leave EmailOctopus. keep the work.

mailexodus reads EmailOctopus over its API and normalizes subscribers, lists, tags, custom fields into one portable schema — so you move with a report, not a 40-item checklist.

why teams leave EmailOctopus.

  • →
    EmailOctopus migrations need an explicit boundary around what the API exposes.
  • →
    Teams want a dry-run report before rebuilding subscribers, lists, tags, custom fields.

// the playbook

how an agent migrates EmailOctopus → Sequenzy.

This is exactly what mailexodus hands your agent: authenticate, then for each object type — read it from EmailOctopus, map it to the portable schema, write it to the destination. mailexodus never writes; your agent does, with this report in hand.

01 · authenticate

Create an EmailOctopus API key with read access to lists, contacts, tags, campaigns, and reports. Paste the key, or JSON with apiKey

  • contacts already mid-flight inside active automations
guardrails
  • Sender reputation is earned at the destination — set up SPF/DKIM/DMARC and a warmup ramp; it does not transfer.
  • Keep the source platform active until authentication, warmup, and in-flight automations have finished.
  • Honor suppressions before the first send.
  • After writing, verify counts per object type against the source before switching live sends.
