Overview
Moving from Snovio to Odoo CRM is a shift from a B2B outbound and lead-gen tool to a full business management suite with CRM capabilities. Snovio structures data around Prospects and Recipients in outreach Campaigns; Odoo CRM structures data around Leads, Contacts, and Opportunities in pipeline stages. We resolve that schema difference by mapping Snovio Prospects to Odoo Leads (for unqualified records) and Contacts (for qualified records), and Snovio pipeline Deals to Odoo Opportunities with stage probabilities. Engagement history migrates as Notes and Tasks against the parent contact or opportunity, but Snovio's unreliable open and click tracking data (pixel-based, blocked by many email clients) is flagged and not carried forward as analytics. Email sequences and drip campaigns do not migrate to Odoo automations because the paradigms are different; we deliver a written campaign inventory for your admin to rebuild. Odoo's single-pipeline constraint is a known limitation that teams should evaluate before migration if multi-line-of-business pipelines are required.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a Snovio 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.
Snovio
Prospect
Odoo CRM
Lead or Contact (split required)
1:manySnovio Prospects with no deal association or early-stage outreach status map to Odoo Lead. Prospects with an associated pipeline Deal and explicit company affiliation map to Odoo Contact linked to a Company (Odoo partner). The split rule is computed during migration using the Snovio deal_id field: if deal_id is populated, the record becomes a Contact under the mapped Company; if deal_id is null, it becomes a Lead. We preserve the original Snovio prospect_id as a custom field snv_prospect_id__c on both Lead and Contact for reconciliation.
Snovio
Company
Odoo CRM
Company (res.partner)
1:1Snovio Company fields (name, domain, industry, size) map to Odoo res.partner records with type=contact for individual contacts and type=company for organization records. The Snovio company domain becomes the partner's website field and serves as the dedupe key during import. We create company records before contact import so the Contact-to-Company lookup relationship is satisfied at insert time.
Snovio
Pipeline Deal
Odoo CRM
Opportunity (crm.lead)
1:1Snovio Deals map to Odoo crm.lead records with type=opportunity. Deal name becomes the opportunity name; deal amount maps to planned_revenue; deal stage maps to stage_id with stage probability set from Snovio stage metadata. Owner assignment maps via email match to Odoo res.users. Deals without a linked company create an opportunity with partner_id = null pending company assignment.
Snovio
Campaign
Odoo CRM
Tag (ir.module.category) or Pipeline Stage
lossySnovio Campaigns do not map to a single Odoo object because Odoo CRM does not have a native campaign concept for outbound sequencing. We map campaigns to Odoo Tags (crm.tag) on the Lead and Contact records, preserving campaign name and channel (email or LinkedIn) as tag metadata. If the customer uses Odoo Marketing Automation, we document the mapping to campaign model and recommend rebuilding Snovio email sequences as Odoo Marketing Automation actions. Active Snovio campaign status is not carried; all migrated leads are set to New status.
Snovio
Recipient
Odoo CRM
Lead or Contact
1:1Recipients (unique leads who received at least one email) map to the same Lead or Contact record as the Prospect split. We export recipient status (active, bounced, replied) and preserve it as a custom field snv_recipient_status__c. Engagement history (opens, clicks, replies, sentiment) is exported but flagged as unreliable per Snovio's own documentation; we carry the raw timestamp data as Notes rather than structured analytics.
Snovio
Campaign Statistics
Odoo CRM
Opportunity custom fields
lossySnovio campaign KPIs (delivered, bounced, opened, clicked, replied counts) are not native Odoo CRM metrics. We map these to custom Opportunity fields (delivered_count, bounced_count, opened_count, clicked_count, replied_count) as integer fields on crm.lead so the data is available for reporting even though Odoo has no native campaign statistics view. The customer can visualize these in Odoo Custom Reports or via a spreadsheet export.
Snovio
Email Account
Odoo CRM
Outgoing Mail Server (ir.mail_server)
lossySnovio connected mailboxes and warm-up configurations are documented as metadata rather than migrated as live credentials. We export the list of connected sender accounts, warm-up rotation settings, and daily warm-up volume as a JSON configuration file. The customer's admin re-creates the SMTP servers in Odoo Settings > Technical > Email > Outgoing Mail Servers using the same credentials. OAuth token migration is not supported by Snovio's API.
Snovio
Unibox Conversation
Odoo CRM
Lead/Contact messaging history (mail.message)
1:1Unibox reply metadata (sender email, timestamp, thread reference) migrates to Odoo mail.message records linked to the parent Lead or Contact via model and res_id. Full email body content is not migrated because threading context is not reliably extractable from Snovio's export. We carry the message subject, timestamp, and sender as a Note with a snv_unibox_ref__c external ID field. Customers who need full email threading should retain Snovio access or export email bodies manually.
