Overview
Fans-CRM has no publicly documented API, which means this migration relies on export-file extraction rather than programmatic data pull. We request CSV or JSON exports from Fans-CRM's dashboard, parse the fan relationship data, content post metadata, PPV transaction records, and subscription tier assignments, then map them to Odoo CRM's Contact model with custom fields and a custom PPV transaction object. Fans-CRM organizes data around Fans, Subscribers, Content Posts, and Subscription Tiers — none of which map directly to Odoo's standard Lead, Contact, and Opportunity objects, so we build a custom schema for every migration. Message templates, Chat Assistant rules, and bulk messaging automation are platform-native logic that does not transfer; we document the template structures during discovery for the client's admin to rebuild in Odoo Studio. The migration proceeds through a staging import into a sandbox Odoo environment, followed by production import with full reconciliation. Odoo's ERP breadth means we also flag which other Odoo apps (Inventory, Accounting, Project) should be activated if the client's business has grown beyond content creator management alone.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a Fans-CRM 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.
Fans-CRM
Fan / Subscriber
Odoo CRM
Contact (res.partner)
1:1Fans-CRM subscriber records with engagement scores, subscription status, lifecycle data, and chatter metrics map to Odoo CRM Contact records. We preserve engagement_score, subscription_status, lapse_date, and re_engagement_flag as custom Char, Selection, or Date fields on res.partner. The fan's email address becomes the Contact email; the OnlyFans username becomes a custom field (no native Odoo equivalent). Subscription tier assignments from Fans-CRM map to a custom Selection field on the Contact.
Fans-CRM
Subscription Tier
Odoo CRM
Product Template (res.product.template) or Contact custom field
lossyFans-CRM tier definitions (tier name, monthly price, fan count per tier) map either to Odoo Product Templates with specific pricelist rules or to a custom Contact field depending on whether the client wants to track tier as a contact property or as a sellable product. We confirm the client's preference during scoping. If tier-as-product, we create one product per subscription tier with a recurring invoice policy in Odoo Sale app.
Fans-CRM
PPV Record
Odoo CRM
Custom Model: PPV Transaction (x_ppv_transaction)
1:1Fans-CRM PPV records (amount, fan identifier, timestamp, content reference, media type) do not map to any standard Odoo object. We create a custom Odoo model x_ppv_transaction with fields for fan_partner_id (Many2one to res.partner), transaction_date (Date), amount (Monetary), content_reference (Char), and media_type (Selection). We build this via Odoo's Settings > Custom Structures > Models interface or via CSV with Odoo's external ID format before import.
Fans-CRM
Content Post
Odoo CRM
Custom Model: Content Post (x_content_post)
1:1Fans-CRM content posts contain media references, PPV pricing, post date, and performance metadata (likes, comments, tip amount). We create a custom Odoo model x_content_post with fields for post_date, media_type (Selection: photo/video/audio/text), ppv_price, performance_likes, performance_comments, performance_tips, and fan_partner_ids (Many2many to res.partner for tagged fans). Media files cannot migrate as binary content through CSV; we document the storage location so the client's admin can attach them via Odoo's document management module post-migration.
Fans-CRM
Engagement Metrics
Odoo CRM
Contact custom fields (res.partner)
lossyFans-CRM stores fan-level engagement scores and chatter metrics as numerical values on the subscriber record. We map these as custom numeric fields on res.partner: x_engagement_score (Float), x_chatter_count (Integer), x_last_active_date (Date). These are stored directly on the Contact record for use in Odoo CRM filters, kanban views, and segmentation.
Fans-CRM
Agency Team Member
Odoo CRM
User (res.users)
1:1Fans-CRM agency users with role-based permissions (Admin, Manager, Content Creator, Support) map to Odoo User accounts with corresponding access rights groups. We map Fan-CRM role labels to Odoo default groups (Sales / Administration / Portal) and create custom access rights groups for agency-specific roles if the client's Odoo deployment includes the Odoo Studio app. Inactive users from Fans-CRM map to Odoo User records with Active=False.
Fans-CRM
Smart Folder / Tag
Odoo CRM
Contact Tags (res.partner.category) or custom Tag model
lossyFans-CRM Smart Folders are tag-based content organization structures that may reference fans, posts, or both. We extract all underlying tag data and import them as Odoo Contact Tags (res.partner.category) for fan-level tags. If content-level tags exist, we store them on the x_content_post custom model as a Char field or a second custom tag model x_content_tag, depending on whether the client wants tag-based filtering across both fans and posts.
Fans-CRM
Message Template
Odoo CRM
None — documented for manual rebuild
1:1Fans-CRM Chat Assistant templates, bulk message scripts, and automated reply rules are platform-native automation logic that has no Odoo equivalent in standard CRM scope. We do not migrate these. During discovery we capture screenshot exports and structured notes of every active template (trigger condition, message body, delay, personalization variables) and deliver them in a written Template Inventory document so the client's admin can rebuild them in Odoo Email Marketing, Odoo Social, or Odoo Studio.
