# How to migrate my existing community to Commudle

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>*

## 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:
