Overview
Moving from noCRM.io to Odoo CRM is a model restructure, not a record copy. noCRM.io organizes everything around Leads and Pipeline Steps with no Contacts or Accounts object; Odoo CRM uses Leads linked to Partners (Contacts/Companies) attached to Opportunities. We resolve that structural split during scoping, map each noCRM Pipeline to an Odoo crm.team with configured stage probabilities, and preserve Prospecting List membership as Odoo Segment membership. Activity logs (comments, status changes, step transitions) migrate as mail.message records linked to the crm.lead. Automations, Sequences, Custom Actions, and WhatsApp integration configuration do not transfer; we deliver a written inventory of each for Odoo Studio or a developer rebuild. Quotes and Invoices (Dream-tier documents) migrate separately as linked sale.order or account.move records if the Odoo instance includes Sales or Accounting apps.
Every standard and custom field arrives verified.
AI proposes the map; you confirm before any record moves.
Parent–child, lookups, and ownership stay linked.
Calls, emails, meetings — with original timestamps.
Documents, uploads, and inline notes move with the record.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a noCRM.io 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.
noCRM.io
Lead
Odoo CRM
crm.lead
1:1noCRM.io Leads map to Odoo crm.lead records. We preserve status (Won, Lost, Cancelled, To-Do, Standby) in the Odoo stage_id and probability fields, and map lead tags to crm.tag records via crm.lead.tag.rel. Custom Predefined Fields from Admin > Sales process > Predefined Fields migrate as typed ir.model.fields on crm.lead (char, text, integer, float, date, selection, many2one). The noCRM lead identifier is preserved in an external_id field for audit trail.
noCRM.io
Pipeline
Odoo CRM
crm.team
1:1noCRM Pipelines map to Odoo crm.team records. Each Pipeline Step in noCRM maps to an Odoo stage within that team, with stage sequence order and probability percentages preserved. Starter noCRM accounts (1 pipeline) map to a single crm.team; Expert and Dream accounts map to multiple crm.team records. We configure the Odoo sales team in the CRM settings before any lead import begins.
noCRM.io
Pipeline Step
Odoo CRM
stage
lossyEach noCRM Pipeline Step becomes an Odoo CRM stage with a matching name, sequence, and probability percentage. Step-transition history from noCRM (timestamps and step names) is stored as a custom JSON field on crm.lead or as crm.stage.history records depending on Odoo version. The stage configuration is deployed to Odoo Sandbox before production migration.
noCRM.io
Prospecting List
Odoo CRM
crm.tag or crm.segment
1:manynoCRM Prospecting Lists are exported as static membership lists with lead references. We map each Prospecting List to an Odoo crm.tag of type 'list' plus a crm.segment record that holds the list name and member Lead IDs. If Odoo Marketing is not installed, Prospecting Lists become crm.tag records that can be filtered in Odoo CRM's kanban view. Large list counts may require manual verification post-migration.
noCRM.io
Tag
Odoo CRM
crm.tag
1:1Tags applied to noCRM.io Leads migrate as crm.tag records linked via crm.lead.tag.rel. Multi-value tags on a single Lead create multiple crm.tag records on the same crm.lead. Tag labels are preserved as-is. Odoo's tag model is simpler than noCRM's; any tag color or icon metadata is documented for manual Odoo Studio configuration.
noCRM.io
Comments / Activity Log
Odoo CRM
mail.message
1:1noCRM.io lead activity logs (comments, status changes, step transitions, manual entries) migrate as mail.message records linked to the crm.lead via model='crm.lead' and res_id pointing to the Odoo lead ID. Message subtype (note, communication, stage_change) is inferred from the noCRM log type. Timestamps are preserved from the source. Attachments from comments migrate as ir.attachment records linked to the mail.message.
noCRM.io
User / Team Member
Odoo CRM
res.users
1:1noCRM.io Users assigned to Leads map to Odoo res.users records. We resolve by email match against the destination Odoo instance. Any noCRM User without a matching Odoo User goes to a reconciliation queue for the customer's admin to provision before record import resumes. Role and permission structures do not transfer directly and must be reconfigured in Odoo Access Rights or via Odoo Studio.
noCRM.io
Custom Predefined Fields
Odoo CRM
ir.model.field (crm.lead)
lossyPredefined Fields configured under Admin > Sales process > Predefined Fields in noCRM are extracted with their field types (text, number, date, selection, checkbox). Each is created as a custom ir.model.field on crm.lead in Odoo before the lead import phase. Field labels are mapped from the noCRM admin label to the Odoo field name. Any selection (dropdown) options are created as selection key-value pairs on the Odoo field definition.
noCRM.io
Attachment
Odoo CRM
ir.attachment
1:1Files attached to noCRM.io Leads are exported as binary blobs and reattached in Odoo as ir.attachment records linked to the crm.lead via res_model='crm.lead' and res_id pointing to the migrated lead. File names are preserved. Odoo 18 enforces stricter attachment size limits (25 MB default); files exceeding this are flagged during scoping and split or linked externally as URLs. Attachments stored in noCRM's cloud are downloaded during the extraction phase.
