Overview
Moving from Boostr to Odoo CRM is a migration from a media-advertising-specific platform to a general-purpose ERP with an integrated CRM module. Boostr's data model (Advertisers, Campaigns, Proposals, Orders, Ad Inventory Units) does not map directly to Odoo's Contact-Company-Opportunity model, so we perform a semantic translation during transformation. Boostr Proposals map to Odoo CRM Opportunities in a draft or proposal stage, while confirmed Orders map to Odoo Opportunities in a Closed Won state. Ad inventory line items (placement, format, dates, impressions, CPM, unit count) are extracted per Order and flattened into Odoo custom fields or a dedicated product line on the Opportunity. Odoo has no native bulk API — we use Odoo's native CSV/XLSX import with column-header matching and model sequencing. We do not migrate Boostr's GAM push integration (OAuth tokens are platform-bound) or its 50+ out-of-the-box media workflows; we deliver a written inventory of active workflows and GAM connection details for your ad ops team to re-establish post-migration.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a Boostr 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.
Boostr
Advertiser
Odoo CRM
Contact + Company (Address)
1:manyBoostr Advertisers (the buyer account record) map to both an Odoo Contact and a corresponding Odoo Company (Address) record. The Advertiser name becomes the Company name; the primary contact name and email become the Contact. We extract Advertiser custom fields (industry, agency relationship, primary contact role) into Odoo Contact custom fields. Multi-contact Advertisers result in one primary Contact linked to the Company with additional Contacts as related Odoo Contacts under the same Company.
Boostr
Campaign
Odoo CRM
CRM Opportunity or Project
1:manyBoostr Campaigns (grouping multiple Proposals and Orders under one media campaign umbrella) map to Odoo CRM Opportunities with a custom field boostr_campaign_id__c and boostr_campaign_name__c preserved for lineage. If the customer uses Odoo Project for campaign project management, we map Campaign to Project and link Opportunities to the Project as deliverables. The customer chooses the strategy during scoping based on whether they track media campaigns as sales pipeline records or as project delivery records.
Boostr
Proposal
Odoo CRM
CRM Opportunity (Draft/Proposal stage)
1:1Boostr Proposals (draft offers before order confirmation) map to Odoo CRM Opportunities with Stage set to a configured draft state (Proposal Sent or Negotiation) that mirrors Boostr's proposal lifecycle. Proposal-level pricing, advertiser references, and line items migrate to Opportunity custom fields or Opportunity Product Lines. The original Boostr proposal ID is preserved in boostr_proposal_id__c on the Opportunity record.
Boostr
Order
Odoo CRM
CRM Opportunity (Won stage)
1:1Boostr Orders (confirmed commercial bookings) map to Odoo CRM Opportunities with Stage set to Won and Expected Revenue populated from the Order total value. Order-to-Proposal lineage is preserved by linking the Odoo Opportunity (Won) to the parent Odoo Opportunity (Proposal) via a custom lookup field. Order revenue type and billing status migrate to custom fields.
Boostr
Ad Inventory Unit
Odoo CRM
Custom Fields + Product Lines
1:manyBoostr Ad Inventory Units (placement, format, dates, impressions, CPM, unit count) attached to each Order are extracted as separate rows during transformation. Each line item becomes an Odoo Opportunity Product Line entry with custom fields boostr_placement__c, boostr_format__c, boostr_impressions__c, boostr_cpm__c, and boostr_start_date__c, boostr_end_date__c. If Odoo Inventory is in use, we recommend creating a Product record per ad format for deeper tracking.
Boostr
Revenue Record
Odoo CRM
Opportunity Expected Revenue + Accounting entry
1:1Boostr revenue figures at the Order level migrate to Odoo Opportunity Expected Revenue. If the customer uses Odoo Accounting alongside CRM, we create corresponding Account Move entries in draft state for the customer's accounting team to review and post. Revenue type (CPM, flat-rate, hybrid) and billing status migrate to custom fields on the Opportunity.
Boostr
Pipeline Stage
Odoo CRM
Opportunity Stage
lossyBoostr's configurable pipeline stages (Prospect, Proposal, Negotiating, Booked, etc.) map to Odoo CRM Stage records. We replicate the customer's stage labels and probabilities into Odoo Stages, setting the probability percentages per Boostr's configured values. Won and Lost stages map directly.
Boostr
User / Owner
Odoo CRM
User
1:1Boostr User records (names, roles, team assignments) map to Odoo User. We resolve by email match during import. Any Boostr Owner without a matching Odoo User is held in a reconciliation queue for the customer's admin to provision. Odoo's multi-company configuration requires us to map Boostr team assignments to Odoo company or workspace records during user provisioning.
