Same ideas, new names

Zoho CampaignsBento

Mailing ListsLists and segmentsZoho Campaigns groups contacts into mailing lists, while Bento prefers a single contact store with segments built from properties and behavior.
SegmentsSegmentsBoth tools let you create dynamic groups of contacts based on filters, though Bento leans heavily on real time behavioral data.
Autoresponders and WorkflowsAutomationsZoho Campaigns uses autoresponders and workflows, while Bento calls them automations and focuses on timelines built from events.
Email TemplatesLayouts and templatesIn Zoho Campaigns you build templates in a gallery, while in Bento you create layouts and templates tied closely to journeys and campaigns.
Signup FormsForms and capture widgetsBoth platforms provide hosted and embedded forms that feed contacts directly into lists and segments.
Topics or Interest GroupsTags and segmentsZoho Campaigns can use topics or lists for preferences, while Bento relies on tags and segments to model interests.

Before you cancel Zoho Campaigns

Start by migrating your most important welcome, onboarding, and revenue focused flows instead of every single legacy automation.
Use Bento tags and segments to replace multiple overlapping Zoho lists so you have a cleaner structure.
Warm up new sending domains and IPs gradually using Bento batching and pausing controls, especially for large lists.
Validate emails with Bento validation during import to reduce bounces and improve inbox placement.
Keep Zoho Campaigns active for a short overlap period until you see Bento sending and reporting working as expected.

Automations and autoresponders from Zoho Campaigns will not transfer automatically, so plan time to rebuild and improve key journeys in Bento.
Detailed email engagement history such as past opens and clicks usually cannot be imported, so export reports for your own records before cancelling Zoho.
If you rely heavily on deep Zoho CRM objects, map the minimum data you need into Bento and keep the rest synced through API or integration tools.

We are on Zoho Campaigns with 12,400 contacts. We need to keep subscribers, tags, and suppressions.

Bento teamReplied

Thanks. Start with suppressions, then your list, then the flows that make money. We can review your domain setup before you send.

Teams switch for deliverability and stay for the support.

“Moving to Bento was the best thing I ever did for my list and its profitability”

Iliane L.

“I love how easy it is to use to design SaaS emailing sequences. You can also see rapidly which campaigns are the money makers. But what I love the most is undoubtedly the deliverability that you have once you've set up custom domain tracking”

Arnaud B.

“The support and community within Bento is hands down the best I've ever seen from any company, ever.”

Questions about leaving Zoho Campaigns.

Will I lose my campaigns and automations when moving from Zoho Campaigns to Bento

Your subscribers, tags, and key custom fields can move over through CSV import, but automations and autoresponders need to be rebuilt in Bento. Most teams use migration as a chance to simplify journeys and focus on flows that drive revenue and retention.

What happens to my deliverability when I switch

Bento includes deliverability tooling such as batching, pausing, and free validation, plus guidance on warming up new domains and IPs. If you follow the recommended warm up plan and clean your lists during migration, you give the new setup a clean start. No provider can guarantee inbox placement.

Is there downtime while I migrate from Zoho Campaigns

You can run both tools briefly in parallel. Many teams keep critical automations active in Zoho Campaigns until the same flows are live and tested in Bento, then switch broadcast sending and finally retire Zoho once they are confident in the new setup.

Will there be downtime?

No. Keep Zoho Campaigns running while you import, test, authenticate your sending domain, and warm up. Once Bento is ready, move your sending and phase out Zoho Campaigns.

Can the Bento team help if I get stuck?

Yes. The team can review your current setup, help you decide what to move first, and advise on deliverability, data mapping, and launch order.