noCRM.io
Statistics & Performance Data
Odoo CRM
Custom reporting models
1:1noCRM.io Statistics exports (company performance, team activity, forecasts, lead performance per Prospecting List) are exported as filtered Excel or JSON reports. Aggregate metrics that cannot map to a standard Odoo field are stored in a custom ir.config_parameter or a dedicated report table. Odoo does not have an equivalent native Statistics module; the customer may need Odoo Reporting or a BI tool to replicate dashboards. We document all exported statistics and their Odoo equivalents in the handoff document.
noCRM.io
Quotes and Invoices (Dream tier)
Odoo CRM
sale.order or account.move
1:1Quotes and Invoices created via noCRM.io's Dream-tier integration are separate linked documents stored outside the standard lead export. We extract them from noCRM's document store, map Quote fields to Odoo sale.order and Invoice fields to account.move, and link them to the migrated crm.lead or res.partner. This requires the Odoo instance to have Sales or Accounting apps installed. We scope this as a separate document migration step if applicable.
noCRM.io
Custom Actions
Odoo CRM
Documentation for manual rebuild
lossynoCRM.io Custom Actions (account-specific menu items on lead cards that trigger workflows) have no standard schema and do not transfer as code. We document every Custom Action by name, trigger condition, and intended outcome in the migration handoff. Odoo Studio or a Python developer rebuilds these as Odoo Automated Actions (ir.cron + model methods) or as Studio button actions on the crm.lead form view.

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 scoping
We audit the source noCRM.io account across plan tier (Starter/Expert/Dream), pipeline count, step definitions, custom Predefined Field configurations, Prospecting Lists, tag taxonomy, activity log volume, and attachment count. We pair this with an Odoo edition assessment: Community (free CRM, self-hosted or Odoo.sh), Odoo Online (cloud, per-user paid apps), or Odoo Enterprise (Studio, priority support). The discovery output is a written migration scope document specifying record counts per object, any Starter-tier cap risks, and an Odoo edition recommendation.
Odoo schema setup and field type mapping
We design the destination schema in Odoo before any data moves. This includes creating custom ir.model.field records on crm.lead for every noCRM.io Predefined Field, mapping Pipeline Steps to Odoo stage records with correct probability and sequence values, configuring crm.team records for each noCRM Pipeline, and setting up crm.tag taxonomy to mirror the source tag set. Schema is deployed to an Odoo Sandbox or staging instance for validation before production migration begins.
Data extraction from noCRM.io
We extract data from noCRM.io using a hybrid approach: admin panel bulk export for Leads, Tags, and Pipeline data; REST API calls for activity logs, comments, and custom field definitions; and direct file download for attachments. We paginate API requests within the 2,000/day limit, back off on 429 responses, and run extraction over multiple days for large accounts. All extracted data is staged in a migration workspace with SHA-256 checksums for integrity verification before transformation begins.
Data transformation and sandbox migration
We transform noCRM.io records into Odoo-compatible XML or CSV format, applying the mapping rules defined during schema design. Prospecting List membership is resolved and linked to crm.segment or crm.tag records. Activity logs are serialized as mail.message XML records. The full migration runs against an Odoo Sandbox or staging database. The customer's Odoo administrator reconciles record counts, spot-checks 25-50 migrated records against the source, and signs off the mapping before production migration.
User provisioning and owner resolution
We extract every distinct noCRM.io User referenced on Lead, Pipeline, or activity records and match by email against the destination Odoo instance's res.users table. Any noCRM User without a matching Odoo User is held in a reconciliation queue. The customer's Odoo admin provisions missing Users and assigns appropriate access rights. This step gates the production migration because crm.lead.user_id (the responsible salesperson) is a required field for proper pipeline assignment in Odoo.
Production migration in dependency order
We run production migration in record-dependency order: Users (manually provisioned, validated), crm.team and stage configuration (applied from scoped schema), crm.lead records (with stage_id, tag_ids, user_id, and custom field values resolved), crm.tag records (linked via crm.lead.tag.rel), crm.segment records (Prospecting List membership), mail.message activity history, ir.attachment files, and custom reporting data. Each phase emits a row-count reconciliation report before the next phase begins. We use Odoo's XML-RPC API or direct PostgreSQL batch inserts for large volumes.
Cutover, validation, and workflow handoff
We freeze writes to noCRM.io during the cutover window, run a final delta migration of any records modified since the initial extraction, then set Odoo as the system of record. We validate data integrity against the noCRM export checksum report and deliver the migration handoff document, which includes the Custom Actions inventory, tag taxonomy mapping, Odoo stage configuration summary, and the Prospecting List rebuild instructions. We do not rebuild noCRM.io automations, Sequences, or Custom Actions as Odoo Studio flows inside the migration scope; those are documented for the customer's Odoo admin or a separate Odoo development engagement.
