Overview
Actito and Zoho CRM have fundamentally different data architectures. Actito's central Profile record holds all contact attributes with linked Custom Tables and Entity-based partitioning, while Zoho CRM uses the standard Leads, Contacts, and Accounts model with custom modules. We resolve that structural difference during scoping by mapping Actito's Profile schema to Zoho Contacts (for active customer relationships) and Leads (for marketing-qualified records), preserving the original Entity name as a Zoho custom field for org-level segmentation. Actito's multi-channel campaign configurations (email, SMS, push, print, web) land in Zoho Campaigns as configuration records; channel sender setups, DKIM and SPF records, and DNS authentication require manual reconfiguration on Zoho's side. We do not migrate Actito Scenarios (workflow automation), Sequences, or Forms as code; we deliver a written inventory of every active Scenario with a Zoho equivalent recommendation for your admin to rebuild in Zoho Workflows or Deluge.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a Actito object lands in Zoho CRM, including any object-level transformations, lookup resolution, or schema-design dependencies.
Typical mapping — final map is confirmed during the sample migration step.
Actito
Profile
Zoho CRM
Contact or Lead (split required)
1:manyActito Profiles map to Zoho CRM Contact for records with an active customer relationship and to Lead for marketing-qualified or prospect records. We inspect the Profile's subscription status, last activity date, and any lifecycle stage attribute to determine the split routing. The original Actito Profile ID preserves in a custom field actito_profile_id__c for cross-reference. Entity partitioning in Actito maps to a custom picklist field actito_entity__c on the Zoho record so that org-level segmentation is preserved without requiring a separate Zoho Org.
Actito
Custom Table
Zoho CRM
Custom Module
1:1Actito Custom Tables linked to Profiles migrate to Zoho CRM custom modules created with the _C naming convention (e.g., Contracts_C, Subscriptions_C). We inspect the table schema during scoping, map field types to Zoho field equivalents (string to varchar, date to date, integer to bigint, boolean to checkbox), and pre-create the module and its lookup relationships before data import. Foreign-key references between Custom Tables resolve via Zoho lookup fields at migration time.
Actito
Entity
Zoho CRM
Custom Field (actito_entity__c)
lossyActito's entity-based licence partitioning maps to a Zoho CRM custom picklist field rather than a separate Zoho Org, unless the customer requires full data isolation between entities. We create the actito_entity__c picklist with the entity names from Actito, apply it to the Contact and Lead modules, and configure Zoho CRM data sharing rules to restrict record visibility by entity value.
Actito
Campaign (multi-channel)
Zoho CRM
Campaign
lossyActito campaign configurations (name, schedule, targeting criteria, channel references) migrate as Zoho CRM Campaign records with channel type and status preserved. The actual campaign content (email templates, SMS bodies, push copy) migrates as attachment records or Notes linked to the Campaign for the customer's marketing team to rebuild and activate. Active campaign send status cannot be preserved in Zoho because campaign execution state is platform-specific.
Actito
Scenario
Zoho CRM
Workflow (documentation only)
lossyActito Scenarios (event-triggered automation workflows) do not have a direct Zoho CRM equivalent because Scenarios use a different event model from Zoho Workflow Rules. We map scenario trigger conditions, branching rules, and action steps into a written inventory document with Zoho Workflow Rule and Deluge script equivalents. The customer's admin rebuilds the automation logic in Zoho using that document as the specification.
Actito
Channel Configuration (Email)
Zoho CRM
Email Channel Configuration
lossyActito email sender configurations (From name, From address, DKIM status, SPF record) migrate as a Zoho Email Channel setup with a flag to reconfigure DNS records (DKIM, SPF, return-path) on Zoho's mail infrastructure. We document the Actito sender settings during discovery and provide the Zoho DNS configuration values so the customer's IT team can complete the authentication before campaign send.
Actito
Channel Configuration (SMS)
Zoho CRM
SMS Provider Configuration
lossyActito SMS sender configurations and sender IDs migrate as Zoho SMS channel records. If Actito uses a specific SMS aggregator (e.g., Twilio, MessageBird), we document the provider and recommend the Zoho-native SMS integration or Deluge-based API connector to re-establish SMS send capability.
Actito
Subscription and Preferences
Zoho CRM
Contact Fields + Custom Fields
1:1Profile-level opt-in and preference data migrates to Zoho Contact as standard fields (HasOptedOutOfEmail, Do Not Call) and custom fields for Actito-specific preference attributes. Double opt-in status migrates to a custom field actito_double_optin__c. Channel-level consent flags (email, SMS, push) map to Zoho's corresponding opt-out fields with the logic inverted (Actito opt-in true becomes HasOptedOutOfEmail false).
