Migration Flow
A practical migration plan from Resend 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.
Stage 1
Export checklist
- 1Review how you use Resend today
List the projects, domains, environments, and applications that depend on Resend so you can migrate them methodically.
- 2Export contacts and audiences
In the Resend dashboard go to your contacts or audiences section and export subscribers to CSV so you can import them into Bento.
- 3Export suppression and bounce data
Download suppressions, bounces, and complaints from Resend and import them into Bento as do not contact records.
- 4Collect templates from your codebase
Identify the React Email components or HTML templates you use with Resend and plan how you will render the same HTML when calling Bento.
- 5Configure domains and DNS in Bento
Add your sending domains in Bento, update DNS records, and wait for verification before switching production traffic.
Stage 2
Data portability map
Know in advance what imports directly and what may require a rebuild.
Stage 3
Validate and cut over
Treat cutover like launch QA. Validate your highest-risk paths first, then move sending traffic.
Switching from Resend can be done in one focused session
We help you map lists, rebuild key automations, and validate deliverability before cutover so your first week on Bento is smooth.
BentoOperator Notes
Resend to Bento language map
Keep this open while rebuilding flows. It maps terminology and highlights what to do first during migration QA.
- ProjectWorkspace
Both group your domains, API keys, and email configuration for one product or environment.
- BroadcastCampaign or Broadcast
Single send marketing emails to a segment of your list.
- Audience or SegmentSegment or Tag
A filtered group of contacts based on traits or behavior.
- DomainSending domain
The authenticated domain used in your From address.
- API KeyAPI Key
Credential your application uses to authenticate with the email API.
- Email EventEvent
Opens, clicks, bounces, and custom events that drive automation and reporting.
- TemplateTemplate
Reusable email layout that you can render from code or manage inside Bento.
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.
Watchouts
- 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.
