+# Moving a list off Mailchimp, ActiveCampaign or Ontraport
+
+Read this before importing from another platform. The aim is to bring the
+consent records as well as the addresses, so that on day one everyone's
+status is known and nobody who left is ever emailed again.
+
+## Into Awesomate's Contacts & email
+
+The owner imports, in the hub at https://hub.awesomate.ai/contacts/import
+(Bring your list). It takes a spreadsheet (a CSV with an email column),
+Mailchimp (an API key, which is used once and not kept, or the subscribed,
+unsubscribed and cleaned export files), an ActiveCampaign export (one file per
+status, or one file with a Status column) or an Ontraport export (with the
+Bulk Email Status column). The hub reads each person's status, puts the
+unsubscribed and bounced in first, and sorts everyone by the record of how
+they agreed: a sign-up record, needs the owner's word, or unknown. At review
+the owner picks the lists, gives their word for the people with no record if
+they can, may say that everyone with a given tag is a customer they work with
+regularly (which puts them on a customers list), and commits. They can undo an import until the end of that day.
+
+You can't import or commit, because committing is the owner's statement about
+who agreed. Your part: read the export first, report the counts per status,
+and suggest which list each group or tag belongs on (below).
+
+## Bring these, not just the emails
+
+- Status (subscribed, pending, unsubscribed, bounced, complained).
+- When and how they signed up: time, source or form, IP if recorded,
+  confirmation time if double opt-in.
+- Groups, interests and tags (they map to lists or groups, see below).
+- Custom fields worth keeping (suburb, customer type, last job).
+- The last 12 months of clicks if available, to send to the most engaged
+  first while a new sending address warms up.
+
+## Status maps
+
+| Platform | Status in the source | Becomes |
+|---|---|---|
+| Mailchimp | subscribed, with OPTIN_TIME / CONFIRM_TIME | Can be emailed on the matching list |
+| Mailchimp | subscribed, no sign-up record | Needs the owner's statement before anyone emails them |
+| Mailchimp | pending (never confirmed) | Not emailed. See `asking-permission.md` |
+| Mailchimp | unsubscribed | Suppressed, permanently |
+| Mailchimp | cleaned (hard bounced) | Suppressed, permanently |
+| Mailchimp | transactional, archived | Not on any marketing list |
+| ActiveCampaign | Active (list status 1) | Can be emailed on that list |
+| ActiveCampaign | Unconfirmed (0) | Not emailed |
+| ActiveCampaign | Unsubscribed (2), Bounced (3) | Suppressed |
+| Ontraport | Opted-in, Double opt-in | Can be emailed |
+| Ontraport | Transactional Only | Not on any marketing list |
+| Ontraport | Hard bounce, Under review | Suppressed |
+
+Where to find them: Mailchimp exports an audience as a ZIP with subscribed,
+unsubscribed and cleaned files (Audience, All contacts, Export Audience); the
+API also returns `timestamp_signup`, `timestamp_opt` and `ip_opt`.
+ActiveCampaign's API URL and key are under Settings, Developer. Ontraport's
+API key and App ID are under Administration, Integrations; the email status
+field is `bulk_mail` (Bulk Email Status in an export). For Awesomate, only
+Mailchimp is read by API key; ActiveCampaign and Ontraport come in as export
+files.
+
+Platform field names change; check the export headers rather than trusting
+this table blindly, and say so if a column you expected isn't there.
+
+## Groups and tags: list or group?
+
+- A group or interest someone **chose** on a sign-up form ("Tips", "Specials")
+  is a promise: map it to a list.
+- A tag the business **applied** ("customer", "Carindale", "VIP") is a fact:
+  map it to a field or a group, never to a list.
+- When a source has one big list and no groups, everyone goes on the list
+  closest to what the sign-up form promised. Find the form wording if you
+  can.
+
+## Order of work
+
+1. Read the source and report counts per status before importing anything.
+2. Agree the lists (see `list-planning.md`).
+3. Import, with suppressions first, so a suppressed address can never be
+   re-added as subscribed by a later row. (Awesomate's import does this
+   itself.)
+4. The owner confirms anything that needs their statement.
