Agorapulse users switch to PostQued for several reasons. The most common is TikTok support. Agorapulse lacks native TikTok API integration, forcing teams to manage TikTok separately. PostQued offers TikTok scheduling from day one. Other reasons include Agorapulse's complex pricing tiers, dated interface, and slow customer support response times.
Pre-Migration Assessment (Critical First Step)
Scannable Checklist: Complete this inventory before starting your migration.
Semantic Keywords: social media tool migration, data export, account transfer, workflow migration
Before touching any accounts, understand what you are migrating. This prevents surprises mid-process.
Inventory Your Agorapulse Setup
Document these elements:
- Social profiles connected (count and platforms)
- Scheduled posts in queue (next 30-60 days)
- Content calendars and campaigns
- Team members and permission levels
- Active approval workflows
- Saved replies and inbox templates
- Custom reports and labels
- Third-party integrations (Canva, Bitly, etc.)
- Client access levels and dashboards
This inventory becomes your migration checklist.
Identify Migration Complexity
Simple migrations involve few accounts and minimal scheduled content. Complex migrations include:
- 10+ social profiles
- Hundreds of scheduled posts
- Multiple team members with varying permissions
- Custom workflows and automations
- Active client dashboards
- Extensive historical data needs
Simple migrations complete in hours. Complex ones need days. Set expectations accordingly.
Choose Migration Timing
Avoid migrating during:
- Active campaign launches
- Major product announcements
- Holiday seasons
- Month-end or quarter-end reporting
- Team vacations or understaffed periods
Tuesday through Thursday provide buffer days for troubleshooting.
Phase 1: PostQued Account Preparation
Create Your PostQued Account
Sign up with your business email. Choose the plan matching your team size. Start with a trial if you want to test before committing.
Configure Agency Settings
Set up your organization profile:
- Upload company logo
- Set default timezone
- Configure notification preferences
- Add billing information
- Review privacy settings
Understand PostQued Architecture
Agorapulse organizes by social profiles within a single account. PostQued uses workspaces. Key differences:
| Agorapulse | PostQued |
|---|---|
| Profiles grouped in account | Workspaces isolated by client |
| Shared content calendar | Separate calendars per workspace |
| Universal team permissions | Workspace-specific permissions |
| One inbox for all profiles | Workspace-specific conversations |
Workspaces provide cleaner client separation. Each client gets dedicated space with isolated data.
Create Client Workspaces
For each Agorapulse profile or group, create a PostQued workspace:
- Click "New Workspace"
- Name it clearly (client name or brand)
- Set workspace timezone
- Configure workspace-specific settings
- Note workspace ID for documentation
Create workspaces before connecting accounts. This organizational step prevents confusion later.
Phase 2: Social Account Migration
Export Account List from Agorapulse
Document every connected profile:
- Platform (Instagram, Facebook, etc.)
- Profile name/handle
- Connection status
- Permission level (admin, editor, etc.)
- Associated labels or groups
Disconnect from Agorapulse
Before connecting to PostQued, remove accounts from Agorapulse:
- Go to Settings > Social Profiles
- Select profile to disconnect
- Click "Disconnect"
- Confirm disconnection
- Repeat for all profiles
Disconnection prevents API conflicts and token errors.
Connect Accounts to PostQued
PostQued's connection process is faster than Agorapulse:
- Enter client workspace
- Click "Connect Account"
- Choose platform
- Authenticate with platform credentials
- Grant PostQued permissions
- Verify successful connection
Platform-Specific Notes
Instagram: Business accounts require Facebook Business Manager admin access. Personal accounts use different API. Know which type you have before connecting.
TikTok: This is likely your first TikTok scheduling capability. The connection enables draft scheduling. Drafts appear in the TikTok mobile app for final review before publishing.
Facebook: Page admin status required. PostQued cannot publish to personal profiles, only pages.
LinkedIn: Personal profiles and company pages connect separately. Company pages need admin privileges.
Twitter: Standard OAuth. Ensure you are logged into the correct account before authorizing.
Verify Connections
Test each connection immediately:
- Schedule test post 10 minutes out
- Verify post publishes correctly
- Check that analytics populate
- Confirm two-way sync works
Fix connection issues before proceeding to content migration.
Phase 3: Content Calendar Migration
Export Scheduled Content from Agorapulse
Agorapulse allows content export:
- Go to Publishing Calendar
- Select date range (next 90 days recommended)
- Export as CSV
- Include: content text, scheduled date/time, platform, media URLs, labels
Export by profile if managing multiple clients.
Format Content for PostQued
PostQued accepts CSV bulk uploads. Prepare your export:
- Standardize date formats (YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS)
- Download media files locally (Agorapulse URLs expire)
- Clean up text formatting
- Map Agorapulse labels to PostQued categories
- Create separate CSV files per workspace
Bulk Upload to PostQued
Use PostQued's bulk import feature:
- Navigate to workspace Content Calendar
- Click "Bulk Upload"
- Upload CSV file
- Map columns to PostQued fields
- Review preview
- Process upload
Bulk upload handles text, scheduling, and platform selection. Media requires manual attachment.
