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

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