Migration

Switching from Zixflow?
Six steps, one afternoon.

Many teams keep a messaging engine for OTPs and move marketing to HexaFloww. Moving the marketing side is mostly contacts, templates and your number.

    Export your contacts

    Export contacts and opt-in status from Zixflow as a CSV.

    Import opt-outs to HexaFloww’s suppression list so they’re never messaged.

  3. 03

    Import and map fields

    Import the CSV and map each column to a contact field.

  4. 04

    Use a separate WhatsApp number for marketing, or disconnect your current one from Zixflow and connect it to HexaFloww.