Boostr
Custom Properties (Advertiser)
Odoo CRM
Contact custom fields
1:1Boostr custom fields on Advertisers migrate to Odoo Contact custom fields. We discover the full custom field schema during scoping and apply field-level mapping. Odoo Studio allows admin-level custom field creation without developer access, which we use to pre-provision the schema before migration.
Boostr
Custom Properties (Order)
Odoo CRM
Opportunity custom fields
1:1Boostr custom fields on Orders migrate to Odoo Opportunity custom fields. Custom field types (text, number, date, selection) map to equivalent Odoo field types. Selection fields with restricted values must have the same picklist values defined in Odoo before import to avoid rejection.
Boostr
GAM Integration
Odoo CRM
None (documentation only)
1:1Boostr's Google Ad Manager push integration uses platform-bound OAuth tokens that cannot be replicated in Odoo. We document the active GAM connection details (publisher account ID, network code, order setup) during discovery and include a reconnection checklist in the post-migration handoff. The customer's ad ops team re-establishes the GAM connection in their ad serving stack as a configuration step, not a data migration task.
Boostr
Workflow / Automation
Odoo CRM
None (inventory only)
1:1Boostr's 50+ out-of-the-box media-specific workflows (proposal generation, order confirmation, GAM push, revenue recognition) are platform-bound and do not migrate. We deliver a written inventory of every active Boostr workflow with its trigger, conditions, actions, and recommended Odoo Automated Actions equivalent. Odoo uses Server Actions and Automated Actions (available from Odoo Standard) as the rebuild target.

Gotchas + challenges
Platform-specific issues from each side, plus the pair-specific challenges that don't show up on either platform's page on its own.
Boostr gotchas
No public API forces manual export coordination
Proposals and Orders are distinct objects — not Deals
Ad inventory line items require custom field flattening
GAM integration OAuth tokens cannot be migrated
Odoo CRM gotchas
Odoo.sh version gating blocks assisted migrations from trial
Enterprise modules fail to install on Community after database restore
Custom module view inheritance breaks between Odoo major versions
Custom fields risk losing their application context on Community
API access for Community is gated behind the Custom Plan
Pair-specific challenges
Migration approach
Discovery and export scoping
We audit the Boostr instance with the customer's admin: record counts per object (Advertisers, Campaigns, Proposals, Orders, Ad Inventory Units), custom field schema on each object, active pipeline stages and probabilities, GAM integration status, and active workflows. We identify any data that requires manual pull rather than automated export. The output is a written migration scope with record counts, a proposed extraction schedule, and a Boostr export checklist for the admin to execute before transformation begins.
Schema design and custom field provisioning
We design the Odoo destination schema: CRM stage names and probabilities matching the Boostr pipeline, custom fields on Contact and Opportunity for Boostr custom property equivalents, opportunity-product-line configuration for ad inventory, multi-company setup if applicable, and user provisioning against the Boostr owner list. Odoo Studio handles custom field creation without developer access for most field types. We deploy into the customer's Odoo staging environment first for validation.
Boostr export coordination and extraction validation
We coordinate the manual Boostr export with the customer's admin during a scoped extraction session. The admin executes CSV pulls for each object (Advertisers, Campaigns, Proposals, Orders, Ad Inventory Units) with agreed column sets. We validate each export: row counts, header alignment, null rates, and cross-object referential integrity (e.g., every Order has a valid Advertiser reference). We flag any missing records or truncated fields before transformation begins.
Transformation and opportunity split
We run transformation scripts that split the Boostr Proposal-Order lifecycle into the Odoo Opportunity model: Proposals become Opportunities in draft stages, Orders become Opportunities in Won, and Order-to-Proposal lineage is resolved via the parent lookup field. Ad inventory rows are extracted per Order and written as Opportunity Product Lines with custom metadata fields. Custom field values from Advertisers and Orders are mapped to the corresponding Odoo custom fields. We produce a transformation log that tracks every record processed and any transformation anomalies.
Odoo import sequencing and reconciliation
We import into Odoo in dependency order: Companies (from Advertisers), Contacts (linked to Companies), Opportunities from Proposals, Opportunities from Orders (with parent lookup resolved), Opportunity Product Lines (after parent Opportunity exists), and finally user reconciliation. Each phase emits a reconciliation report (rows in, rows created, rows rejected, rejection reasons). The customer's Odoo admin reviews and signs off between phases in the staging environment.
Sandbox validation and production migration
We run the full migration sequence in Odoo Sandbox (a copy of the production database) using production-like data volumes. The customer's admin spot-checks 25-50 records per object against the Boostr source and signs off the mapping. After sign-off, we run production migration in the same sequence with a freeze on new Boostr writes during the cutover window. A final delta migration captures any records modified during the migration window. We deliver the GAM reconnection checklist and workflow inventory document to the customer's admin team.
