Overview
Moving from Listrak to Odoo CRM is a migration from a marketing automation platform to an open-source CRM, which means the data model shifts from a contact-centric, behavioral-event structure to a lead-and-opportunity-centric structure with activities attached to records. Listrak Contacts map directly to Odoo CRM Contacts; Listrak mobile subscribers require a text-formatted phone field in Odoo; Listrak Companies map to Odoo CRM Companies; and Listrak Deals map to Odoo CRM Opportunities. Suppression lists must load into Odoo before any active contact to prevent compliant opt-out records from receiving outbound messages. Journey Hub automations (cart abandonment, browse recovery, replenishment sequences) represent multi-step, multi-channel logic that does not export as a transferable object—we document every automation tree and map each step to an Odoo Action Rule or Server Action for the customer's admin to rebuild. We do not migrate Listrak email templates, forms, or landing pages as code; raw HTML exports require manual rebuild in Odoo's email template editor. Odoo CRM's Community edition is free; the cloud-hosted version with app bundles starts around $20 per user per month, making the platform significantly less expensive than Listrak's $250 per user per month starting tier for teams that need CRM without full marketing automation.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a Listrak 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.
Listrak
Contact
Odoo CRM
Contact
1:1Listrak Contacts map to Odoo CRM Contacts. The Listrak email address becomes the Contact email field (used as the primary identifier and dedupe key during import). Opt-in status and opt-in date migrate to a custom Boolean field and date field respectively. Lifecycle stage from Listrak maps to a custom selection field on Contact so that the customer's original stage taxonomy is preserved for reporting. Original Listrak contact_id is stored in a custom field for source-reference audit. Odoo's XML-RPC API is used for batch contact creation, with chunking to stay within Odoo's API rate limits.
Listrak
Mobile Subscriber
Odoo CRM
Contact
1:manyListrak mobile subscribers require special handling. Mobile numbers must import as text-formatted phone strings (not numeric-only strings) to preserve leading zeros and country codes. Opt-in date migrates to the same custom opt-in date field as email contacts. Acquisition keyword and campaign source data (tracked in Listrak's separate acquisition export) must be joined on mobile number and preserved as custom fields on the Odoo Contact. We validate that all mobile numbers are text type before loading and flag any records with ambiguous opt-in status for customer review before import.
Listrak
Company
Odoo CRM
Company
1:1Listrak Companies map to Odoo CRM Companies. The company name becomes the Company name field, and the Listrak domain field maps to the Company website field. Companies are created before Contacts so that the Contact-Company lookup relationship (Many2one field in Odoo) is satisfied at Contact import time. If a Listrak Contact has no associated Company, we create a Company record using the contact's email domain as a placeholder, with a flag marking it as a solo-contact company.
Listrak
Deal
Odoo CRM
Opportunity
1:1Listrak Deals map to Odoo CRM Opportunities. The Listrak dealstage maps to an Odoo stage within the configured sales pipeline, and the Listrak pipeline name maps to a separate Odoo sales team (crm.team) or a custom pipeline identifier field. Closed-Won and Closed-Lost reasons from Listrak custom fields map to Odoo Opportunity fields (win_reason, lost_reason custom fields). Expected revenue and quantity from Listrak Deals migrate to Odoo's expected_revenue and planned_revenue fields.
Listrak
Deal Stage
Odoo CRM
Opportunity Stage
lossyEach Listrak pipeline becomes a named Odoo sales team or a custom pipeline identifier field on Opportunity. Listrak stage names map to Odoo stage names in the same sequence. We configure stage probability percentages to match the customer's Listrak stage probabilities, using Odoo's stage configuration to set probability auto-update behavior per stage.
Listrak
Engagement: Email
Odoo CRM
Mail Message / Note
1:1Listrak email engagement history (sends, opens, clicks, bounces) migrates to Odoo CRM as mail.message records linked to the Contact via Odoo's mail.thread model. Each engagement type (sent, opened, clicked, bounced) is stored as a subtype and body text. Email content from Listrak's engagement export migrates as plain-text body in the mail.message. Odoo CRM does not have a native marketing email send function; the engagement history serves as an audit log rather than a campaign analytics dashboard.
Listrak
Engagement: Call
Odoo CRM
CRM Phone Call
1:1Listrak call engagements migrate to Odoo CRM Phone Call records linked to the Contact. Call duration, disposition, and recording URL (if available) migrate to custom fields on the phone call. Activity dates preserve the original Listrak call timestamp for timeline ordering. If Odoo VoIP integration is not active, call records function as logged activity entries.
Listrak
Engagement: Meeting
Odoo CRM
Calendar Event
1:1Listrak meeting engagements migrate to Odoo Calendar Events linked to the Contact. Start datetime, end datetime, location, and attendee list migrate. Attendees are resolved to Odoo Partner records and linked via EventRelation. Meeting body (notes, agenda) migrates as the event description field.
Listrak
Engagement: Task
Odoo CRM
Task
1:1Listrak task engagements (action items, reminders, to-dos) migrate to Odoo CRM Tasks linked to the Contact or Opportunity. Task status, priority, due date, and assigned user migrate with Odoo OwnerId resolved by email match against the Odoo User table. Any task assigned to a HubSpot owner without a matching Odoo user is placed in a reconciliation queue.
Listrak
Engagement: Note
Odoo CRM
Note
1:1Listrak note engagements migrate to Odoo Notes linked to the Contact, Company, or Opportunity via the generic attachement.model and attachment.res_id fields. Note body (rich text or plain text) migrates directly. Note author and timestamp are preserved.
Listrak
Suppression List
Odoo CRM
Contact (opt-out flag)
lossyListrak suppression and unsubscribe lists must load into Odoo before any active contact import to ensure opt-out compliance is maintained from day one. We load suppressions first, setting a custom opt_out field to True on each matching Contact record (or creating the Contact as suppressed if no active record exists). Odoo CRM does not have a native suppression list management UI; we configure a shared opt-out field and recommend a process for the admin to maintain it going forward.
Listrak
Segment (Audience)
Odoo CRM
Group / Tag
1:1Listrak audience segments filter by email behavior, SMS engagement, and channel subscription status. We translate each Listrak segment's filter logic into an Odoo-compatible domain expression or tag set. Segments that rely on real-time behavioral signals (opens in last 30 days, SMS clicks) cannot be represented as static Odoo Groups—these are documented with a recommendation to use Odoo Automated Actions triggered by mail.message events for dynamic re-evaluation. Static segments (based on opt-in date, acquisition source, or demographic fields) become Odoo Tags or Groups that are maintained manually post-migration.
Listrak
Journey Automation
Odoo CRM
Action Rule / Server Action (documented for rebuild)
lossyJourney Hub automations (cart abandonment, browse recovery, replenishment, win-back sequences) are not transferable objects. We deliver a written inventory of every active Journey: the trigger event, each condition branch, every time delay, and the full channel sequence (email step 1, SMS step 2, push step 3, for example). Each step is mapped to an equivalent Odoo Server Action or Automated Action, with the customer's Odoo admin or developer responsible for rebuild. The inventory includes trigger event mapping (Listrak event name to Odoo model and field), condition translation (Listrak filter operator to Odoo domain operator), and delay configuration (Listrak delay step to Odoo Automated Action scheduled delay).
Listrak
Email Template
Odoo CRM
Email Template (rebuild required)
lossyListrak email templates export as raw HTML or require manual rebuild in the destination platform's editor. We do not import raw HTML as Odoo email templates because rendering inconsistencies, embedded styles, and Listrak-specific variable syntax do not carry over cleanly. We deliver a template inventory documenting the subject line, from name, body structure, and dynamic field placeholders for each Listrak template so that the customer's Odoo admin rebuilds them using Odoo's QWeb-based email template editor with correct Mail Merge field syntax.
Listrak
Custom Properties
Odoo CRM
Custom Fields on Contact / Company / Opportunity
1:1Listrak custom contact properties that appear in the API export migrate to Odoo custom fields on the relevant model (res.partner for Contacts, crm.lead for Opportunities). We flag any custom fields that exist only in the Listrak UI and not in the API export, as these require the customer to export them manually via the Listrak UI or configure an API query for the specific field ID. Field type mapping: Listrak text becomes Odoo char; Listrak numeric becomes Odoo float or integer; Listrak date becomes Odoo date; Listrak boolean becomes Odoo boolean; Listrak multi-select becomes Odoo char (comma-separated) or many2many tags field.

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 Listrak portal audit
We audit the source Listrak portal across all contact types (email contacts, mobile subscribers), suppression lists, Companies, Deals, engagement history volume (emails, calls, meetings, tasks, notes), active Journey Hub automations, email template count, custom properties accessible via API, and nightly SFTP export configuration. We pair this with Odoo CRM edition selection: Odoo Community (free, self-hosted) for teams with technical capacity to manage their own instance; Odoo Online or Sh (cloud-hosted) for teams that need managed hosting with automatic backups. We also identify which Odoo apps are required (CRM only, CRM plus Sales, CRM plus Project, etc.) because Odoo pricing scales with the number of installed apps. The discovery output is a written migration scope document with record counts, automation inventory, and Odoo edition recommendation.
Data quality assessment and cleansing
We run a data quality report on Listrak exports to identify duplicate contact records (same email address with different name spellings), records with missing email addresses, records with ambiguous opt-in status (neither confirmed opted-in nor confirmed opted-out), and malformed phone numbers (numeric-only without country code). We provide the customer with a cleansing checklist and perform deduplication transforms before loading. Listrak's nightly SFTP export cadence means some behavioral data may be up to 24 hours stale at cutover; we schedule the final migration data pull to align with the nightly export window and capture any manual exports generated during the project.
Odoo schema design and custom field provisioning
We design the destination Odoo CRM schema before any data loads. This includes installing the required Odoo apps (CRM at minimum), creating custom fields on res.partner (Contact model) for opt-in date, original Listrak contact ID, lifecycle stage, and acquisition source, creating custom fields on crm.lead (Opportunity model) for win/loss reasons, and configuring Opportunity stages to match the customer's Listrak pipeline stages. If Odoo SMS is licensed, we configure the mobile field correctly. Odoo Community requires schema changes via developer mode or a module install; Odoo Online uses the Studio app or custom module upload. Schema changes are deployed and validated in the Odoo test database before production migration begins.
Suppression list load and opt-out flag configuration
We configure the opt-out custom field on Contact (a Boolean field set to True for suppressed records) and load suppression lists into Odoo before any active contact import. Suppressions load by matching on email address (and mobile number for SMS-suppressed records). Any suppression record that has no matching active Contact in the import file is created as a suppressed Contact placeholder so that the opt-out record exists in Odoo even if no active record was migrated. This sequencing is mandatory for compliance—it prevents any previously suppressed contact from receiving outbound messages from Odoo.
Active contact and company migration
We run the active contact migration in record-dependency order: Companies first (from Listrak Companies), then Contacts (with Company lookups resolved, opt-out flags set from the suppression load, and custom properties mapped to typed Odoo fields). The Listrak lifecycle stage is preserved in a custom selection field. Owner (sales rep) assignment migrates by resolving the Listrak owner email to an Odoo User record, with unresolved owners placed in a reconciliation queue for the customer's admin to provision. API chunking and retry logic handle Odoo's XML-RPC throughput limits for large datasets.
Opportunity and engagement history migration
Listrak Deals migrate to Odoo CRM Opportunities after Companies and Contacts are confirmed loaded (Opportunities require a Company lookup). Engagement history (email events, calls, meetings, tasks, notes) migrates after Opportunities, linked to the resolved Contact and Opportunity records. Engagement timestamps preserve the original Listrak event datetime for timeline accuracy. We use Odoo's mail.message model for email engagement records, the crm.phonecall model for calls, calendar.event for meetings, and project.task for tasks and notes. Each phase emits a row-count reconciliation report before the next begins.
Cutover, validation, and automation rebuild handoff
We freeze writes to Listrak during cutover, run a final delta migration of any records modified during the migration window, then enable Odoo CRM as the system of record. We deliver the Journey Hub automation inventory document covering every active Journey with trigger mapping, condition translation, and Odoo Server Action/Automated Action equivalent for the customer's admin to rebuild. We do not rebuild automations as functional Odoo code inside the migration scope; that is a separate engagement for the customer's Odoo partner or internal developer. We support a one-week hypercare window to resolve any reconciliation issues identified by the customer's sales team.
