Stage 3

Validate and cut over

Treat cutover like launch QA. Validate your highest-risk paths first, then move sending traffic.

Send a seed-list test from Bento and verify rendering, links, and tracking.
Compare list and segment counts against SendGrid before your first live send.
Rebuild high-value automations first, then test each trigger path before cutover.
Keep SendGrid running for a short overlap while you monitor deliverability in Bento.
