Facebook Workplace to Google Chat Migration Use Case

The common use case of moving from Facebook Workplace to Google Chat is the closure of the platform. Since the announcement from Meta, businesses have been in the market for robust alternatives such as Google Chat that are a part of a full-suite cloud office, such as Google Workspace. Businesses using Meta Workplace along with Google Workplace have been leveraging this change as an opportunity to consolidate into the former cloud suite.

Challenges of Moving from Meta Workplace to Google Chat

Businesses that have a lot of users and complex sharing structures can face several challenges in transferring chats and groups from Facebook Workplace to Google Chat. Here are some of the core challenges:

  • Mapping a high volume of user accounts from Workplace to Google Chat
  • Migrating a high volume of chats accurately for each user
  • Preserving the sequence of each user’s chat history
  • Replicating Meta Workplace Groups in Google Chat
  • Preserving memberships in Google Chat
