Frequently Asked Questions
Free migration is available to Zendesk customers who choose BoldDesk as their new help desk vendor and its available for all plans.
Yes, the migration service itself is free. You only pay for your BoldDesk subscription.
It depends on your ticket volume, number of brands, and complexity of your workflows. Smaller teams can often complete migration in days, while larger setups may take a few weeks from planning to final cut-over. During your migration call, we’ll provide a clearer estimate based on your account.
Our goal is zero downtime. We plan exports, imports, and cut-over so your agents can continue working in Zendesk until the final switch, and customers experience no interruption.
We migrate tickets, ticket conversations, attachments (where technically possible), customers, companies/organizations, tags, and knowledge base articles. We also help you replicate key custom fields, groups, and workflow structures in BoldDesk so your processes stay familiar.
Yes — functionally. Zendesk triggers, automations, and SLAs don’t copy 1:1 as raw objects, but our team will help you recreate equivalent workflows in BoldDesk using our automation engine and SLA configuration, based on your current rules.
In most cases, yes. For security and control, you export data from Zendesk (tickets, users, organizations, etc.) and share the files with our migration team via a secure channel. We provide detailed instructions and verify exports before importing them into BoldDesk.
Yes. We can scope your migration to specific brands, groups, or ticket segments if you prefer to roll out BoldDesk in phases. Note that our standard free migration is designed as a one-time activity; very long, staged migrations may require a custom plan.
BoldDesk follows strict security standards. Data is handled over encrypted channels, and access is limited to the migration team involved in your project. You retain control over exports from Zendesk and can choose how files are shared with us.
Our team provides:
- Admin setup guidance.
- Agent training sessions or walkthroughs.
- Help tuning your views, automations, and reports.
