This step will perform a dry run of the import process:<ul class="accent-bullets"><li>It checks if the API key is correct and has the necessary permissions.</li><li>It identifies any missing or incompatible data fields before the import begins.</li></ul>This allows you to fix any issues ahead of time and ensures a smooth import experience. </li></ol><hr><h1>Importing data from Zendesk</h1>Easily migrate your Zendesk tickets, contacts, tags, and attachments into Productlane with just a few steps.<ol class="steps-list"><li>Prepare Your Zendesk Credentials To get started, you'll need three things:<ul class="accent-bullets"><li>Zendesk API URL – usually looks like: <code class="inline-code-shadow bg-gray-100 border border-gray-200/60 dark:border-gray-800 font-medium dark:bg-gray-700/60 text-gray-700 dark:text-gray-200 font-mono text-md px-1 py-0.5 rounded-[0.2rem] [&amp;::before]:content-none [&amp;::after]:content-none">https://your-domain.zendesk.com/api/v2/</code></li><li><a href="https://support.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/4408889192858-Managing-access-to-the-Zendesk-API" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" class="cursor-pointer box-border font-semibold border-b hover:border-b-[2px] transition-all duration-75 " style="text-decoration: none; color: inherit; border-color: var(--portal-accent-color);">Zendesk Token</a> – generated in your Zendesk admin settings</li><li>Zendesk Email – the email associated with your Zendesk admin account</li></ul><blockquote>Note: We do not store your token or any data used for the import.

This is helpful if you're migrating from another tool or working with exported data.<ol class="steps-list"><li>Upload Your File Start by uploading a <code class="inline-code-shadow bg-gray-100 border border-gray-200/60 dark:border-gray-800 font-medium dark:bg-gray-700/60 text-gray-700 dark:text-gray-200 font-mono text-md px-1 py-0.5 rounded-[0.2rem] [&amp;::before]:content-none [&amp;::after]:content-none">.csv</code> file containing your notes.

If there are no contacts, you can skip this step, but note that the imported threads won’t be associated with any user.</li><li>Map created dateChoose the column containing the createdAt timestamp. This helps maintain the original timeline of your notes.</li><li>Map note text Select the column that contains the actual note or feedback text. This is a required step - otherwise, the note content will not be imported.</li><li>Choose stateYou can choose to mark all imported notes as processed during import. If left unchecked, imported notes will be treated as newly received.</li><li>Final Preview and CleanupYou’ll see a final preview of the notes to be imported.This allows you to:<ul class="accent-bullets"><li>Double-check the data</li><li>Remove any entries you don’t want to import</li><li>Review which entries have missing contact information (e.g. No contact)</li></ul><blockquote>⚠️ Notes without a valid contact will still be imported, but they won’t be linked to any user.</blockquote></li></ol><hr><h1>Suggest an Import source</h1>Need to import data from another tool?
