Migration Flow
A practical migration plan from Vero 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 your Vero projects and messaging setup
Log in to Vero and list the projects, newsletters, journeys, and transactional messages you are currently using.
- 2Export people and segments from Vero
From the People or Segments view in Vero, export your main audiences as CSV files including all profile properties.
- 3Export custom fields and traits
Review the attributes attached to your users in Vero and make sure they are included as columns in your CSV exports so they can become fields in Bento.
- 4Copy email templates and layouts
Open each important campaign, newsletter, or journey email in Vero and copy the HTML or drag-and-drop content into local files.
- 5Document workflows, triggers, and timing
For each Vero journey or workflow, write down the entry conditions, filters, emails, and delays that make up the flow.
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 Vero 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.

Tips
- Mirror your important Vero segments with Bento tags or segments before you start sending.
- Rebuild your highest-impact journeys first, like onboarding and trial nurture, before migrating edge-case flows.
- Use Bento's batched sending and pause controls while you validate events and templates against your Vero metrics.
- Lean on Bento's team, live chat, and community to sanity check your migration plan.
Watchouts
- Journeys and workflows do not export from Vero, so you will need to rebuild automation logic manually in Bento.
- If you used Vero Connect with a separate ESP, remember to update DNS records, webhooks, and API keys when you move sending to Bento.
- Historical engagement data from Vero will not automatically appear in Bento dashboards unless you import it separately as events.
