Switching tools is mostly a data move plus a rebuild of sequence structure.
What comes across cleanly
Prospect lists. Every major tool exports to CSV. Export from your current tool, then import the CSV. Keep the LinkedIn profile URL column, that is the one that matters.
Message copy. Paste your existing openers and follow-ups into the sequence builder. Variable syntax differs between tools, so check for leftovers like {first_name} or %FIRSTNAME% and replace them with Doreach’s {{first_name}}.
Do-not-contact lists. Doreach has no blacklist feature yet, so keep your suppression list outside the product and filter it out of any CSV before you import. This is the step people forget, and it is the one with real consequences.
What has to be rebuilt
Sequence structure. Every tool models steps, delays and conditions differently, so there is no clean import path. In practice rebuilding a campaign takes about ten minutes once the copy is pasted.
Analytics history. Past performance stays in your old tool. Export any reporting you need before cancelling.
Lower the limits before you start
An account that has been automated elsewhere is still a newly connected account here, and Doreach does not ramp it for you. Set its weekly limits well below the defaults for the first two to three weeks. A change in sending pattern is itself a signal to LinkedIn.
Suggested order
- Connect one account in Doreach and set its weekly limits low.
- Filter your do-not-contact list out of the CSV.
- Import prospects.
- Rebuild your best-performing campaign only, and launch it.
- Let the old tool finish its in-flight sequences, then stop it.
- Move the rest across once you are happy.
Running both tools against the same LinkedIn account at once is the one thing to avoid. The combined volume will exceed what either tool thinks it is sending.
