Migrate your SympoQ data
Lightweight cloud helpdesk for agile teams, with per-agent pricing, shared queues, and RESTful API access to Tickets, Users, and Settings.
In its favor
Why people choose SympoQ
The signal that keeps SympoQ on the shortlist. Sourced from G2, Capterra, and customer scoping calls.
Per-agent pricing starting at $10/month keeps costs predictable for small support teams without enterprise commitments.
Shared queue architecture lets each department access and track issues scoped to their own function, skills, and subject area.
RESTful API with Tickets and Users endpoints enables teams to build custom integrations without needing a dedicated developer.
Knowledgebase articles are exportable to CSV directly, reducing manual effort when migrating documentation alongside tickets.
Multi-currency and multi-language support accommodates SMEs operating across distinct time zones, languages, and offices.
No on-premise option means organizations with strict data residency requirements or internal infrastructure mandates find SympoQ incompatible.
Lack of customer reviews on major platforms like G2 and Capterra makes it difficult to assess long-term reliability and support quality before committing.
API documentation does not cover bulk export or batch endpoints, making high-volume migrations slow and technically demanding.
The 15-day Team trial converts to a Free Plan silently if not renewed, and the Free Plan blocks customers from submitting new tickets until the next month—behaviour that catches teams off guard during evaluation.

What gets migrated
SympoQ object support
Object-by-object support for SympoQ migrations. Per-pair details surface during scoping.
Tickets
Fully supportedTickets are the central object. Each ticket threads email messages as conversation entries. We map ticket status, priority, assignee, queue, custom fields, and attachment references. Permissions gate access: an Agent-level API token can only read tickets assigned to queues where they have access.
Users (Agents)
Fully supportedAgents are created, updated, and retrieved via the Users API. We map agent profiles including name, email, role, and queue assignments. Role-based access control (Admin, Agent) is preserved at migration time.
Customers
Mapping requiredCustomers are separate from Agents. Bulk import of customers is a Premium-tier feature. We handle the mapping between source customer records and SympoQ customer objects, including custom fields and update fields defined per-customer.
Queues
Mapping requiredQueues are workspaces scoped to departments or teams. A migration user with Agent permissions can only access tickets in queues where they have been granted access. We map queue assignments from source records to SympoQ queue structures and flag permission gaps before migration.
Forms (Custom Submission Forms)
Mapping requiredCustomizable submission forms define how customers submit tickets. We map form field definitions and optional/mandatory status, though form layouts and conditional logic may require manual reconfiguration at the destination.
Knowledgebase Articles
Fully supportedArticles are organized into categories and support CSV export natively. We export the article body, title, category, and metadata, then map them into the destination KB structure including category hierarchy.
Workflow Rules
Mapping requiredWorkflow Rules automate processing and assignment logic. These are settings-level constructs exported via the Settings API. We map rule triggers, conditions, and actions, but destination platforms often require workflow logic to be rebuilt manually.
Email Templates
Mapping requiredEmail templates are stored as settings and retrieved via the Settings API. We map template names, subject lines, body content, and variable placeholders, though rich formatting and conditional logic may require post-migration adjustment.
Web Widget
Mapping requiredThe embedded web widget provides a customer-facing submission portal. Widget configuration—including domain mapping and blank-label options—is a Settings-level export. We map the widget configuration but deployment of the widget script at the destination is a separate configuration step.
Reports and Analytics
Not in this platformAnalytic reports, ticket summaries, and billable time records are generated on demand and are not accessible via the API for export. Historical report data cannot be migrated programmatically and must be treated as reference-only in the destination.
