ActiveCampaign and AttuneMail solve different-sized problems.

Only use ActiveCampaign outside AttuneMail for

A mature automation builder that combines triggers, actions, branching logic, contact behavior, CRM data, messaging, forms, and landing pages.

Your lifecycle program depends on multi-step behavioral or event-driven automations.
You use CRM deals, lead scoring, site tracking, SMS, or sales automation in the same workflows.
Your existing ActiveCampaign automations and connected integrations already run critical processes.

Move focused revenue email to AttuneMail

A review-first revenue email workspace with recipient-specific drafts, focused CRM, event-driven journeys, hosted growth tools, guarded sending, and measurable follow-up outcomes.

You need to inspect and edit the exact generated email for every recipient before launch.
You want stalled deals, trial activity, lifecycle events, or CRM dates to prepare a relevant next email.
You need focused email journeys and revenue follow-up without carrying a broader multichannel automation suite.

Migration plan

Move once. Prove it. Switch off the overlap.

Use a short cutover window while a representative AttuneMail campaign is imported, reviewed, authenticated, and delivered. Then retire overlapping ActiveCampaign campaign sends.

1
Export the list and status you intend to use
Open Contacts > Lists, choose the relevant list, select the contact status, and export the fields you need. ActiveCampaign includes standard contact data, status, tags, subscription dates, custom fields, and scores in the CSV; contact notes are not exportable.
2
Export every contact state
Download Active, Unsubscribed, Bounced, and Unconfirmed records. Upload the CSV files together; AttuneMail combines duplicates, makes blocked states win, and includes the result in the import review. Preserve subscription dates, source context, and any permission evidence your team relies on.
3
Choose what AttuneMail will own
Choose the email and focused revenue workflows AttuneMail will own: reusable templates, forms, pages, event-driven journeys, recipient review, authenticated sending, focused CRM, stalled-deal or lifecycle playbooks, reply handling, and outcome reporting. List advanced scoring, site tracking, SMS, or other multichannel jobs separately only if the business actively uses them.
4
Import and prove the complete path
Queue the exports in Migration Center, review the background job's accepted, blocked, duplicate, and invalid totals, and retry or safely roll back if the result is wrong. If you are moving CRM data, upload companies, contacts, and deals together so matching relationships are recreated. Rebuild the required form with email confirmation where appropriate, journey, and content; then verify your sending domain and run a small send before pausing the overlapping ActiveCampaign campaign.

AttuneMail imports safely

Active contact rows and the exported standard or custom fields
Tags, list name, scores, and subscription dates included in the CSV
Approved copy and brand assets you use in AttuneMail templates and pages
Permission evidence plus unsubscribe, bounce, complaint, and unconfirmed exports that AttuneMail imports as non-sendable

AttuneMail replaces natively

Create reusable campaign content in AttuneMail's template editor
Build hosted signup forms and block-based landing pages, connect the form block, and publish them
Rebuild supported event-driven journeys with signed custom, Stripe, Supabase, or Clerk event connections, delays, conditions, and goal exits
Configure focused CRM and revenue playbooks only for the contacts, companies, deals, tasks, and follow-up signals AttuneMail will own
Choose the contact and event fields that shape personalization inside the email composer

Only if your business uses these

These are adjacent CRM, channel, or historical jobs—not reasons to keep ActiveCampaign as your campaign-email platform.

SMS, advanced multichannel orchestration, site tracking, lead scoring, and complex branch structures beyond AttuneMail's email-journey model
Custom objects, advanced CRM relationships, and historical behavioral context that are not represented in the migrated records or connected events
An offline archive of historical reports, automation history, and integration configuration

Cutover checklist

Protect consent, deliverability, and continuity.

01Retain separate exports for unsubscribed, bounced, and unconfirmed contacts.
02Document every ActiveCampaign automation that could still message the pilot audience.
03Verify the AttuneMail sending domain and test reply and unsubscribe behavior.
04Publish and test any AttuneMail form or landing page before routing campaign traffic to it.
05Review subscription preferences and enable double opt-in on forms that should hold new contacts pending until email confirmation.
06Stop overlapping ActiveCampaign campaign sends after the AttuneMail pilot succeeds.

ActiveCampaign migration FAQ

Details before you move.

Can AttuneMail import ActiveCampaign automations?+

AttuneMail does not copy ActiveCampaign workflow definitions. Rebuild supported email journeys natively with signed custom, Stripe, Supabase, or Clerk events plus email, delay, condition, and exit steps. Keep SMS, site tracking, lead scoring, advanced branch structures, and other multichannel operations in the system that will own them.

Do I need another tool for forms and landing pages?+

No. AttuneMail has native hosted signup forms and block-based landing pages with publishing and persisted metrics. ActiveCampaign's page definitions do not transfer, but the replacement is built and operated inside AttuneMail rather than in a separate product.

Which ActiveCampaign contacts should I upload?+

Upload the Active, Unsubscribed, Bounced, and Unconfirmed exports together. AttuneMail deduplicates by email, gives blocked states priority, and imports only Active contacts as sendable.

How should I compare ActiveCampaign and AttuneMail pricing?+

Price the same contact limit, monthly send volume, users, automation needs, CRM add-ons, channels, and support period. ActiveCampaign's public model combines plan, contact limit, and plan-specific send capacity; AttuneMail packages active customer profiles, sends, connected event sources, playbooks, seats, and governance. Verify the live quotes before purchase.
