# How to migrate my existing community to Commudle

When you have your developer community on another platform, it's easy to migrate the existing active members to Commudle. Let's see how.

Before migrating, we need to understand that not 100% members in your existing community ecosystem would be active. For most of generic community platforms, the number of active developers in their communities is under 30%. Which means, 70% members are inactive or haven't even viewed your community for a long time.  

## Step 1: Announce on the Community Description

Update the description of your community page mentioning the new migration link. The message can look like this.

*<mark style="color:yellow;">We are moving to a new platform! From now onwards all our activities will be on \[THIS LINK]</mark>*

*<mark style="color:yellow;">Please complete these steps:</mark>*

* *<mark style="color:yellow;">Join our community: \[LINK TO YOUR COMMUNITY PAGE]</mark>*
* *<mark style="color:yellow;">Complete your profile:</mark>* [*<mark style="color:yellow;">https://www.commudle.com/my-profile</mark>*](https://www.commudle.com/my-profile)
* *<mark style="color:yellow;">Introduce yourself: \[LINK TO #introduction CHANNEL]</mark>*

## Step 2: Announcement Email

* **Send an Email to all members**\
  Send an email to your community members sharing an update that you are moving to a new platform. A sample email can look like this:

*<mark style="color:yellow;">Subject: 🌟 We're upgrading, Join Our Enhanced Developer Community!</mark>*

*<mark style="color:yellow;">Dear \[Community Member],</mark>*

*<mark style="color:yellow;">We're thrilled to announce our community's migration to Commudle, a platform tailored for developer communities. This move brings exciting features like events, hackathons, channels, forums, page builders, and newsletters.</mark>*

*<mark style="color:yellow;">Commudle's ecosystem will boost our growth and engagement, providing easier access to tech updates, resources, and expert answers.</mark>*

*<mark style="color:yellow;">To transition smoothly:</mark>*

*<mark style="color:yellow;">\[Your Name]</mark>*\
*<mark style="color:yellow;">\[Community Leader]</mark>*

## Step 3: Send a Reminder Email

Sending a reminder to your members from the old platform is necessary for the ones who have not yet migrated or might have missed your last email.

A sample email can look like this:

*<mark style="color:yellow;">Subject: 🌟 We're upgrading, Join Our Enhanced Developer Community!</mark>*

*<mark style="color:yellow;">Dear \[Community Member],</mark>*

*<mark style="color:yellow;">In case you missed our last email, here is a final reminder!</mark>*

*<mark style="color:yellow;">We're thrilled to announce our community's migration to Commudle, a platform tailored for developer communities. This move brings exciting features like events, hackathons, channels, forums, page builders, and newsletters.</mark>*

*<mark style="color:yellow;">Commudle's ecosystem will boost our growth and engagement, providing easier access to tech updates, resources, and expert answers.</mark>*

*<mark style="color:yellow;">To transition smoothly:</mark>*

1. *<mark style="color:yellow;">Join our community: \[LINK TO YOUR COMMUNITY PAGE]</mark>*
2. *<mark style="color:yellow;">Complete your profile:</mark>* [*<mark style="color:yellow;">https://www.commudle.com/my-profile</mark>*](https://www.commudle.com/my-profile)
3. *<mark style="color:yellow;">Introduce yourself: \[LINK TO #introduction CHANNEL]</mark>*
