Overview
Moving from Mojo Helpdesk to Freshdesk is a structural migration that consolidates a per-agent ticketing system into Freshworks' multi-channel customer service platform. Mojo Helpdesk organizes work around Queues and free-form tags; Freshdesk uses Groups, Ticket Types, and a controlled tag vocabulary. We replicate queue-based routing by mapping Mojo Queues to Freshdesk Groups with the same assignment rules, preserve full ticket conversation history including internal staff notes and customer replies, and import Knowledge Base articles with their category structure intact. Mojo automations (bots), canned responses, SLA configurations, and the Felix AI drafting layer do not migrate; we deliver a written inventory of these for the customer's admin to rebuild in Freshdesk. Reports and dashboards are not accessible via Mojo's API and must be extracted as a pre-migration snapshot if historical trend data is needed post-migration.
Every standard and custom field arrives verified.
AI proposes the map; you confirm before any record moves.
Parent–child, lookups, and ownership stay linked.
Calls, emails, meetings — with original timestamps.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a Mojo Helpdesk object lands in Freshdesk, including any object-level transformations, lookup resolution, or schema-design dependencies.
Typical mapping — final map is confirmed during the sample migration step.
Mojo Helpdesk
Ticket
Freshdesk
Ticket
1:1Mojo Tickets map directly to Freshdesk Ticket records via the Freshdesk REST API. We preserve the full conversation thread including agent replies, customer replies, internal staff notes, and CC'd participants as conversation entries ordered by the original Mojo timestamp. Attachment filenames and URLs migrate as Freshdesk ticket attachments. Mojo ticket status (New, Open, Pending, Resolved, Closed) maps to Freshdesk ticket status with direct value translation. Priority, owner assignment, and queue routing transfer to Freshdesk priority, responder_id, and group_id respectively.
Mojo Helpdesk
User (Agent)
Freshdesk
Agent
1:1Mojo Helpdesk agents migrate to Freshdesk agents by email match. We map Mojo agent roles (admin, agent) to Freshdesk agent role permissions. Note that Mojo's Team plan is hard-capped at 25 agents — if the source account exceeds 25 agent users, we flag this during scoping and sequence the migration to provision Freshdesk agents first, assign tickets to the provisioned roster, then create remaining agents as inactive pending a plan upgrade. Mojo's admin vs agent role distinction maps to Freshdesk's agent permission levels.
Mojo Helpdesk
Contact (Customer)
Freshdesk
Contact
1:1Mojo Contacts migrate to Freshdesk Contact records. We preserve name, email, phone, company affiliation (if present in Mojo), and all custom field values. A critical sequencing constraint applies: Freshdesk requires a minimum of 10 tickets to exist in the account before contacts can be imported. We handle this by importing all tickets first (contacts are auto-created by Freshdesk on ticket import if they do not exist), then validating the ticket count, then importing remaining contacts with explicit company linkage and custom field values that were not set during the ticket auto-creation phase.
Mojo Helpdesk
Company (Contact affiliation)
Freshdesk
Company
1:1Mojo Contacts with a company affiliation map to Freshdesk Company records. If a Mojo contact has no company, we create a Freshdesk company record for organizational consistency. We link each contact to its company via Freshdesk's company association field. The first company listed for a contact in the import CSV becomes the primary company per Freshdesk's import rules.
Mojo Helpdesk
Queue
Freshdesk
Group
1:1Mojo Helpdesk Queues — the routing units that receive tickets based on email routing rules or form submissions — map to Freshdesk Groups. We preserve queue assignment rules as Freshdesk group membership and agent assignments within each group. Queue-based routing rules from Mojo are documented for the admin to rebuild as Freshdesk routing automations post-migration since routing rules are not data objects that transfer directly.
Mojo Helpdesk
Tag
Freshdesk
Tag
lossyMojo Helpdesk tags are free-form text applied to tickets with no predefined vocabulary. Freshdesk uses a controlled tag system per ticket. We extract all distinct tag values from Mojo tickets, deduplicate the vocabulary, and map them to Freshdesk tags. If a Freshdesk tag with the same name exists, we use it; otherwise we create it during import. Tag-based reporting in Freshdesk depends on the plan tier — Growth includes tags, and Deluxe and above include tag-based filters in views.
Mojo Helpdesk
Custom Field (Ticket and User)
Freshdesk
Custom Field
lossyBoth Mojo Helpdesk and Freshdesk require custom fields to be created in the application before data can be imported into them. Mojo custom field system names follow an underscored format accessible via Account administration > Tickets > Forms & fields. We audit the Mojo field schema during scoping, identify all custom field system names and types, pre-create equivalent fields in Freshdesk Admin > Ticket Fields or Customer Fields, and then import values in the same operation. If a custom field is missing on either side, values are silently discarded — we prevent this by confirming field parity before import begins.
Mojo Helpdesk
Canned Response
Freshdesk
Preset Reply
1:1Mojo canned responses (pre-written reply templates associated with queues or categories) export as content with their queue or category triggers. We migrate template content and trigger conditions as Freshdesk preset replies. Note that Freshdesk preset replies are shared across groups by default unless scoped to a specific group — we apply the same group scope as the original Mojo assignment during import. Trigger-based canned response logic (auto-suggested on ticket creation) requires a separate automation rebuild in Freshdesk.
