Overview
Moving from Flash Lead Sales to Odoo CRM is a manual-extraction migration because Flash Lead Sales has no documented public API. We work with the platform's built-in CSV export, which captures current-stage leads, contact profiles, company records, and tag sets but does not include stage transition history as structured data. We flag this gap during scoping, extract the full activity log separately, and reconstruct stage progression as a custom stage_history field on the CRM Lead in Odoo. Odoo's lead stage is disabled by default in new installations; we activate it before import so records land as Leads rather than skipping to Contact. Custom pipeline stages are fully user-defined in Flash Lead Sales and require an explicit per-account mapping table before Odoo's stage configuration is locked. We do not migrate automations, sequences, internal chat, or reporting dashboards; these are documented in a handoff inventory for your admin to rebuild in Odoo Studio or via the automation builder.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a Flash Lead Sales 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.
Flash Lead Sales
Lead
Odoo CRM
crm.lead (Lead)
1:1Flash Lead Sales Leads map to Odoo CRM crm.lead records. The current stage maps to Odoo stage_id; custom stage names require an explicit mapping table built during discovery. Tags migrate as a comma-separated string into a custom char field; lead sources migrate to the crm.lead source_id field or a custom field. Owner assignment maps by email match to Odoo res.users. Flash Lead does not export stage transition history as structured data; we request the activity log separately and store reconstructed progression as a custom stage_history__c text field on each lead.
Flash Lead Sales
Contact
Odoo CRM
res.partner (Contact)
1:1Flash Lead Sales Contacts map to Odoo res.partner records with type=contact. Email address is the dedupe key. The customer's name, phone, location, and conversation history attach to the partner record. If Flash Lead exports a company association, we resolve the Company record first and attach partner_id with parent_id pointing to the company partner.
Flash Lead Sales
Company
Odoo CRM
res.partner (Company)
1:1Flash Lead Sales Company records map to Odoo res.partner with type=company. The company name becomes the partner name, domain or website becomes website, and any associated contact roles or deal history attach via the partner relationship. If Flash Lead exports contacts without a named company, we create placeholder company partners as needed to satisfy Odoo's partner hierarchy.
Flash Lead Sales
Deal
Odoo CRM
crm.lead (Opportunity)
1:1Flash Lead Sales Deals map to Odoo CRM crm.lead records with type=opportunity. The deal amount maps to Odoo's expected_revenue; the pipeline stage maps to stage_id via the explicit stage mapping table. We set type=opportunity so records appear in the Odoo pipeline kanban view alongside leads. Deal-specific custom fields migrate as additional columns on the opportunity record.
Flash Lead Sales
Pipeline Stage
Odoo CRM
crm.stage
lossyFlash Lead Sales custom pipeline stages (e.g., Lead, Qualified, Proposal, Negotiation, Won, Lost) require an explicit mapping table produced during discovery. Each source stage is assigned a target crm.stage record with matching name and probability percentage. Stage-specific automation rules in Flash Lead are documented but not migrated; Odoo Studio or server actions rebuild them post-migration. Odoo's stage is tied to a sales team (crm.team) so multi-pipeline accounts require one stage set per team.
Flash Lead Sales
Team Member
Odoo CRM
res.users
1:1Flash Lead Sales Team Members map to Odoo res.users by email address match. Role-based access (manager, agent) maps to Odoo's access rights groups: crm.group_sale_salesman for agents and crm.group_sale_salesman_all_leads or custom groups for managers. The migration holds any owner assignments where the Odoo User does not yet exist in a reconciliation queue until the admin provisions the user.
Flash Lead Sales
Tag
Odoo CRM
crm.tag
lossyFlash Lead Sales tags (applied without limit to leads) migrate to Odoo crm.tag records. Tags are created on demand during the import phase and linked to crm.lead records via crm.lead.tag_ids. If tag names exceed Odoo's 32-character name limit, we truncate to 32 characters and append a hash suffix for uniqueness. Tags are not the same as Odoo's internal note flags; they map to the dedicated tag model.
Flash Lead Sales
Lead Source
Odoo CRM
utm.source (custom field)
lossyFlash Lead Sales Lead Sources (Facebook, Instagram, Referral, Purchased List, etc.) map to Odoo's utm.source model. We create utm.source records for each distinct source label and link them to crm.lead via the medium_id or a custom source field. If Odoo's utm module is not installed, we create a custom selection field on crm.lead to preserve the source attribution.
Flash Lead Sales
Invoice
Odoo CRM
sale.order
1:1Flash Lead Sales Pro Invoice records (amount, status, related deal) map to Odoo sale.order. The deal reference in Flash Lead is resolved to the corresponding Odoo opportunity record, and the sale.order origin field references the source deal ID for audit traceability. Invoice PDF attachments migrate as ir.attachment records linked to the sale.order. Odoo's invoice generation (account.move) is a separate accounting step not covered under CRM migration scope.
