Migration plan

01
Back up before changing anything
Use Mailchimp's account export if you need a complete archive. It can include separate audience files, campaign content, templates, reports, events, and ecommerce data. Keep this ZIP outside AttuneMail as your migration record.
02
Upload every audience state together
Mailchimp separates subscribed, unsubscribed, non-subscribed, and cleaned contacts. Select those CSV files together in AttuneMail; it detects the file states, deduplicates the email addresses, and ensures the safest status wins.
03
Keep the context that makes the message useful
Retain first name, account fields, useful tags, lifecycle data, preferences, and dates. Flatten multi-audience data into one row per email address while keeping the original export fields available for campaign configuration.
04
Import, configure, and run a pilot
Create an AttuneMail contact list and confirm the permission evidence. Start from a reusable template or a blank campaign, build any required signup form or landing page in AttuneMail, and configure supported campaign rules there. Choose the useful customer fields inside the email composer, generate a representative batch, review every variation, then verify your sending domain before the full launch.
