Export steps in Ometria
Each one is written out below, with tips.
Your time depends on list size and how many flows you rebuild.
Ometria keeps sending the whole time. You cancel only after Bento carries your mail.
6 steps in Ometria, in the order below. Nothing changes for your subscribers yet.
Upload the CSV and map each column to a Bento field or tag. Suppressions go in first, so nobody who left gets mail.
Authenticate your sending domain, rebuild the flow that earns the most, and send a seed test while Ometria keeps sending.
Warm up with your most engaged subscribers, move the rest of your sending, and cancel Ometria only once Bento carries it.
Run these in Ometria before you change anything there. Keep the files somewhere safe until Bento is sending.
List the customer attributes, events, segments and reports you rely on today so you know what needs to exist in Bento.
TipExport a small sample of customers first so you can see exactly which fields are available.
Use Ometria's customised data export or Segment explorer exports to retrieve contact records, consent, suppression fields, properties and segment data.
TipInclude any unique customer IDs so you can line up data with your ecommerce platform or warehouse.
For important lifecycle or VIP groups run exports of those segments so you can recreate them as segments or tags in Bento.
TipKeep a simple mapping document that shows which Ometria segment becomes which segment or tag in Bento.
Include suppression and consent fields in your contact export, then verify unsubscribed, bounced and blocked addresses before import.
TipImport these into Bento as suppressed contacts before you send any production traffic.
Download HTML for your best performing emails and store screenshots of key journeys so you can rebuild them cleanly in Bento.
TipUse this chance to shorten and simplify templates for faster load and better mobile rendering.
Plan how orders, product catalog data and onsite events will flow directly from your ecommerce platform or data warehouse into Bento instead of through Ometria.
TipStart streaming new events into Bento early so you build history while you finish the rest of the migration.

“Moving to Bento was the best thing I ever did for my list and its profitability”
Iliane L.“I love how easy it is to use to design SaaS emailing sequences. You can also see rapidly which campaigns are the money makers. But what I love the most is undoubtedly the deliverability that you have once you've set up custom domain tracking”
Arnaud B.“The support and community within Bento is hands down the best I've ever seen from any company, ever.”
