Overview
Notifi is a field-service platform that conflates contact and company data into unified customer records and tracks every interaction as a job linked to a contact, with estimates and invoices embedded in the job workflow. Odoo CRM separates these concerns into crm.lead for lead/opportunity management, res.partner for contacts and companies (with address records held in a separate model), and sale.order for quotations — meaning Notifi's flat customer record must be split into Odoo's relational structure. We migrate Notifi customers into res.partner records, Notifi jobs into crm.lead with custom fields capturing job type, priority, scheduling date, and job-status, and Notifi estimates into sale.order quotations linked to the opportunity. Owner resolution runs against Odoo res.users by email so the user_id field populates automatically. Activity history (calls, meetings, notes) migrates as crm.activity records linked to the corresponding opportunity. We cannot migrate Notifi automations, routing rules, GPS tracking, or Quick Follow-up configurations — those require Odoo Studio or Python scripting on the destination side. API access for the migration itself uses XML-RPC on Odoo Community or the Odoo external API on Odoo Enterprise Custom plans.
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 Notifi 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.
Notifi
Customer
Odoo CRM
res.partner
1:1Notifi customers combine individual contact data and company data in a single record. FlitStack AI inspects the company_name field: if populated, creates two res.partner records — one with is_company=True for the organization and one for the individual contact — then links them via child_ids. If no company name exists, the record migrates as a personal res.partner with is_company=False.
Notifi
Customer
Odoo CRM
res.partner
1:1For Notifi customer records where no separate company entity is identified, the contact maps 1:1 to a res.partner record with name, email, phone, street, city, state, and zip preserved, and any contact-specific custom fields are transferred as Odoo custom fields on the partner. The partner's type defaults to 'contact', active is set to true, and the original Notifi created_at timestamp is stored as the partner's create_date.
Notifi
Job
Odoo CRM
crm.lead
1:1Notifi jobs have no direct lead/opportunity distinction. FlitStack maps every Notifi job to a crm.lead record, populating name from job_title, contact_id from the resolved res.partner, and stage_id by value-mapping the Notifi job status to an Odoo crm_case_stage record. Job type, job priority, scheduling date, and customer job number migrate as custom fields on the crm.lead.
Notifi
Job Pipeline Stage
Odoo CRM
crm_case_stage
1:1Notifi job statuses (e.g., New, Scheduled, In Progress, Completed, Cancelled) are mapped value-by-value to Odoo CRM stage records. Each Odoo stage requires a name, sequence order, and optional probability percentage — we apply defaults based on typical Notifi stage semantics unless your Odoo instance has pre-existing stages configured.
Notifi
Estimate
Odoo CRM
sale.order
1:1Notifi estimates map to Odoo sale.order records in the 'draft' state. The estimate number becomes the order name, the linked Notifi job becomes the crm.lead via campaign_id, and line items (product or service description, quantity, unit price) map to sale.order.line records. Totals and tax calculations are preserved as order amount and are recalculated by Odoo on first save.
Notifi
Invoice
Odoo CRM
account.move
1:1Notifi invoices do not map directly to a CRM object. If you are running the Odoo Accounting app alongside Odoo CRM, invoices can be migrated as account.move records in the 'posted' state, linked to the originating sale.order. If you are only running the CRM app, FlitStack preserves invoice data as a custom field block on the crm.lead for reference and notes that Odoo Accounting must be activated to use account.move.
Notifi
Call Activity
Odoo CRM
crm.activity
1:1Notifi call logs linked to a job migrate as crm.activity records with activity_type_id set to 'Call', the original call date preserved as date_deadline, and a note field populated from the Notifi call summary or duration. The activity is linked to the corresponding crm.lead via res_id on the activity record.
Notifi
Meeting
Odoo CRM
crm.activity
1:1Notifi scheduled meetings map to crm.activity records with activity_type_id set to 'Meeting', preserving the original scheduled datetime as both date_deadline and the Odoo calendar event start time. Meeting location and attendee notes from Notifi are stored in the activity's note field.
