Overview
Netmera is a mobile-first customer engagement and CDP platform built around Users, Segments, and Journeys; Odoo CRM is an open-source ERP-adjacent CRM built around Contacts, Companies, and Opportunities. These are structurally different platforms: Netmera organizes engagement around behavioral profiles and audience rules, while Odoo CRM organizes around sales pipelines and account hierarchies. We map Netmera Users to Odoo Contacts, segment membership criteria to Odoo Tags and custom Stage fields, profile attributes to Contact custom fields, and behavioral event histories to Odoo activity records. Push tokens, widget assets, and journey flow logic do not migrate by platform constraint. We deliver a written inventory of all Netmera Journeys, Campaigns, and Segments for the customer's admin to rebuild inside Odoo CRM's modular automation framework.
Every standard and custom field arrives verified.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a Netmera 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.
Netmera
User (End User)
Odoo CRM
Contact
1:1Netmera Users map directly to Odoo CRM Contacts. The Netmera user identifier becomes an external ID field on the Odoo Contact for future sync reference. Standard profile fields (name, email, phone, country) map to Odoo Contact name, email, phone, and country fields. Any Netmera user with an associated Company ID in Netmera maps to an Odoo Company/Account lookup on the Contact. Netmera's anonymous or tagless user captures may result in Contacts without names; we flag these for the customer to enrich post-migration.
Netmera
Company
Odoo CRM
Company / Account
1:1Netmera Companies (if present in the customer's instance) map to Odoo CRM Companies. The company name becomes the Odoo Company name, and domain fields map to Website. We create the Company record before Contact import to satisfy the partner_id lookup on Contact.
Netmera
Segment
Odoo CRM
Tag + Custom Stage Field
1:manyNetmera Segments define audience rules based on profile attributes and behavioral conditions. Each Segment becomes an Odoo Tag on the Contact record. The segment membership criteria (rule logic) are documented in a written segment inventory that we deliver to the customer. For segments used as campaign targeting units, we also create a corresponding Odoo CRM Stage value in a custom pipeline field so that marketing and sales can replicate the audience logic. Dynamic segments that auto-update require a frozen rule capture at scoping time.
Netmera
Profile Attribute (custom)
Odoo CRM
Custom Field on Contact
lossyNetmera custom profile attributes (beyond defaults like name, email, phone) map to Odoo CRM Contact custom fields created via Odoo Studio before migration. We match attribute data types: string attributes map to Char or Text, numeric attributes map to Float or Integer, date attributes map to Date, and boolean attributes map to Boolean. Multi-value or list-type profile attributes map to Odoo Tags or Char fields with semicolon-delimited values. Attribute names are preserved with a netmera_ prefix in the field technical name.
Netmera
Device Information
Odoo CRM
Custom Field on Contact
lossyNetmera Device records capture OS type, app version, push token, and device model per user. Push tokens do not transfer across providers and must be regenerated in Odoo's push context. We migrate OS type, app version, and device model to Contact custom fields for record completeness. Push token data is excluded from migration with a documented note that the customer must implement a re-opt-in or silent token refresh campaign for push delivery to function post-migration.
Netmera
Campaign (Push, In-App, SMS, Email)
Odoo CRM
CRM Campaign + Note
1:1Netmera campaign records (name, channel, content, schedule, performance metrics) map to Odoo CRM Campaign records and to Note records on the Contact for historical reference. We migrate campaign metadata and content text; creative assets (images under 1MB, video under 12MB per Netmera limits) are flagged for manual upload into Odoo. Campaign targeting segments are translated to the corresponding Odoo Tags using the segment inventory from the mapping step.
Netmera
Journey
Odoo CRM
Written Inventory (no data migration)
1:1Netmera Journeys define multi-step user-entry flows with channel steps and conversion events. Odoo CRM has no native journey orchestration equivalent. We do not migrate Journeys as data records. We deliver a written inventory of every active Netmera Journey listing entry conditions, step sequence, channel assignments, and conversion event definitions, with Odoo CRM automated action equivalents documented for the customer's admin to rebuild in Odoo Studio. Note that Netmera's conversion counting is user-based (one conversion per user per journey), which differs from event-occurrence counting in Odoo; we flag this KPI discrepancy in the inventory.
Netmera
Event (Behavioral)
Odoo CRM
Activity (Task, Note)
1:1Netmera SDK-tracked Events (page views, custom actions, trigger events) map to Odoo CRM Activity records and Notes on the Contact. Each unique event name becomes an activity type or a Note with the event timestamp preserved. Event property keys and values migrate as structured Note body text or custom Contact activity fields. For high-frequency events (e.g., page_view), we consolidate by date and event name to avoid overwhelming Odoo's activity timeline. The customer defines the consolidation threshold during scoping.
