Migrate from Kajabi

Bring your Kajabi contacts as students with a CSV and rebuild your products in Acatudy: one subject per product, one unit per module, your videos and files uploaded or linked. A step-by-step plan, and why there is no automatic course import from Kajabi.

In this guide

  • Export your Kajabi contacts and import them as students.
  • Plan the structure: products, modules and lessons in Acatudy.
  • Move videos, files and quizzes.
  • Why Kajabi courses can't be imported automatically (yet).

Kajabi doesn't export the content of your products, and its public API (available on the Pro plan) lists courses, modules and lessons but doesn't document how lessons are grouped into modules or give access to the lessons themselves. Rather than guess and build a course in the wrong order, Acatudy imports your students from Kajabi's CSV and you rebuild the content with the plan below.

1. Export your contacts from Kajabi

  1. Export the contacts

    In Kajabi, go to Contacts, select the people you want (for example, filter by the product they bought) and choose Bulk Actions → Export. Kajabi emails you the CSV.

  2. Import them in Acatudy

    Open Users → Import students (or Import → Students) and upload the CSV. Acatudy recognizes name and email columns; you can change any column in the preview.

  3. Review and import

    The preview shows who is new, who is already a student, invalid emails and your plan's limits. Nobody gets a made-up password: new students create their own with a link, and anyone who already has an account in another Acatudy academy receives an invitation without their account being changed. See Add and manage students.

2. Plan the structure

In KajabiIn Acatudy (LMS mode)
Product (course)A subject. Assign it to an academic course if only some students should see it.
Module (category)A unit, in the same order.
Lesson with a videoA course video in the unit (uploaded) or a link resource (YouTube, Vimeo…).
Lesson with textThe unit description, or a document resource.
DownloadsFile resources (PDF, Word, PowerPoint, images…).
Quiz or assessmentA practice test or an exam with questions from the bank.
Offer and pricePaid access with Stripe, if you sell the course.

Create the subject and its units first (see Create subjects and content), then fill each unit while you have the Kajabi lesson open next to it.

3. Move videos, files and quizzes

  • Videos: download them from Kajabi or from the host you use, and upload them to each unit. Acatudy optimizes them for streaming; see Upload and compress videos. If they're on YouTube or Vimeo, add them as links.
  • Files: upload your PDFs and documents as resources of their unit.
  • Quizzes: write the questions in a spreadsheet (question, options, correct answer) and bring them in one go with Import questions (CSV), then build the practice test or exam.

4. Check before telling your students

  • Open the subject as a student would and check the order of units and that every video plays.
  • If you sell access, set up payments before inviting buyers, so the right people have access.
  • Send your students the academy address or the welcome email from the student importer.

What isn't imported

  • Products, lessons, quizzes and community posts: Kajabi doesn't export them.
  • Student progress, completion, grades and certificates.
  • Offers, prices, coupons, email sequences and website pages.

Why there is no "Connect via API" for Kajabi

Acatudy only imports through an API when the platform documents what it returns. For Thinkific, Teachable and LearnWorlds it does (see Migrate from other platforms). Kajabi's public API exposes courses, modules and lessons, but its documentation doesn't say how they relate to each other or include the lesson content, so an automatic import would risk putting lessons in the wrong module. We'll add it if Kajabi documents it.
