Overview
Moving from Promio to Odoo CRM means leaving a managed-service marketing stack for an open-source ERP platform that bundles CRM, sales pipeline, accounting, and operations in one suite. Promio has no public API, so every extraction requires a negotiated CSV export coordinated on the customer's behalf before we begin transformation. We map Promio Leads to Odoo Leads (unqualified prospects) and Odoo Contacts (qualified buyers attached to an Account), preserve Promio's customer lifecycle segmentation (New, Active, At-Risk, Lapsed, Lost) as custom Contact fields, and move Campaign names and performance attribution data into the Odoo CRM pipeline. Call recordings, Promio-hosted landing pages, and linked Google/Bing ad credentials do not migrate. We deliver those as separate rebuild requirements so your team knows exactly what to address post-cutover. Automations, drip sequences, and multi-stage lifecycle campaigns require a separate rebuild engagement; we do not migrate workflows as code.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a Promio 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.
Promio
Lead
Odoo CRM
Lead
1:1Promio Leads map directly to Odoo CRM Lead. We preserve Promio's lead source attribution (Google, Bing, Direct) in Odoo Lead's medium_id or a custom field, and the original campaign name in a custom field for reconciliation. Any Promio custom properties discovered in the CSV export headers become Odoo custom fields via Odoo Studio before import. Promio lifecycle_stage is held at the Contact level, not Lead, so unqualified leads retain no lifecycle value until they are converted to a Contact.
Promio
Customer
Odoo CRM
Contact + Account
1:manyPromio Customers require a split: Odoo requires an Account (the company) before a Contact can be created. We extract the customer's company name from Promio as the Account, create the Account first, then create the Contact linked to that Account. Promio's lifecycle stage (New, Active, At-Risk, Lapsed, Lost) migrates as a custom selection field promio_lifecycle_stage__c on the Contact. Promio's reputation scores (aggregated ratings from third-party review sites) migrate as custom float fields on the Contact for post-migration reporting.
Promio
Customer lifecycle stage
Odoo CRM
Contact custom field
lossyPromio classifies customers into five lifecycle segments stored as custom properties. We map these to a custom selection field on Odoo Contact. The values (New, Active, At-Risk, Lapsed, Lost) become Odoo selection options. We do not create a separate Odoo model for lifecycle tracking because Odoo natively handles customer stage through tags, customer_rank, and custom fields rather than a dedicated stage object. The customer's sales team uses this field for segmentation in Odoo's kanban and list views.
Promio
Campaign
Odoo CRM
CRM Campaign
1:1Promio Campaigns map to Odoo CRM Campaign (crm.campaign model). Campaign names, associated ad budgets, and performance metrics (impressions, clicks, conversions) migrate as standard Odoo Campaign fields where applicable or custom fields where Odoo's native Campaign model does not cover Promio's attribution metrics. Budget allocation data from Promio becomes a custom monetary field on the Odoo Campaign. Note that Promio's bundled Google Ads and Bing Ads budget data is not the same as Odoo CRM Campaign budget tracking; we flag this distinction in the scope document.
Promio
Advertising Account
Odoo CRM
Reference data (out-of-scope for CRM)
1:1Promio links Google Ads and Bing Ads accounts through its managed-service credential layer. These credentials do not transfer with the CRM migration because they are stored at the ad network level, not in Promio's CRM database. We extract the current campaign structure, budget allocations, and performance history from Promio's export as a reference document and deliver it to the customer for re-onboarding into Google Ads and Bing directly. This is documented as a separate workstream with zero CRM migration cost.
Promio
Call recording metadata
Odoo CRM
Custom field on Contact (recording URL only)
lossyPromio's call-tracking feature stores audio recordings on Promio's own hosting infrastructure and does not include audio files in CSV exports. We cannot migrate call recordings. We do migrate the call metadata (phone number, duration, call disposition, recording URL pointing to Promio-hosted file) as custom fields on the Contact. The customer must download all required recordings from Promio's interface before the migration cutover date. Post-cutover, those URLs will be dead links unless the customer has preserved the audio files independently.
Promio
Landing page
Odoo CRM
Rebuild requirements document
1:1Promio landing pages are served from promio.com subdomains and are not exportable as HTML, redirect-configurable assets, or portable form definitions. We inventory all active Promio landing pages during the extraction phase and deliver a page-by-page rebuild requirements list specifying the page URL, form fields, lead-source attribution logic, and any A/B test variant information available in Promio. The customer's web team or marketing agency rebuilds these in Odoo's website builder or on the customer's own CMS post-migration.
Promio
Reputation / Review data
Odoo CRM
Custom fields on Contact
1:1Promio aggregates review monitoring data (overall rating, review site URLs, reputation score) from third-party aggregators into its dashboard. We extract the aggregated scores and source URLs as custom fields on the Odoo Contact record: promio_rating__c (float), promio_review_url__c (char), and promio_review_source__c (selection). These allow the customer to see historical reputation data in Odoo without requiring a separate review monitoring tool, though Odoo's native review management is limited.
