How to migrate your business from Podia to SystemeScale

SystemeScale offers a complete migration of your business free of charge if you subscribe to an Unlimited monthly plan or one of the annual plans.

This article explains what is usually involved when migrating a business from Podia to SystemeScale.

What is involved in a Podia migration?

Migrating a business from Podia to SystemeScale can involve sales funnel pages, blog pages and posts, courses, newsletters and campaigns, contact lists and tags, domain integration, email authentication, and student enrollment into courses.

1. Migration of sales funnel pages

Sales funnels are usually at the heart of a Podia business, so they are generally migrated first to make them available online quickly.

During this step, all pages are recreated in the most optimal way possible so the user experience remains familiar when switching from Podia to SystemeScale.

The migration specialist retrieves and reuses data from your Podia pages, including:

• Images
• Videos
• Audio files
• Titles
• Texts
• Buttons, visible layouts, sections, and page structure where possible

After the sales funnel pages are created, links between the pages are checked and tested to make sure they are fully functional.

2. Migration of blog pages and posts

If you have a blog on Podia, it can be reproduced in SystemeScale using the blog feature.

Websites are generally migrated through this section using the same technical approach used for sales funnel migration.

This can include blog pages, post layouts, post content, menus, images, and blog structure where applicable.

3. Migration of courses

Courses are a major part of many Podia businesses, so special attention is given to integrating them into the SystemeScale course platform.

Courses are imported individually and can include:

• Modules
• Lectures
• Quizzes
• Course content, text, files, videos, and structure where available

The SystemeScale course interface is simple and intuitive, so students should be able to navigate through their courses easily.

Once course migration is complete, the courses can be linked to their respective sales pages.

4. Migration of newsletters and campaigns

Each email can be recreated in SystemeScale as it currently appears in your Podia account, whether the emails are used for campaigns or newsletters.

The migration may take into account:

• Delays and deadlines
• Custom fields
• Email content, including links, buttons, text, and images

Automations for sending newsletters and campaigns to your customers or prospects can be created at the same time as the newsletters and campaigns are created.

After email content and sending logic are recreated, configurations are tested internally to make sure everything is in order.

5. Migration of contact lists and tags

Podia allows you to export your contacts. You can retrieve the file containing your contact list in Excel CSV format.

Importing your contact list into SystemeScale is generally fast and is usually completed toward the end of the migration.

Before importing your contact list, the list may be submitted to the deliverability team for review. Once approved, the contacts and their tags can be imported.

6. Integration and authentication of your domain name

When the migration is almost complete, the domain setup can be handled.

• Integrating your domain name: Your old Podia domain name or domain structure can be connected to SystemeScale so your URLs can be personalized and kept as close as possible to their previous structure.
• Authenticating your domain name: Email authentication records such as DKIM or SPF can be generated and configured to help improve email deliverability.

7. Adding students to courses

Once your contact list has been imported and your URLs are up to date with your domain name, students can be enrolled in the courses to which they have access.

Automation can be used to enroll students in a course depending on the tags assigned to their contact records.

Important migration reminders

• Migration is handled manually by the migration team.
• Your Podia content is recreated in SystemeScale as accurately as possible.
• Sales funnels are usually prioritized first because they are often the highest-impact assets.
• Newsletter and campaign sending automations can be created during the email migration process.
• Do not edit assets while the migration team is recreating them.
• Contact lists may be reviewed before import and sending.
• Review all migrated funnels, blogs, courses, emails, contact data, domain URLs, and course access before switching fully.
