Overview
Moving from Rezolve.ai to Zoho Desk is a platform switch from an AI-native, Teams-first service desk to a multi-channel help desk with native Zoho CRM integration. Rezolve.ai has no public ticket data export API — we extract ticket records via admin exports, Teams conversation logs, and UI-based extraction, then normalize them into Zoho Desk's Tickets, Comments, and Threads module structure. Knowledge articles transfer as raw HTML content; Rezolve.ai's AI-resolution metadata (confidence thresholds, linked skills, auto-resolution rules) does not have a Zoho Desk equivalent and requires manual reconstruction using Zoho Desk's macros, blueprint stage transitions, or Zia AI features post-migration. We do not migrate Rezolve.ai Workflows or AI Skills as code. We deliver a written inventory of every Rezolve.ai workflow trigger, condition, and action mapped to Zoho Desk's Macros and Blueprint equivalents, giving your admin a rebuild-ready specification without reconstructing automation logic by hand.
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.
Documents, uploads, and inline notes move with the record.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a Rezolve.ai object lands in Zoho Desk, including any object-level transformations, lookup resolution, or schema-design dependencies.
Typical mapping — final map is confirmed during the sample migration step.
Rezolve.ai
Ticket
Zoho Desk
Ticket
1:1Rezolve.ai Tickets map to Zoho Desk Tickets. We extract tickets via admin export and Teams conversation log parsing, normalizing Rezolve.ai ticket status (Open, In Progress, Resolved, Closed) to Zoho Desk status values. Priority, assignee (resolved via agent email match), and category fields map directly. Original ticket creation timestamps transfer as-is, noting that Zoho Desk's Zwitch tool resets created_at to migration date — we bypass Zwitch and use direct API insert to preserve original timestamps. AI-resolution flags (whether a ticket was auto-resolved by Rezolve.ai) do not have a Zoho Desk equivalent and are stored in a custom field ai_auto_resolved__c for reporting.
Rezolve.ai
Conversation Thread
Zoho Desk
Comments and Threads
1:1Rezolve.ai conversation threads attached to tickets migrate as Zoho Desk Comments (agent replies and internal notes) and Threads (customer-facing message sequence). We parse Teams conversation export format, extract message author (employee vs agent), timestamp, and message body, and map agent messages to Comments and employee messages to Threads. Attachments within threads migrate as Zoho Desk ticket attachments linked to the corresponding comment or thread entry. Teams-specific formatting (message reactions, threaded replies depth) does not transfer.
Rezolve.ai
User (Employee)
Zoho Desk
Contact
1:1Rezolve.ai user records (employees who submit tickets) map to Zoho Desk Contacts. We extract email, full name, department, and manager fields and insert into Zoho Desk's Contacts module. User status (active, inactive) maps to Zoho Desk's Contact active flag. If the destination also uses Zoho CRM, Contacts sync natively to CRM Contacts; if not, they remain as Zoho Desk-only Contacts.
Rezolve.ai
Agent
Zoho Desk
Agent
1:1Rezolve.ai Agent records map directly to Zoho Desk Agents. Agent profile fields (name, email, role) transfer, and role assignments (Agent, Team Lead, Admin) map to Zoho Desk's Agent role hierarchy. Agent workload data (open ticket count, SLA status) does not have a persistent Zoho Desk equivalent and is not migrated — it resets when agents begin working in Zoho Desk. Agent provision requires active Zoho Desk login credentials, so we reconcile agent email addresses against the destination Zoho Desk tenant during pre-migration validation.
Rezolve.ai
Team
Zoho Desk
Department
1:1Rezolve.ai Teams (routing groups and service desk squads) map to Zoho Desk Departments. Team membership (agents assigned to each team) migrates by updating each agent's Department association in Zoho Desk. Rezolve.ai routing rules (which team receives which ticket category) do not transfer as routing logic and are instead documented as a Configuration Requirements section in the workflow inventory, where they map to Zoho Desk Department-based ticket routing and SLAs.
