Switching tools feels risky when your whole creator program lives in the old one. This article walks through what actually moves, what does not need to, and how a migration runs without your outreach going dark.
Quick answer
To migrate to Hubfluence, connect your TikTok Shop so creator relationships and GMV sync automatically, then import your existing creator list by CSV to rebuild your rosters as Smart Lists. Your live affiliate relationships and their sales history live in TikTok Shop, not the old tool, so they carry over the moment you connect. On the Agency plan, Hubfluence handles a white-glove migration for you. Most brands are running outreach again the same day.
What actually moves when you switch?
The thing brands worry about losing is their creator relationships, and those do not live in the tool you are leaving. Your active affiliate partnerships, commission arrangements, and per-creator sales history live in TikTok Shop itself. The moment you connect your shop to Hubfluence, those relationships and their GMV sync in, so nothing is lost in the move.
What you bring over from the old tool is your working data: the list of creators you were targeting, your outreach templates, and any notes or tags you kept. That comes across by CSV import or by rebuilding it inside Hubfluence, which is usually faster than it sounds because the creator database already has the profiles.
How the migration runs, step by step
Connect TikTok Shop. This is the 90-second official auth flow. Your existing creators, partnerships, and GMV history sync in automatically.
Import your creator list. Export your target and active creators from the old tool as a CSV and import them, or rebuild your rosters as Smart Lists straight from AI Creator Search and the Creator Database.
Recreate your outreach templates. Drop your best-performing messages into Hubfluence's sequence builder with merge fields, so personalization carries over.
Turn on your first sequence. Point a sequence at a Smart List and launch. Outreach picks up where it left off, paced inside TikTok Shop's invite limits.
Will my outreach go dark during the switch?
No. Because the creator relationships live in TikTok Shop and sync the moment you connect, there is no gap where your program stops. You can keep the old tool running for a day or two while you set up, then cut over once your first Hubfluence sequence is live. Nothing about the switch pauses your affiliates or resets their commission terms, since those are set in TikTok Shop, not in any third-party tool.
Do you help with the migration?
Yes. On the Agency plan, Hubfluence includes white-glove migration: our team helps move your rosters, rebuild your sequences, and set up Multi-Shop Management so every client shop lands in one place. On other plans, the CSV import plus the built-in creator database make a self-serve migration quick, and our team is in Discord if you hit a snag.
