How Automated GLPI ITSM Data Migration Works

Automated migration from GLPI ITSM is handled through the Help Desk Migration Wizard. The process is structured, predictable, and fully auditable — so you always know what happens to your data.

Connect

Securely connect GLPI ITSM (source) and your target help desk via API:

  • Encrypted authorization for all credentials
  • No scripts or manual exports required
  • Connection setup completed in minutes

Map Data

Select exactly what data you want to migrate from GLPI ITSM. Automatic data mapping aligns your source fields with the target help desk:

  • Ticket fields and statuses
  • Users (agents)
  • Attachments and comments
  • Changes
  • Problems
  • Knowledgebase

You can also fine-tune field mappings, agent assignments, and workflows to match the destination system.

How to map data

How to migrate GLPI ITSM agents

Agents are matched to existing users in your target platform to preserve ticket ownership, even for inactive or retired users.

  • Required for a Free Demo Migration
  • Missing agents can be created in the Migration Wizard
  • Manual addition is possible if the target API doesn’t support automatic creation

How to match agents

Demo Run

Run a Demo Migration to transfer a sample of GLPI ITSM data. Preview tickets, comments, attachments, and custom fields to see exactly how your data will appear in the target platform.

Why it matters: Validate data accuracy and structure before the full migration — no surprises after go-live.

How to run Demo

Review Demo Results

Check your migrated data using built-in validation tools and logs:

  • Review tickets
  • Confirm field mappings and statuses
  • Identify edge cases or inconsistencies
  • Adjust filters or mappings if needed

Benefit: Full transparency and control before committing to the full migration.

How to check Demo results

Go Live

Optimize Your GLPI ITSM Data Migration with Custom Options

Add Tags to Newly Migrated Tickets

What this option does: During migration, the Help Desk Migration Wizard can automatically attach predefined tags to every ticket in the target platform.

Why it matters: Tags make it easy to group, filter, and review all migrated tickets quickly.

Example: Using a tag like hdm-import or glpi-data, you can instantly identify which tickets came from GLPI ITSM.

Select Records for Demo

What this option does: This option allows you to manually select specific tickets to migrate during your demo or test run.

Why it matters: It ensures your most important or complex tickets are transferred correctly and lets you validate data accuracy before the full migration.

Skipping Attachments

What this option does: Allows you to omit file attachments from the migration process.

Why it matters: Skipping attachments makes the migration faster, reduces system load, and is ideal for demo runs or large datasets.

Migrate the newest records first

What this option does: Decide the priority for your data migration. Move newly created data to GLPI first and leave historical data for later.

Why it matters: Your agents need active, recent tickets on day one. The historical archive is rarely touched day-to-day, so it can catch up afterward without holding anything up.
