Moving from Syncro

Bring in customers, tickets and invoices from Syncro, one export at a time.

What comes across

The record types we can build from your Syncro export.

  • Companies. The businesses you sell to, buy from or work alongside. Each row becomes one company, and every contact, deal and invoice you bring later links back to it by name.
  • People. The individual people you talk to. Each row becomes one contact, attached to the company named on the same row.
  • Invoices. Your invoices. Each row becomes one invoice in your workspace.
  • Tickets. The support requests your customers have raised. Each row becomes one ticket against the company or contact it names, keeping its original dates.

The files a real export gives you

  • Customer Export. Becomes your companies. We have not seen a real copy of this file, so we read it by name rather than by its column list.
  • Ticket Export. Becomes your tickets. We have not seen a real copy of this file, so we read it by name rather than by its column list.
  • Invoice Export. Becomes your invoices. We have not seen a real copy of this file, so we read it by name rather than by its column list.

Getting your files out

Three steps, then bring everything back here at once.

  1. Sign in to your old system.
  2. Go to Settings, then Export, and choose every record type it offers.
  3. You will get one or more files. Come back here and drop all of them in at once.

Nothing is written until you say so. You will see what we made of every file, decide anything we cannot decide on our own, and read a plain summary of what pressing the button does before it does it.

The order we bring things in

We will bring these in this order so the links hold.

  1. Companies. Companies come before contacts, because a contact is attached to one.
  2. People. Contacts come after companies and before everything that names a person.
  3. Invoices. An invoice needs its customer, its products and its tax rates first.
  4. Tickets. A ticket needs its queue and the person who raised it, so both come first.

The columns we read

What each one is called here, the headings we recognise for it, and an example.

Companies

The companies or accounts list out of the system you are leaving.

FieldDescription

Words we recognise

Type any of these and we will know what you mean. Anything else comes across as it is written.

People: lifecycle stage

subscriber, lead, mql, marketing qualified lead, marketingqualifiedlead, sql, sales qualified lead, salesqualifiedlead, opportunity, customer, evangelist.

Tickets: status

open, new, reopened, in progress, working, waiting on customer, pending, awaiting reply, waiting on internal, escalated, resolved, solved, fixed, closed, done, cancelled, canceled.

What is not coming across.

  • Contacts are not on the export screen. You have to ask their support team to send you the contact list, so plan for that before you start.
  • Ticket comments are not on the export screen either. They are the conversation history on every ticket, and they come from the same support request as the contact list.
  • We keep one total for each invoice and what has been paid against it, so the balance still owing is worked out rather than stored. The subtotal and the tax amount on the invoice have no home of their own, and those two columns stay behind.
  • There is no one button that exports everything. Run the customer, ticket and invoice exports separately and upload them one at a time.
  • The invoice list can also be pulled straight from its own web address instead of the export screen. Same columns either way, so it does not matter which one you used.
  • Photos and files come over on their own. One move brings over 2 GB and 500 files.
  • Saved replies are set up in Laureo rather than carried across.

What a move can hold

The same limits apply whichever system you are coming from.

  • One file can hold up to 10,000 rows.
  • One file can be up to 10 megabytes.
  • You can undo a move for 30 days after it finishes.
  • You can undo a single file import for 24 hours after it finishes.

Coming from something else? The list of systems we read has a page for each one, and a file from a system with no page of its own still comes across: we read the headings and you confirm every one of them before anything is written.
