Overview
Captorra and Zoho CRM occupy different segments of the legal-tech stack. Captorra is a case-intake and law-firm growth platform with lead management, case tracking, and referral handling built around a vendor-posting API model. Zoho CRM is a general-purpose sales CRM that legal teams adopt for its cost structure, customization depth, and Zoho ecosystem breadth. The migration carries Captorra leads, cases, contacts, companies, referrals, and file attachments into Zoho CRM's Leads, Potentials, Contacts, Accounts, custom modules, and file storage. Captorra's legal-specific custom fields (case type, damages, case status, referral source) map to Zoho custom fields and value-mapped pick-lists. Captorra's automations and assignment rules do not migrate; they must be rebuilt in Zoho Blueprint and workflow rules. The Captorra API (vendor-posting endpoint) requires pull-based extraction logic for full record export, involving careful handling of pagination and rate limits. A sample migration with field-level diff validates every mapping before the full run commits, ensuring that custom field translations, status value mappings, and owner resolution all function correctly before production data movement begins.
Every standard and custom field arrives verified.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a Captorra 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.
Captorra
Lead
Zoho CRM
Lead
1:1Captorra leads map directly to Zoho CRM Leads. Standard fields (name, email, phone, company) transfer as-is. Captorra's lead source field maps to Zoho's Lead Source pick-list. Custom lead properties migrate as Zoho CRM custom fields. Owner assignment resolves by email match to Zoho users; unmatched owners flagged before migration.
Captorra
Case
Zoho CRM
Potential
1:1Captorra Case maps to Zoho CRM Potential (also called Cases in Zoho's UI). Captorra's case status pick-list values (New Case, Under Review, Qualified, Filed, Settlement, Closed) map value-by-value to Zoho Potential Stage pick-list values. Stage-transition timestamps preserve as custom datetime fields. The Captorra Case Number becomes a custom field on the Potential.
Captorra
Contact
Zoho CRM
Contact
1:1Captorra contacts map directly to Zoho CRM Contacts. Name, email, phone, address, and title fields transfer as-is. Custom contact properties migrate as Zoho CRM custom fields. Contacts without a linked company in Captorra land as Contacts without an Account lookup; Zoho allows this, and you can assign them to a default account or update them post-migration.
Captorra
Company
Zoho CRM
Account
1:1Captorra companies map directly to Zoho CRM Accounts. Company name, domain, industry, employee count, and annual revenue fields transfer as-is. Parent-child company hierarchies in Captorra map to Zoho's Parent Account lookup. Multi-contact companies (Captorra allows N:N contact-company relationships) land with the primary contact on the Account, with additional contacts added via the Contact Roles related list.
Captorra
Referral
Zoho CRM
Custom Module (Referral_Source__c)
1:1Captorra's referral tracking module has no native Zoho CRM equivalent. We create a custom Referral_Source__c module during migration setup with fields for source name, referral date, referring contact, and linked Potential. N:N referral relationships (one contact referred by multiple sources) surface as multiple custom module records linked to the contact.
Captorra
Custom Field (Case_Type__c)
Zoho CRM
Custom Field on Potential
1:1Captorra's case-type field captures legal classification (e.g., Personal Injury, Employment, Family Law). This maps to a Zoho CRM custom pick-list field (Case_Type__c) on the Potential module. The pick-list values are rebuilt from Captorra's configuration. Zoho's pick-list management requires admin access — we deliver a value-map document as part of the migration plan.
Captorra
Custom Field (Damages__c)
Zoho CRM
Custom Field on Potential
1:1Captorra's damages field captures estimated or claimed damages in case records. This maps to a Zoho CRM currency or number field (Damages__c) on the Potential module. Currency formatting from Captorra (which may include a currency symbol) is stripped and stored as a numeric value in Zoho. Any currency-code metadata from Captorra is preserved in a companion text field.
Captorra
Matter Assignment
Zoho CRM
Potential lookup to Contact
1:1Captorra matter assignments link a contact to a case with assignment details. In Zoho CRM, a Potential's primary contact is set via the Contact Name lookup. Captorra's multi-contact case assignments (where one case has multiple assigned contacts) collapse to a single primary contact per Potential, with additional contacts surfaced through the Contact Roles related list in Zoho.
Captorra
Task / Activity
Zoho CRM
Task
1:1Captorra tasks and case activity records map to Zoho CRM Tasks. Subject, due date, status, and priority transfer as-is. Task owner resolves by email match to Zoho users. Activity timestamps and descriptions preserve from Captorra. Captorra's custom activity types (e.g., Court Filing, Client Call) map to a custom Activity_Type__c field on the Zoho Task.
Captorra
Note / Document
Zoho CRM
Notes
1:1Captorra notes and case documents map to Zoho CRM Notes. Note title, body content, and associated record link transfer as-is. Rich-text formatting from Captorra notes may require normalization — we test note rendering in Zoho during the sample migration phase. Original create dates preserve as a custom Created_In_Source__c field.
Captorra
Attachment / File
Zoho CRM
Attachments (Files)
1:1Captorra file attachments re-upload to Zoho CRM's Attachments module. Each file links to its parent record (Lead, Potential, or Contact). Zoho's file size limit is 25 MB per attachment. Files exceeding this limit are flagged during the audit phase and require either a pre-migration split or external hosting with a URL stored as a custom field on the record.
Captorra
User / Owner
Zoho CRM
User
1:1Captorra user and owner records resolve by email match against Zoho CRM users. Unmatched owners are flagged before migration begins; your team either creates Zoho users for them before the migration run or assigns their records to a fallback Zoho user. Captorra's role-based permissions do not map to Zoho's profile and role model — those are configured separately post-migration.

Migration approach
Audit Captorra data model and map to Zoho schema
FlitStack AI extracts a full data inventory from Captorra covering all standard and custom objects, field types, pick-list values, attachment inventory, and user roster. We cross-reference this against Zoho CRM's target schema to identify required custom fields, pick-list value creation, custom module setup for referral tracking, and file-size issues. The audit output is a field-mapping spreadsheet reviewed and approved by your team before any data moves.
Clean data and resolve owner assignments
We deduplicate Captorra contacts, standardize company name formatting, and flag records missing required Zoho fields. Each Captorra user and case owner is matched by email to a Zoho user account; unmatched owners are flagged for your team to provision Zoho access or designate a fallback owner. Data cleanup and owner resolution run in parallel and must be complete before the sample migration begins.
Set up Zoho schema: custom fields, modules, pick-lists
With your Zoho admin, we create the custom fields, the Referral_Source__c custom module, and all required Zoho pick-list values for case status, case type, lead source, and any other Captorra custom pick-lists. Captorra's case type and damages fields are added to the Potential module. Layout assignments per Zoho user role are configured so records display the correct fields after migration.
Run a sample migration with field-level diff
A representative slice of 100–500 records — spanning leads, cases, contacts, accounts, and referrals — migrates into your Zoho sandbox or a test environment. We generate a field-level diff comparing source values against Zoho field values so you can verify case status mapping, referral record creation, owner resolution, and attachment upload status. Any mapping corrections happen before the full run commits.
Full migration with delta-pickup and audit log
The full dataset migrates into your production Zoho CRM account. A delta-pickup window (24–48 hours) captures any new or modified Captorra records created during the cutover period. An audit log records every operation with source record ID, destination record ID, and timestamp. One-click rollback is available if post-migration reconciliation finds unexpected gaps. After go-live, we provide a reconciliation report comparing Captorra record counts against Zoho record counts for each module.
