Overview
Moving from Livespace CRM to Odoo CRM is a consolidation from a sales-process-focused CRM into a modular ERP where CRM is one app among dozens. Livespace organises Deals inside Spaces that model each team's non-linear sales process; Odoo CRM uses a standard Kanban pipeline with Lead-to-Opportunity conversion as its primary workflow. We map Livespace Persons to Odoo Contacts, Companies to Companies, and Deals to Opportunities with stage probability derived from each Deal's progress inside its Space. Livespace's SHA1-signed session tokens require refresh before every batch; we handle this with per-request re-authentication and 401-triggered retry logic. Custom additional fields on Persons, Companies, and Deals are schema-discovered via the Get custom fields endpoint before any transformation runs. Email sequences and file attachments have no API in Livespace and do not migrate; we document both as manual-rebuild items in the handoff package. Odoo's per-user, per-app pricing model means the CRM app alone costs $24 per user per month, but teams migrating from Livespace Growth or Professional+ often add Odoo Accounting, Inventory, or Project modules in the same migration, which can reduce total platform spend compared to Livespace's per-seat CRM-only model.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a Livespace 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.
Livespace CRM
Person (Contact)
Odoo CRM
Contact
1:1Livespace Persons map to Odoo CRM Contacts. Standard fields (name, email, phone, address) migrate 1:1. Custom additional fields on the Person record are schema-discovered via the Get custom fields endpoint before transformation, then created as equivalent custom fields on the Odoo res.partner model via Odoo Studio. Lifecycle stage values stored as picklist selections migrate to a custom contact field in Odoo.
Livespace CRM
Company
Odoo CRM
Company
1:1Livespace Companies map to Odoo CRM Companies (also res.partner with is_company=True). Company-to-Person associations are preserved as the partner_id link on the Contact record. The Livespace company domain becomes the Website field in Odoo and is used as a dedupe key during import to prevent duplicate company records.
Livespace CRM
Deal
Odoo CRM
Opportunity
1:1Livespace Deals map to Odoo CRM Opportunities. The Deal's assigned Space determines which Odoo pipeline stage it maps to; if Livespace uses multiple Spaces, we flatten them into a single Odoo pipeline with stage names derived from the most commonly used Space process steps. Deal value, close date, owner, and custom deal fields migrate directly. Closed-Won and Closed-Lost reasons from Livespace custom fields migrate to Odoo's Lost Reason and Stage fields.
Livespace CRM
Space
Odoo CRM
Pipeline + Stage
lossyLivespace Spaces define separate working environments and process models. Odoo CRM uses a single pipeline with configurable Stages. We flatten multiple Spaces into one Odoo pipeline, mapping each Space's process steps to Odoo stage names in the sequence order. Probability percentages are computed from the average position of Deals within each Space's process.
Livespace CRM
Task
Odoo CRM
Task
1:1Livespace Tasks linked to Deals migrate as Odoo CRM Tasks attached to the corresponding Opportunity via the res_model and res_id context fields. Task status (open/completed), due date, body text, and assignee resolve from the Livespace hubspot_owner_id to the Odoo res.users record by email match. Tasks linked to Persons migrate as Tasks on the Contact record.
Livespace CRM
User
Odoo CRM
User
1:1Livespace Users are matched to Odoo res.users by email address. Any Livespace Owner with no corresponding Odoo User is flagged in a reconciliation queue for the customer's admin to provision before the migration proceeds. Team membership is preserved as Odoo Sales Team membership on the User record.
Livespace CRM
Team
Odoo CRM
Sales Team
1:1Livespace Teams map to Odoo CRM Sales Teams (crm.team model). Team-to-User memberships migrate as team membership records in Odoo. If the destination Odoo setup uses a single sales team, team assignments are flattened to individual User records.
Livespace CRM
Contact Group
Odoo CRM
Tag
1:1Livespace Contact Groups (static segment lists) migrate to Odoo CRM Tags on the Contact record via the mail.activity.mixin model. Group membership is written as individual tag assignments per Contact. Dynamic groups that rely on filter rules cannot be reconstructed automatically and are documented as Odoo Segment criteria for the admin to configure.
Livespace CRM
Source
Odoo CRM
Custom Field
1:1Livespace Lead Sources (web form, referral, event, etc.) are exposed via the source list API. We map source values as a custom Char or Selection field on the Odoo Contact record. If the destination Odoo instance uses the CRM referral tracking module, source values can alternatively map to the campaign_id field for attribution reporting.
