Data Migration from Freshdesk

Last updated: December 16, 2025

This guide will help you migrate from Freshdesk 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

    • Copy-paste this as required to authenticate third-party solutions.

    • Take a look at Freshdesk documentation for more details.

  • 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.
