Frequently asked questions

  • Will I lose ticket history?

    No. The Zendesk importer preserves tickets, comments, authors and timestamps. Anything custom that doesn't map cleanly can come in via CSV import.

  • How long does migration take?

    Most teams cut over in a few days. The import itself runs in the background; the slow part is usually re-creating macros and routing rules.

  • Can I run Tixallo alongside Zendesk during cutover?

    Yes. Set up Tixallo first, point a forwarding address or alias at it, and only flip your main support@ when you're confident.
