Migrate your Contlo data
AI-native marketing automation platform with brand-owned generative AI models for ecommerce customer retention and multi-channel campaign orchestration.
In its favor
Why people choose Contlo
The signal that keeps Contlo on the shortlist. Sourced from G2, Capterra, and customer scoping calls.
Contlo's brand-owned generative AI model lets businesses run AI-driven campaigns without sharing customer data with third-party AI providers, which appeals to privacy-conscious ecommerce brands.
The platform consolidates email, SMS, and voice channels under one roof, reducing the need to stitch together separate tools for customer outreach and retention.
Voice Agent creation requires no code, and Contlo's support team actively helps with onboarding configuration, reducing time-to-first-campaign for small marketing teams.
The Pay-as-you-Grow pricing model is cited as flexible and transparent, letting small businesses start with the free tier and expand contacts and automations without renegotiating contracts.
Built-in customer segmentation with behavioral filters helps ecommerce teams build abandoned cart and lifecycle campaigns without developer involvement.
The Free tier forces a 'Powered by Contlo' link in the footer, which conflicts with brand-consistent customer touchpoints and forces teams toward paid tiers earlier than expected.
Feature overload when enabling all capabilities creates interface complexity, making it difficult for small teams to manage automations without feeling overwhelmed.
Contlo is a relatively small company (26 employees, $14M funding) which raises concerns about long-term platform stability compared to larger CRM competitors.
Customers report inconsistent customer support response times as the product scales, particularly when troubleshooting automation logic or API integrations.

What gets migrated
Contlo object support
Object-by-object support for Contlo migrations. Per-pair details surface during scoping.
Contacts
Fully supportedContacts are Contlo's primary customer record. The Free tier caps at 1,000 contacts; Starter and higher tiers raise this limit. We migrate contacts 1:1 including standard properties (email, name, phone, tags) and preserve custom properties as key-value pairs.
Segments
Fully supportedSegments are behavioral groupings used to target automations. We preserve segment membership as tags on each Contact record during migration. Segment rules (AND/OR logic, filter conditions) are reconstructed at the destination using equivalent targeting criteria.
Automations
Mapping requiredAutomations are workflow sequences triggered by customer events or time-based rules. We extract the trigger type, conditions, and action steps. Complex branching logic may require manual rebuilding in the destination CRM.
Campaigns (Email/SMS)
Mapping requiredCampaigns contain message templates, scheduling, and delivery history. We migrate template content and campaign metadata. Delivery logs and open/click event counts are preserved as analytics exports.
Voice Agents
Mapping requiredVoice Agents are AI-driven phone agents built from Contlo's library. Agent configuration, voice settings, and routing logic are extracted as structured data. The agent logic itself may require reconfiguration in a competing platform.
Analytics / Event History
Mapping requiredEvent-level data (opens, clicks, conversions) can be exported as CSV. We preserve this as a time-series dataset linked to Contact IDs so the destination can display engagement history.
Custom Properties
Mapping requiredContlo supports custom fields on Contacts and Segments. We treat these as flexible key-value data, mapping them to equivalent custom fields in the destination or storing them as a JSON blob if no direct mapping exists.
Brand AI Model Configuration
Not in this platformContlo's brand-owned generative AI Model is a platform-specific artifact built from brand content and training data. It is not a portable data object and cannot be exported in a migration. Customers must re-create the model in the destination platform manually.