Fans-CRM
Bulk Messaging Campaign
Odoo CRM
None — documented for manual rebuild
1:1Fans-CRM bulk messaging campaigns with fan segmentation, message sequences, and performance tracking do not map to Odoo CRM. We document the campaign structure (segment filter criteria, message cadence, performance metrics) during discovery and deliver it as a written Campaign Inventory. Rebuild options include Odoo Email Marketing for fan email sequences, Odoo SMS for text campaigns, or Odoo Social for social media engagement. Which tool depends on the client's channel priorities.
Fans-CRM
OnlyFans Account Connection
Odoo CRM
None — external platform connection
1:1Fans-CRM's official OnlyFans platform connection is a platform-access feature that cannot migrate. Odoo CRM does not have a native OnlyFans integration. The client's admin must re-establish the OnlyFans account connection through whatever browser or API method OnlyFans supports independently of Fans-CRM. We do not attempt to transfer session cookies or authentication tokens from Fans-CRM's anti-detect browser environment.
Fans-CRM
Chat Assistant / Automated Reply
Odoo CRM
None — documented for manual rebuild
1:1Fans-CRM's AI-powered Chat Assistant and automated reply rules are proprietary platform logic that cannot be extracted as portable configuration data. We do not migrate them. We deliver a written description of the Chat Assistant's current behavior (trigger phrases, response routing, escalation rules) so the client's admin can evaluate Odoo helpdesk automation or third-party AI reply tools as replacements.
Fans-CRM
Anti-Detect Browser Session
Odoo CRM
None — workflow-only, not data
1:1Fans-CRM's bundled anti-detect browser stores OnlyFans session data (cookies, fingerprints, IP bindings) that are specific to that browser environment and have no portable equivalent. These sessions cannot transfer to Odoo CRM or any other platform. We flag this during scoping so the client's admin understands that OnlyFans re-authentication will be required after migration. Odoo CRM handles this limitation by running OnlyFans access through standard browsers with standard security practices.

Migration approach
Discovery and export confirmation
We audit Fans-CRM across subscriber record volume, PPV transaction count, content post metadata fields, subscription tier definitions, team member roles, active message templates, and engagement metric fields. We request and validate the export file format (CSV or JSON) from Fans-CRM's dashboard before confirming the migration scope. If Fans-CRM's export produces a format we have not encountered, we test parsing against a sample. We also capture screenshot exports of message templates, bulk messaging campaigns, and Smart Folder structures for the Template Inventory deliverable.
Custom schema design in Odoo CRM
We design the destination schema in Odoo CRM. This includes custom fields on res.partner for engagement_score, chatter_count, subscription_status, last_active_date, and onlyfans_username; creation of x_ppv_transaction custom model with fields for amount, transaction_date, content_reference, and fan_partner_id; creation of x_content_post custom model with fields for post_date, media_type, ppv_price, and performance metrics; and configuration of contact tags (res.partner.category) for fan segmentation tags. Schema is built via Odoo's Settings > Custom Structures interface in a Sandbox or development Odoo environment before production migration begins.
Sandbox migration and reconciliation
We run a full migration into an Odoo staging environment using production-like data volume from the Fans-CRM export. The client's lead admin reconciles record counts (Contacts in, PPV transactions in, Content Posts in), spot-checks 25-50 random records against the Fans-CRM source, and validates that custom field values landed correctly. Any mapping corrections — particularly around date formats, numeric precision on PPV amounts, and null handling on optional fields — happen here, not in production.
User provisioning and role mapping
We extract every distinct team member from Fans-CRM (Admin, Manager, Content Creator, Support roles) and map them to Odoo User accounts with corresponding access rights. We create custom access rights groups for agency-specific roles if the client's Odoo deployment includes Odoo Studio. Any Fans-CRM user without a clear Odoo equivalent goes to a reconciliation queue for the client's admin to resolve. Inactive Fans-CRM users map to Odoo User records with Active=False to preserve historical attribution without granting login access.
Production migration in dependency order
We run production migration in record-dependency order: Users first (manual provisioning validated), then Contacts with all custom fields populated, then x_ppv_transaction records with fan_partner_id resolved to existing Contact records, then x_content_post records with media references noted for manual attachment. Each phase emits a row-count reconciliation report before the next phase begins. We use Odoo's native CSV import for Contacts and custom models, with batch sizes appropriate to Odoo's import performance characteristics on the client's hosting environment (Odoo.sh or self-hosted).
Template inventory delivery and cutover
We deliver the written Template and Campaign Inventory documenting every Fans-CRM message template, bulk messaging campaign, and Chat Assistant rule. We freeze Fans-CRM writes during cutover, run a final delta import of any records modified during the migration window, then enable Odoo CRM as the system of record. We support a one-week hypercare window where we resolve any data quality issues raised by the client's team. We do not rebuild Fans-CRM automations, message templates, or Chat Assistant logic as part of the migration scope; that is separate work for the client's Odoo admin or an Odoo Studio implementation partner.
