Overview
Moving from APSIS One to Odoo CRM is a cross-domain migration: APSIS One is a marketing automation and customer data platform centered on Profiles, Segments, and behavioral Events, while Odoo CRM is a sales-oriented CRM module within a full ERP suite that models Leads, Contacts, Accounts, and Opportunities. There is no direct object-level equivalent for every APSIS One entity, so we begin with a structural mapping decision for each Profile — whether it routes to a Lead (unqualified prospect) or Contact tied to an Account (qualified buyer) — before any data moves. We preserve Tags as Odoo CRM tags and Segments as static CRM groups or tags depending on the destination edition. APSIS One Event histories (email opens, page views, form submissions) migrate as Odoo CRM Activities (Tasks, Meetings, Calls) with timestamps preserved for pipeline analysis. Automation Flows built in the APSIS One Marketing Automation Canvas have no public API export; we document each flow's structure and deliver a written rebuild plan for Odoo's workflow engine. Consent records migrate as opt-in flags on the corresponding Contact or Lead.
Every standard and custom field arrives verified.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a APSIS One object lands in Odoo CRM, including any object-level transformations, lookup resolution, or schema-design dependencies.
Typical mapping — final map is confirmed during the sample migration step.
APSIS One
Profile
Odoo CRM
Lead or Contact (routing required)
1:manyAPSIS One Profiles have no inherent qualification status, while Odoo CRM models prospects as Leads and qualified contacts as Contacts tied to Accounts. We design a routing rule during scoping: Profiles with recent engagement events (last 90 days), explicit purchase intent signals, or a CRM integration source field map to Odoo Lead for sales team qualification. Profiles marked as customers or with closed-won deal history in any linked CRM system map to Contact under a corresponding Account. The original Profile key and any APSIS One source attribution are preserved in custom fields for audit.
APSIS One
Attributes
Odoo CRM
Contact or Lead Custom Fields
1:1APSIS One standard Attributes (email, first name, last name, phone) map directly to Odoo CRM standard Contact fields. Custom Attributes require field-level mapping: we inspect the APSIS One attribute schema during discovery, create equivalent Odoo custom fields via Odoo Studio (with appropriate field types: char, selection, date, integer, float, boolean), and transform values at migration time. Multi-value Attributes map to Odoo tags or multi-select fields depending on cardinality.
APSIS One
Tags
Odoo CRM
Tags
1:1APSIS One Tags are flat string labels stored as a list per Profile. Tags export as a per-Profile string array and insert into Odoo CRM Tags using the contacts.mapped('tag_ids') write method. We preserve the full tag set exactly and recreate tag associations on the migrated Lead or Contact record. Tag cardinality is validated against Odoo's tag model limits during scoping.
APSIS One
Segment
Odoo CRM
CRM Segment or Tag Group
lossyAPSIS One Segments are dynamic or static audience groupings built with rule-based filters. Dynamic Segments cannot migrate directly because Odoo CRM's native segment model is static. We export the Segment definition (rule logic, criteria, and membership count at cutover time), then create corresponding Odoo CRM static segments (Contacts grouped by tag or domain filter) or document the Segment logic for the customer's admin to configure as an Odoo CRM Group post-migration. The Segment name and description are preserved as a tag prefix or CRM Group name.
APSIS One
Event
Odoo CRM
Activity (Task, Meeting, Call)
1:1APSIS One Events (email opens, page views, form submissions, custom events) store a type, timestamp, and optional JSON payload. Odoo CRM models past interactions as Activities: Tasks for action items, Meetings for calendar entries, and Calls for phone interactions. We map event type to Odoo Activity type, set ActivityDate to the event timestamp, and write the event payload as a note on the Activity. High-volume event streams (over 50 events per Profile) are summarized rather than imported as individual activities to avoid overwhelming the Odoo activity timeline.
APSIS One
Consent Record
Odoo CRM
Contact Opt-Out Fields
1:1APSIS One Consent 2.0 stores consent flags and timestamps per channel (email, SMS) as Profile Attributes. We preserve consent records exactly by mapping them to Odoo Contact fields: opt-in status becomes a boolean custom field, consent timestamp becomes a date field, and consent source (form, checkbox, verbal) maps to a selection field. Re-permissioning is avoided by migrating consent as-is and not triggering welcome emails or SMS campaigns during the initial post-migration window.
APSIS One
Automation Flow
Odoo CRM
Not migrated (documented for rebuild)
lossyAPSIS One Marketing Automation Canvas flows have no public API for export. We export flow screenshots, trigger conditions, branch logic, and action sequences during the discovery call, then deliver a written Flow Rebuild Document that maps each APSIS One flow step to an equivalent Odoo CRM automation action (stage-based assignment, lead scoring update, tag application, or external webhook). Complex multi-branch flows with delay nodes and A/B splits require the longest rebuild time; we flag these for prioritization in the handoff document.
APSIS One
CRM Integration Records
Odoo CRM
Not applicable (source-side sync state)
1:1APSIS One bidirectional CRM integrations (webCRM, Efficy Enterprise, Microsoft Dynamics 365, Lime CRM) maintain live sync state that is not accessible via the public API. We export the current Profile data and the integration configuration (field mappings, sync direction, CRM entity types) as a reference document. The customer's admin re-establishes CRM sync by configuring a new Odoo CRM integration or third-party connector for their CRM, triggering a full resync to repopulate sync metadata on the Odoo side.