Snovio
Custom Fields
Odoo CRM
Custom fields on Lead, Contact, Opportunity
lossySnovio custom fields on Prospects export as part of the Prospect schema export. We pre-create matching custom fields on Odoo crm.lead, res.partner, and crm.lead (opportunity) via Odoo Studio or direct XML-RPC field creation before data import. Field types are mapped: Snovio text to char, Snovio number to float, Snovio date to date, Snovio dropdown to selection, Snovio checkbox to boolean. Custom field API names prepend snv_ to avoid collisions.
Snovio
LinkedIn Automation Data
Odoo CRM
Contact Tags or Note
1:1LinkedIn message sequences and connection request records (available only on the $69/month add-on) export as structured metadata: LinkedIn profile URL, sequence step reached, connection status. We map these to Odoo Contact tags (linkedin_connected, linkedin_sequence_active) and a Note containing the LinkedIn profile URL and last activity timestamp. LinkedIn DMs do not migrate as Odoo records; the actual conversation content is not accessible via Snovio's export API.
Snovio
Owner
Odoo CRM
User (res.users)
1:1Snovio campaign owners and deal owners map to Odoo res.users by email match. We extract every distinct owner across Prospects, Deals, and Campaigns and resolve against the destination Odoo instance's user list. Owners without a matching Odoo user are held in a reconciliation queue for the admin to provision before record import. Inactive Snovio owners map to inactive Odoo users by default.
Snovio
Attachments
Odoo CRM
Not migrated
1:1File attachments to prospect profiles or campaign emails are not exposed via Snovio's documented export endpoints. We do not migrate attachments. Customers should download prospect-related files manually from Snovio before account cancellation and re-upload to Odoo via the portal or file management module. We provide a list of prospect IDs with attachment references as a separate download checklist.

Migration approach
Discovery and Snovio plan confirmation
We audit the source Snovio account across plan tier (Free/Starter/Pro/Custom), Prospect volume, Deal records, active campaigns, recipient lists, LinkedIn add-on usage, Unibox conversation volume, and custom field schema. We confirm export access (paid plan required) and extract a full field schema export alongside the data export. The discovery output is a written migration scope document listing every object that will migrate, every object that will be documented for rebuild, and the initial recipient-to-lead/contact split estimate based on deal association.
Odoo environment setup and schema design
We set up the destination Odoo CRM environment. This includes activating developer mode, creating custom fields (snv_prospect_id__c, snv_recipient_status__c, campaign KPI fields) on crm.lead and res.partner via Odoo Studio or direct XML-RPC, configuring pipeline stages to match Snovio deal stages, and provisioning tags for campaign and LinkedIn metadata. If the customer runs Odoo Enterprise with Odoo Studio, we configure field creation through the UI. If Community, we use the developer mode interface. Schema is validated in a staging environment before any production data moves.
Data extraction and cleaning
We export Snovio data via CSV on the paid plan or via the REST API for smaller datasets. Exports include Prospects with custom fields, Deals with stage and owner, Recipients with status, Campaign statistics, Email account metadata, and Unibox conversation references. We run deduplication against the prospect and recipient lists (Snovio allows duplicate emails across campaigns), flag records with missing required fields (name or email), and standardize date formats and phone number formatting to Odoo's expected input format. Cleaned data is staged as CSV and JSON for import.
Sandbox migration and reconciliation
We execute a full migration into the Odoo staging or sandbox environment using production-like record volumes. The customer's admin reconciles record counts (Prospects in vs Leads/Contacts out, Deals in vs Opportunities out), spot-checks 20-40 records for field-level accuracy, and reviews the campaign tag assignments and LinkedIn metadata placement. Any field mapping corrections, custom field additions, or stage name adjustments happen in staging before the production migration. This step prevents data correction workarounds in the live system.
Production migration in dependency order
We run production migration in record-dependency order: res.partner (Companies) first, crm.lead (Leads) for unassociated Prospects, res.partner (Contacts) for Prospects with deal associations, crm.lead (Opportunities) for Deals with owner and partner resolved, ir.mail_server configuration as documented metadata, crm.tag for campaign and LinkedIn tags, mail.message for Unibox conversation references, and finally Notes for engagement timestamp data and LinkedIn sequence metadata. Each phase emits a row-count reconciliation report before the next phase begins. Attachments are listed for manual re-upload by the customer.
Cutover, validation, and campaign rebuild handoff
We freeze Snovio writes during the cutover window, run a final delta migration of any records modified during migration, then set Odoo CRM as the system of record. We validate record counts, spot-check critical fields (email, company, deal amount, stage) on 10-20 percent of migrated records, and deliver the Campaign and Sequence Rebuild Inventory document to the customer's admin. The inventory lists every Snovio campaign with step count, timing, channel, and recommended Odoo Marketing Automation rebuild approach. We support a five-business-day hypercare window for reconciliation issues and do not handle ongoing Odoo configuration, training, or workflow rebuild as part of the standard migration scope.