+5. Decide where new sign-ups go. If the new system takes sign-ups, point the
+   website form and any automations at it. Awesomate's Contacts & email
+   doesn't host a sign-up form, so keep the form in a tool that records what
+   each person agreed to, and import from it.
+6. **Keep the old platform open for 30 days after its last send.**
+   Unsubscribe links in old emails must keep working for that long. At the
+   end, import once more to catch late unsubscribes, then close it.
+7. Leave the old platform's DNS records alone until it is closed.
+
+## Things that go wrong
+
+- Re-importing an old export after unsubscribes have happened, which
+  re-subscribes people. Suppressions always win.
+- Treating "pending" as subscribed. They never confirmed.
+- Importing a "leads" or "event attendees" list with no consent as if it
+  were subscribers.
+- Mapping every tag to a list, so people are "on" ten lists they never
+  chose.
+- Sending to the whole imported list on day one from a new address. Warm up
+  (see `deliverability.md`).

+"was that good?".
+
+## What each number means
+
+| Number | What it really tells you | Trust it? |
+|---|---|---|
+| Delivered | Accepted by the receiving server. Not "in the inbox". | Yes |
+| Bounced | Address doesn't exist (hard) or is temporarily full or blocked (soft). | Yes |
+| Clicked (people) | Unique people who clicked, after filtering inbox scanners. | Yes, the main signal |
+| Replied | People who wrote back. Small but strong. | Yes |
+| Booked, bought | Only if bookings or orders are connected and matched to the email. | Yes, when connected |
+| Unsubscribed | People who left. Read with the content and cadence. | Yes |
+| Complaints | People who pressed "Report spam". The one that hurts deliverability most. | Yes |
+| Opened | Apple Mail and many scanners open emails automatically, so this overstates reading by a lot. | Trend only |
+
+Never decide "who is engaged", pick A/B winners, or praise a send on opens.
+
+## Healthy ranges (rules of thumb, not benchmarks)
+
+- Bounces under about 2% of a send. Above that, the list has old or bad
+  addresses; stop and clean before sending again.
+- Complaints well under 0.1%. Gmail treats 0.3% as a hard line.
+- Unsubscribes: a fraction of a percent per send is normal. A spike means
+  the content didn't match the promise, or the cadence went up.
+- Clicks vary enormously by business and list. **Compare a business with its
+  own previous sends**, not with published industry averages, which are
+  built on opens and on businesses unlike this one.
+
+## What to do about what you see
+
+| You see | Likely cause | Do |
+|---|---|---|
+| Bounces jumped | An old or bought list was imported, or a typo-heavy form | Remove hard bounces, check the source, add form validation |
+| Complaints | People don't remember agreeing, or got more than promised | Check where those people came from; slow the cadence; make the reason-for-receiving line clearer |
+| Unsubscribes spiked | Off-promise content, or a sudden frequency jump | Send what the list promised; offer a less-often option |
+| Clicks dropping send on send | Same email every time, or too often | Fewer, more specific emails; send to a narrower group |
+| Gmail delivering to spam | Authentication, complaints, or a burst to cold addresses | See `deliverability.md` |
+
+## How to report to the owner
+
+One-line verdict, three numbers, at most three next steps, each tied to a
+number. Credit honestly: a click is not a booking unless the booking is
+connected.
+
+> Your best send so far. 1,398 people got it, 214 clicked (15.3%, up from
+> 14.7% in September), and nobody complained.

+# Groups (segments) that a small business can actually use
+
+Read this when choosing who gets a particular email, or when the owner asks
+for "a segment", "a group", "just the people who...".
+
+In Awesomate an email goes to everyone on one list who may be emailed, and
+can't be narrowed to a group. There, groups decide what to write, which list
+fits, and when a handful of personal notes would do better than a broadcast.
+Count them with `awesomate_crm_query` and check examples with
+`awesomate_crm_rows`. On a platform that sends to groups, they also decide
+who gets it.
+
+## Start from what the business recorded
+
+In order of usefulness for a small business:
+
+1. **What they bought, booked or had done**, and when. The strongest signal
+   there is.
+2. **What is due.** Last service date plus the interval: gas appliance
+   service, hot water check, dental recall, car service, term enrolment, tax
+   lodgement, lease renewal.
