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 your sandboxes and production, 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.