Actito
Export Definition
Zoho CRM
Data Export (reference documentation)
1:1Actito ETL export job definitions (file naming patterns, scheduling, compression type) are documented as Zoho scheduled export configurations. We note the original Actito export schedules so the customer can recreate equivalent automated exports in Zoho Reports or via Deluge scheduled functions.
Actito
Webhook and ETL
Zoho CRM
Webhook (reference documentation)
lossyActito webhook subscriptions and ETL job definitions migrate as documentation records listing the webhook URL, event trigger, and payload structure. Since webhook target URLs and ETL credentials are destination-specific, we flag end-point changes required and provide the Zoho webhook registration format for the customer's admin to reconfigure post-migration.
Actito
Campaign Interaction Events
Zoho CRM
Not migrated
lossyInteraction events (opens, clicks, bounces, unsubscribes) generated by Actito's campaign execution platform are not available for programmatic export via the standard API. We do not migrate these records. We recommend exporting and archiving all Actito campaign reports before cutover for historical reference; post-migration campaign performance reporting references Zoho data only from the go-live date.
Actito
Goals and Web Tracking
Zoho CRM
Custom Fields + Analytics Configuration
1:1Actito web tracking goals and behavioral event definitions migrate as Zoho CRM custom field records and Analytics configuration notes. Goal names, trigger conditions, and associated profile attributes map to Zoho custom fields and Zoho Analytics (or Zoho Reports) goal configurations. Actual behavioral event history does not transfer because it is generated by Actito's tracking script.

Excel export row limitation conflicts with large dataset expectations
Zoho CRM gotchas
API access requires Professional tier or above
Subform fields do not export cleanly via CSV

Migration approach
Discovery and entity architecture decision
We audit the Actito licence across Profiles, Custom Tables, Entities, active Campaigns, active Scenarios, channel configurations, and export definitions. We assess the total profile count, custom table volume, and the number of distinct Actito entities. We present the entity-to-Org mapping decision (single Org with custom field segmentation versus multiple Org accounts) and confirm the split rule for routing Actito Profiles to Zoho Leads versus Contacts. The discovery output is a written migration scope document and an entity architecture recommendation.
Schema design and custom module creation
We design the Zoho CRM destination schema based on the entity architecture decision. This includes creating custom modules for Actito Custom Tables (with _C suffix), custom fields on Contact and Lead for Actito profile attributes and entity values, Zoho Campaign records for Actito campaign configurations, and Zoho Analytics configurations for Actito Goals and web tracking. Schema is deployed into a Zoho Sandbox or staging Org first for validation. We also prepare the DKIM and SPF configuration documentation for the customer's IT team.
API rate-limit aware data extraction
We extract Actito data using ETL export jobs (CSV with GZIP compression) for volume data (Profiles, Custom Table records) rather than looping API calls. For scenarios requiring REST API access, we implement chunked batch exports with 100-calls-per-minute pacing and rotate across the available API keys. We extract Profiles first, then Custom Tables, then Campaign configurations and Scenario documentation. Each export is decompressed, validated for row count and field presence, and staged in a migration workbench before transformation begins.
Transformation and sandbox migration
We apply the Profile-to-Lead-or-Contact split logic, map custom profile attributes to Zoho custom fields, resolve entity values to actito_entity__c, and apply the consent inversion for opt-out fields. Custom Table records are transformed to match the pre-created Zoho custom module schemas with lookup IDs resolved at transformation time. We run the full migration into a Zoho staging Org using production-like data volume. The customer's admin reconciles record counts, spot-checks 20-30 records against the Actito source, and signs off the mapping before production migration begins.
Campaign and Scenario documentation
Actito Campaign configurations (multi-channel metadata, targeting criteria, sender settings) are migrated as Zoho Campaign records with targeting criteria serialized into actito_targeting__c notes. Channel sender configurations are documented with the Zoho DNS values needed for reconfiguration. Actito Scenarios are documented in the handoff inventory with trigger descriptions, branching logic, action steps, and recommended Zoho Workflow or Deluge equivalents. We do not execute Scenario automation logic in Zoho during migration.
Production migration and cutover
We freeze writes in Actito during the cutover window, run a final delta migration for records modified during the migration period, then enable Zoho CRM as the system of record. We deliver the Scenario handoff inventory, the Campaign DNS reconfiguration guide, and the ETL export schedule for the customer's IT team to complete post-migration. We support a five-business-day hypercare window to resolve reconciliation issues. We do not rebuild Scenarios as Zoho Workflows inside the migration scope; that is a separate engagement for the customer's admin or a Zoho implementation partner.
