How to migrate
There is no automatic importer. Recreate only the triggers and replies Replio supports; branching flows, contacts and history do not transfer automatically.
- In Chatfuel, list the posts, trigger keywords, messages, public replies and links you want to keep.
- Connect Instagram in Replio, recreate a supported rule and save it without turning it on. Review all enabled options.
- Use the saved rule’s test run with sample comments. Check matches, reply variants and the preview; simulation does not prove live delivery.
- Pause the overlapping automation in Chatfuel before activating Replio. Check delivery history after a controlled test comment; avoid two tools replying to the same trigger.

- Can I test Replio before switching?
