Overview
Clientjoy organizes data around a linear prospect-to-payment lifecycle: Leads flow into Customers, which tie to Pipelines, Proposals, and Invoices. Odoo CRM unifies this into a single crm.lead model that converts to an Opportunity linked to a res.partner record, with invoices handled by the separate Odoo Accounting module. We split Clientjoy's Leads and Customers at migration time based on their lifecycle status and map each to the appropriate Odoo object. Pipeline stage definitions and custom field schemas carry over as Odoo Studio configurations, but Email Sequences, Client Portal settings, and document templates do not migrate as live records — we deliver a written inventory of these for your admin to rebuild. E-sign documents require a separate pre-migration download because audit trails are Clientjoy-specific and cannot be re-created in Odoo. We use Odoo's XML-RPC and REST API endpoints with rate-limit handling and batch chunking throughout the import.
Every standard and custom field arrives verified.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a Clientjoy 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.
Clientjoy
Lead
Odoo CRM
crm.lead
1:1Clientjoy Leads map to Odoo crm.lead records. We use crm.lead fields (contact_name, email_from, phone, street, city, country, description) with Clientjoy custom field values mapped to Odoo custom fields created via Studio before import. Any Clientjoy Lead with a status indicating it has been qualified or converted maps to crm.lead with the won status; unqualified Leads remain as crm.lead with the new or qualifier stage. Original Clientjoy lead source is preserved in a custom field for reporting continuity.
Clientjoy
Customer
Odoo CRM
res.partner
1:1Clientjoy Customer records map to Odoo res.partner with address and contact details preserved. The Clientjoy Customer's email, phone, company name, and billing address map to res.partner fields (email, phone, name, street, city, zip, country). For B2B contexts where the Customer represents an organization rather than an individual, we create a res.partner of type company with the person's contact details on a related res.partner record of type contact.
Clientjoy
Pipeline
Odoo CRM
crm.stage
lossyClientjoy pipeline stage definitions are exported via the API and re-created in Odoo as crm.stage records within the relevant crm.team. Stage names, sequence order, and probability percentages carry over. Clientjoy's pipeline-level lead scoring maps to a custom float field on crm.lead created in Odoo Studio before migration. If multiple Clientjoy pipelines exist (Agency tier), we create corresponding crm.team records in Odoo and scope stages per team.
Clientjoy
Invoice
Odoo CRM
account.move
1:1Clientjoy invoices (one-time and recurring) map to Odoo account.move records in the Odoo Accounting module. We export invoice headers, line items, tax rates, currency codes, and payment status. Recurring invoice schedules are preserved as metadata in a custom field on account.move so the customer's accountant can re-create the recurrence rule in Odoo Accounting. The Odoo Accounting app must be installed and configured before invoice import; we confirm this during scoping. Multi-currency invoice amounts map to account.move with the original currency stored per Odoo accounting standards.
Clientjoy
Document and Template
Odoo CRM
ir.ui.view (QWeb)
1:1Clientjoy document templates with merge fields are exported as raw content and field association metadata. Odoo uses QWeb templates for reports and documents, which is a different rendering engine from Clientjoy's template system. We deliver the exported template content and field mapping table as a written handoff document; rebuilding templates as Odoo QWeb reports is a configuration task for the customer's Odoo admin or a developer. The document builder reliability issues documented on Clientjoy mean that we recommend a fresh template build in Odoo rather than attempting a direct template translation.
Clientjoy
Custom Fields
Odoo CRM
ir.model.fields (Studio)
lossyClientjoy custom field definitions (available on Agency plan and above) are exported with field names, types (text, dropdown, date, number), and all populated values. We create corresponding Odoo custom fields via Odoo Studio before data import, matching field types as closely as possible (text to char, dropdown to selection, date to date, number to float or integer). Fields gated to the Agency plan on Clientjoy are noted during scoping; Starter-plan accounts would not have custom field data to migrate.
Clientjoy
Email Sequence
Odoo CRM
mail.template + server action
lossyClientjoy Email Sequences (steps, timing rules, trigger conditions) are exported as a structured configuration table with step order, delay, template content, and trigger event. Odoo does not have a native sequence cadence model; the replacement pattern is mail.template for email content and ir.actions.server for automated trigger logic built in Odoo Studio. We deliver the Email Sequence inventory as a written document with each sequence mapped to a recommended Odoo mail.template plus server action combination, and the customer's admin configures the automation post-migration.
Clientjoy
Client Portal
Odoo CRM
website.portal (Odoo Website)
1:1Clientjoy Client Portal configurations including white-label settings, custom domain, CSS styling, and embedded widgets are exported as configuration data. Odoo's portal functionality is tied to the Odoo Website and Website Portal modules. We export the portal settings and page structure as a written configuration inventory; white-label settings, custom domain, and portal styling require manual reconfiguration in Odoo Website settings by the customer's admin. Clientjoy's Agency plan branding removal (removing 'Powered by Clientjoy') does not have a direct Odoo equivalent but is handled by Odoo's white-label hosting options on the Custom plan.
