Migrate your ClickDesk data
Live chat and helpdesk platform bundling voice, video, and social channels into one widget. Best for small teams that want a single tool covering visitor chat, ticketing, and VoIP without managing separate vendors.
In its favor
Why people choose ClickDesk
The signal that keeps ClickDesk on the shortlist. Sourced from G2, Capterra, and customer scoping calls.
Simple per-agent pricing model appeals to small businesses that want predictable costs without per-seat billing surprises.
Bundles live chat, voice, video, and helpdesk into a single widget, reducing the number of vendor relationships for small teams.
Free plan available for single-agent use, allowing teams to validate the product before committing to a paid tier.
Social media integration allows agents to respond to Facebook and Twitter messages from the same inbox.
Includes built-in VoIP calling without requiring a separate phone system or third-party PBX integration.
The platform appears to have stagnated with little visible development since its 2011 launch, raising concerns about long-term viability and security patching.
Small company size (11–16 employees) means limited support capacity and no guaranteed SLA beyond the 99.9% uptime claim.
Users report the interface feels dated compared to newer helpdesk products that have modernised their agent experience.
Lack of public API documentation or developer community makes custom integrations and automation difficult to maintain.
Integration ecosystem is narrow — fewer native connectors to CRMs, e-commerce platforms, and analytics tools than competitors.

What gets migrated
ClickDesk object support
Object-by-object support for ClickDesk migrations. Per-pair details surface during scoping.
Tickets
Fully supportedClickDesk's helpdesk core is a standard ticket queue with subject, description, status, priority, and agent assignment. We map these directly to the destination ticket object, preserving status transitions and timestamps.
Chats
Fully supportedLive chat sessions are stored as conversation threads with visitor info, agent name, and message timestamps. We import these as conversation records or ticket comments depending on the destination schema.
Agents
Mapping requiredAgent profiles include name, email, department, and online/offline status. We map these to destination users, but role and permission levels require manual configuration post-migration.
Departments
Mapping requiredClickDesk supports routing chats to departments (e.g., Sales, Support). We create corresponding teams or groups in the destination and map agent assignments accordingly.
Canned Responses
Mapping requiredPre-written chat templates are stored as short text snippets with category labels. We export them as a list and re-import as macros, canned responses, or saved replies depending on destination capability.
Offline Messages
Fully supportedMessages submitted when no agents are online are queued separately. We treat these as Tickets with 'Offline' as the source channel and preserve creation timestamps.
Social Channels
Mapping requiredFacebook and Twitter messages are pulled into the same inbox. We map these to the destination's social channel or conversation object and flag the channel source as a custom property.
Reports
Not in this platformClickDesk provides basic reporting (chat volume, response times, agent stats) but exports are limited to the UI — there is no documented export endpoint. Historical metrics must be manually captured before migration.
Widgets
Not in this platformThe chat widget configuration (appearance, trigger rules, proactive messages) is a ClickDesk-specific setting with no export mechanism. Widgets must be re-created manually in the destination platform.
Tags
Mapping requiredVisitors and chats can be tagged for segmentation. We export tags as flat label arrays and map them to the destination's tagging or custom property system.
VoIP Calls
Mapping requiredVoice calls use ClickDesk's embedded browser telephony. Call records (duration, direction, agent) are available in chat history. We map these to the destination's call log object where supported.
