Migration Flow
A practical migration plan from OptinMonster 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.
Export checklist
- 1Log in to OptinMonster and choose your site
Sign in to your OptinMonster account, then select the site and campaigns you want to migrate your leads from.
- 2Export leads from Monster Leads
Open the leads or subscribers section for each campaign, filter by date range if needed, and use the export option to download your leads as a CSV file.
- 3Capture key campaign settings
For your highest performing campaigns, note the display rules, triggers, and basic design. Take screenshots of popup states, success views, and targeting rules for later reference.
- 4Prepare your CSV for import into Bento
Clean your CSV by removing obvious test data, make sure each row has a valid email, and add columns for tags like source campaign or site so you can segment in Bento.
- 5Import contacts into Bento
Use Bento's CSV import to map email, name, and custom fields, then map your campaign labels into tags. Import into a single people database instead of multiple lists.
Sign in to your OptinMonster account, then select the site and campaigns you want to migrate your leads from.

Tips
- Export all historical leads from OptinMonster once so you do not have to re-open the account later.
- Use tags based on the original campaign names to keep attribution clear inside Bento.
- Plan your welcome and nurture sequences in Bento before importing so new signups can start receiving emails immediately.
- Run Bento side by side with OptinMonster for a short period to compare performance before fully switching.
Watchouts
- OptinMonster does not export on-site analytics or A/B test history, so save key reports before cancelling your account.
- Email history and popup designs will not transfer automatically; you will need to recreate important experiences in your new stack.
- Deleting campaigns in OptinMonster before exporting can make those leads difficult or impossible to recover.