+3. **What they clicked or replied to.** Interest shown in a past email.
+4. **What they told you.** Answers on a sign-up or preferences page.
+5. **Where they are.** Suburb or postcode, for anything local.
+6. **Their role.** Owner vs tenant vs landlord; who pays vs who is on site.
+
+Opens are not on this list. Apple Mail and many inbox scanners open emails
+automatically, so "opened" does not mean "read". Never build an "engaged"
+group from opens alone.
+
+## Tags: how what the business knows gets in
+
+When the email system holds contacts and email activity but not jobs or
+orders, everything else arrives as **tags**. On most platforms an n8n workflow
+can tag people when a job finishes in ServiceM8, an import brings the old
+platform's tags, and the owner can tag people by hand. In Awesomate's Contacts
+& email, tags and fields come in with an import. Tags are what most groups are
+built from, so keep them tidy:
+
+- **One idea per tag, in the owner's words, with a consistent prefix** when
+  there are many: `service: hot water`, `suburb: Carindale`, `customer:
+  regular`, `installed: 2016`. Prefixes make groups easy to read and stop
+  near-duplicates ("hotwater", "hot water", "HWS").
+- **Say where each tag comes from**: "added by the ServiceM8 workflow when a
+  job is invoiced". A tag nobody can explain is a tag nobody should send on.
+- **A tag is a fact, never permission.** Tagging someone "customer" does not
+  put them on a list or make them emailable. Only their consent does.
+- **Retire tags that stop being true** ("quote pending") or the groups built
+  on them quietly go wrong.
+- Before creating a tag, look for an existing one that means the same thing.
+
+## Recipes
+
+| Group | Rule, in a sentence |
+|---|---|
+| New in the last 30 days | Joined any list in the last 30 days. Gets the welcome, not the backlog. |
+| Active customers | Job, booking or purchase in the last 12 months. |
+| Lapsed customers | Last job or purchase more than one buying cycle ago (12 to 18 months for most services; a term for classes). |
+| Subscribers who never bought | On a list, no job or purchase ever. |
+| Due for service | Last service of type X more than its interval ago, no open booking. |
+| Clicked, didn't act | Clicked the booking or buy link in the last send, no booking or order since. |
+| Quiet for six months | No click, reply, booking or purchase in six months. Candidates for one "still want these?" email, then stop. |
+| Local | Postcode in a list, or within N km of the business. |
+| High value | Top 20% by spend in 24 months (retail), or repeat customers (services). |
+| Interested in X | Ticked X on the preferences page, or clicked an X link twice. |
+
+For retail, recency, frequency and spend (RFM) groups work well: recent and
+frequent buyers get new arrivals first; high spend but lapsed get a personal
+win-back.
+
+## Always leave out
+
+- Unsubscribed, hard-bounced and complained. Not a choice.
+- Anyone emailed in the last few days, unless the list promised more.
+- Anyone with an open complaint or a job in dispute. An offer to an unhappy
+  customer is how a complaint becomes a review.
+- Staff, family and test addresses (put them in a test group instead).
+- People whose only consent is for another list.
+
+## Never build a group from
+
+Health conditions or diagnoses, disability, financial hardship, criminal
+record, religion, ethnicity, sexuality, union or political membership, unless
+the person explicitly consented to that information being used for that
+purpose. In Australia most of these are "sensitive information" under the
+Privacy Act and need consent to collect at all. In practice: use an opt-in
+interest ("interested in our Pilates classes") instead of a condition ("has
+back pain").
+
+Also avoid groups that feel creepy even when legal: "looked at this page
+three times", "lives on your street". Use what the person would expect the
+business to know.
+
+## Size sense
+
+- Under about 20 people: consider personal emails from the owner instead of
+  a broadcast. They will out-perform any template.
+- A group that is most of the list is not a group. Ask what makes this email
+  relevant to only some people.
+- Show the count and two or three example names before using a group, so
+  the owner can spot a wrong rule ("why is my accountant in here?").
+
+## How to write a group down
+
+Name, rule as one sentence, count, and when it was counted. Groups update
+themselves: the count at send time can differ from the count at drafting,
+and each batch re-checks who may be emailed at that moment.
