Before you approve the migration, prove what arrived.

Reconcile the source scope you agreed to move against the records, fields, and relationships that reached Pipedrive—then close on a customer-confidential acceptance receipt.

Synthetic fixture only. A live receipt requires actual schemas, authorization, an external trust anchor, and customer sign-off.

What exists now

The tool can reject a bad move—not merely decorate a good one.

The clean synthetic migration closes with its declared export omissions visible. A seeded migration is refused with six deterministic errors. Both outcomes are generated by the same frozen verifier.

Tested against malformed inputs, forged trust anchors, privacy leakage, hardlinks, APFS aliases, and symlink traversal. Synthetic success is not represented as customer evidence.

The closing gap

Migration providers move the records. This pilot defines the exact result the customer is being asked to accept.

Zendesk says its standard Sell export excludes activity history, appointments, emails, call logs, and documents. Some authorized API-led methods can move more. The receipt records the actual method and scope; it never turns a standard-export omission into a claim of universal data loss.

ExitRamp does not replace the migration consultant, choose the destination, or declare customer acceptance. It supplies the deterministic exception boundary, one correction run, and the final artifact the authorized administrator can sign off—or refuse.

The acceptance sequence

One controlled cutover. Four explicit boundaries.

Scope the source

Inventory every configured file, bind the agreed keys, and state what the supplied export cannot test.

Reconcile the move

Compare source IDs, destination-native IDs, required fields, and parent relationships after cutover.

Name every exception

Keep record identifiers out of the receipt and place actionable remediation details in an encrypted customer-only ledger.

Close after correction

Run one corrected verification, authenticate the final receipt, and let the customer—not the tool—approve the result.

Pilot boundary

Useful because it says what it cannot prove.

01
A preserved source ID or deterministic crosswalk is required.
02
No mailbox connection and no Gmail export workflow.
03
No claim that every Zendesk object can be recovered or moved.
04
No regulated healthcare, legal, or financial datasets in the pilot.
05
No customer receipt or remediation ledger is published.

One no-charge design-partner opening

Bring the cutover. Keep the client.

You supply one authorized Zendesk Sell → Pipedrive case at the acceptance stage. I configure the actual crosswalk, run locally, return the customer-confidential receipt and encrypted remediation ledger, and include one corrected rerun. The provider keeps the implementation and relationship.

First caseNo charge

No payment even if the pilot succeeds.

Apply without sending files The first email asks only for a record band, migration method, crosswalk status, and cutover date.