Mojo Helpdesk
Knowledge Base Article
Freshdesk
Solution Article
1:1Mojo Helpdesk Knowledge Base articles migrate to Freshdesk Solutions with article content, category structure, and publish status preserved. Categories from Mojo map to Freshdesk solution categories. Articles in draft status migrate as drafts in Freshdesk. Note that Freshdesk's multilingual article support is gated to Pro and Enterprise tiers — if the source Mojo knowledge base contains articles in languages other than English, we flag this during scoping and recommend a manual review post-import for any multilingual content since Freshdesk's standard import handles one language per article.
Mojo Helpdesk
Automation (Bot)
Freshdesk
Automation
lossyMojo Helpdesk bots trigger on ticket events (created, updated, deleted) and can assign, escalate, or send emails based on conditions. We do not migrate automations as code. We document the full bot logic — trigger events, conditional rules, and action sequences — as a written automation inventory with recommended Freshdesk equivalents (Freshdesk's Rule Engine, Ticket auto-assignment, and Workflow automations). The customer's admin rebuilds the automation logic in Freshdesk's Admin > Workflows section. Bots that relied on Mojo's Felix AI for drafting or sentiment flagging have no direct Freshdesk equivalent on Growth and below plans.
Mojo Helpdesk
SLA Configuration
Freshdesk
SLA Policy
lossyMojo Helpdesk SLA definitions — timeframes per priority level, business hours configuration, pause-on-customer-reply logic, and pre-breach alerts — migrate as Freshdesk SLA policies. We map Mojo priority levels to Freshdesk ticket priorities and configure SLA entry and breach conditions. Note that SLA policies are available on Freshdesk Pro and Enterprise tiers; Growth and Deluxe do not include SLA management. We flag this gap during scoping if the destination plan is below Pro.
Mojo Helpdesk
Asset
Freshdesk
N/A (Freshservice)
1:1Mojo Helpdesk's optional asset management module tracks laptops, software licenses, warranties, contracts, and ticket linkage for audit and compliance. Freshdesk does not include asset management in its core product — IT asset management requires Freshservice (a separate Freshworks product). We export asset records as a structured CSV including type, status, location, department, assigned user, warranty expiry, and linked ticket IDs for the customer's admin to migrate manually into Freshservice or re-enter in a standalone system. This object is marked as lookup scope: we preserve the data export but do not perform a direct API-to-API migration.

Migration approach
Discovery and scoping
We audit the source Mojo Helpdesk instance: agent count, contact volume, ticket volume (open and closed), queue structure, custom field definitions (via Account administration > Tickets > Forms & fields), SLA configurations, canned responses, knowledge base article count and language count, asset record count, active bot automations, and historical reporting needs. We pair this with a Freshdesk destination audit: plan tier confirmation, existing group structure, existing custom fields, and SLA policy availability on the selected plan. The discovery output is a written migration scope, a Freshdesk plan-gap analysis, and a custom field parity checklist that the customer must action before we begin import.
Freshdesk schema preparation
We pre-create the Freshdesk schema in the destination account: agents with matching roles and group assignments, groups mirroring the Mojo queue structure, ticket custom fields matching Mojo field types (string, boolean, date, number), customer custom fields, ticket forms if multiple form types are in use, and SLA policies mirroring the Mojo SLA configuration. Custom fields must exist in Freshdesk before any data import runs — we confirm field parity before proceeding. We also configure the Freshdesk knowledge base category structure to match Mojo's article categories so that articles land in the correct sections on import.
Ticket migration with contact sequencing
We import tickets via the Freshdesk REST API in batches of 200-500 records, preserving conversation threads, internal staff notes, customer replies, CC'd participants, attachments, and queue-to-group routing. Mojo contacts are auto-created by Freshdesk on ticket import for each unique requester email. After the initial ticket batch, we verify the total ticket count meets Freshdesk's 10-ticket minimum for contact import, then run a supplemental contact import to backfill company associations and custom field values that were set during auto-creation but not fully populated. We resolve Mojo agent-to-Freshdesk-agent mapping by email match and assign responder_id on each ticket import record.
Knowledge base and canned response migration
We export Mojo Helpdesk knowledge base articles including content, category assignment, and publish status. Articles are imported to Freshdesk Solutions via the Freshdesk API with category structure preserved. Draft articles migrate as drafts. If the source knowledge base contains non-English articles, we flag them during import and recommend a manual multilingual review post-migration since Freshdesk's standard import handles one language per article. Canned responses export from Mojo with queue or category triggers and import to Freshdesk preset replies, preserving content and group scope.
Asset export and automation handoff
We export Mojo asset records as a structured CSV including asset type, status, location, department, assigned user, warranty expiry date, and linked ticket IDs for audit trail. This CSV is delivered to the customer's admin for manual migration into Freshservice or another asset management tool. We deliver the automation inventory document — a written map of every Mojo bot with its trigger, conditions, and actions, plus a recommended Freshdesk workflow equivalent and SLA policy equivalent. SLA definitions are migrated as Freshdesk SLA policies where the destination plan supports them.
Cutover and validation
We freeze writes to Mojo Helpdesk during the cutover window, run a delta migration for any tickets or contacts modified during the migration window, then validate the Freshdesk instance: record counts for tickets, contacts, and companies; spot-checks on 25-50 random tickets for conversation thread completeness, attachment presence, and custom field values; and confirmation of queue-to-group routing parity. We deliver a final reconciliation report and the automation rebuild handoff document to the customer's admin. We do not provide post-migration admin support or training as standard scope — these are separate engagements.
