Good preparation makes the migration smooth. Go through this checklist before you get started:
- Gather your account information – Make sure you have access to your Mailchimp account and that you have admin rights.
- Review your Mailchimp data – Take stock of what you want to bring over: contacts (active subscribers only), email templates and campaign insights.
- Clean up your contact list – Remove invalid addresses, duplicates and unsubscribed contacts. Segment your audience for an organized import.
- Decide which automations you want to recreate – Make a list of workflows (e.g. welcome emails, abandoned cart reminders) and note the triggers, timing and email content.
- Prepare for domain verification – Make sure you have access to your domain's DNS settings. Xendy will provide the required DNS records during the setup process.
