Migration Flow

A practical migration plan from Klaviyo to Bento

This guide follows a simple sequence: export cleanly, map data correctly, then validate before cutover. No generic product pitch, just the steps your team needs.

1Export from Klaviyo

2Transfer and map in Bento

3Validate and launch

Stage 1

Export checklist

1Log in to Klaviyo
Go to Klaviyo.com and log in with your credentials. Navigate to the Audience section.
2Export Profiles
Go to Audience > Lists & Segments. Select your main list and click 'Export'. Choose CSV format and include all profile properties.
3Export Segments
For each segment you want to recreate, export the members. Note the segment conditions so you can rebuild them in Bento using tags.
4Document Flows
Review your active Flows and document the triggers, timing, and email content. You'll rebuild these as Sequences and Automations in Bento.
5Export Suppression List
Go to Audience > Suppressed Profiles. Export unsubscribed and bounced contacts separately to ensure you don't email them in Bento.

Stage 3

Validate and cut over

Treat cutover like launch QA. Validate your highest-risk paths first, then move sending traffic.

Send a seed-list test from Bento and verify rendering, links, and tracking.

Compare list and segment counts against Klaviyo before your first live send.

Rebuild high-value automations first, then test each trigger path before cutover.

Keep Klaviyo running for a short overlap while you monitor deliverability in Bento.
