Get familiar with the ticketing system before migrating
Before starting any kind of migration, it’s important to understand how ticket data works in each help desk. In Freshdesk, the ticket contains several elements such as date, status, agent, source.
You need to identify if the help desk of your choice has these columns and if they have the same name tag. Not every help desk has the same ticket system and this might cause you a lot of trouble in the future.
