How do you migrate from Zendesk without losing data?

To migrate from Zendesk without losing data, inventory your tickets, users, organizations, articles, macros, fields and integrations, decide what to move or archive, map fields to the new system, run a test migration and check samples, rebuild key automations, train agents, then cut over with a short overlap period and a full export kept as a backup.
