Can Bento send the same types of email as Loops?

Yes, Bento can handle product onboarding emails, lifecycle sequences, and transactional messages similar to Loops while also adding live chat and shared inboxes.

Will I lose my data when moving from Loops to Bento?

Your contacts, custom fields, and suppression lists can move over via CSV exports from Loops and imports into Bento, but you will usually rebuild workflows and bring only the most important historical fields.

How long does a typical Loops to Bento migration take?

Most small to mid sized SaaS teams can export their data, import it into Bento, and rebuild core workflows in a few hours, especially if they focus on the most important journeys first.

Can I reuse my Loops email templates in Bento?

You can copy HTML and content from Loops templates into Bento and then adapt them to Bento components and layout tools, which is usually faster than starting from scratch.
