# Switch from Lightfield to Migaru in four steps

> Export your accounts, contacts and opportunities, import each file in a minute or two, and connect your inbox. Migaru keeps the record from your conversations as you're used to, at a fixed price with no credits, and drafts every email for a person to send.

## The move at a glance

- **Four steps** from the first export to a connected inbox.
- **A minute or two** to import a file of tens of thousands of rows.
- **Two years** of email and meetings, read back from each mailbox.
- **Undo** any import from its history, if a column went to the wrong field.

## Lightfield to Migaru, step by step

1. **Export your records from Lightfield.** Export your accounts, contacts and opportunities from Lightfield, each table as a CSV file. Nothing connects to Lightfield, so nothing there changes while you move.
2. **Set up your stages and fields.** Name your deal stages exactly as your opportunity stages are named in Lightfield, and add a field for each custom field you want to keep. The importer maps onto fields that already exist, and a stage only comes across if Migaru has one spelled exactly the same way.
3. **Import each file.** Import accounts as accounts, contacts as contacts and opportunities as deals, up to 50,000 rows a file. Columns named like one of your fields map themselves, and where it can, Migaru suggests a field for the rest for you to check. Every import is logged and can be undone.
4. **Connect your mailbox and calendar.** Each person connects Gmail or Outlook along with its calendar, and Migaru reads back up to two years. Conversations land on the records you imported: contacts are matched on email address and accounts on the domain of their website, so https://www.acme.com and acme.com are the same account. Anything that still looks like a duplicate is flagged for you to merge.

### After the move, if you want

- **Add your call transcripts.** Drop in the transcripts your recorder exports, several at a time. Migaru files each one on the meeting it belongs to, making one when your calendar never had it, or on the account or contact when it can't be sure, and lists any it can't place for you to attach. It reads each one for commitments, unless the person who uploaded it keeps only who and when.
- **Rebuild the automations you still need.** Describe each rule in a sentence: what triggers it, the conditions, and what to do, such as set a field, create a task or notify someone. Migaru reads the rule back to you before it is created. Workflows come with Pro and above.

## What comes across from Lightfield

| In Lightfield | In Migaru |
| --- | --- |
| **Accounts** | Accounts. One already in Migaru with the same website is filled in rather than copied. |
| **Contacts** | Contacts. A company column links each to its company's account, made if there isn't one, and a contact already here with the same email address is filled in rather than copied. |
| **Opportunities** | Deals, each at the stage with the same name. Nothing identifies a deal, so import the file once, or undo the first run before a second. |
| **Email and meeting history** | Read again from each person's mailbox and calendar, up to two years back. |
| **Recordings** | Not imported. Drop in any transcript you can save as a file, and Migaru files it on its meeting. |
| **Sequences** | Rebuilt on Pro and above. They're email only, and draft each step for you to send. |
| **LinkedIn** | Not in Migaru, which captures nothing from LinkedIn. |

## What you gain by leaving Lightfield

### A bill that doesn't move

A fixed price, per user on Starter and one price for the whole workspace on Pro and Growth, with no credits, so the agent costs the same however much you ask of it.

### No bot on your calls

Migaru never joins a call. Keep the recorder you like, upload its transcripts, and each is filed on its meeting and read for promises.

### Nothing sent without a person

Every follow-up and sequence step is drafted into your own mailbox for you to send. Migaru's own code can't send email.

### Two years of history on day one

Each person's mailbox and calendar are read back two years when they connect, so the accounts you import arrive with their conversations.

## Frequently asked questions

### How long does it take to switch from Lightfield?

Four steps. Each import runs as soon as its columns are mapped, taking a minute or two for a file of tens of thousands of rows, and each person connects their mailbox and calendar in a couple of minutes. Reading two years of email and meetings carries on in the background, a batch every fifteen minutes, while you work.

### What happens to my Lightfield recordings?

They don't come across. Any transcript you can save as a file, as subtitles, text, Word or PDF, can be dropped in, several at a time, and Migaru files each on its meeting and turns what each side promised into tasks.

### Can we keep using Lightfield while we move?

Yes. Migaru never connects to Lightfield, so nothing there changes while your team moves across. There's no sync between the two either, so pick a day to stop entering data in Lightfield.

### Does our email history come across from Lightfield?

Not from Lightfield: Migaru reads it from the source instead. When each person connects Gmail or Outlook, up to two years of email and meetings are read back and filed on the records you imported.
