How to Request a Migration from DeployBot to DeployHQ

DeployBot is now part of DeployHQ! This guide will walk you through the migration request process using our automated Migration Wizard, which streamlines the transition to DeployHQ's enhanced platform.

Overview

The Migration Wizard is a 4-step process that helps you transition from DeployBot to DeployHQ with minimal disruption. Most of your configurations will be migrated automatically, and our support team will guide you through any manual setup required.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Can I still use my DeployBot account during migration?

Yes! You can continue using your DeployBot account without any interruptions until you're ready to make the full switch to DeployHQ.

Will I be billed on both platforms?

During the migration process, you'll only be billed for your active DeployBot account. Once migration is complete and confirmed, you can cancel your DeployBot subscription, and your DeployHQ account becomes your active billing account.

What if I need help?

You can contact our support team at any time during the migration process by clicking "Need Support?" in the wizard or emailing support@deploybot.com.

Can I pause and resume the migration?

Yes, the Migration Wizard allows you to pause and resume at any time. Your progress is saved as you complete each step.
