HelpScout Ticket Migrator

HelpScout users can import their ticket database in Fluent Support with just a few clicks. The days of manually transferring tickets from one help desk to another are over.

HelpScout is a SaaS tool that only provides an API for transferring data from their system to your WordPress system.
