Migration Tips

ActiveCampaign's lists become tags in Bento - plan your tag structure first
Complex automations may benefit from simplification during migration
If using CRM features, map your deal stages before importing
Test automations thoroughly before going live

Watch Out For

ActiveCampaign's conditional logic may work differently in Bento
Goal-based automation triggers need to be rebuilt as event triggers
Multi-list contacts will have multiple tags - clean up duplicates
