Migration Tips
- Export one clean master CSV per list from Pabbly and keep a backup copy before you start importing into Bento.
- Decide how Pabbly lists will map to Bento tags and segments so you avoid recreating the same structure twice.
- Rebuild your most important welcome and purchase related automations first before migrating long tail campaigns.
- Send test emails to yourself from Bento before fully cutting over sending from Pabbly.
Watch Out For
- Automations and journeys from Pabbly do not migrate automatically and need to be rebuilt inside Bento.
- Email history such as past opens and clicks stays in Pabbly so download any reports you need before closing the account.
- Make sure you import unsubscribed and bounced contacts into Bento's suppression list so you stay compliant.
