Lindy Upgrade & Migration

Lindy Upgrade & Migration

Overview

Lindy is a managed platform — agents run on Lindy's infrastructure. "Upgrades" mean reconfiguring agents for new capabilities, migrating agents between workspaces, or adapting to platform changes. Key concern: agents with webhooks, Lindymail, and phone numbers require reconfiguration after migration.

Prerequisites

• Admin access to source and target Lindy workspaces
• Inventory of all agents, triggers, and integrations
• Migration window scheduled for customer-facing agents

Instructions

Step 1: Inventory Current Agents

Document every agent before making changes:

Step 2: Export Agent Configurations

For each agent, document:

• Prompt: Copy full text from Settings > Prompt
• Model: Which AI model is selected
• Skills/​Actions: List all action steps and their configurations
• Trigger filters: Copy filter conditions
• Knowledge Base: Note all sources (files, URLs, integrations)
• Memories: Export any persistent memories
• Exit conditions: Copy all condition text

Step 3: Plan Migration Order

Phase 1: Internal-only agents (no customer impact)
  → Migrate, test, verify for 24-48 hours

Phase 2: Low-risk customer-facing agents (email triage, notifications)
  → Migrate during low-traffic window
  → Monitor for 24 hours

Phase 3: Critical agents (phone, live chat, lead routing)
  → Migrate with rollback plan ready
  → Keep old agent active in parallel for 48 hours

Step 4: Migrate Agent to New Workspace

Option A — Template sharing:

1. In source workspace: Share agent as Template
2. In target workspace: Import template
3. Reconfigure integrations (OAuth tokens are NOT transferred)
4. Re-authorize all connected services

Option B — Manual recreation:

1. Create new agent in target workspace
2. Paste saved prompt
3. Recreate trigger with same configuration
4. Re-add all actions and configure fields
5. Upload knowledge base files
6. Re-create memories

Step 5: Reconfigure Webhooks, Email, and Phone

These require special attention — they are NOT automatically transferred:

Webhooks:

• New agent gets a NEW webhook URL
• Update all calling systems with the new URL
• Generate new webhook secret
• Update all clients with new Bearer token

Lindymail (Lindy-assigned email addresses):

• New agent gets a new Lindymail address
• Update forwarding rules and any published email addresses

Phone numbers:

• Phone numbers may need to be re-provisioned ($10/​month each)
• Update IVR systems and published phone numbers
• Test call quality and language settings

Step 6: Parallel Run & Cutover

Day 1-2: Both old and new agents active
  → Route test traffic to new agent
  → Compare task completion rates and output quality

Day 3: Gradual cutover
  → Redirect 50% of traffic to new agent
  → Monitor error rates and credit consumption

Day 4: Full cutover
  → Route 100% to new agent
  → Keep old agent paused (not deleted) for 7 days

Day 11: Cleanup
  → Delete old agent after 7-day safety window

Step 7: Verify Post-Migration

• All triggers firing correctly
• All actions completing successfully
• Knowledge base returning relevant results
• Webhook URLs updated in all calling systems
• Phone numbers tested (inbound and outbound)
• Credit consumption within expected range
• Team members have correct access in new workspace

Common Migration Scenarios

Scenario: Consolidating Multiple Agents

When you have too many single-purpose agents:

1. Identify agents with overlapping triggers
2. Merge prompts into sections (use ## Billing, ## Technical, etc.)
3. Add conditions to route based on content
4. Reduce total active agents → lower costs

Scenario: Upgrading Agent Capabilities

When Lindy adds new features (new actions, new models):

1. Review Lindy Changelog
2. Update model selection if better options available
3. Replace workaround actions with new native actions
4. Test thoroughly — model changes affect output quality

Scenario: Environment Promotion (Dev to Prod)

1. Share dev agent as Template
2. Import in production workspace
3. Re-authorize all production integrations
4. Update webhook URLs to production endpoints
5. Verify trigger filters match production requirements
