Data Migration

Migrate your helpdesk into Deskpro with ease

Helpdesk migration might seem like a nightmare - but with Deskpro, migrating from your current solution is painless and straightforward.

Whether you currently use an email provider like Outlook or another helpdesk software, we have you covered.

Secure imports, every time

Your data is important and needs to be kept secure. We know that changing the helpdesk software your business uses can require careful consideration.

With Deskpro, you have the option to migrate using one of our Do It Yourself options, or we can manage the migration for you, headache-free.

DIY

Import your data yourself

If you want to import your data yourself, there are several options you can choose from.

Helpdesk Data Importer

Easily arrange data import from other helpdesk providers with our Help Desk Migration option.

You can choose the data you want to move across and easily arrange a migration.

CSV Customer Importer

If you have an existing list of customers (in an external CRM application, customer database, legacy helpdesk or a spreadsheet) you can import that list into Deskpro using the Comma Separated Values (CSV) format.

Import via API

Using Deskpro's REST API, you can move data between an external source and your helpdesk. This is the most flexible method but requires software development knowledge.

Assisted Migration

Let Deskpro handle your import for you

If you don't have a development team or would prefer to hand off the project to helpdesk experts, then our Technical Support team here at Deskpro can help.

Effortless migration
Choose the data that you wish to migrate across. No need to get your development team involved. Pick what you want to keep, and let us do the rest.
