Zendesk to Freshdesk Migration in Newport

Moving Newport support teams from Zendesk to Freshdesk, where there is no quiet moment to switch. Open tickets are live conversations with customers who will reply mid-migration, so the cutover has to decide what happens to those threads rather than treating the estate as a static set of records.

Why this comes up

The problem

Three hundred tickets are open on cutover day, and nobody has decided which system handles the replies.

What you get

What we deliver

  • Open tickets handled explicitly, with a decision on where replies land
  • Closed ticket history migrated so agents can see what happened before
  • Email routing switched deliberately, since this determines where new tickets arrive
  • Macros, triggers and automations rebuilt rather than assumed to transfer
  • Knowledge base content migrated with its URLs redirected
  • Agents trained before cutover, because support cannot pause to learn

Zendesk to Freshdesk Migration in Newport — common questions

What happens to open tickets?
They need a deliberate decision. The usual approach is to close the old system to new tickets, work the open ones there until they finish and route everything new to Freshdesk — running both briefly is unpleasant, and migrating live threads mid-conversation is worse.
Should closed tickets be migrated?
Generally yes, because agents rely on them. Knowing that a customer raised the same issue twice last year changes how the next conversation goes, and a support team without that context gives noticeably worse answers for the first few months.
Do automations transfer?
No — they are rebuilt. Zendesk triggers and Freshdesk automations are structured differently, and the migration is a useful moment to check which rules are still wanted, since most support estates accumulate automations that quietly stopped being relevant.
What about the help centre?
Articles migrate, and their addresses change. Knowledge base pages often carry meaningful search traffic and are linked from product emails, so redirect mapping matters here as much as it does for a website — and it is regularly forgotten in support migrations.
Do you work with businesses across Newport?
Yes. We are based in Leicester, United Kingdom and work with clients throughout Wales, including Newport and the surrounding Newport area. Most collaboration happens remotely, and we travel for kick-offs and key milestones.
What kind of Newport businesses do you usually work with?
Precision manufacturing quality systems, and cross-border operations for businesses trading into England. Beyond that we work across Semiconductors, Manufacturing, Logistics, Public Sector and Financial Services.
Do you cover the areas around Newport?
Yes — we work throughout Wales, including Cardiff, Bristol, Swansea. Newport is an urban area of roughly 160,000+, and we take on work across the wider Newport region rather than the city boundary alone.
