Migrate your Supportbench data
AI-native B2B helpdesk platform built for mid-sized and enterprise support teams that prioritize customer health scoring, tier-based SLA management, and Salesforce integration over pure ticket volume.
In its favor
Why people choose Supportbench
The signal that keeps Supportbench on the shortlist. Sourced from G2, Capterra, and customer scoping calls.
Native Salesforce synchronization that surfaces licensing and contract data directly in the support context, eliminating manual cross-referencing during case handling.
Customer health scoring built into the platform without requiring separate integrations or custom dashboards, giving teams early warning on at-risk accounts.
AI Copilot that suggests next-best responses based on ticket history and the knowledge base, reducing agent handle time on repeat issue types.
All-in-one pricing that bundles AI, knowledge base, reporting, and SLA management in a single per-agent tier rather than nickel-and-diming for each feature.
Multi-channel inbox unification for email, chat, Slack, Teams, and AI bot traffic into a single agent workspace, reducing context switching.
Steep onboarding curve with a complex feature set that requires significant training investment before agents can work independently, particularly around SLA configuration.
Limited filtering and search capabilities in the Views system make it difficult for agents to isolate relevant ticket queues without custom work.
Missing SLA breach visual indicators at the queue level, forcing supervisors to rely on external dashboards or manual checks to catch violations in time.
Mobile and offline access is limited compared to competitors, creating friction for field or remote agents who cannot stay in the application continuously.
Transitioning from another CRM to Supportbench is described by some users as overwhelming, with insufficient migration tooling or guided import workflows.

Pricing tiers
Supportbench pricing overview
Supportbench charges per agent seat on a monthly or annual basis with no feature-tier add-ons within each plan. Professional covers mid-sized teams at $32/user/month annual, while Enterprise targets larger organizations at $100/user/month annual, unlocking API access, SSO, sandbox, white-labeling, and managed services. Pricing scales linearly with headcount as teams grow.

What gets migrated
Supportbench object support
Object-by-object support for Supportbench migrations. Per-pair details surface during scoping.
Tickets
Fully supportedTickets are the primary case object in Supportbench and export cleanly via the Enterprise API with full message history, timestamps, assignee, and SLA metadata. We preserve email threading by matching Message-ID and References headers during migration.
Customers
Fully supportedCustomer records carry health score, tier, and contact data. We map the Customer object directly to the destination's contact or account object and carry forward any associated SLA policy assignments.
Agents
Mapping requiredAgent records include role, team assignment, permissions, and personal view configurations. Roles and team membership map to destination equivalents; Enterprise-tier unlimited custom roles may not have a 1:1 in simpler platforms and require explicit role-mapping.
Knowledge Base Articles
Mapping requiredSupportbench maintains separate internal and external Knowledge Bases. We export articles with category hierarchy and attachment references. Internal KB articles may have visibility restrictions that require re-application in the destination system.
Surveys (CSAT/NPS/CES)
Mapping requiredSurvey configuration and historical response data export separately. CSAT/NPS/CES scores are tied to closed tickets. We preserve the score and timestamp but note that survey widget configuration (branding, timing) is not currently exposed via API and must be re-created manually.
SLA Policies
Mapping requiredSupportbench enforces tiered SLA policies with escalation stages, response targets, and resolution windows. These export as structured records. Where the destination uses a different SLA model (flat vs. tiered), we map to the closest equivalent and flag any escalation logic that may not transfer automatically.
Views
Mapping requiredSupportbench uses customizable Views to segment ticket queues (similar to Saved Filters). Views reference field values, ownership, and status conditions. We export View definitions as structured filter criteria and re-apply them in the destination, noting that not all platforms expose filter-as-object.
Companies
Mapping requiredCompany records sync natively with Salesforce and hold licensing and contract data. We export the Company object and its Salesforce linkage reference. Cross-reference integrity with the CRM must be validated post-migration.
Custom Fields
Mapping requiredSupportbench supports custom fields on Tickets, Customers, and Companies. We perform field-level mapping against the destination schema, handling data type differences (date formats, dropdown values, user references) on a field-by-field basis before loading.
Attachments
Mapping requiredFile attachments on tickets are referenced by URL in Supportbench. We export the file content and re-associate it with the target ticket record in the destination. Large file batches may require chunking and retry handling during import.
Tags
Mapping requiredTickets can be tagged in Supportbench for categorization and reporting. Tag vocabularies are free-form. We export tag values as a flat list and re-apply them in the destination, deduplicating any naming inconsistencies across the source dataset.
Health Scores
Fully supportedCustomer health scores are stored as a numeric attribute on the Customer record and are computed from behavioral and support interaction signals. We migrate the current score value as a custom numeric field, noting that the underlying computation logic is platform-internal and does not transfer.