Flash Lead Sales
Social Message Thread
Odoo CRM
mail.message (ir.attachment)
1:1Flash Lead Sales social message threads (Facebook Messenger and Instagram DMs) export as flat text logs attached to the contact record. We import the full conversation text as an ir.attachment linked to the res.partner record in Odoo. Thread structure, branching, timestamps, and read receipts are not preserved in the export from Flash Lead; we note this limitation in the migration report so the customer can assess business-critical conversation history requirements.
Flash Lead Sales
Automations
Odoo CRM
None — not migrated
1:1Flash Lead Sales automation rules (lead assignment, reassignment, email sequences) are stored as platform configuration and do not export as data. We document every active automation in the migration handoff inventory with its trigger, conditions, and actions. Odoo Studio, Server Actions, and Automated Actions are the rebuild targets. Sequence-based outreach rebuilds use Odoo CRM Live Chat or a third-party sales engagement integration. This object is listed for transparency; no records are migrated.
Flash Lead Sales
Reports and Dashboards
Odoo CRM
None — not migrated
1:1Flash Lead Sales reporting dashboards and sales activity insights are platform-generated views with no export capability. We deliver a written inventory of the reports the customer relies on, including the record counts, filter sets, and date ranges shown in each dashboard, so the customer's Odoo admin or implementation partner can recreate them in Odoo Reporting. This object is listed for transparency; no records are migrated.

Flash Lead Sales gotchas
No documented public API for programmatic export
Lead stage history stored as activity log rather than discrete fields
Custom pipeline stages require explicit mapping per account
Social message threads export as flat text without thread structure
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 coordination
We audit the Flash Lead Sales account for record volumes (Leads, Contacts, Companies, Deals, Team Members, Tags, Sources), pipeline stage names, active automation rules, and social message thread existence. We guide the customer through running the platform's built-in CSV export for all available objects and request a supplemental activity log export for stage history reconstruction. We confirm the Odoo edition (Community free, Standard ~$20/user/mo, or Enterprise) and whether the utm module is installed for source tracking. The discovery output is a written migration scope and a data completeness checklist signed off by the customer.
Stage mapping and Odoo schema configuration
We extract the complete list of Flash Lead Sales pipeline stages and produce a mapping table assigning each to an Odoo crm.stage record. Stage names, probabilities, and order are configured in Odoo via Settings > CRM > Stages. If multiple sales teams exist in Flash Lead, we create corresponding crm.team records in Odoo and assign stage sets per team. We activate the lead stage in Odoo Settings if the scope includes pre-qualification leads. Custom fields required for tags, source attribution, and stage history are created via Odoo Studio or as ir.model.fields before any import begins.
Sandbox validation and deduplication planning
We run a first-pass import into an Odoo test database using a representative sample of Flash Lead data. We validate that stage mappings apply correctly, owner assignments resolve by email match, tag creation succeeds without duplicates, and source attribution links to utm.source records. Deduplication rules (matching on email for contacts, name for companies) are configured in Odoo Settings before production migration. The customer's admin reviews the test import and signs off on the mapping before production migration is scheduled.
Owner reconciliation and User provisioning
We extract every distinct Flash Lead Sales Team Member referenced on Leads, Contacts, Companies, and Deals and match by email against the Odoo res.users table. Any Flash Lead owner without a matching Odoo user goes to a reconciliation queue for the customer's admin to provision. Owner assignments cannot be resolved after import without re-processing, so this step must complete before the production migration phase begins.
Production migration in dependency order
We run production migration in record-dependency order: res.partner company records (from Flash Lead Companies), res.partner contact records (from Flash Lead Contacts with parent_id resolved to company partner), crm.lead records with stage_id resolved and type set to lead or opportunity based on the customer's scope, crm.tag records created on demand and linked via crm.lead.tag_ids, utm.source records created and linked, sale.order records from Flash Lead Invoices, ir.attachment records for social message text logs, and stage_history__c field populated from the activity log. Each phase emits a row-count reconciliation report before the next phase begins.
Cutover, delta sync, and automation handoff
We freeze Flash Lead Sales writes during cutover, run a final delta import of any records modified during the migration window, then enable Odoo as the system of record. We deliver the automation and workflow inventory document listing every Flash Lead automation rule with its trigger, conditions, and actions, plus a recommended Odoo rebuild approach using Server Actions or Automated Actions. We do not rebuild automations inside the migration scope. We provide a one-week hypercare window for reconciliation issues and deliver the final migration report including record counts, unmapped fields, and data quality flags.
