| Costs to include | Website plan, AI capacity, sending volume, providers, and any paid extensions. | Selected plan, contacts, sending allowance, add-ons, and services such as your website that remain separate. |
On Cedros, prepare the landing page, form, audience, and email in the same workspace. Ask the assistant to draft from your approved offer details, then review the page and recipients before publishing or sending. Shared context helps the work stay consistent; permissions decide which steps the assistant can perform.
A deeply tuned ActiveCampaign journey is not something to discard for a shorter software list. Test the triggers, branching, scoring, and channels you rely on. Cedros is a compelling foundation when website publishing and customer follow-up matter as much as the automation builder.
Inventory your pages, contacts, consent records, lists, and active sequences. Confirm supported import formats and rebuild only the workflows you can verify in Cedros. Existing automation rules need to be mapped and rebuilt for the new platform.
Schedule a campaign, then follow up based on when someone opens or clicks an earlier email. Manage lists, consent, suppressed contacts, delivery reports, and replies in the same workspace. Sender setup and engagement tracking are required for these sequences. For purchase triggers, predictive segments, or SMS, confirm support for the specific journey before moving it.
For Cedros, include the website plan, traffic and storage capacity, AI usage, email volume, required extensions, and any charges from your own providers. For ActiveCampaign, include contacts, sending capacity, automation features, add-ons, and the website and services you keep.
