Migrate your Symplify Communication data
Email marketing and marketing automation platform built for enterprise ecommerce, entertainment and gaming brands that prioritizes simplicity over complexity.
In its favor
Why people choose Symplify Communication
The signal that keeps Symplify Communication on the shortlist. Sourced from G2, Capterra, and customer scoping calls.
Vertical fit for entertainment, iGaming and e-commerce — 600+ global customers in those segments rely on Symplify's specialised messaging and segmentation patterns.
Easy-to-use journey builder lets marketing teams design behaviour-triggered communication flows across email, SMS, app push and dynamic web without engineering involvement.
Reviewers consistently cite uplift in engagement (one reports a 10% open-rate increase versus their previous marketing automation tool) attributable to deep segmentation and personalisation.
DataDocs concept lets customers link arbitrary relational data (purchases, events, bookings) to a contact's originalId, enabling sophisticated triggers without a separate data warehouse.
Role-based access controls and security posture are praised by enterprise reviewers as suitable for regulated marketing teams (iGaming compliance, etc.).
Automation capabilities are described as less advanced than larger competitors — complex multi-step orchestration sometimes hits feature ceilings.
Reporting and analytics modules have limited customisation; reviewers turn to external BI for the analyses they want.
Message template customisation is criticised as basic, hindering consistent brand identity across complex creative needs.
Segmentation builder occasionally crashes on very advanced calculations, frustrating power users.
Native video support in newsletters is missing — a notable gap for brands whose campaign creative leans on video assets.

What gets migrated
Symplify Communication object support
Object-by-object support for Symplify Communication migrations. Per-pair details surface during scoping.
Contacts
Fully supportedContacts are the primary identity object in Symplify. Every contact has a unique originalId used to link DataDocs. We export all standard contact fields via the REST API and land them 1:1 in the destination CRM. Custom fields are preserved as-is.
DataDocs
Mapping requiredDataDocs store relational data (purchase history, events, bookings) linked to contacts by originalId. Document Types must be mapped individually since each type defines its own mandatory fields (originalId, externalId) and optional JSON Schema. We preserve type-to-contact linkage during migration.
Lists
Fully supportedLists are static contact groupings. We export list membership and recreate list structures in the destination platform, mapping list names and segment rules directly.
Campaigns
Fully supportedCampaigns represent email/messaging sendouts. We export campaign metadata (name, send date, channel) and all associated statistical records (opens, clicks, bounces). Campaign-level metrics are preserved as linked objects.
Messages
Fully supportedMessages are the individual communication pieces within a campaign. We export message content, send timestamps, and message-level stats. If the destination uses a different campaign/message hierarchy, we flatten or restructure based on the target schema.
Opens
Fully supportedOpen events are tracked per-message with timestamp. We export open records and associate them with the correct Contact and Message in the destination to preserve engagement history.
Sents
Fully supportedSent records track every dispatch per contact per message. We export all sent events with timestamps and delivery status, preserving the complete send log for audit and reporting purposes.
Clicks
Fully supportedClick events track URL-level engagement within messages. We export click records with timestamps and associate them with the correct Contact and Message in the destination platform.
Hard Bounces
Fully supportedHard bounce records mark permanently undeliverable contacts. We export hard bounce status by contact and flag those records in the destination to prevent re-sending and protect deliverability metrics.
Soft Bounces
Mapping requiredSoft bounce records indicate temporary delivery failures. We export soft bounce events and may need to normalize bounce codes between Symplify and the destination system, as handling rules vary by platform.
Optouts
Fully supportedOptout records track unsubscribe preferences. We export all optout events with timestamps and apply suppression flags in the destination to ensure compliance with unsubscribe requests.
Projects
Mapping requiredProjects are Symplify's organizational containers for campaigns and workflows. We export project structure and map it to the destination's equivalent (folder, workspace, or program). Some platforms do not have a direct equivalent and may require flattening.
