Overview
AgileCase organizes work around Cases—standalone records with custom fields, attachments, and timelines that don't have a direct Zoho CRM equivalent. Zoho CRM uses a Leads-Contacts-Accounts-Deals model where Deals (called Opportunities internally) carry the commercial relationship and Cases are typically recreated as custom modules or linked via lookup fields. We extract your AgileCase data via CSV export or REST API, map Cases to Zoho custom modules with lookup relationships back to Contacts and Accounts, translate custom field types (date pickers become Zoho Date fields, multi-selects become Zoho multi-select pick-lists), and resolve owner assignments by email match against Zoho users. Attachments re-upload to Zoho's Files storage. AgileCase automations (workflow rules, case plans, email templates) do not migrate—they must be rebuilt in Zoho Blueprint or Deluge scripts. Our migration runs against Zoho's Bulk API with 100-record batches, respecting your Zoho edition's API credit limits, and a 24-48 hour delta-pickup window captures any in-flight changes during cutover.
Every standard and custom field arrives verified.
AI proposes the map; you confirm before any record moves.
Parent–child, lookups, and ownership stay linked.
Calls, emails, meetings — with original timestamps.
Documents, uploads, and inline notes move with the record.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a AgileCase 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.
AgileCase
Contact
Zoho CRM
Contact
1:1AgileCase contacts map directly to Zoho Contacts. The primary phone, email, address fields carry over as-is. Owners resolve by email match against Zoho users. If a contact has no associated company in AgileCase, it lands as a standalone Zoho Contact without an AccountId lookup.
AgileCase
Company
Zoho CRM
Account
1:1AgileCase company records map to Zoho Accounts with direct field translation. The company name maps to Account Name, domain/website to Website, industry to Industry (with pick-list mapping per Zoho taxonomy), employee count to Employees, and annual revenue to Annual_Revenue. Parent-company hierarchies in AgileCase translate to Zoho's Parent Account lookup field, preserving organizational structure across the migration.
AgileCase
Case
Zoho CRM
Custom Module (Cases)
1:1AgileCase Cases have no direct Zoho CRM equivalent. We create a custom Cases module in Zoho CRM with API name Cases_CF, add all custom fields as custom fields on that module, and link each Case to its primary Contact and Account via lookup fields. Case status pick-list values map to Zoho pick-list values with value-by-value translation.
AgileCase
Case Activity
Zoho CRM
Tasks
1:1AgileCase activity log entries (calls, emails, notes) map to Zoho Tasks. The activity subject becomes Task Subject, original timestamp becomes the Task created date, and the owner email matches to the Zoho user. Task Type field captures the activity kind (Call, Email, Note).
AgileCase
Case Attachment
Zoho CRM
Attachments (Files)
1:1File attachments on AgileCase cases are downloaded from source and re-uploaded to Zoho CRM Files, attached to the corresponding Case record in the custom Cases_CF module. The original filename and attachment metadata are preserved during re-upload. Zoho's 25MB per-file size limit applies—any files exceeding this threshold are flagged in the migration report for manual handling by your team.
AgileCase
Custom Field (Text/Number/Date)
Zoho CRM
Custom Field
1:1AgileCase custom fields with type Text map to Zoho Single Line text fields. Number fields map to Zoho Number fields. Date fields map to Zoho Date fields preserving the original date value. Field-level validation rules in AgileCase do not transfer and must be recreated as Zoho field validation.
AgileCase
Custom Field (Pick-list)
Zoho CRM
Custom Field (Pick-list)
1:1AgileCase pick-list fields map to Zoho Pick-list custom fields with the same display values. If AgileCase uses values that conflict with Zoho's reserved pick-list options, we create a mapping table and transform values during migration. Multi-select pick-lists map to Zoho Multi-Select pick-lists.
AgileCase
Workflow / Automation
Zoho CRM
Not Migrated
1:1AgileCase automations (workflows, case plans, task scheduling rules) are not migrated. They require manual rebuild in Zoho Blueprint (Professional+ tiers) or Deluge scripts. We export AgileCase automation definitions as JSON and provide a rebuild reference guide for your Zoho administrator.
AgileCase
User / Owner
Zoho CRM
User
1:1AgileCase user records are matched to Zoho users by email address. If a Zoho user with matching email does not exist, the AgileCase owner is preserved as a custom Owner_Name field on the record and flagged for manual assignment. Zoho roles and profiles are not affected by migration.
AgileCase
Email Template
Zoho CRM
Not Migrated
1:1AgileCase email templates cannot migrate to Zoho CRM because Zoho uses its own templating syntax with different variable placeholders and formatting options. These templates must be recreated manually within Zoho's Email Templates section. FlitStack AI exports each template's body content, subject line, and variable references as a reference document to guide your Zoho administrator through the rebuild process.

Pair-specific challenges
Migration approach
Audit AgileCase schema and export data via API or CSV
We pull your AgileCase data using REST API calls (preferred) or CSV export fallback. We inventory all standard objects (Contacts, Companies), custom objects, custom fields with their types, and attachment URLs. We capture workflow definitions, email templates, and automation rules as JSON reference exports for the rebuild phase. A data quality report flags duplicate records, missing email addresses, and field-length violations that would fail Zoho's field validation rules.
Design Zoho CRM custom module and field schema
Before moving data, we create the Cases_CF custom module in Zoho CRM (or multiple custom modules if your AgileCase cases use distinct types). We add every AgileCase custom field as a Zoho custom field with the appropriate type (text, number, date, pick-list, multi-select). We configure pick-list values to match AgileCase's exact values and set up Contact and Account lookup fields on the Cases module. Layout assignments and field-level security are applied per Zoho profile.
Run sample migration with field-level diff
A representative slice of 50-200 records migrates first—spanning contacts, companies, cases, and activities. We generate a field-level diff showing every mapped field's source value and destination value side-by-side. You verify that custom field values transferred correctly, that Contact-to-Account lookups resolved, and that case status pick-list values rendered in Zoho as expected. Any mapping corrections are made before the full run commits.
Execute full migration with delta-pickup window
Full data migration runs against Zoho CRM using the Bulk Write API in 100-record batches. A 24-48 hour delta-pickup window opens simultaneously—any AgileCase records created or modified during the cutover window are captured and appended to Zoho. After delta-pickup closes, we generate a reconciliation report comparing record counts and field totals between source and destination. Audit log captures every insert operation, and one-click rollback reverts Zoho to its pre-migration state if reconciliation fails.
Deliver rebuild reference and post-migration handoff
We deliver AgileCase automation definitions formatted as a step-by-step Zoho Blueprint rebuild guide, complete with trigger-condition mappings and action equivalencies. Email template bodies and subject lines are exported as reference documents for manual recreation in Zoho's Email Templates section. A comprehensive field mapping spreadsheet documents every transformation rule for ongoing reference. Your Zoho administrator receives 30 days of post-migration support to address any data discrepancies surfacing in the first reporting cycle.
