Start here
Switching to 404 Emails, without surprises.
Here's exactly what you can bring with you and what you'll rebuild. No automatic magic - just a clear plan.
What you can bring
- Contacts from a CSV file: email, first and last name, tags
- Consent: you confirm where it came from, and we record it
- Your sending domain: add its records and send from the same address
- Your look: logo, colours and fonts go into your Brand Kit
What you rebuild
- Email designs: rebuilt in our builder (no HTML import)
- Automations: set up again from triggers and steps
- Signup forms: a new form, then swap the embed code on your site
- Past campaign reports: these stay in your old tool, so export them if you need them
Checklist
Moving, step by step.
The Help Center walks through each one in the app - start with importing contacts.

- 2Note where people's permission came from - you'll confirm it during the import
- 3Import the file in 404 Emails and check the preview
- 4Set up sending: quick start for now, or add your own domain's DNS records
- 5Rebuild your main email design in the builder and save it as a template
- 6Replace the signup form on your website with a 404 Emails form
- 7Recreate your welcome email as an automation
- 8Send yourself a test, then send your first campaign
Why people switch
Simpler, closer, European.
- Fewer moving parts. The features a small business uses, without the maze.
- A company you can reach. Support from the people who build it, in Czech or English.
- Data in the EU, with a DPA for every account and contracts under Czech law.
Switching questions
Can you import directly from Mailchimp or Brevo?
Not automatically. Both let you export contacts as a CSV file, which you then import here.
Will my unsubscribed contacts start getting emails?
Not if you leave them out of the file you import - so export only subscribed contacts. Anyone who unsubscribes or bounces in 404 Emails stays blocked here.
Can I keep my sending address?
Yes. Add your domain's DNS records in 404 Emails and send from the same address as before.
Can you help me move?
Ask us - get in touch and tell us what you're moving from.
