Migrate your Movidesk data
Brazilian-born helpdesk platform with ticketing, knowledge base, and workflow automation bundled in a single flat-rate plan, now integrated under Zenvia's customer experience suite.
In its favor
Why people choose Movidesk
The signal that keeps Movidesk on the shortlist. Sourced from G2, Capterra, and customer scoping calls.
Affordable flat-rate pricing at approximately $40 USD per agent makes it accessible for SMBs compared to Zendesk's tiered $55–$115 per agent costs.
Strong ease-of-use scores on Capterra (4.7/5) indicate teams can adopt core features without significant onboarding investment.
All master files and records are exportable, giving customers confidence their data is portable when needed.
Integrated chat widgets, knowledge base, and service management in one platform reduces the need for multiple vendor subscriptions.
Customers like Avell, MAPFRE, and Petlove cite improved support agility and process organization as concrete operational outcomes.
Single flat-rate tier means no upgrade path within the platform—growing teams must migrate to an entirely different vendor when they outgrow capabilities.
Customers report glitches, errors, and stability issues that accumulate as usage scales over time.
No built-in generative AI features, making it less competitive as AI becomes expected in mainstream helpdesk tooling.
Integration ecosystem is narrower than global competitors, limiting flexibility for teams with diverse tool stacks.
Support quality is inconsistent—some users note poor customer service despite the platform's feature set.

What gets migrated
Movidesk object support
Object-by-object support for Movidesk migrations. Per-pair details surface during scoping.
Tickets
Fully supportedTickets are the primary object with a rich schema: status, priority, owner, ownerTeam, changedBy, changedDate, permanencyTimeFullTime, permanencyTimeWorkingTime, and a read-only statusHistories audit log. We migrate tickets 1:1, preserving full status history and timestamps. Custom field values use the POST-only /ticketCustomFieldValue/{operation} endpoint which we call sequentially to respect the 10 req/min limit.
People
Fully supportedMovidesk distinguishes agents and customers under a unified People object. We export and import People records via the documented spreadsheet templates. Email addresses and contact details are preserved. Bulk import requires adherence to the People import layout format.
Organizations
Fully supportedOrganizations (companies) are separate from People in Movidesk's data model. We map organizations to the destination CRM's equivalent Account/Company object and resolve cross-references to People records.
Services
Mapping requiredServices represent service-level abstractions in Movidesk. We migrate service definitions but note that the concept may not map 1:1 in all destination platforms—some CRMs lack an equivalent service-level object and we fold service associations into ticket properties.
Billing agreements
Mapping requiredBilling agreements track contractual service terms. These are Movidesk-specific and require field-level mapping to the destination's contract or agreement objects where they exist.
Assets
Fully supportedAssets are a distinct object in Movidesk for tracking equipment or products linked to tickets. We migrate asset records including relationships to organizations and tickets via the Assets import template.
Knowledge base Articles
Fully supportedArticles are published within categories and localized via Movidesk's multilingual knowledge base. We export articles with their category assignments and body content. Note that multilingual KB requires separate Help center appearance configurations per language.
Knowledge base Categories
Fully supportedKB categories structure the knowledge base hierarchy. We preserve category assignments during migration. Multilingual KB mandates that categories have translations in each enabled language before articles publish correctly.
Workflow rules
Mapping requiredWorkflows define sequential task execution and automation rules. Workflow must be explicitly enabled in the agent's access profile before the UI option appears. We export workflow definitions and note that rule complexity may require manual reassembly in the destination if the target platform uses a different automation model.
Custom fields
Mapping requiredCustom fields (ticketCustomFieldValue) are managed via a POST-only API with three operations: InsertValues, UpdateValues, DeleteValues. There is no GET or DELETE at the object level. We generate per-operation API calls for each field and respect the 10 req/min rate limit by chunking requests and applying back-off between operations.
Tags
Mapping requiredMovidesk supports tagging on tickets and articles. Tags migrate as flat label associations; we map them to the destination platform's equivalent tagging or labeling mechanism.
Chat widgets
Mapping requiredChat widgets are Movidesk-configured embeddable widgets for customer-facing chat. Widget configurations (embed code, settings) are migrated as configuration data rather than records, and embedding logic must be rebuilt in the destination platform.
SLA configurations
Mapping requiredSLA definitions govern response and resolution time commitments. We export SLA rules and map them to the destination's SLA configuration schema, noting that naming conventions and escalation triggers vary between platforms.
