05 · Migration path
Moving from Zendesk to Wutt
- Export your contacts and conversation history from Zendesk (CSV).
- Create your Wutt workspace and connect the same WhatsApp number via Meta Cloud API or QR session.
- Re-submit your approved templates in Wutt; Meta keeps template approvals per business, not per provider.
- Import contacts, tags, and notes into Wutt.
- Recreate your support automations as Wutt campaigns, flows and booking services.
- Run both tools in parallel for one week, then switch your wa.me links and QR codes to Wutt.
Most teams migrate in 3–5 days. Your WhatsApp number is not lost — it is connected to a new application, not moved.

Questions buyers ask before switching
No. Your number stays with you. You disconnect it from Zendesk and connect it to Wutt using the same Meta Cloud API account or a QR session. Meta approvals for templates are tied to your business, not to Zendesk.
The mechanical part takes one to two hours: export contacts, connect the number, import templates. Most teams run both tools for a week before fully switching links and QR codes.
You can reuse the same template text, but you re-submit the templates inside Wutt so approvals are associated with your Wutt workspace. Most approvals take a few hours to a few days.
Zendesk is the most mature helpdesk on the market and ~$19/agent/mo (annual) is fair for email support. But WhatsApp needs an extra messaging product, and the Suite runs to ~$115/agent/mo. Wutt covers WhatsApp + Telegram with booking and store chat for a flat $11–$299.
Not natively — Zendesk is a ticketing platform. Wutt's booking workflow, store catalog-to-order chat and Stripe/PayPal/Tap payments are built into every plan.
No. Meta bills you for message fees and Wutt bills a flat plan price — Wutt adds zero markup to Meta fees.
Wutt runs a $1 first-month trial. Zendesk offers a free trial. Compare both side by side on the same number.
