Move from beehiiv to Sendicorn

Export your subscribers from beehiiv as a CSV file, import it under Contacts, add your sending domain and send. Unsubscribes and bounces stay blocked, and repeats and bad addresses are left out before anything is written. See the prices side by side.

    Import into Sendicorn

    Open Contacts and press Import. Pick the newsletter, keep Status from file, and tick that the people on the list agreed to get email from you. Bought, rented or scraped lists aren't allowed.

    The email, status, signup date and tags columns are read by name. Every other column becomes a field you can use in an email, like a first name, and you can skip any of them. This is how the Status column is read:

    How the Status column is read
    Status saysComes in as
    subscribed, active, or no statusSubscribed
    unsubscribed, inactiveUnsubscribed
    bounced, cleaned, invalid, hard bounceBounced, never mailed again
    complained, spam, spam reportComplaint, never mailed again
    dormantDormant, left out of sends
    anything elseUnsubscribed

    An import never subscribes anyone again: a contact who already left here stays as they are.

    Before anything is written, the preview counts what comes in and what is left out, with the reason for each. The last four checks apply to new subscribers who would come in subscribed:

    What the import leaves out
    Left outWhy
    Not an addressA row whose email can't be an address.
    DuplicateAn address an earlier row already has. The stricter status wins.
    Role addressinfo@, admin@ and the like, unless you tick them in.
    TypoAn address that looks mistyped. Tick it in to keep it; we never change it.
    ThrowawayA disposable inbox.
    Can't receive emailA domain whose DNS can't take mail.

    Add your sending domain

    Open Domains in the panel and add the domain you send from. Copy the records it shows to your DNS host: three DKIM records, a MAIL FROM record and its SPF line, and, if the domain has none, the DMARC record it suggests.

    DKIMMAIL FROMSPFDMARC

    The panel checks the records by itself for 72 hours, and Check again runs the check at once. Your old account keeps sending while you wait.

    Send the first campaign

    Choose a plan and pay at checkout; your account can send as soon as the payment goes through. Send yourself a test from the campaign page first.

    A first send of 1,000 or more to a list this project never mailed goes to a random tenth first, then to the rest 15 minutes later if bounces and complaints stay low. If they run high, the project pauses and we email you what happened. That protects your domain while the list proves itself here.

Questions

Will my unsubscribed and bounced beehiiv subscribers stay blocked?

Yes, when the file says so. Unsubscribed or inactive comes in unsubscribed, bounced or cleaned comes in bounced, and spam complaints come in as complaints, so none of them get mail. An import never subscribes anyone again.

What does the import leave out?

Rows without a valid address and repeated addresses. For new subscribers it also leaves out throwaway inboxes and domains that can't receive email, and role addresses like info@ and likely typos unless you tick them in. The preview shows each count and reason before anything is written.

Do my subscribers have to confirm again?

No. When you import, you confirm that the people on the list agreed to get email from you, and they come in subscribed. Bought, rented or scraped lists aren't allowed.

Can I keep beehiiv while I move?

Yes. Importing changes nothing on beehiiv. Send from Sendicorn once your domain is verified, then cancel there.

Do my automations come over?

No, automations don't import. Rebuild them under Automations, or connect Claude or ChatGPT and ask it to draft them. A draft waits until you turn it on.