Rezolve.ai
Knowledge Article
Zoho Desk
Knowledge Base Article
1:1Rezolve.ai Knowledge Articles migrate to Zoho Desk Knowledge Base articles. We export article content (title, body HTML, category, status), map Rezolve.ai categories to Zoho Desk categories and sections, and preserve publication status. Rezolve.ai's AI-resolution metadata — confidence thresholds, linked Knowledge Skills, auto-resolution rules — is Rezolve.ai-specific and has no Zoho Desk equivalent. We export the raw article data and document the AI resolution intent (which article was linked to which skill) as a configuration note that maps to Zoho Desk's Zia KB Suggestions feature or manual macro associations on the destination side.
Rezolve.ai
Skill
Zoho Desk
Macro
lossyRezolve.ai Knowledge Skills and Task Skills are AI-powered automation units that do not have direct Zoho Desk counterparts. We inventory every Rezolve.ai Skill during scoping, document its trigger condition (which ticket query or keyword activates the skill), the AI resolution action it performs, and the confidence threshold. This inventory is delivered as a Skills-to-Macros mapping document where each Rezolve.ai Skill maps to one or more Zoho Desk Macros (action sequences) and optionally to Zia AI routing rules. The customer's admin uses this document to reconstruct AI-resolution logic in Zoho Desk's macro builder or Zia configuration.
Rezolve.ai
Workflow
Zoho Desk
Blueprint + Macro
lossyRezolve.ai workflows define automation sequences for ticket routing, approvals, and escalations using proprietary AI logic that does not export in standard formats. We do not migrate workflows as automation code. We document every Rezolve.ai workflow trigger, condition branch, and resulting action as a Workflow Inventory spreadsheet. Each Rezolve.ai workflow maps to a combination of Zoho Desk Blueprint (for stage-gated approval sequences) and Macros (for automated actions on ticket events). The customer's admin uses the inventory to rebuild workflow logic in Zoho Desk's Blueprint editor or Macro builder.
Rezolve.ai
Custom Field
Zoho Desk
Custom Field
1:1Custom fields on Rezolve.ai Tickets (such as IT Asset Tag, Request Type, Cost Center, or HR Leave Category) migrate as Zoho Desk Ticket custom fields. We export field names, data types, and values, then pre-create matching custom fields in Zoho Desk before ticket migration begins. Picklist values, formula fields, and cross-object references that depend on Rezolve.ai-specific picklists or functions are flagged as configuration requirements and require manual setup in Zoho Desk's field configuration. Custom field dependencies on Rezolve.ai Skill IDs are documented in the Skills inventory rather than migrated.
Rezolve.ai
Attachment
Zoho Desk
Attachment
1:1File attachments on Rezolve.ai tickets, knowledge articles, and conversation threads migrate as Zoho Desk attachments linked to the corresponding record. We extract file binary data and names from Rezolve.ai exports, upload to Zoho Desk during the appropriate migration phase, and link to the target record ID. Knowledge base attachments are a known gap — Zoho Desk's Zwitch tool does not migrate KB attachments, and we handle this by attaching KB-related files directly to the knowledge article record via the Zoho Desk API rather than via Zwitch. File metadata (original upload date, upload author) does not transfer.
Rezolve.ai
Report Configuration
Zoho Desk
Report Configuration
1:1Rezolve.ai built-in reports for resolution rates, ticket volumes, and CSAT migrate selectively as report definition documentation. We extract report metric definitions, filter criteria, and date ranges and document them as a Report Migration Guide. Complex Rezolve.ai reports with AI-driven insights (auto-resolution trends, skill performance) cannot be rebuilt automatically in Zoho Desk and are documented with recommended Zoho Desk report equivalents (Ticket Volume by Status, Average Resolution Time, Agent Performance). The customer's admin creates Zoho Desk reports using the guide during post-migration configuration.
Rezolve.ai
Settings
Zoho Desk
Settings
1:1Tenant-level Rezolve.ai settings — branding (logo, color scheme), notification rules, SLA configurations, escalation policies, and Teams notification preferences — migrate as a Settings Migration Checklist. We document each setting's current value and recommended Zoho Desk equivalent location (Setup > Channels, Setup > SLAs, Setup > Workflows). SLA thresholds (First Response Time, Resolution Time) map to Zoho Desk SLA rules. Notification rules for Teams alerts do not have a Zoho Desk equivalent since Zoho Desk does not use Teams as its primary notification hub.

