MigrationMigration-ready
Migrate selected conversations, contacts and company context from Intercom.
Use approved exports or scoped APIs, identity reconciliation and dry-run validation before moving active customer-support operations.
A controlled migration workflow is documented; verify source-specific tooling and mappings.

Operational fit
Understand what the connection needs before enabling it.
Enterprise integration pages should state availability, prerequisites, data exchanged, permissions, failure behavior and operating ownership.
Requirements
Prerequisites and ownership
- Intercom administrator or export access
- Approved conversation and contact scope
- Identity mapping policy
- Cutover and rollback plan
Supported workflows
What teams can operate
- Migrate selected conversation history
- Map contacts and companies
- Preserve source identifiers
- Validate attachments and timestamps
Enterprise implementation
Move through scope, configuration, validation and operation.
A connector is not production-ready because credentials were accepted. Validate behavior, ownership and failure handling.
Scope
Define the business workflow, provider account, data objects, permissions, owners and success criteria.
Configure
Create dedicated credentials, select minimum scopes and connect a non-production HelpoSoft workspace.
Validate
Test normal, duplicate, delayed, failed, revoked and unauthorized events with safe sample data.
Operate
Enable monitoring, rotation, incident ownership, change review and a documented rollback path.
Configuration sequence
Connect, verify and test before production.
Use a non-production workspace, scoped credentials and explicit acceptance tests for normal, duplicate, delayed and failed events.
Inventory conversations, contacts and companies
Record the expected result and verify it in a test environment before continuing.
Export a representative sample
Record the expected result and verify it in a test environment before continuing.
Map teammates, states, tags and custom attributes

Run a dry import
Record the expected result and verify it in a test environment before continuing.
Reconcile and approve channel cutover
Confirm monitoring, rollback and support ownership before launch.
Data exchanged
Make the data path reviewable.
- Intercom to migration process: approved export or scoped API data
- Migration process to HelpoSoft: normalized records
- Reconciliation report records imported and skipped items
Permissions
Use the minimum access required.
- Use read-only access where possible
- Encrypt export files
- Restrict migration operators
- Remove temporary data after approval
Acceptance testingA dry import reconciles source counts, mappings, timestamps, identities and attachment exceptions before cutover. Invalid signatures, expired credentials and unauthorized scopes are rejected without leaking sensitive details. Duplicate and delayed events do not create duplicate customer work or repeat privileged actions. Provider timeouts, throttling and temporary failures enter a visible retry or exception path. Credential revocation stops future access and produces an actionable administrator signal. Customer-facing content contains only approved data and preserves internal/private boundaries.
Prove safe behavior before launch.

Troubleshooting1 2 3 4
Resolve connection failures methodically.
Check conversation-part pagination
Review contact duplicates
Validate attachment availability
Reconcile counts and date ranges
Known boundaries
Do not hide provider or version limits.
- Bots, workflows and proprietary app data require separate redesign.
- Migration tooling availability must be verified in the installed version.
Cloud responsibility
A secure connector has named owners on every side.
Approve service, customer and provider responsibilities before sharing production data or credentials.

Integration FAQ
Intercom Migration questions.
Availability and provider eligibility should always be checked against the installed version and provider account.
No. Workflows and bots should be recreated deliberately using HelpoSoft knowledge, routing and automation controls.
