Keep Help Scout running while your team moves over

After the import, a sync checks Help Scout every 5 minutes and brings over new tickets and changes (new replies and notes, status, priority, assignee), one way from Help Scout to AssistZen. A field changed in AssistZen since the import keeps its AssistZen value. Stop the sync when your team has switched over.

Sync is part of Professional and the plans above it.

Besides Help Scout: Freshdesk, Zendesk, Jira Service Management, ServiceNow, Zoho Desk, Freshservice, HubSpot Service Hub, Salesforce Service Cloud, ManageEngine ServiceDesk Plus, SysAid, HaloITSM, SolarWinds Service Desk, Alloy Navigator and Spiceworks Cloud Help Desk, and any other system through a CSV or Excel file. Each one has its own import page in Settings › Import.

What does the Help Scout import bring over?

Conversations with replies, notes, attachments and customers from Help Scout mailboxes.

Will my customers receive e-mails during the import?

No. An import never sends e-mails.

Can I keep using Help Scout while I move?

Yes. On Professional and above, a sync checks Help Scout every 5 minutes and brings over new tickets and changes, one way from Help Scout to AssistZen. You stop it when your team has switched over.

How long does an import take?

It depends on how many tickets and attachments you have. The import runs in the background and can be paused and resumed, so your team can keep working.

Yes. An import skips what was imported before, so running it again does not create the same tickets twice.

Do my customers need paid licences?