Pair-specific challenges
Migration approach
Multi-source data extraction from Rezolve.ai
We begin with a three-phase discovery sprint. First, we pull admin CSV exports from the Rezolve.ai portal for tickets, knowledge articles, agents, teams, and users. Second, we coordinate a Teams conversation export for ticket-linked message threads using Microsoft Graph API read permissions. Third, we document any UI-visible data that does not appear in exports (custom field picklist values, workflow trigger conditions, skill-to-article associations). The discovery output is a Source Data Inventory listing every record type, record count, export format, and any gaps that require manual extraction or Rezolve.ai implementation team assistance. We do not proceed to mapping design until we have confirmed visibility into the full data surface.
Zoho Desk tenant provisioning and schema pre-creation
We provision the Zoho Desk tenant or validate an existing one, select the appropriate edition (Standard at $12/agent/mo for basic help desk, Professional at $25/agent/mo for macros and advanced reporting, Enterprise at $40/agent/mo for blueprints and unlimited departments) based on the customer's routing complexity and automation needs. We pre-create all custom fields on Tickets and Contacts matching the Rezolve.ai schema, configure Departments (mapped from Rezolve.ai Teams), set up Agent roles, and configure the Knowledge Base category and section structure. Zoho CRM sync settings are configured here if the customer uses Zoho CRM.
Skills and Workflow inventory documentation
We inventory every Rezolve.ai Knowledge Skill and Task Skill, documenting its trigger condition, the AI resolution action it performs, linked knowledge articles, and the confidence threshold. We separately inventory every Rezolve.ai workflow, capturing the trigger event, condition branches, and resulting actions. Both inventories are structured as configuration-ready mapping documents: Skills map to Macros and Zia routing rules; Workflows map to Blueprint stages and Macro sequences. We deliver these documents before any data moves so that the customer's admin has time to review and prioritize rebuilds. We do not rebuild these in Zoho Desk as part of the migration scope.
Sandbox migration and reconciliation
We run a full migration into a Zoho Desk sandbox environment using production-equivalent data volumes. Agents, contacts, departments, knowledge articles, tickets, and attachments migrate in dependency order (agents first for agent lookups, then contacts, then departments, then knowledge base, then tickets with conversation threads). The customer's Zoho Desk administrator reconciles record counts against the Rezolve.ai source, spot-checks twenty to fifty tickets for field-level accuracy, and validates that conversation threads are complete. Timestamp preservation, custom field values, and attachment presence are the primary reconciliation dimensions. Any mapping corrections are made in the migration specification before production migration begins.
Production migration in dependency order
We run production migration in record-dependency order: Agents (validated against Zoho Desk tenant), Departments, Contacts, Knowledge Base articles (with direct API attachment of KB files to bypass Zwitch), Tickets (with original created_at preserved via API insert), Conversation threads (Comments and Threads linked to ticket IDs), Custom field data, and Attachments. Each phase emits a row-count reconciliation report. We use Zoho Desk's bulk import API with batch chunking and exponential backoff to handle volume without exceeding API credit limits per the customer's edition tier. The Skills and Workflow inventory documents are handed off before or during the production migration window so that the admin can begin rebuild planning.
Cutover, validation, and rebuild handoff
We freeze Rezolve.ai write access during the cutover window, run a final delta migration for any records modified during the migration window, then mark Zoho Desk as the system of record. We perform a post-migration validation pass comparing total ticket counts, open ticket counts, attachment counts, and knowledge article counts between the Rezolve.ai snapshot taken at migration start and the Zoho Desk production state. We deliver the Skills Inventory and Workflow Inventory documents to the customer's admin team with a rebuild priority ranking. We support a one-week post-migration hypercare window for reconciliation issues. We do not rebuild Rezolve.ai workflows in Zoho Desk as part of the migration scope; that is a separate admin task or a Zoho implementation engagement.