Livespace CRM
Custom Fields (Persons, Companies, Deals)
Odoo CRM
Custom Fields (res.partner, crm.lead)
lossyLivespace custom additional and hidden fields vary per account and are discovered via the Get custom fields endpoint before any transformation runs. We create matching custom fields on the Odoo res.partner model (for Person and Company fields) and crm.lead model (for Deal fields) via Odoo Studio. Picklist values are created as Selection options; date fields are normalised to the Odoo datetime format with UTC timezone handling.
Livespace CRM
Attachment
Odoo CRM
none
1:1Livespace does not expose file attachments via its public REST API. Attachments on Deals and Persons must be downloaded manually via the Livespace application UI or exported through its manual data export tool before migration begins. We flag this as a required pre-migration manual step in the runbook and exclude attachment records from the API-driven migration scope. Odoo's filestore remains empty for attachment content from Livespace.
Livespace CRM
Email Sequence
Odoo CRM
none
1:1Livespace's email sequence builder exposes no public API endpoints. Sequence membership, step status, and timing rules cannot be read programmatically. We document the full sequence configuration (step order, delay, template, trigger condition) in a written summary delivered alongside the migration so the customer's admin can manually rebuild using Odoo Mass Mailing, CRM Mail Automation, or a third-party sales engagement tool post-migration.

Livespace CRM gotchas
API requires rotating session tokens with SHA1 signing
Attachment files are not exposed via the public API
Email sequences have no API — automation data is not migratable programmatically
Custom field schema differs per account and requires pre-migration schema discovery
Duplicate detection only available on Automation tier and above
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
Scoping and plan tier confirmation
We audit the source Livespace account: plan tier (confirming Automation or above for API access), record counts across Persons, Companies, Deals, Tasks, Contact Groups, and Sources, and a review of active email sequences and Deal Space configurations. We also confirm the destination Odoo instance (cloud-hosted or self-hosted Community/Enterprise), available Odoo apps, and existing user accounts. The output is a written migration scope document with record-count estimates and a confirmation that the source account has API access.
Custom field schema discovery and transform design
We call the Livespace Get custom fields endpoint to retrieve the full schema for Persons, Companies, and Deals before any data extraction begins. We map each custom field to an equivalent Odoo field type (Char, Text, Integer, Float, Selection, Date, Datetime) and pre-create all custom fields on the Odoo res.partner and crm.lead models via Odoo Studio or XML-RPC write. Picklist values are pre-created as Selection options. This schema design is validated against the Odoo destination in a staging pass before production migration begins.
Data extraction with per-batch SHA1 session refresh
We extract all Persons, Companies, Deals, Tasks, Contact Groups, and Source records from Livespace via its REST API. Every batch request is preceded by a fresh authentication call to obtain a new Auth Token and Session ID signed with SHA1. If a 401 response is received mid-batch, we re-authenticate and retry the batch without duplicating previously processed records. All custom field values are captured in raw form alongside standard fields. Attachments are flagged as manual-export items in the runbook; the customer downloads these via the Livespace UI before the production migration window.
Staging migration and Odoo schema validation
We run a full migration into the customer's Odoo staging or sandbox environment using production-like record volumes. The Odoo destination schema (custom fields, pipeline stages, Sales Team structure, picklist values) is validated end-to-end. The customer's admin reviews 25-50 spot-check records against the Livespace source and confirms the mapping is correct before we proceed to production. Any field type mismatches, picklist gaps, or owner resolution failures are corrected here.
Owner reconciliation and User provisioning
We extract every distinct Livespace Owner referenced on Deals and Tasks and match by email against the Odoo res.users table. Any Owner without a matching Odoo User is placed in a reconciliation queue. The customer's Odoo admin provisions the missing Users before the production migration resumes. Migration cannot proceed past this step because Odoo Opportunity and Task records require a valid res.users OwnerId reference at insert time.
Production migration in dependency order
We run production migration in this order: Companies (res.partner is_company records first as the dedupe anchor), then Persons (Contacts with partner_id resolved to the parent Company), then Sales Teams and Users (for owner lookups), then Opportunities (with partner_id, user_id, team_id, and stage_id resolved), then Tasks (with res_model and res_id pointing to the migrated Opportunity or Contact). Each phase emits a row-count reconciliation report before the next phase begins. Any Deals without a linked Person are held for the secondary orphaned-Deal pass after the Contact migration is confirmed complete.
Cutover, delta sync, and automation handoff
We freeze Writes in Livespace during the cutover window, run a final delta migration of any records modified since the initial extract, then confirm Odoo as the system of record. We deliver the written inventory of Livespace Space process logic, email sequences, and attachment download status. Odoo automations and pipeline stage rules are not built inside the migration scope; we document the recommended Odoo CRM Automation actions for each Livespace Space process step. We provide a one-week hypercare window for reconciliation issues raised during the first sales-team validation pass.
