Migrate your Huly data
Open-source all-in-one PM platform combining tasks, docs, chat, and video. Self-hostable or cloud-hosted with GitHub integration for dev teams.
In its favor
Why people choose Huly
The signal that keeps Huly on the shortlist. Sourced from G2, Capterra, and customer scoping calls.
Replaces multiple tools (Slack, Notion, Linear) with a single all-in-one workspace, reducing context-switching and enabling cross-linking between tasks, docs, and conversations.
Open-source licensing with full self-hosting option gives teams data sovereignty and avoids vendor lock-in, especially valued by privacy-conscious organizations.
GitHub integration syncs issues and pull requests automatically, making it a natural fit for software development teams already using GitHub.
Unlimited users across all pricing tiers means teams can onboard everyone without per-seat billing constraints.
All-in-one process platform can handle task tracking, hiring pipelines, and documents under one workspace structure.
UI can feel clunky during document editing sessions, with reviewers noting friction when writing longer-form content in the platform.
Limited third-party integrations beyond GitHub compared to established PM tools, creating gaps when teams need CRM, finance, or HR system connections.
Self-hosting requires ongoing Docker/MongoDB maintenance, which can become a burden for teams without dedicated DevOps resources.
Steeper learning curve due to Huly's opinionated workspace hierarchy (workspaces above spaces) that differs from how teams structure Jira or Linear projects.

What gets migrated
Huly object support
Object-by-object support for Huly migrations. Per-pair details surface during scoping.
Workspaces
Fully supportedWorkspaces are the top-level container in Huly, holding multiple spaces. We migrate workspaces as-is and map them to the destination workspace or organization structure. Self-hosted workspaces include all underlying spaces, documents, and chat history.
Spaces (Projects)
Fully supportedHuly spaces are equivalent to projects in most PM tools. The 'Classic project' space type is the default. We preserve space configuration, including space type settings, and map spaces directly to the destination project object.
Issues
Fully supportedIssues are the default task type in Huly's Tracker. They carry properties like assignee, priority, labels, and custom fields. We migrate all issue fields including process states (Backlog, Todo, In Progress, Done, Canceled) and maintain issue number sequences within each space.
Pull Requests (GitHub-synced)
Mapping requiredWhen connected to GitHub, Huly creates a separate Pull Request task type with its own properties and states (Open, Merged, Closed). We migrate PR task data but note that the actual GitHub commit graph and review comments must come from GitHub directly.
Task Types (Custom)
Mapping requiredHuly allows custom task types beyond Issues and Pull Requests, each with its own set of process states. We migrate custom task type definitions and map their state sets to equivalent destination workflow stages, flagging any states that require custom field mapping.
Wiki Pages (Documents)
Fully supportedHuly's rich-text collaborative documents live inside spaces. We export wiki pages as structured objects including content blocks, embedded links, and collaboration metadata. Embedded images and attachments are treated as separate media files.
Chat Messages (Inbox)
Mapping requiredHuly's Inbox holds real-time chat messages and threaded discussions. We export message text, sender metadata, and timestamps. Message threading structure is preserved where the destination supports it; otherwise messages are imported as flat chronological records.
Milestones
Fully supportedMilestones in Huly group issues and documents toward a common goal or deadline. We migrate milestone metadata and their issue associations. Destination milestones are created with the same date and description fields.
Action Items
Mapping requiredAction Items are a dynamic workflow feature in Huly that capture tasks within conversations. We extract action item text, assignees, and completion status. Due to their contextual nature, we map them to tasks or checklist items in the destination.
Labels and Tags
Fully supportedHuly supports labeling issues and other objects. We migrate all labels with their color metadata and reapply them to the corresponding migrated objects at the destination.
Attachments
Mapping requiredFiles attached to issues, wiki pages, or chat messages are counted against Huly's storage quota. We migrate attachment files and reattach them to their parent objects. Storage consumption is flagged so customers can plan tier selection at the destination.
Users and Membership
Fully supportedHuly workspace members and their role assignments (owner, member) are migrated. Email addresses and display names are mapped to the destination user records. Active vs. archived status is preserved.
