What comes over from Zendesk Sell

Zendesk has announced that it will retire Zendesk Sell on August 31, 2027. Sell customers keep full access until then, and after that date Zendesk will no longer offer a sales CRM.

Zendesk says leads, contacts, deals, notes, tasks and smart lists can be exported from Sell. It also says activity history, appointments, emails, call logs and documents cannot be exported, so we check what your account holds before anything is planned.

Sell leads become Zoho CRM leads. Sell contacts split into contacts and the accounts they belong to. Deals go to the Deals module, with your Sell pipeline stages mapped to deal stages. Notes and tasks land on the records they belong to, with their original dates and owners.
