When Mailmodo may be the better fit
Every tool has strengths. Mailmodo could suit you better if:
- You want interactive AMP emails (forms, surveys, carts inside the email) without building them by hand
- You run a Shopify store and want ready-made abandoned-checkout and event-based journeys
- You want marketing and API-triggered transactional emails in one account
- You want built-in AI helpers for templates, subject lines, segments and campaign analysis
Move from Mailmodo to MailNesto
Most teams are sending from MailNesto within a day.
- 1
Export from Mailmodo
Contacts > Segments and lists tab > ⋮ on the list/segment > Export to CSV (file also emailed and kept in the Download Center). Limited-access users cannot download contacts.
- 2
Import into MailNesto
Contacts → Import: upload the CSV or Excel file (or paste it), map the columns, choose a list. Import only subscribed people, then paste unsubscribed, bounced and complained addresses into Audience → Suppression list so they never get email again.
- 3
Bring your designs
No template export documented; copy HTML from the editor. AMP content needs a non-AMP HTML fallback elsewhere. Then import the .html or .zip in Templates, or start from one of ours.
- 4
Authenticate your domain
Add the SPF, DKIM and DMARC records MailNesto shows you, then send a test. New senders ramp up gradually to protect your reputation.
- 5
Rebuild automations
Start from a recipe (welcome, birthday, win-back, abandoned cart) or build your own journey with branches and goals. Note: AMP emails require Google sender whitelisting and won't carry over to tools without AMP support. Journeys, custom events and dynamic blocks must be rebuilt.