Netmera
Widget
Odoo CRM
Written Inventory (no data migration)
lossyNetmera Widgets (tooltips, pop-ups, in-app message designs) are visual assets tied to Netmera's rendering engine and are not transferable to Odoo CRM. We deliver a written inventory of all active Widgets with screenshots, content text, and trigger conditions so the customer's admin can rebuild them as Odoo email templates, SMS templates, or custom in-app notification configurations. Assets exceeding Netmera's 1MB image or 12MB video limits are flagged for re-encoding before use.
Netmera
Tag
Odoo CRM
Tag
1:1Netmera Tags used for labeling users map directly to Odoo CRM Tags. Tag membership associations migrate as Contact-Tag relations. Some Netmera users may be captured without tags (a platform feature); these untagged contacts are flagged for the customer to review post-migration.
Netmera
Survey and Feedback Response
Odoo CRM
Note on Contact
1:1Netmera survey questions and response records map to Odoo CRM Note records attached to the Contact. Survey question text becomes the Note title; response values become the Note body in structured text. Survey display logic and trigger conditions are platform-configured and do not migrate; we document these in the written inventory for manual rebuild in Odoo.
Netmera
Owner
Odoo CRM
User
1:1Netmera Owners map to Odoo CRM Users. We resolve owners by email match against the destination Odoo instance's User table. Any Netmera Owner without a matching Odoo User is held in a reconciliation queue for the customer's admin to provision before Contact import resumes.

Gotchas + challenges
Platform-specific issues from each side, plus the pair-specific challenges that don't show up on either platform's page on its own.
Netmera gotchas
Segment-based export is the primary data extraction method
Push tokens are device-bound and non-transferable
Widget assets have hard file size limits
Journey conversion counting is user-based, not event-based
GDPR data processor role complicates EU data exports
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 Netmera portal audit
We audit the customer's Netmera portal to establish the migration baseline. This includes counting total Users, Segments, Companies, Campaigns, Journeys, and custom profile attributes. We identify the behavioral event schema by sampling event records to understand event names, property keys, and data types. We review any active GDPR data processor agreements and identify whether EU end-user data is in scope. We also identify push token volumes and app-user activity levels to scope the re-opt-in campaign for push delivery restoration. The discovery output is a written migration scope document with a record count breakdown and a preliminary object mapping draft.
Segment rule scoping and freeze
We work with the customer's Netmera admin to define the full-coverage segment rule set. Since Netmera has no bulk raw-user export, every migration payload must be built from segment exports. We define one or more segment rules that together capture the entire user base, run test exports to validate coverage against the total user count, and freeze the segment rule definitions at this point. Any dynamic segment that auto-updates is converted to a static snapshot definition. This step is the most critical in the migration and must be completed before any data extraction begins.
Odoo CRM schema configuration
We configure the destination Odoo CRM instance before any data import. This includes creating custom fields on Contact for Netmera profile attributes and device data (via Odoo Studio), configuring Odoo Tags to replicate Netmera segment membership, setting up CRM pipeline stages that reflect the customer's deal process, and provisioning any required Odoo Users to match Netmera Owner records. If Odoo ERP modules (Accounting, Inventory) are in scope alongside CRM, we coordinate the Company configuration across modules at this stage. All Odoo configuration is validated in a staging environment before production migration begins.
Owner reconciliation and GDPR compliance confirmation
We extract every distinct Netmera Owner and map them to Odoo CRM Users by email match. Owners without a matching Odoo User are placed in a reconciliation queue for the customer to provision. Simultaneously, we confirm the customer's legal authority to export EU end-user data under GDPR, referencing the Netmera Data Processing Agreement and the customer's role as data controller. Migration cannot proceed past this step until both the owner reconciliation queue is cleared and GDPR authorization is confirmed in writing.
Data extraction, transformation, and Odoo import
We execute the Netmera segment exports per the frozen rule set and transform the extracted data to Odoo CSV import format. The import sequence follows Odoo's dependency order: Companies first (to satisfy partner_id lookups on Contacts), then Contacts (with external IDs, custom fields, Tags, and Owner assignments resolved), then Activities and Notes from event history (consolidated by date and event name per the scoping threshold), then Campaign metadata linked to Contacts. We use Odoo's xmlrpc API for direct record insertion or CSV import via the web interface depending on record volume. Each phase emits a row-count reconciliation report before the next phase begins.
Written inventory delivery and post-migration handoff
We deliver the written inventory of all Netmera Journeys, Campaigns, Segments, and Widgets to the customer's admin team. This document includes entry conditions, step sequences, channel assignments, conversion event definitions, and Odoo CRM equivalents for manual rebuild. We support a one-week hypercare window to resolve any post-import data quality issues raised by the Odoo CRM users. Push token refresh and app user re-opt-in campaigns are outside the migration scope and are flagged for the customer's product and marketing team to plan. Workflows, automations, and custom Odoo Studio configurations are not built as part of the migration; these are separate engagements.
