How to Migrate from Mailchimp to GetResponse Step-by-Step
To migrate from Mailchimp to GetResponse: Export your active subscribed contacts as a CSV from Mailchimp (excluding unsubscribed contacts), upload the CSV into GetResponse mapping tags and fields, set up custom domain DKIM/SPF DNS records, and recreate your key welcome automation.
Step-by-Step SOP Instructions
Follow these sequential steps in your GetResponse dashboard to complete setup with 100% accuracy.
Step 1: Export Active Contacts from Mailchimp
In Mailchimp, filter by 'Email Marketing Status = Subscribed' and export as CSV. Avoid exporting unsubscribed leads to keep your new list clean.
Step 2: Upload CSV into GetResponse
Go to Contacts > Add contacts > Upload a file. Map email addresses, first names, and apply an imported tag.
Step 3: Authenticate Custom Domain DNS
Add GetResponse DKIM CNAME records to your DNS manager to ensure sender reputation transfers seamlessly.
Step 4: Recreate Automation Workflows
Rebuild your primary welcome sequence using GetResponse's drag-and-drop builder or pre-designed templates.
Step 5: Send Initial Warm-Up Broadcast
Send an engaging newsletter to your most active recent openers to establish positive inbox placement, then cancel Mailchimp.
