Operate

Migrate, launch, govern, and recover the system

Preserve data and URLs, test live paths, protect access, manage cost, scale deliberately, and own the exit.

Start here

Migrate to systeme.io with a reversible cutover

Inventory domains, pages, contacts, consent, tags, automations, email, products, payments, access, content, analytics, and support before moving. Pilot one complete path, preserve exports, run in parallel, and define rollback.

Leave with a reversible production system and a monthly maintenance rhythm.

Contact import

Clean and map the file while preserving original source, consent, suppression, dates, fields, and exceptions. Stage a small set first and prevent imports from accidentally starting campaigns.

Practical guide

Email migration

Inventory active sequences, entry rules, exclusions, templates, links, sender identities, authentication, schedules, and people currently waiting. Pause or isolate triggers during cutover and reconcile live states.

Funnel migration

Map old pages, forms, checkout, scripts, events, thank-you states, redirects, metadata, and campaign links to the new path. Test every valuable inbound URL and paid-ad destination before cutover. Preserve query parameters, campaign IDs, consent state, form destinations, payment callbacks, confirmation pages, email triggers, and the original analytics baseline.

A sensible order

Read only as far as your decision requires.

If you are beginning from scratch, this sequence moves from overall fit to the details most likely to alter cost, risk, or implementation. If you already know the basics, jump directly to the guide that resolves your remaining uncertainty.

  1. Migration

    Inventory domains, pages, contacts, consent, tags, automations, email, products, payments, access, content, analytics, and support before moving. Pilot one complete path, preserve exports, run in parallel, and define rollback. Use current primary documentation, explicit assumptions, one representative customer journey, and a recoverable operating plan.

  2. Contact import

    Clean and map the file while preserving original source, consent, suppression, dates, fields, and exceptions. Stage a small set first and prevent imports from accidentally starting campaigns. Use current primary documentation, explicit assumptions, one representative customer journey, and a recoverable operating plan.

  3. Email migration

    Inventory active sequences, entry rules, exclusions, templates, links, sender identities, authentication, schedules, and people currently waiting. Pause or isolate triggers during cutover and reconcile live states. Use current primary documentation, explicit assumptions, one representative customer journey, and a recoverable operating plan.
