 6.3 is seven days. Know which plan you are on before picking the date.
The account does not transfer
Assignment, sale, rental or any other transfer of the account is forbidden under clause 4.9 of their terms. There is nothing to hand over — only data to take out.
Mind the Lite connection
Their own guide warns that the QR-code Lite connection is not an official Meta connection and is subject to restrictions and blocks. On this side the number runs through Chatfuel, an official Meta partner and WhatsApp Business Solution Provider.
Where each piece lands
Their concepts on the left, the module that takes the job on the right. TinTim watches a number; the app on this side is the thing the business works in.
| Name | In Chatfuel SDK |
|---|---|
| One tracked WhatsApp number | A client bot in the workspace, on one shared balance. From Agency M there is no bot limit. |
| The exported CSV | The contacts module imports it and maps its columns onto fields. A CRM with saved views and filters sits on top. |
| Journey stages and phrases | Event sets in the ads-optimization module: fourteen conversion names plus any you invent, on seven triggers, up to fifty ads a set and thirty sets a bot. |
| CAPI on your own pixel | The same Conversions API, with the value and currency of the sale carried on the event. |
| “Not a CRM”, in their words | A CRM, in ours: contacts, inbox, deals and bookings are modules of the same app. |
| Client read-only logins | The auth module — your customers sign in to your deployment, under your name and at your price. |
| The 65% partner discount | No partner terms to join. The code is yours under MIT, and what you charge is yours entirely. |
The move, in order
Six steps, and the cancellation is the last of them — with TinTim, that ordering is the whole page.
- 01
Export, and screenshot the journey
The CSV out of TinTim, and screenshots of the journey stages with the phrases that change them. Both survive the cancellation only if taken first.
- 02
Run the wizard
One command scaffolds the app and writes only the modules you pick. It asks for your name and your logo, and opens a Chatfuel trial with a promo code worth $100 of credits.
- 03
Connect the client bot
The WhatsApp number is approved through Chatfuel, an official Meta partner — no QR code scanned against WhatsApp Web, and none of the blocks their own guide warns about.
- 04
Import the contacts
The contacts module imports the CSV you exported and maps its columns onto fields.
- 05
Hand the screenshots to the agent
The wizard ends by handing the app to a coding agent that knows every module you picked. Give it the journey screenshots and it rebuilds each stage as an event set — fourteen conversion names plus your own, on seven triggers, up to fifty ads a set.
- 06
Deploy, then cancel
Add the auth module when clients should sign in to you, and deploy on your own domain. Then cancel — minding clause 6.4 if the plan is paid in instalments.
What stops billing
The numbers on the left are TinTim’s published ones, in the currency they publish. Ours are deliberately absent — they live on one page, and the pricing page is it.
| What stops | |
|---|---|
| The plan, per tracked number | R$ 197 a month on Inicial or R$ 297 on Escala, each tracking one WhatsApp number — a second number is a second plan. |
| What replaces it | |
| One workspace subscription | Every client bot draws on the same balance, so each client you add costs less than the last. The numbers live on the pricing page. |
| The app itself | Free under MIT. The wizard and the code it writes are not billed — the workspace behind them is the subscription. |
Questions
No. TinTim state that all data collected inside TinTim is erased with the cancellation. The CSV export is the copy that survives, which is why it is the first step on this page and not a footnote.
