MIGRATE TO RECURPOST
Switching from another scheduler? Here's the migration checklist.
RecurPost imports the last 6 months of posted content from each connected social profile, so an agency migrating from Hootsuite, Buffer, Sprout Social, Agorapulse, or SocialPilot avoids three weeks of manual queue rebuild. Most agencies complete the migration on one weekend.
10-step migration checklist
- Export your scheduled queue from the current scheduler (if export is supported).
- Connect your social accounts to RecurPost using Client Connect (no password sharing).
- Use RecurPost’s content import to pull the last 6 months of posted content from each connected account.
- Re-sequence the imported posts into the RecurPost calendar.
- Recreate hashtag groups as Bags of Tags inside the composer.
- Set up your team workspaces, one per client brand or location.
- Configure the approval queue with the writer → reviewer roles.
- Set up white-label report cadence per client (logo, brand colors, cadence).
- Set up Instagram DM keyword automation triggers and CTA buttons.
- Test publishing on one workspace before migrating the rest.
Where to migrate from
RecurPost imports content from any platform you can connect via Client Connect. The migration path is the same whether you are switching from Hootsuite, Buffer, Sprout Social, Agorapulse, SocialPilot, Sendible, Loomly, Later, Metricool, Publer, or another scheduler.
The bulk of the time saving comes from RecurPost’s content import from existing social profiles. RecurPost pulls posted content directly from each connected social platform, so you do not need to re-type 6 months of content into a new tool. Read more about RecurPost’s scheduling workflow.
What to expect during migration
Day 1: Connect 1-2 client accounts to RecurPost using Client Connect. Test the import on one client. Verify the imported posts look right in the calendar.
Day 2: Migrate the rest of the client accounts in batches. Recreate hashtag groups, custom data fields, and workspace assignments. Configure white-label report cadences.
Week 1: Run both schedulers in parallel for the first week. Watch for any platform-specific edge cases (Google Business Profile post rejection-after-acceptance, Instagram first-comment timing, X Premium character limits).
Week 2: Cut over fully to RecurPost. Cancel the old scheduler subscription.
