Helpdesk data migration

Any helpdesk to any helpdesk, done right.

Tickets, conversations, contacts, companies, attachments and help centre content, moved between Zendesk, Freshdesk, Intercom, HubSpot, Salesforce and more. Run it self-serve on the DataGrine platform or let our migration experts handle it end to end, with 24/7 premium support.

  • Sample run before the full move
  • No downtime for your team
  • Delta sync at cut-over
  • Rollback per run

Where are you moving?

Roughly how many records?


We preserve conversation history, threading and relationships wherever Intercom supports them. Run it self-serve or have our migration team run it, with 24/7 support.

What moves

Your history, with its relationships intact.

Tickets and conversations

Status, priority, type, assignee, tags and custom fields, with every reply and internal note in order.

Contacts and companies

Matched on email or external ID so nobody is duplicated, with company membership kept.

Attachments and inline images

Carried with the message they belong to.

Knowledge base

Categories, sections and articles with their status.

Questions

What teams ask before they move.

Can we run the migration ourselves?

Yes. The DataGrine platform is designed to be self-served by your team: connect, map, run a sample, then the full move and the delta. Or our migration team handles it end to end. Either way you get 24/7 premium support.

Can we test before committing?

Yes. A sample of your own records lands in the new helpdesk first, so you can check threading, fields and attachments before the full run.

Can a migration be rolled back?

Yes. Any run can be rolled back. A rollback reverses only what that run wrote.

Does our team have to stop working?

No. We only read from your old helpdesk, so your team keeps working, and a delta sync at cut-over moves anything created or changed since the full run.

Let’s move your data forward.

Tell us where you are moving from and to. Run it yourself on the DataGrine platform or let our migration team handle it end to end, with 24/7 support either way.

  • A written mapping document before anything moves
  • A sample migration you review before the live run
  • Delta sync at cut-over and rollback per run
  • 24/7 premium support until you sign off
