What to verify before leaving Mailchimp

Mailchimp is easy to leave badly. The important work is preserving automations, domain reputation, and list hygiene when you move to a Canadian platform.

  • Export audiences, segments, tags, suppression lists, and reusable templates before the migration starts.
  • Rebuild automations and signup flows first; newsletters are the easy part.
  • Set up SPF, DKIM, and sending domains before you send anything meaningful from the new tool.
  • Keep historical campaign reports offline because they rarely transfer cleanly.