Clientjoy
Appointment and Scheduler
Odoo CRM
calendar.event + calendar.event.type
1:1Clientjoy appointment records migrate as Odoo calendar.event with date, time, invitee, duration, and status preserved. Booking page configurations (available times, appointment types, location or meeting link) are exported as a configuration table and re-created in Odoo via the calendar.appointment module. The Odoo Appointment feature requires the calendar app and optionally the website app for public booking pages, both of which are standard Odoo modules available from Standard tier.
Clientjoy
Web Form
Odoo CRM
website.form.configurator (Website)
1:1Clientjoy web form definitions and field mappings are exported as a form schema with field labels, types, and required flags. Odoo replaces web forms with the website.form module and website.form.configurator, which map submitted data to crm.lead or custom models. We deliver the form field mapping as a written configuration document. Form-to-Lead field routing is preserved in the mapping table so leads submitted post-migration route to the correct Odoo model.
Clientjoy
Owner
Odoo CRM
res.users
1:1Clientjoy Owner records map to Odoo res.users by email match. We resolve Clientjoy hubspot_owner_id equivalents to Odoo res.users id during import. Any Clientjoy Owner without a matching Odoo res.users record enters a reconciliation queue for the customer's admin to provision the User before record import resumes.
Clientjoy
Engagement: Calls, Emails, Meetings, Tasks
Odoo CRM
mail.message + calendar.event + project.task
1:1Clientjoy engagement records (calls, emails, meetings, tasks, notes) map to Odoo's mail.message thread on the relevant crm.lead or res.partner record, with calendar.event for meeting records and project.task for task records. Email content, call duration, meeting attendee lists, and task status all transfer to Odoo's chatter and calendar. Activity timestamps are preserved to maintain the chronological activity timeline on each crm.lead record. Note that Odoo Community does not include a native call recording attachment store; we migrate call metadata but not recording files unless Odoo VoIP or a third-party telephony module is installed.

Clientjoy gotchas
API access requires Agency plan or higher
Document builder reliability is poor
Post-Synup support degradation affects data hygiene
Custom fields require Agency plan
E-sign audit trails are platform-specific
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 plan tier confirmation
We audit the source Clientjoy account across plan tier (Starter/Agency/Enterprise), active Leads and Customers, pipeline stage definitions, invoice records (one-time and recurring), document templates, Email Sequences, and custom field schemas. We confirm whether the API is accessible (Agency plan required) or whether CSV exports are the primary extraction method. We pair this with a destination Odoo edition decision: Odoo Standard ($31/user/mo SaaS) covers most CRM migration scope; Odoo Custom ($47/user/mo) is required if multi-company, advanced fiscal year, or custom module development is needed; Odoo Community (free, self-hosted) is an option for technical teams. The discovery output is a written migration scope and a data extraction plan.
Odoo instance preparation and Studio configuration
Before any data import, we configure the destination Odoo instance. This includes installing required apps (CRM, Accounting, Calendar, Website if portal migration is scoped), creating crm.team records matching Clientjoy pipeline configurations, creating crm.stage records with stage names and probability percentages from Clientjoy, provisioning custom fields via Odoo Studio to match Clientjoy custom field schemas, and confirming chart of accounts is set up if invoice migration is in scope. We deploy configuration into a Odoo test database (demo or sandbox equivalent) first for validation.
Data extraction and pre-migration audit
We extract data from Clientjoy using the API (Agency plan and above) or CSV exports (Starter plan). Post-Synup acquisition, support quality has declined, which may have led to data hygiene issues — we run a pre-migration data audit to identify duplicate records, incomplete required fields, stale pipeline entries, and records with missing Owner assignments. We surface these issues in a written pre-migration audit report so the customer can clean up or acknowledge data gaps before import. For Starter-plan accounts with no API access, we extract via CSV and flag any custom field data that was never available under that plan.
Owner reconciliation and res.users provisioning
We extract every distinct Owner referenced on Clientjoy Leads, Customers, Pipeline entries, and engagement records and match by email against the destination Odoo instance's res.users table. Any Clientjoy Owner without a matching Odoo User goes to a reconciliation queue. The customer's Odoo admin provisions any missing Users (active status based on whether the original owner is still active in Clientjoy). Migration cannot proceed to Contact and Lead import because OwnerId references must be resolvable on crm.lead records.
Production migration in dependency order
We run production migration in record-dependency order: res.users (validated by admin), res.partner records (from Clientjoy Customers), crm.lead records (from Clientjoy Leads, with lifecycle status determining stage assignment), crm.stage stages (pre-configured), crm.lead opportunity conversion where applicable, appointment records (calendar.event), engagement history (mail.message via XML-RPC batch API), and account.move records for invoices. Each phase emits a row-count reconciliation report before the next phase begins. We handle API rate limiting with exponential backoff and batch chunking across all Odoo XML-RPC endpoints.
Cutover, validation, and automation rebuild handoff
We freeze Clientjoy writes during cutover, run a final delta migration of any records modified during the migration window, then set Odoo as the system of record. We deliver the Email Sequence inventory, Client Portal configuration document, Document Template field map, and Web Form routing table to the customer's admin team. We support a one-week hypercare window for reconciliation issues. We do not rebuild Email Sequences as Odoo server actions, rebuild Clientjoy portal settings as Odoo Website portal configurations, or rebuild document templates as QWeb reports — these are separate configuration engagements or admin tasks.