Notifi
Note
Odoo CRM
crm.activity
1:1Notifi notes attached to a job become crm.activity records with activity_type_id set to 'Full Day' or a configurable default type, carrying the note body in the description field and linked to the crm.lead. Timestamps are preserved from the Notifi create_date.
Notifi
Owner / User
Odoo CRM
res.users
1:1Notifi job owner IDs are resolved by email match against Odoo res.users. If a Notifi owner email matches an existing Odoo user, the crm.lead.user_id is set directly. If no match exists, the owner is flagged before migration — your team must create the Odoo user first, or records land under a designated fallback user until the mapping is corrected.
Notifi
Attachment / File
Odoo CRM
ir.attachment
1:1Notifi file attachments on job records are re-uploaded to Odoo as ir.attachment records, with res_model set to 'crm.lead', res_id pointing to the migrated crm.lead ID, and the original filename and MIME type preserved. File content is downloaded from Notifi's storage and uploaded to Odoo's ir_attachment table via XML-RPC or API depending on Odoo edition.
Notifi
Custom Field
Odoo CRM
ir.model.fields (x_*)
1:1Notifi custom properties on contacts, jobs, and estimates — such as property type, service frequency, technician assignment, or billing method — are mapped to Odoo custom fields on res.partner (for contact-level properties) or crm.lead (for job-level properties). Odoo field names use the x_ prefix for non-Enterprise installs; field types are inferred from Notifi's property data type (text, number, date, or selection).

Migration approach
Extract and analyze Notifi data model
FlitStack AI connects to your Notifi account via scoped API read access to enumerate all custom properties on contacts, jobs, and estimates. We export a complete object inventory — standard fields, custom fields, and any custom objects — before writing a single record to Odoo. This inventory drives the field-mapping plan and identifies any Notifi data with no Odoo equivalent that will require custom fields or a rebuild reference document.
Validate Odoo destination schema and owner resolution
We inspect your Odoo CRM instance (via XML-RPC for Community or external API for Enterprise Custom Plan) to list existing crm_case_stage records, res.partner fields, and sale.order configuration. Owner resolution runs against Odoo res.users by email — any Notifi owner whose email does not match an existing Odoo user is flagged in a pre-migration report. Your team creates the missing Odoo users before the migration run, or records land under a designated fallback user and are reassigned post-migration.
Sequence the migration respecting Odoo foreign-key dependencies
Odoo enforces referential integrity: res.partner records must exist before crm.lead records can reference them via partner_id, and crm.lead records must exist before sale.order records can reference them via campaign_id. FlitStack AI sequences the migration in the correct dependency order — res.partner (contacts and companies, split from Notifi customers) first, then crm.lead (jobs mapped to leads/opportunities with stage and owner mapping), then sale.order (estimates mapped to quotations linked to opportunities). Activities and attachments migrate after their parent records are confirmed in Odoo.
Run a sample migration with field-level diff
A representative slice of records — typically 100–500 covering contacts, jobs, estimates, and a sample of activities — migrates first. FlitStack AI generates a field-level diff report comparing source values from Notifi against destination values in Odoo for each migrated record. You review stage mapping accuracy, owner resolution results, and estimate line item integrity before the full run commits. This step surfaces value-mapping gaps (e.g., a Notifi job status that was not included in the stage plan) before they affect a production migration.
Execute full migration with delta-pickup window
After sample approval, the full migration runs. A delta-pickup window of 24–48 hours captures any Notifi records created or modified during the migration cutover — including new jobs, updated statuses, and newly sent estimates — so Odoo reflects Notifi's final state at go-live. All operations are logged to an audit trail, and one-click rollback reverts the Odoo database to its pre-migration snapshot if reconciliation uncovers data integrity issues. Post-migration, your team runs a reconciliation check comparing Notifi record counts against Odoo crm.lead, res.partner, and sale.order counts.
