Overview
Salesflo Engage structures its data around field-force operations: contacts, scheduled and unscheduled visits, dynamic survey responses, location tagging, and task assignments tied to retail or distributor check-ins. It does not expose a public REST API in the same way as mainstream CRMs — data export relies on CSV downloads or a partner-facing XML-RPC interface, which FlitStack AI uses to read and translate your records. Odoo CRM models contacts as res.partner, leads and opportunities as crm.lead, and activities as mail.activity. Field-force visits and survey data have no native Odoo equivalent and require custom fields on the crm.lead and res.partner records. The migration carries all standard contact fields, visit metadata, location coordinates, and owner assignments into Odoo, while workflows, automation rules, and survey logic are documented for manual rebuild in Odoo's Automate menu. Our API integration with Odoo's xmlrpc endpoint handles upserts and field-level validation before committing the full dataset. During extraction we normalise date formats to ISO 8601, enforce UTF‑8 encoding, and deduplicate contacts by email. Each record's original creation timestamp is preserved in a custom datetime field (x_studio_original_create_date) on res.partner for reporting continuity. Owner assignments are matched by email to Odoo's res.users, and any unmatched owners are flagged for manual resolution before the final commit.
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 Salesflo Engage 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.
Salesflo Engage
Contact
Odoo CRM
res.partner
1:1Salesflo Engage contacts map to Odoo res.partner records. The partner is created with type='contact'. Phone, email, address, and job title fields migrate directly. Field-force attributes (visit frequency, last visit) are stored as custom fields on res.partner. We also map the original Salesflo Engage contact ID to a custom field (x_studio_source_id) for later reference and deduplication.
Salesflo Engage
Company (parent organization)
Odoo CRM
res.partner (company type)
1:1When Salesflo Engage stores a company-level profile separate from individual contacts, it maps to a res.partner with is_company=True. Child contacts link via parent_id. Multi-company hierarchies in Salesflo Engage map to Odoo's parent_id chain on res.partner. The company name is stored in the name field; additional company metadata such as industry or size can be captured in custom fields if present in the source.
Salesflo Engage
Scheduled Visit
Odoo CRM
mail.activity (type=meeting)
1:1Salesflo Engage scheduled visits become Odoo mail.activity records of type 'meeting' attached to the corresponding crm.lead or res.partner. Original scheduled date/time, assigned user, and location address are preserved in activity fields. Visits without a matched Odoo user are assigned to a fallback owner and flagged for review.
Salesflo Engage
Unscheduled Visit / Form Submission
Odoo CRM
mail.activity (type=note) + custom fields
1:1Ad-hoc visit records and dynamic survey submissions in Salesflo Engage have no direct Odoo equivalent. They migrate as mail.activity records of type 'note' with the submission data stored in custom body text fields and response values mapped to custom char or selection fields on crm.lead.
Salesflo Engage
Task Assignment
Odoo CRM
project.task (optional)
1:1Salesflo Engage task assignments that relate to field work (store visits, shelf checks) can map to project.task if your Odoo instance has the Project app installed. Otherwise they migrate as crm.lead activities with a custom task_description field. We configure this during the pre-migration schema review.
Salesflo Engage
Location Tag / GPS Record
Odoo CRM
Custom fields on res.partner
1:1Salesflo Engage GPS coordinates and location tags are preserved as custom float fields x_studio_latitude and x_studio_longitude on res.partner. A x_studio_location_name custom char field captures the location tag text. These fields are created in Odoo before migration begins. They are indexed to support basic geo‑queries, and can be visualized on a map widget if your Odoo theme includes a geo‑map component.
Salesflo Engage
User / Salesperson
Odoo CRM
res.users
1:1Salesflo Engage user accounts are matched to Odoo res.users by email address. Active users in Salesflo Engage become active users in Odoo. Inactive accounts are migrated as inactive Odoo users. Owner assignment on records resolves via this user map. If a Salesflo Engage user has no matching Odoo account, the record is flagged for admin review before final assignment.
Salesflo Engage
Dynamic Survey / Form Data
Odoo CRM
Custom fields on crm.lead
1:1Each distinct Salesflo Engage form or survey becomes one or more custom fields on the crm.lead model. Field type is inferred from the response data type (char, text, selection, integer). Forms with conditional logic are flattened into individual fields; branching logic is documented for manual Odoo configuration.
Salesflo Engage
Tag / Label
Odoo CRM
crm.lead.tag (or custom tag model)
1:1Contact and visit tags in Salesflo Engage map to Odoo's crm.lead.tag records via the res.partner.category and crm.lead.tag many2many relations. Tags are created on the Odoo side before migration and linked by name. If a tag name already exists in Odoo, it is reused; otherwise a new crm.lead.tag record is created and associated with the relevant contact or lead records.
Salesflo Engage
Workflow / Automation Rule
Odoo CRM
N/A
1:1Salesflo Engage workflow rules and task automations do not migrate. We export a JSON blueprint of every active workflow showing its trigger conditions, action steps, and field dependencies. Your Odoo administrator uses this as a rebuild reference in Odoo's Automate menu (server actions, automated actions, and base.automation rules).

API access for Community is gated behind the Custom Plan
Pair-specific challenges
Migration approach
Pre-migration schema review and Odoo field creation
We audit your Salesflo Engage data model — contacts, visit types, form schemas, and custom fields — and produce a schema mapping document specifying every Odoo custom field to be created. Your Odoo admin creates the fields (x_studio_* custom fields on res.partner and crm.lead) before we begin. We also verify that your Odoo plan permits External API access and confirm user account matching by email.
Extract and normalize Salesflo Engage data
We extract contacts, companies, visit logs, form submissions, and task records via CSV export or XML-RPC partner endpoint. All files are normalized for UTF-8 encoding, date formats are standardized to ISO 8601, and multi-value fields (tags, GPS coordinates) are parsed into discrete columns. Duplicates are identified using contact email as the primary key. We also log extraction statistics and flag any malformed rows for manual review before proceeding to the next phase.
Run a sample migration with field-level diff
A representative slice — typically 100–500 records spanning contacts, visits, form submissions, and tasks — migrates first into your Odoo staging instance. We generate a field-level diff showing source values against Odoo field values so you can verify GPS field population, activity attachment, and owner resolution before the full run commits. The diff includes a side‑by‑side table and a summary of any mismatched or missing fields, enabling quick corrective adjustments.
Full migration with delta-pickup cutover
The full dataset migrates via Odoo's xmlrpc API in batched commits. A delta-pickup window of 24–48 hours captures any records created or modified in Salesflo Engage during the cutover window. Audit logs capture every operation (create, update, link) with source record IDs. If reconciliation reveals missing records, the delta run fills the gap without re-processing unchanged data and ensures data consistency.
Post-migration validation and rollback preparation
We run a record-count reconciliation against the source CSV totals and validate custom field population on a random sample of 5% of records. Owner resolution rates and activity attachment rates are reported. A full database backup is captured before go-live, and one-click rollback reverts to the pre-migration state if validation fails. We deliver a workflow blueprint JSON for your Odoo admin to rebuild automations in Odoo's Automate menu.
