Miro Board Import

Import Miro boards into Bizby

Shapes, connectors, frames, images, embeds and styling all come across. Every run is logged, and anything that cannot be converted is listed before you commit to the import.

Before: in Miro

After: imported into Bizby, untouched

Overview

Bizby now supports importing boards directly from Miro. The import preserves your board layout, shapes, sticky notes, connectors, frames, images, and styling — so you can migrate existing work into Bizby without starting from scratch.

What Gets Imported

Fully Supported

• Sticky Notes — Colors, text content, and positioning
• Shapes — Rectangles, ellipses, triangles, diamonds, stars with fill colors, borders, and text
• Text Objects — Standalone text with font sizing and alignment
• Frames — Container frames with titles and child relationships
• Images — Full-resolution image assets
• Embeds — Embedded content and bookmarks
• Connectors — Arrows and lines with:
  • Edge-accurate connection points (top, bottom, left, right)
  • Line styles (solid, dashed, dotted)
  • Line colors and thickness
  • Arrowhead types
  • Elbow, curved, and straight routing
  • Label text

Converted to Bizby Features

• Dot Voting Panels — Imported with correct dot positioning, voter colors, and binding to parent shapes (v1.9.9)
• Widget Stacks — Detected from API order and imported with inferred sizing from child notes (v1.9.9)
• Checklists (doc_format) — Converted to Bizby Documents with interactive task list checkboxes, preserving checked/unchecked state (v1.9.9)

Shown as Placeholders

Cards, mindmap nodes, and kanban cards appear as placeholder rectangles to preserve layout positioning. Miro documents show a placeholder with a hint to use Bizby’s built-in PDF import.

Not Supported

• Tables — Miro’s API does not currently expose table cell content. Tables appear as a placeholder rectangle showing where the table was positioned. If you need the table content in Bizby, copy the cell contents into sticky notes or text boxes on the Miro board before importing.

Prerequisites

The Miro to Bizby Import app must be installed on your Miro team before importing. This grants Bizby read-only access to your boards.

Why Installation is Required

Miro uses a team-based app installation model where apps must be explicitly installed to your Miro workspace before team members can use them. This is different from Mural’s simpler OAuth-only flow.

Team Installation

Installing the app requires Miro team admin permissions. If you’re not an admin, ask your Miro team admin to approve or install the app. Once installed for the team, all team members can use the import feature — no individual setup needed.

How to Import

1. Open a Bizby board and click the board settings hamburger menu then select Import from, then Miro board…

2. If this is your first import, you’ll be prompted to sign in with Miro via OAuth
3. Browse your Miro boards and select one to import
4. Review the item count and click Import
5. Bizby will fetch all items and connectors, then place them on your board
6. The view will automatically zoom to fit the imported content

Large Boards

For boards with many items, the import may take a few moments. A progress indicator shows the current status as items are fetched and converted.

Connector Edge Detection

Connectors imported from Miro preserve their exact connection points. If a connector is attached to the right edge of a shape in Miro, it will attach to the right edge in Bizby — not just the center.

This applies to all edge positions: top, bottom, left, right, and custom positions along shape edges.

Color & Style Mapping

Miro’s color palette is mapped to Bizby’s closest matching colors. Line styles (solid, dashed, dotted), line thickness, and arrowhead types are preserved during import.

Color Approximation

Bizby uses a named color palette (black, red, blue, green, etc.), so Miro hex colors are mapped to the nearest match. Most colors translate accurately.

Tips for Best Results

Before Importing

• Import into a new board to keep your existing content separate
• Large Miro boards with hundreds of items will import successfully but may take longer
• After import, you can rearrange and edit everything just like native Bizby content
