Switching from Madgicx to AdEspresso

AdEspresso imports active Facebook campaigns and those completed in the past three months when you connect the ad account. Madgicx rules are rebuilt by hand.

Bottom line up front: What do I give up moving from Madgicx to AdEspresso?

You give up Madgicx's AI Ad Generator, creative insights and Shopify, GA4 and Klaviyo reporting, and you get a flat $99 a month on AdEspresso Plus with unlimited spend.

That trade makes sense past about $10K a month of Meta spend, especially for heavy split-testers. The catch is the import: AdEspresso brings in active campaigns and those completed in the past three months, but you can only edit their scheduling, budgets and bidding, so split tests mean new campaigns. Don't rebuild your proven campaigns from scratch to get there. A new campaign starts Meta's delivery learning over, and so can a big budget jump on an imported one, which usually means a stretch of higher costs while it relearns. I'd leave the proven ones running, test in fresh campaigns beside them, and save One-Click Reports as PDF before cancelling, since Madgicx documents no raw-data CSV export.

    How the migration actually works

    AdEspresso lists no AI creative generation; keep another tool if you rely on Madgicx’s AI Ad Generator.

    StepWhat you do
    1List what the old tool doesWrite down every automation rule, alert, report and client dashboard you rely on, with its schedule.
    2Export from MadgicxDownload One-Click Reports as PDF and write down your automation tactics and audiences. No raw-data CSV export is documented.
    3Connect Facebook to AdEspressoStart the 14-day trial and connect your Facebook ad account; AdEspresso imports active campaigns and those completed in the past three months.
    4Rebuild rules and reportsRecreate optimization rules and scheduled PDF reports. Imported campaigns can only be edited for scheduling, budgets and bidding; build new ones in AdEspresso to use its split testing.
    5Switch automation overTurn off the old tool’s rules for each account before enabling the new ones, so bids and budgets are not changed twice.
    6Cancel the old planAfter a full reporting cycle in the new tool, cancel the old subscription and remove its access to your ad accounts.

    What this path doesn’t do for you:

    Madgicx AI creative, creative insights and Shopify, GA4 and Klaviyo reporting have no AdEspresso equivalent.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Can AdEspresso import from Madgicx?

    It imports campaigns from your Facebook ad account; Madgicx automations and reports are rebuilt by hand.

    Will I save money?

    Above about $10K of monthly Meta spend, yes: Plus is a flat $99 a month.

    Can I edit imported campaigns?

    Only scheduling, budgets and bidding.

    Will my ads stop while I switch?

    No. Your campaigns run in your Google or Meta ad accounts. Pause or turn off the old tool’s automation rules before the new tool’s rules go live, so two tools do not change the same campaigns.