APSIS One
Sections
Odoo CRM
Odoo App or Team
lossyAPSIS One Sections organize Segments and Flows within an account. We map Section hierarchy to Odoo Teams (crm.team model) or workspace-level Odoo Apps depending on whether the customer is migrating multiple APSIS One accounts or consolidating into a single Odoo instance. Section names become Team names or workspace labels, and Section-level access controls map to Odoo user record rules if the customer's Odoo plan supports multi-team visibility settings.
APSIS One
Profile Key (email or anonymous ID)
Odoo CRM
Contact Email or External ID
1:1Every APSIS One Profile has a unique profile key (typically email for known contacts, an anonymous cookie ID for unknown visitors). We use the profile key as the external_id on the Odoo Contact or Lead record, enabling downstream deduplication if the same contact is re-imported. Email address (when available) also maps to the standard email field on the Contact or Lead, serving as the primary dedupe key within Odoo.
APSIS One
Channel Preferences
Odoo CRM
Contact Custom Fields
1:1APSIS One stores per-Profile channel preferences (email subscribed, SMS subscribed, push enabled) as Attributes. We map these to Odoo CRM custom boolean fields on the Contact or Lead (e.g., x_email_consent, x_sms_consent) with timestamps preserved. Channel-level suppression lists export from APSIS One and upload to Odoo's mailing suppression configuration post-migration to prevent sending to unsubscribed contacts.
APSIS One
Company / Domain
Odoo CRM
Account
1:1APSIS One Profiles linked to a company domain (via company field or domain extraction) map to an Odoo CRM Account. We perform domain-based company matching: profiles sharing the same email domain are grouped and assigned to a single Account record, with the Account name derived from the domain. The Account's website, industry, and address fields populate from any matching APSIS One company Attributes if present.

Pair-specific challenges
Migration approach
Discovery and routing rule design
We audit the APSIS One account across Profile count, Attribute schema (standard and custom), Tag cardinality, Segment count and rule complexity, Event volume and event type distribution, active Automation Flows, and any CRM integration configurations. We pair this with an Odoo CRM edition assessment: Standard ($31/user/mo) covers most migrations; Custom ($47/user/mo) is required if the customer needs multi-company support, advanced access control, or Odoo Studio custom field deployment at scale. The discovery output is a written migration scope document including the Profile-to-Lead-or-Contact routing rule, the Attribute-to-field mapping table, the Segment treatment decision, and the event history migration strategy.
Schema deployment and test migration
We deploy the Odoo CRM destination schema into a sandbox or test database: custom fields created via Odoo Studio or XML data file, Tags configured in the CRM app settings, CRM Segments pre-created as static groups, and Account pre-seeded from any company-level Attributes in APSIS One. We run a 200-profile test migration to validate the routing rule, Attribute mapping, tag preservation, and activity creation before scaling to the full dataset. The customer's admin reviews the test output and signs off before production migration begins.
APSIS One export with rate-limit compliance
We export APSIS One Profiles via the Profile Data Export API and the Profiles in Segment Report endpoint, respecting the 10 req/s per profile-key rate limit by throttling export batches. For Profiles with large event histories, we paginate event extraction per profile key and chunk event records into multiple requests staying within the 100 kB request body ceiling. We flag any Attributes that are user-defined custom fields (no enforced schema) and defer them to a separate mapping pass once the full attribute set is catalogued. The export emits a per-record JSON payload that feeds the transform layer.
Transform and routing in dependency order
We run the transform layer on the exported JSON, applying the routing rule to each Profile (Lead or Contact), mapping standard and custom Attributes to Odoo field names, resolving company-domain grouping to Account records, translating Tags to Odoo tag IDs, summarizing or individualizing Event histories per the agreed strategy, and setting consent flags. Records with missing email addresses are held in a quarantine queue for the customer to supply or confirm as anonymous records to exclude. Each transform phase emits a row-count report before the next phase begins.
Odoo CRM import in dependency order
We import into Odoo CRM in record-dependency order: Accounts (from grouped company profiles), then Contacts and Leads (with AccountId resolved where applicable, OwnerId mapped by email to Odoo User), then Tags (linked to Contact/Lead records), then Activities (Tasks, Meetings, Calls via Odoo RPC or csv import with ActivityDate preserved). Custom fields deploy via Odoo Studio before data import; field-level security is reviewed with the customer's admin to avoid import rejection on required fields.
Cutover, delta sync, and Flow rebuild handoff
We freeze APSIS One writes during cutover, run a final delta migration of any Profiles modified during the migration window, then enable Odoo CRM as the system of record. We deliver the Automation Flow Rebuild Document to the customer's admin team, with each flow's trigger, conditions, and recommended Odoo equivalent mapped step by step. We do not rebuild APSIS One Flows as Odoo automations inside the migration scope. We support a one-week hypercare window for reconciliation issues, after which the engagement closes. Post-migration admin support, training, and workflow rebuild are outside standard scope and require a separate engagement.
