Intercom to Zendesk Migration in Derry

Moving Derry teams from Intercom to Zendesk, where the two products disagree about what a support interaction is. Intercom keeps an ongoing conversation with a person that may span years; Zendesk creates discrete tickets that open and close — so the migration has to decide where one becomes several.

Why this comes up

The problem

A single customer conversation spans eighteen months and covers nine unrelated issues.

What you get

What we deliver

  • Conversation splitting decided, since long threads must become separate tickets
  • History preserved in a form agents can actually search and read
  • Customer records mapped, including the attributes segmentation depended on
  • Chat and messaging channels reconfigured for how Zendesk handles them
  • Automations and bot flows rebuilt around a ticket model rather than a chat one
  • Reporting expectations reset, as the two products measure different things

Intercom to Zendesk Migration in Derry — common questions

Why is the conversation model the hard part?
Because there is no clean equivalence. An Intercom conversation is continuous and a Zendesk ticket is bounded, so a thread covering several issues over months has to be split — and the rule for splitting it determines whether the history remains useful.
Can we keep the history intact instead?
You can import conversations as single large tickets, which preserves everything and makes little of it findable. The trade is between fidelity and usability, and most teams prefer some splitting even though it is imperfect.
What happens to bots and messaging?
They are rebuilt for a different model. Intercom's flows assume a continuous messaging relationship, while Zendesk routes towards tickets and queues — so reproducing the old behaviour exactly usually fights the platform rather than using it.
Will our support metrics still compare?
Not directly, and it is worth saying so before anyone builds a dashboard. Response and resolution times mean different things when the underlying unit changes from a conversation to a ticket, so historical comparisons across the cutover will mislead unless they are explicitly caveated.
Do you work with businesses across County Londonderry?
Yes. We are based in Leicester, United Kingdom and work with clients throughout Northern Ireland, including Derry and the surrounding County Londonderry area. Most collaboration happens remotely, and we travel for kick-offs and key milestones.
What kind of Derry businesses do you usually work with?
Cross-border trading systems for businesses working into Donegal, and manufacturing tooling for the north west. Beyond that we work across Manufacturing, Healthcare, Higher Education, Digital and Tourism.
Do you cover the areas around Derry?
Yes — we work throughout Northern Ireland, including Belfast, Lisburn. Derry is an urban area of roughly 85,000+, and we take on work across the wider County Londonderry region rather than the city boundary alone.