Promio
Custom Properties (Lead)
Odoo CRM
Custom fields on Lead
lossyPromio allows custom fields on Leads tied to its campaign attribution system. These fields are discovered during the extraction phase by inspecting CSV headers. We create equivalent custom fields via Odoo Studio on the crm.lead model before import. Custom field types (char, float, selection, date) are inferred from the CSV column data and matched to the closest Odoo field type. Any Promio custom fields added after the export date will not be captured unless a second export is run; we recommend scheduling the final export as close to cutover as possible.
Promio
Custom Properties (Customer)
Odoo CRM
Custom fields on Contact
lossySame approach as Lead custom properties. We inspect Promio's Customer CSV headers for any custom columns beyond the standard fields, create matching custom fields on the Odoo res.partner model (Contact context), and map values during the transformation phase. Encoding issues (special characters in Promio property names) are normalized to Odoo's field naming conventions (lowercase with underscores).
Promio
Campaign attribution data
Odoo CRM
Custom fields on Opportunity
1:1Promio ties every customer record to a campaign source (Google Ads, Bing Ads, Organic, Direct) as part of its revenue attribution layer. We preserve this as a custom field x_promio_source__c on Odoo CRM Opportunity. The original Promio campaign name also migrates as x_promio_campaign__c on the Opportunity. This allows the customer's Odoo sales team to report on revenue by original marketing source without relying on Promio's attribution dashboard.
Promio
Owner (User)
Odoo CRM
User
1:1Promio Owner records (sales reps and service crew members) map to Odoo User records by email match. Any Promio Owner without a matching Odoo User is placed in a reconciliation queue for the customer's admin to provision before record import resumes. Promio team structure (if used) maps to Odoo crm_team records; we create one team per Promio owner group during the schema design phase.

Pair-specific challenges
Migration approach
Discovery and export request submission
We audit the Promio portal for record counts (Leads, Customers, Campaigns), active landing pages, active call recordings, custom property headers in current exports, and active lifecycle or drip campaign configurations. We submit a formal data export request to Promio's customer support or account management team on the customer's behalf. During this phase we also confirm the destination Odoo version, edition (Standard at $31/user/month is sufficient for most Promio migrations), and whether the customer is using Odoo.sh cloud, on-premise, or a third-party hosting provider. The discovery output is a written scope document and a Promio export deadline.
Schema design and custom field creation in Odoo
We design the Odoo CRM schema before any data loads. This includes creating custom fields via Odoo Studio: promio_lifecycle_stage__c (selection), promio_rating__c (float), promio_review_url__c (char), x_promio_source__c (selection), x_promio_campaign__c (char), and any custom fields discovered in the Promio CSV headers. We also configure the crm_case_section (sales team) structure to match the customer's Promio owner groups, and set up the Lead-Contact-Account routing so that Leads with a valid company name auto-convert to Contact plus Account during import. Schema is validated in an Odoo sandbox before production.
Promio export validation and transformation
We receive the Promio CSV export and validate completeness against the record counts from discovery. We check for missing columns, truncated values, encoding issues, and any Promio custom properties not present in the initial export. If records are missing or headers are incomplete, we re-engage Promio support. We then run the transformation: Leads cleaned and de-duplicated, Customers split into Account then Contact with AccountId resolved, lifecycle stages mapped to promio_lifecycle_stage__c, campaign attribution data mapped to Opportunity custom fields, and call metadata preserved as Contact custom fields. The transformation output is a set of Odoo-ready CSV files and a mapping audit log.
Sandbox migration and reconciliation
We run a full migration into the customer's Odoo sandbox environment using production-like data volume. The customer's Odoo administrator reconciles record counts (Leads in, Accounts in, Contacts in, Campaigns in), spot-checks twenty to thirty random records against the Promio source data, and validates that custom field values are correctly populated. Any mapping corrections, missing fields, or data quality issues are addressed in the sandbox before production migration begins. The customer signs off on the sandbox results before we proceed.
Production migration in dependency order
We run the production migration in record-dependency order: Accounts first (from Promio Customers where company name is present), then Contacts (linked to AccountId with lifecycle stage as custom field), then Leads (for records without a clear company association), then Opportunities (with x_promio_source__c and x_promio_campaign__c populated), then CRM Campaigns, then custom fields on all objects. Each phase emits a row-count reconciliation report before the next phase begins. Call recording URLs migrate as custom fields on Contact; actual audio files are not migrated and are noted as a pre-flight gap. Landing pages are excluded from data migration and delivered as a rebuild requirements document.
Cutover, validation, and automation rebuild handoff
We freeze the Promio export as of the cutover date and run a final delta migration of any records modified during the migration window. We enable Odoo as the system of record and deliver the full migration artifact package: reconciled record counts, field mapping documentation, landing page rebuild requirements list, call recording download reminder, and Promio workflow/automation inventory. We do not rebuild Promio automations (drip sequences, lifecycle campaigns) as Odoo automated actions or server actions within the migration scope. That work is a separate engagement or an internal admin task. We support a five-business-day hypercare window for reconciliation issues raised by the customer's team.
