Migration Tips

  • Start with a single project or service to validate your Bento setup before migrating everything.
  • Keep Resend credentials active for a short overlap so you can fall back if needed during cutover.
  • Use Bento anonymous event tracking and tags from day one so you can build richer journeys than you had with Resend.
  • Rebuild key transaction flows first such as signups, password resets, and invoices, then layer on marketing sequences.

Watch Out For

  • Historical Resend logs and metrics do not automatically migrate so export anything you need for compliance before shutting the account down.
  • Inbound email routes and Resend specific features need new implementations inside Bento or your application.
  • DNS changes and domain warm up can affect deliverability for a short period so plan migrations outside peak sending windows.
