Native forms integrated with 3rd-party forms:

3rd-party form integrations cannot be migrated. These forms need to be integrated using connectors like Zapier. Please contact us if you want us to build this integration for you.

Emails and Email Templates:

Emails and email templates need to be recreated in FunnelBud Flow. You can use the email builder in Flow to recreate emails and email templates. We suggest recreating recurring emails (like newsletters, etc), automated emails like autoresponders and nurturing emails, and updated email templates only.

Landing pages and Landing page templates:

LPs and LP templates need to created manually  FunnelBud Flow. Please note that not at all published LPs need to be created. Check if you're still using the LP and recreate only those are actively used. You can use the funnel builder in Flow to recreate LPs and LP templates.

Lists:

Static lists can be migrated by exporting the list from Close and importing them to Flow. (Related instructions: How to export leads in a list from Close and How to import contacts in Flow)

Rules-based lists can be recreated as smart lists in Flow. Make sure that all custom fields used in rules-based lists are already migrated to Flow before creating smart lists. Please note that some list rules in Close are not available in Flow. In this case, we suggest getting help from our experts on how to create these smart lists.

Automations:

Visual workflows, opportunity workflows and action groups need to be recreated in Flow. Please note that sometimes advanced automations cannot be recreated "as is" in Flow. We suggest getting help from our experts to create these automations.

Media Files:

How to migrate trackable media files:

Creating a trigger link for relevant media files will allow you to track who clicked and viewed the files.

Media files like logos and other graphics used in emails and landing pages can be migrated as regular media files. No need to create trigger links.
