The four phases

01

Inventory

Export Copado pipeline graph, document quality gates and post-deploy hooks, identify active branches, note custom Copado metadata extensions.
02

Stand up FlowSprite in parallel

Fresh GitHub repo, connect FlowSprite to a dev sandbox, baseline your metadata onto main, verify the diff matches your Copado-hosted Git baseline.
03

Cut over

Freeze new Copado-driven work for 24-48h, replay in-flight changes through FlowSprite, reconnect QA/UAT/staging/prod, switch the team's daily flow.
04

Decommission

Run Copado in shadow for two weeks of clean operation. Cancel only after you've archived the Copado audit log — once access ends, historical compliance data is gone.

Gotchas worth flagging

  • Copado audit log: archive it before cancelling. Once access ends, you cannot pull historical compliance data.
  • Custom hooks: any post-deploy webhook actions need to be re-implemented as GitHub Actions or FlowSprite policies.
  • Branch strategy: Copado uses a complex branch model. FlowSprite assumes main + short-lived PR branches. Consolidate before cutover.
  • Custom Copado AI add-ons: if you used Copado AI, the prompts and settings don't port — but FlowSprite's native agent typically replaces them.

Questions teams ask before they switch

How long does the migration take?

Most teams cut over in a single afternoon for the technical work. Decommission of Copado happens 2-4 weeks later, after a confidence period.

Will my Salesforce data be at risk during migration?

No. The migration is at the operating-layer, not the data-layer. Your Salesforce metadata stays in your org. We baseline it into a fresh Git repo via the standard Metadata API.

Can I run both during the transition?

Yes — for the shadow period, both can be connected to your sandboxes. FlowSprite drafts new changes via PR; Copado deploys what was in flight.
