Painlessly import tickets into your help desk
Import ticket data from a CSV file directly into Deskpro, in addition to our existing User and Organization data importers.
Once uploaded, you can map data from your file to both pre-defined and custom fields in your Deskpro help desk to ensure Tickets are imported with the information you need.
Generate tables of Users and Organizations with CRM Lists
This update extends the CRM capabilities, enabling agents to create custom no-code lists of users or organizations within your help desk with the List functions intuitive is/is not filtering.
Similarly to Ticket Lists, agents can create personalized custom lists. At the same time, admins can create lists on a per-team or global basis. Facilitating powerful and efficient user and organization filtering across your help desk.

A new way to pause Follow Ups
