Migration Strategy

Migrating to Salesforce Service Cloud from Zendesk requires a deep analysis, planning, and execution. The migration can be categorized into three different buckets and corresponding set of actions:

» Service Process (Cloud) Migration

  • Ticket management – different views, different layouts, searching capability, access control setup. Similar configuration as Zendesk but in Salesforce way.

  • Different channels configuration – Email to Case, Case new page in self service customer community, Phone to Case Integration or any other channel.

  • Macros & Workflow migration – Case Status Workflow, Acknowledgment, First Response, SLA (Entitlement and Milestone setup)

  • Trigger and automation migration

     

» Data Migration

  • User migration along with SSO attributes

  • Knowledge | Article migration

  • Organization & Customer migration

  • Case migration

  • Case Comment migration

  • Attachment migration

  • Some key points:

    • Case Comment in Salesforce does not support rich text, so consider feed or email message too.

    • Preserve the inner linking from one case to another or Knowledgebase.

    • Manage duplicate Accounts and Contacts while migration.

    • Consider Audit field migration carefully – like createddate, lastmodifieddate, close date, createdby etc.

    • Update required field and keep linking of Data with Customer who created it.

    • Maintain the references of Knowledgebase to each other. Article referencing other article in Zendesk will require to maintain the same kind of linking in Salesforce too.

       

» Service Portal (Community) Migration

  • Configure self-service portal – put standard registration form and login form.

  • Transform new case form along with standard case deflection.

  • Enable live chat powered by Einstein.

  • Customize Article detail page and enable community 360 to gather customer insights.
