Importing your archives (newsletters)

info

MailerLite newsletters are the same as Buttondown archives.

According to MailerLite (as of November 2021): Newsletters “have to be downloaded as individual PDFs”

You can save or print your newsletters (one at a time) as PDFs here. Email me and I’ll help you with importing those PDFs.

You did it!

Once you finish all of the above steps, Buttondown will kick off an audit and migration process to make sure everything is in order. Then you should be safe to disable or deactivate your MailerLite account.

By the way

With Buttondown, it’s easy to export all your data:
