Overview

What this migration involves

Moving from Delivra to Odoo CRM is a platform category shift: Delivra is an email and SMS marketing automation platform organized around Contacts and Custom Tables, while Odoo CRM is a full business management suite with Leads, Contacts, Accounts, and Opportunities. We extract Delivra's relational Custom Tables (1:1, 1:many, many:many) and denormalize them into Odoo-compatible structures using custom fields on Leads and Contacts or a dedicated Odoo custom model. Campaign records, segment definitions, and engagement data (click and open history) migrate as typed fields and activity records. Delivra's visual Automated Workflows and email Sequences do not migrate as automation logic; we deliver a written inventory of every active workflow with recommended Odoo Server Action and Automated Action equivalents for the customer's admin to rebuild. Odoo's per-user pricing model replaces Delivra's contact-based billing, which removes the scaling cost penalty for high-volume contact databases.

Field-level fidelity

Every standard and custom field arrives verified.

Schema-aware mapping

AI proposes the map; you confirm before any record moves.

Relationships preserved

Parent–child, lookups, and ownership stay linked.

Full activity history

Calls, emails, meetings — with original timestamps.

Attachments & notes

Documents, uploads, and inline notes move with the record.

Why teams make this switch

Two sides of the same decision

Leaving

Delivra logo

Delivra

What's pushing teams away

  • Email client compatibility issues with Google Mail, Microsoft Outlook, and Outlook Portal cause rendering problems that require additional testing and workarounds across campaigns.
  • Automation complexity becomes a barrier as teams scale—users report that building and maintaining sophisticated workflows requires significant time investment and technical understanding.
  • Integration ecosystem limitations make it difficult to connect Delivra with the full stack of tools teams use, particularly for custom or niche CRM integrations beyond standard connectors.
  • Some users find the platform challenging to navigate initially, with a learning curve that slows adoption for new team members joining mid-campaign.
  • Pricing at scale becomes a consideration—costs increase significantly with larger contact lists, prompting teams to evaluate alternatives when they outgrow mid-tier plans.

Choosing

Odoo CRM logo

Odoo CRM

What's pulling them in

  • Teams choose Odoo CRM for its modular architecture — one base install with one-click app additions means they can adopt CRM alone and add accounting, inventory, or sales later as the business grows.
  • Small businesses pick Odoo because the Community edition is free and open-source, with no per-user or contact limits, allowing full evaluation before committing to a paid Enterprise tier.
  • The drag-and-drop Kanban pipeline and AI lead scoring are highlighted across G2 reviews as concrete features that make lead management faster and more visual than spreadsheet-based workflows.
  • Odoo's native integration with email, live chat, SMS, VoIP, and WhatsApp means inbound leads from multiple channels feed into a single pipeline without third-party middleware.
  • Companies in retail, supply chain, and construction value that Odoo's CRM module shares the same PostgreSQL database and UI as its ERP modules, eliminating data silos between sales and operations.

Object mapping

How Delivra objects map to Odoo CRM

Each row shows how a Delivra 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.

Delivra

Contact

maps to

Odoo CRM

Lead or Contact (split required)

1:many
Fully supported

Delivra Contacts map to Odoo Lead for unqualified prospects and Odoo Contact for qualified buyers or existing customers. We use the Delivra contact's lifecycle stage, subscription status, and campaign engagement level to determine the split. Contacts with no deal association and low engagement scores map to Odoo Lead; contacts with active deal associations or high engagement scores map to Odoo Contact with an Account reference. Original Delivra contact properties (custom fields, tags, lead score) migrate as custom fields on both Odoo Lead and Contact objects.

Delivra

Custom Table

maps to

Odoo CRM

Custom fields or custom Odoo model

lossy
Fully supported

Delivra Custom Tables with 1:1 relationships to contacts flatten into custom fields on the Odoo Lead or Contact object. 1:many relationships (one contact, many subscriptions) denormalize into a one-to-many Odoo custom model with a Many2one link back to the Contact. Many:many relationships (many contacts, many events) use an intermediary link table model in Odoo with two Many2one fields. We extract the full Delivra table schema during discovery, design the destination Odoo model structure, and build the custom fields and models in Odoo before any data loads. This adds one to two weeks to the migration timeline for accounts with more than three active Custom Tables.

Delivra

Campaign

maps to

Odoo CRM

CRM Lead or Opportunity

1:1
Fully supported

Delivra Campaign records map to Odoo CRM Lead records with a campaign_name custom field carrying the original Delivra campaign title. Campaign targeting criteria (segment definitions) are translated to Odoo domain filters on the Lead object. If the Delivra campaign has associated Opportunities or revenue data, those map to Odoo Opportunity records linked to the Lead via the lead_id reference. Campaign status (active, paused, completed) migrates as a custom picklist field.

Delivra

Segment

maps to

Odoo CRM

CRM Filter or Group

1:1
Fully supported

Delivra segment definitions use filter conditions on contact properties and engagement behaviors. We extract each segment's criteria as a written rule set and translate it to an equivalent Odoo domain filter (stored in ir.filters) or a static Lead/Contact Group. Static groups copy the matching contact IDs directly; dynamic filters execute the domain on the Odoo side at query time. The customer chooses which approach during scoping based on whether real-time segmentation or pre-computed membership is preferred.

Delivra

Lead Scoring

maps to

Odoo CRM

Custom computed fields on Lead/Contact

1:1
Mapping required

Delivra lead scoring models with point values assigned to contact attributes and behaviors migrate as Odoo custom integer fields (e.g., delivra_score__c) and optional computed fields that recompute from Odoo data post-migration. The scoring rules themselves (e.g., +10 for email opened, +5 for form submitted) are documented in a scoring model inventory and do not execute automatically in Odoo; the customer's admin implements them as Odoo Server Actions or Python computed field logic if desired.

Delivra

Automated Workflow

maps to

Odoo CRM

Documented for rebuild (no migration)

lossy
Fully supported

Delivra Automated Workflows are visual logic constructs with triggers, decision branches, time delays, and CRM actions. These do not migrate as executable automation code because the Odoo Workflow Engine uses a different model (Python-based activities and transitions). We deliver a written workflow inventory documenting every active Delivra workflow with its trigger type, conditions, actions, and recommended Odoo Server Action or Automated Action equivalent. The customer's admin or an Odoo partner rebuilds the automations post-migration.

Delivra

Email Template

maps to

Odoo CRM

Email Template (CRM or Email Marketing)

1:1
Fully supported

Delivra email templates built with the drag-and-drop editor migrate as HTML content and asset references. Complex layouts with conditional content blocks and dynamic field insertions are extracted as HTML and require re-authoring in Odoo's template editor or a code-based email template. We deliver the raw HTML output so that the customer's admin can paste it into Odoo's mail template editor. We do not re-create the visual drag-and-drop structure.

Delivra

Form and Landing Page

maps to

Odoo CRM

Website Form (Odoo Website) or CRM Lead

1:1
Fully supported

Delivra web forms migrate as form field definitions and configuration documented in a written inventory. Odoo Website supports form builders that accept the field schema (field names, types, required flags) for re-creation. Form submissions and landing page submissions that exist as contact records in Delivra migrate as CRM Leads with the original submission source noted in a custom field.

Delivra

Engagement Data

maps to

Odoo CRM

CRM Lead/Contact custom fields or activities

1:1
Mapping required

Delivra tracks clicks, opens, and engagement scores on each contact. We migrate engagement metrics as custom integer or date fields on the Odoo Lead or Contact (e.g., last_email_open_date__c, total_email_opens__c, total_email_clicks__c). Large-volume engagement event logs (thousands of per-contact events) are summarized at the contact level rather than migrated as individual activity records, because Odoo CRM's activity model is task and meeting oriented rather than marketing event oriented.

Delivra

Owner

maps to

Odoo CRM

Res.users

1:1
Fully supported

Delivra Users and their role assignments migrate as Odoo res.users records. We match Delivra users by email address against the destination Odoo instance's user table. Role assignments from Delivra (admin, editor, viewer) map to Odoo group memberships (Sales / Administration / Portal) that we configure during migration. Any Delivra user without a matching Odoo user goes to a reconciliation queue for the customer's admin to provision before record import resumes.

Delivra

Companies (if imported into Delivra)

maps to

Odoo CRM

res.partner (company type)

1:1
Fully supported

If Delivra's contact import included company records or if the customer used Delivra's company field, those map to Odoo res.partner records with is_company = True. Delivra company properties (industry, size, website) map to custom fields on the Odoo partner. The Odoo partner is created before any Contact/Lead import so that the Many2one reference is satisfied at the moment of insert.

Delivra

GDPR and subscription data

maps to

Odoo CRM

res.partner (email fields)

1:1
Fully supported

Delivra's GDPR compliance fields (consent date, consent source, unsubscribe status) migrate to Odoo res.partner email fields: opt_out = True for unsubscribed contacts, and custom fields (consent_date__c, consent_source__c) carrying the original consent record. We preserve the original opt-in/opt-out timestamp so that the customer's Odoo admin can configure Odoo's mailing list rules to respect subscription preferences at migration cutover.

Pair-specific challenges

  • Delivra API specifications are not publicly available

    Delivra does not publish its API reference in the public knowledge base. The knowledge base links to an external form to request API technical specs, and SFTP configuration requires direct support from Delivra. This means migration scoping cannot self-serve technical verification for field names, endpoints, and data types. We coordinate with Delivra Support early in discovery to obtain the schema before migration design begins. If the customer cannot obtain API specs from Delivra, we fall back to SFTP-based bulk export, which constrains the migration to the fields available in the standard export template.

  • Custom Table relational structures require denormalization for Odoo

    Delivra Custom Tables with 1:many and many:many relationships do not map directly to Odoo's standard CRM objects. A naive flat export loses the relational links between contacts and related records. We extract the full table schema including relationship types, foreign key fields, and cardinality during discovery. We then either flatten the data with denormalized foreign key values stored as custom fields or restructure into Odoo custom models with Many2one links. This mapping phase adds one to two weeks to projects with more than three active Custom Tables.

  • Delivra Workflows do not migrate to Odoo automations

    Delivra Automated Workflows are visual logic constructs that cannot be exported as executable code and do not translate to Odoo's Server Actions, Automated Actions, or Studio automations. We deliver a written inventory of every active Delivra workflow documenting the trigger, conditions, branches, delays, and actions. The customer's Odoo admin or an Odoo implementation partner rebuilds the automations post-migration. We do not rebuild workflows as part of the migration scope.

  • Engagement event logs cannot be migrated as individual activity records

    Delivra tracks each email open and click as a discrete engagement event on the contact record. Migrating thousands of per-contact engagement events as individual Odoo activities would create a bloated activity timeline that is not actionable in Odoo's task-and-meeting model. We summarize engagement data at the contact level (last open date, total opens, total clicks, last click date) as custom fields on the Lead or Contact. If the customer requires detailed event history, we deliver a CSV export of engagement events for analysis in a separate data warehouse tool.

  • Delivra contact-based pricing creates a migration volume snapshot

    Delivra bills on the number of contacts in the account at billing time. Migrating contacts out of Delivra has no billing impact, but if the customer plans to use Delivra alongside Odoo temporarily, the contact volume snapshot at migration cutover determines the final billing cycle. We coordinate the cutover timing with the customer's Delivra account team to ensure no mid-cycle contact import occurs after the migration snapshot is taken.

Migration approach

Six steps for a successful Delivra to Odoo CRM data migration

  1. Discovery and Delivra schema extraction

    We audit the source Delivra account for contact volume, active Custom Tables with relationship types, active campaigns, segment definitions, lead scoring models, active workflows, email templates, and engagement data scope. We submit the API schema request to Delivra Support immediately upon engagement. If API access is not available, we configure SFTP access for bulk export and confirm which fields appear in the standard export template. The discovery output is a written migration scope document listing every object to be migrated, held, or documented for rebuild.

  2. Odoo schema design and custom model creation

    We design the destination Odoo CRM schema based on the Delivra audit. This includes provisioning custom fields on the crm.lead model (Lead) and res.partner model (Contact) for Delivra contact properties that have no direct Odoo equivalent. For Custom Tables with relational structures, we design either flattened custom field schemas or custom Odoo models with Many2one relationship fields. We create the schema in the customer's Odoo instance (Sandbox first, Production after sign-off) before any data migration begins.

  3. Sandbox migration and reconciliation

    We run a full migration into the customer's Odoo Sandbox using production-like data volume. The customer's Odoo administrator and operations lead reconcile record counts (Leads in, Contacts in, Partners in), spot-check 25-50 random records against the Delivra source, and validate that custom field values match the original Delivra properties. Any mapping corrections and custom field additions happen in the Sandbox before production migration begins.

  4. Data cleanse and transformation

    We run a data cleanse phase on the Delivra export before loading into Odoo. This includes deduplication (matching by email address with a configurable precedence rule), standardization of phone number formats, and removal of records with missing required fields (email address for Contacts, name for Accounts). We apply the Delivra-to-Odoo transformation logic including the contact-to-Lead/Contact split rule, Custom Table denormalization, and engagement score summarization. The cleansed and transformed dataset is staged for production migration.

  5. Production migration in dependency order

    We run production migration in record-dependency order: res.partner (company-type records from Delivra company fields), crm.lead (Delivra Contacts mapped to Leads), res.partner (Delivra Contacts mapped to Contacts with Account references), custom model records (Custom Table data with resolved foreign keys), crm.lead.scoring (lead score values), and engagement summary fields. Each phase emits a row-count reconciliation report before the next phase begins. Owner resolution matches Delivra users by email to Odoo res.users records.

  6. Cutover, validation, and workflow rebuild handoff

    We freeze Delivra writes during the cutover window, run a final delta migration of any records modified during the migration window, then enable Odoo CRM as the system of record. We validate 100 record spot-check against Delivra source data and deliver the automation rebuild inventory documenting every active Delivra workflow with Odoo Server Action and Automated Action equivalents. We support a one-week hypercare window to resolve reconciliation issues. We do not rebuild Delivra workflows as Odoo automations inside the migration scope; that is a separate engagement.

Strengths

  • Generous pricing with Starter tier at $29/month for 500 contacts and no per-seat user limits across all plans.
  • Excellent customer support reputation with 4.8/5 Capterra rating and high-touch guided onboarding.
  • Built-in SMS marketing alongside email in a single platform, avoiding the need for separate SMS tool integration.
  • Custom Tables with relational data support enable sophisticated data modeling for complex contact relationships.
  • Drag-and-drop editors and visual workflow builders reduce technical barriers for non-developer users.

Weaknesses

  • Email client compatibility issues require additional testing for Gmail, Outlook, and Outlook Portal rendering.
  • Automation builder complexity increases significantly for sophisticated multi-branch workflows.
  • Integration ecosystem is limited compared to broader CRM platforms, restricting connectivity with niche tools.
  • Contact-based pricing model means costs scale directly with list size, which can become expensive at high volumes.
  • API documentation is not publicly available on the knowledge base, requiring direct contact with support to obtain technical specifications.

Strengths

  • Modular open-source architecture lets teams start with CRM and add ERP apps as needs grow, all sharing one PostgreSQL database.
  • Free Community edition with no contact limits and full source code access means zero licensing cost for evaluation and small deployments.
  • Drag-and-drop Kanban pipeline with AI lead scoring gives a visual, prioritized view of the sales funnel without requiring custom configuration.
  • Native integrations with email, live chat, SMS, VoIP, WhatsApp, and social media feed all inbound leads into a single unified inbox.
  • Active Odoo Community Association (OCA) maintains dozens of community-maintained modules on GitHub for extended functionality.

Weaknesses

  • Gmail and email integration reliability is a recurring complaint — threads drop and conversations scatter across inboxes, disrupting sales team workflows.
  • Enterprise edition pricing stacks quickly: multiple apps at per-user rates ($25–$50/user/month) plus Odoo.sh hosting costs more than many SMBs anticipate.
  • Setup and configuration complexity increases significantly once custom fields, automation rules, and multiple installed modules are in play.
  • Odoo.sh trial databases run on a version (e.g., 18.3) that is not directly migratable to Odoo.sh, blocking the assisted migration path Odoo advertises.
  • Version upgrades between major Odoo releases (e.g., 17→18) frequently break custom module view definitions and XPath expressions, requiring manual remediation.

Migrations under 10,000 Contacts with no Custom Tables or simple flat Custom Tables land in three to five weeks. Migrations with relational Custom Tables (1:many or many:many), engagement data summaries for large databases (50,000+ contacts), or multiple active workflow inventories move to eight to twelve weeks because of schema design, denormalization scripting, and multi-pass validation. The Delivra API schema acquisition step (coordinating with Delivra Support for technical specs) can add one to two weeks at the start if the public knowledge base does not contain the endpoint documentation.
