Data Migration from Help Scout

Last updated: December 16, 2025

This guide will help you migrate from Help Scout to Pylon. Talk to your AE about a data migration to make sure that we cover what you are looking for.

This migration will bring over the tickets in a closed state, meaning neither you or the customer can reply on these tickets from Pylon.

For the overall process, see 📄 Migrating your Data to Pylon

What we'll need from you

  • Help Scout SSO Access

  • Your users should already be invited to Pylon

  • An idea on what you want to bring over, we recommend only bringing over custom fields that you are going to use going forward.
