Migrating to Kit from another platform doesn't have to be complicated, and we're here to help. In this guide, we'll cover how to migrate from AWeber to Kit.

Let's dive in.

We refer to certain things differently from AWeber. Here’s a quick overview of the similarities and differences in our terminology:

Take the time to get the hang of our terminology. You’ll use it a lot after you’ve switched to our platform.

Go to the Subscribers page in your AWeber account, under the Subscribers tab.

You'll see all of the subscribers in your list on this page. You can also search for a subset of the list using the "Search Option" drop-down menu before searching.

​Once your list of subscribers appears, scroll to the bottom left corner of the search results, and click the Export CSV button to download a spreadsheet with all their information.
​

Once you've exported your subscribers, follow the steps here to import them into Kit.

Select the Grow tab in the navigation, followed by Landing Pages & Forms, to launch the Landing Page & Forms screen.

From there, click the + Create new button to create a new Kit Form or Landing Page.

Choose a Form or Landing Page template that matches your AWeber form or landing page the closest.

Then, use our Form or Landing Page builder to customize your Kit Form or Landing Page (as relevant).

Given the differences between our and AWeber's builders, you may not be able to make your Kit Form or Landing Page look exactly the same as your AWeber one. But use this opportunity to revamp the look of your forms and landing pages!

Then, when you're happy with your Kit Forms and Landing Pages, publish and replace your AWeber ones with them. 🧹

Go to Email Templates under the navigation's Send tab to create a new email template in Kit.

Select an email template that resembles your AWeber email template the closest, and then use our visual email template editor to customize the template.

Try to design the template's text, colors, and fonts such that it looks similar to—or even better than—its AWeber counterpart.

Recreating your AWeber workflow messages involves setting up Sequences in Kit.

A Sequence is a set of automated emails sent according to preset send schedules. To send the emails in your Sequence, you'll need to add the Sequence to a Kit Visual Automation (more on this in the next section).

Start a new Kit Sequence by clicking the navigation's Send tab, followed by Sequences, and finally the + New sequence button.

Select a default email template for your Sequence. (You'll be able to change your email template for specific Sequence emails afterward.)

Copy/paste the contents of your AWeber workflow messages into the Sequence, adding extra Sequence emails as you need.

You'll also need to set up the Sequence emails' Send Days.

For example, if a contact previously received your AWeber workflow message at the same time as their signup time, then set the Send Day for your Kit Sequence's first email to 0 days after the last email.

This way, the email will be sent immediately.

Go to Visual Automations from the navigation's Automate tab. Click + New automation, followed by Start from scratch, to start a blank new Visual Automation.

First, recreate your AWeber workflow's conditions as your Kit Visual Automation's entry points.

Then, add Visual Automation steps corresponding to your AWeber workflow's actions and filters.

For example, if your AWeber workflow sends contacts one automated message after they subscribe via a specific form, you could set up your Kit Visual Automation like this:
