Conversation
HelpScout's links, `secure.helpscout.net/conversation/{ID}/{number}/`, are
all over Slack, Trac, and docs. Imported conversations keep HelpScout's
number but not its ID, so swapping in FreeScout's address opened nothing,
or the wrong conversation.
WPOrgSite now redirects `/conversation/{ID}/{number}` and `/conversation/{ID}`
to the conversation the HelpScout one was imported as, for agents who may see
it. It keeps its own table of HelpScout IDs, copied from the importer's and
added to as the importer saves more, so links keep working once the importer
is removed.

Make the importer copy idempotent.
If an importer save occurs after the destination table is created and before copy_imported() runs, the saved listener can insert the same helpscout_id. The plain INSERT then fails on the destination table's primary key. A retry skips the copy because the table already exists.
Create the table only when it is missing, then always call copy_imported(). Skip IDs already present in the destination table. The importer schema makes conversation_id non-null, so no null-row filter is needed.

HelpScout's links to conversations look like
https://secure.helpscout.net/conversation/{ID}/{number}/, and they're all over Slack, Trac, and docs. Imported conversations keep HelpScout's number, but not its ID, which is HelpScout's own. So swapping in FreeScout's address, as people have been told to, opens nothing, or a different conversation.WPOrgSite now redirects those links to the conversation the HelpScout one was imported as:
/conversation/{ID}/{number}, a HelpScout link with FreeScout's address, is a new route. The ID says which conversation it is; the number is ignored./conversation/{ID}is core's route, which would answer with a 404. A middleware redirects it first, when there's no FreeScout conversation with that ID. HelpScout's IDs are 9 or 10 digits, far beyond FreeScout's, so they don't stand for one. Viewing a conversation costs one primary-key lookup more.wporgsite_helpscout_conversationstable, so links keep working once the importer and its tables are gone. Its migration copies the importer's table in oneINSERT … SELECT. The conversations the importer imports from then on, like the Data mailbox's and the Plugins mailbox's new ones, are added through theeloquent.savedevent of its model. The model is named rather than used, so nothing breaks once the importer is removed.Testing:
npm run freescout:testfromenvironments/(487 tests).HelpScoutLinksTestcovers both link forms (the full one with a trailing slash and HelpScout'sfolderId), the 404 for an agent without access, and both ways IDs reach the table. Each test fails with the middleware, the access check, or the importer listener taken out.🤖 Generated with Claude Code
