Migrate your ELAINE data
Enterprise email marketing and marketing automation platform with drag-and-drop campaign sequencing. Built for teams managing complex subscriber lifecycles across multiple channels.
In its favor
Why people choose ELAINE
The signal that keeps ELAINE on the shortlist. Sourced from G2, Capterra, and customer scoping calls.
Drag-and-drop marketing automation sequences let teams build reactivation, reminder, and follow-up mail sequences without developer involvement, saving significant manual outreach time.
Integrated contact list and target group management means subscriber segmentation is native to the platform rather than requiring a separate tool or manual exports.
GDPR-compliant subscriber data enrichment through the API enables teams to enrich records before targeting specific segments with compliant data.
Full email marketing range from simple newsletters to complex transactional and A/B-tested mail sequences is available within a single platform, reducing tool sprawl.
The breadth of modules and configuration options creates comprehensibility challenges—discovering and correctly applying features to specific use cases requires significant time investment.
Integration with messaging channels beyond email is limited and was described as difficult to implement in user reviews, constraining cross-channel marketing workflows.
Some users report feature limitations compared to expectations, particularly around flexibility in certain automation scenarios.

What gets migrated
ELAINE object support
Object-by-object support for ELAINE migrations. Per-pair details surface during scoping.
Contacts
Fully supportedContacts are the core subscriber records in ELAINE. We migrate them with their standard properties and custom fields, preserving enrichment data added via the API.
Target Groups
Mapping requiredTarget Groups are ELAINE's segmentation units. We preserve group memberships during migration but note that complex nested group hierarchies may require manual reconstruction at the destination.
Mail Sequences
Mapping requiredAutomated communication sequences are defined with trigger conditions, delays, and content variations. We extract the sequence logic and map it to equivalent automation constructs in the destination platform.
Email Campaigns
Fully supportedIndividual email sends including newsletters and transactional emails are migrated as discrete records with their content, send history, and performance metadata.
A/B Tests
Mapping requiredA/B test configurations with subject line, content, and send-time variants are extracted and mapped to destination equivalent testing features where available.
Custom Fields
Mapping requiredCustom properties on contacts and groups require field-level mapping during migration. We document the full custom field schema before migration to ensure no metadata is dropped.
Attachments
Fully supportedFiles attached to campaigns or contacts are downloaded and re-associated at the destination, preserving file names and linked records.
API Integrations
Mapping requiredAPI-based integrations that enrich subscriber data externally need to be re-established post-migration with updated endpoint configurations.

How a ELAINE migration works
Four steps, ELAINE-specific
Connect
Not publicly documented in detail; partner-gated via elaine.io. into ELAINE. Scopes limited to read-only on the data we move.
Map
We translate ELAINE-specific structures (custom fields, objects, value lists) to the destination's model.
Sample
Test with a 50–200 record subset to validate ELAINE quirks before production.
