Automatically Import Your Practice.do Data
Yesterday, November 3rd, Practice.do closed its doors for good, abruptly locking out all users from their accounts.
It was about two weeks earlier that folks logged into their Practice.do accounts were greeted with this banner at the top:
Red is nature’s danger color!
So if you were a Practice customer, you are probably looking for an alternative platform for managing your coaching. CoachAccountable might be a fitting new home for you.
And if you did manage to export your data prior to that final shut down, you might have a very elegant transition indeed!
CoachAccountable can take the ZIP file you got from Practice and automatically import its contents in seconds. This includes:
- Clients
- Families (as Companies)
- Package Templates (as Engagement Templates)
- Package Instances (as Engagements)
- Appointments
- Client Notes
- Client Worksheets
- Client Files
- Library Files
- Worksheet Templates
- Invoices
- Payment Cards (from Stripe, when you’ve connected the same Stripe account)
And you can do this all on your own, no need to email us and wait to hear back, no need to make any sort of pre-paid commitment. You can grab an account, run the export, and see how your business could look within CoachAccountable with no waiting involved.
You’ll find the friendly prompt to do this when logged in, under your My Account >> Import Data area.
Just choose that ZIP file from practice and you’re on your way.
After clicking the “Upload it!” button, you’ll be presented with a summary of what CA found that is ready for importing, like so:
Choices, choices!
From there, choose which types of items you wish to import and you’ll be on your way.
In seconds.
There are a few limitations (for example, the Practice.do export file simply doesn’t contain key information for e.g. multiple choice questions, meaning those will have to be manually typed back in), but all in all, it’s a GREAT head start on getting your existing setup from Practice.do all ready to go in a new platform.
My heart goes out to everyone who was left in a lurch amid the Practice.do shut down. Again, if you’re looking for a Practice.do alternative, grab a CoachAccountable account and give that import a whirl, and see how quickly you might once again be all set to continue on.
Update: For the next few days, we’re offering live sessions to acquaint yourself CoachAccountable and explore how it stacks up as a Practice.do alternative.
No pitch. No pressure. Just help getting you re-grounded and back to doing what you love…coaching.
If you’re feeling at all stuck, we’ve got you covered.
