Autotask PSA data import with zero downtime or technical hassle

Need to import your IT service desk data to Autotask PSA? Our automated, no-code migration tool transfers your contacts, companies, agents, tickets, and all support data quickly and securely — without interrupting your daily service.

OR

Want to bring data from shared inboxes like Google or Outlook, databases, or any support system that doesn’t directly integrate with us? Help Desk Migration effortlessly transfers your records to Autotask using simple CSV files.

Yes, but note that Autotask handles ticket Description differently. The ticket Description field is left blank by default, while the description itself is added as the first comment.

No. In Autotask PSA, every contact must be linked to a company. If your source system has standalone contacts, we’ll help you assign them to a company during mapping.

In Autotask PSA, a contact cannot also be an agent. If a contact on your source system acted as both, Migration Wizard will create them as a separate contact in Autotask PSA.

Yes. For successful ticket creation, you must check the option “Allow impersonation of resources with this security level” for each security level used by agents who will own tickets.

Need to move your Autotask data elsewhere for backups, consolidation, or other purposes? Our tool exports everything into easy-to-use CSV files, making transfers smooth and hassle-free.

Yes. You can export tickets, contacts, companies, and more into easy-to-use CSV files for backups, audits, or moving data to another system.

No. Autotask PSA doesn’t support deletion via API. All exported data remains in your account.

Yes. You can map fields manually, filter data to include only the records you need, and apply additional settings to ensure smooth CSV-based migrations. This flexibility makes CSV migration especially useful when dealing with legacy systems, shared inboxes, or databases.

Got a company merger or just streamlining your Autotask setup? With Migration Wizard, combining multiple Autotask accounts into one becomes a straightforward, automated process.

Yes. Migration Wizard supports account merging. You can combine tickets, contacts, companies, and agents from multiple Autotask PSA accounts into a single unified instance. This is especially helpful during company mergers, acquisitions, or restructuring.

Keep in mind that contacts cannot exist without companies in Autotask PSA, so all contacts will be linked accordingly. Also, Autotask does not allow changing a contact’s company once created, so careful mapping during the merge is essential. Demo migrations are recommended to preview how data will align before running the full process.