Manual Transfer Alternative
For smaller volumes, manual recreation works:
- Open Agorapulse calendar
- Open PostQued calendar side-by-side
- Recreate each post
- Copy text, upload media, set schedule
- Mark Agorapulse post as migrated
Manual transfer takes longer but ensures accuracy for critical posts.
Migrate Media Assets
Download your Agorapulse media library:
- Access Media Library
- Select all relevant assets
- Download to organized local folders
- Upload to PostQued workspace media libraries
- Recreate folder structure if desired
PostQued's media library supports folders for organization.
Phase 4: Team and Workflow Migration
Map Agorapulse Roles to PostQued
| Agorapulse Role | PostQued Equivalent |
|---|---|
| Admin | Workspace Admin |
| Manager | Workspace Editor |
| Moderator | Workspace Editor |
| Guest | Workspace Viewer |
PostQued permissions are workspace-specific. Team members can have different access levels across workspaces.
Invite Team Members
Add team members to appropriate workspaces:
- Go to workspace Settings
- Click "Team Members"
- Invite by email
- Assign role (Admin, Editor, Viewer)
- Set notification preferences
Team members receive invitations via email. They create PostQued accounts or join with existing credentials.
Recreate Approval Workflows
Agorapulse offers flexible approval workflows. PostQued keeps approvals simple:
- Agorapulse multi-step approvals = PostQued single approval level
- Agorapulse conditional logic = Manual process
- Agorapulse approval groups = Individual approvers in PostQued
Configure per workspace:
- Workspace Settings > Approval Workflow
- Enable approvals
- Assign approvers
- Set default requirements
Most teams find PostQued's simpler approvals faster and less bureaucratic.
Migrate Saved Replies and Templates
Agorapulse inbox templates do not transfer automatically. Recreate in PostQued:
- Document all saved replies from Agorapulse
- Create equivalent templates in PostQued
- Organize by category or use case
- Train team on new template locations
PostQued's saved replies work across workspace conversations.
Phase 5: Inbox and Engagement Migration
Understand the Inbox Difference
Agorapulse provides a unified inbox across all profiles. PostQued organizes conversations by workspace.
| Feature | Agorapulse | PostQued |
|---|---|---|
| Unified inbox | Yes, all profiles | Per workspace |
| Conversation assignment | Yes | Yes |
| Saved replies | Yes | Yes |
| Labels/tags | Yes | Categories |
| Automation rules | Yes | Limited |
Workspace-specific inboxes provide cleaner client separation but require switching workspaces to view different client conversations.
Set Up Inbox Monitoring
Configure notification preferences:
- Go to workspace Settings
- Select Notifications
- Choose inbox alert frequency
- Set mention tracking preferences
- Configure mobile push notifications
Migrate Active Conversations
Active conversations in Agorapulse do not transfer to PostQued. Handle transition carefully:
- Complete urgent conversations in Agorapulse before switching
- Document conversation context for ongoing threads
- Respond to new messages in PostQued after migration
- Consider a brief overlap period for critical accounts
Most teams find the transition smooth because social conversations are typically short-lived.
Phase 6: Reporting Migration
White-Label Report Setup
PostQued offers white-label reporting comparable to Agorapulse:
- Upload client logos per workspace
- Set brand colors
- Configure report templates
- Set default date ranges
- Schedule automated delivery
Recreate Key Reports
Identify your most-used Agorapulse reports and recreate them:
- Engagement reports
- Growth tracking
- Content performance
- Team productivity
- Competitor analysis (if applicable)
PostQued reports load faster and look more modern than Agorapulse's dated interface.
Set Reporting Cadence
Reestablish your reporting schedule:
- Weekly performance summaries
- Monthly comprehensive reports
- Quarterly strategic reviews
- Campaign-specific analysis
Calendar reminders ensure consistent client communication.
Phase 7: Integration Migration
Canva Connection
Both platforms integrate with Canva:
- Disconnect Canva from Agorapulse
- Connect Canva to PostQued
- Verify design access
- Update team workflows
PostQued's Canva integration supports direct import. Workflow is similar to Agorapulse.
URL Shorteners
If you used Bitly or other shorteners:
- Check PostQued's built-in link shortening
- Connect external shortener if preferred
- Update link generation workflows
PostQued includes basic link shortening. External integrations available for advanced needs.
Zapier and API
Rebuild any Agorapulse Zapier automations:
- Document existing zaps
- Create PostQued equivalents
- Test thoroughly

PostQued's comprehensive API offers more flexibility than Agorapulse for custom integrations.
Phase 8: Team Training and Validation
