Overview

What this migration involves

Moving from Streak to Odoo CRM is a structural migration that also represents a full context switch: Streak delivers its CRM entirely inside Gmail as a Chrome extension, while Odoo CRM is a standalone web application that is one module of a modular ERP suite. The primary migration challenge is resolving the Streak Box record — which bundles an email thread, contact data, stage history, and custom fields into one Gmail-native object — into Odoo CRM's separate Lead, Contact (Partner), and Opportunity objects. We extract Box metadata and thread associations during the discovery phase, design the Odoo pipeline configuration (stages as kanban columns), and map Box custom properties to Odoo's ir.model.data field definitions before import. We do not migrate Streak Workflows, Snippets, or Mail Merge Campaigns; we deliver a written inventory of these for the customer's admin to rebuild in Odoo's built-in automation studio or through a certified Odoo partner. Teams switching to Odoo CRM are often attracted by the ERP adjacency — the ability to connect CRM data to accounting, inventory, and project modules — but should understand that Odoo's after-sales support receives consistent criticism in user reviews, and that the CRM module alone does not include the advanced sales engagement cadence features that Streak's Mail Merge provides.

Why teams make this switch

Two sides of the same decision

Leaving

Streak logo

Streak

What's pushing teams away

  • Gmail-only limitation is a hard wall — teams that need Outlook support, a standalone web dashboard, or mobile apps beyond the Gmail mobile interface must find another CRM entirely.
  • Limited automation and reporting compared to standalone CRMs frustrates growing teams; advanced pipeline analytics, custom dashboards, and multi-step workflows are gated behind Pro+ or unavailable.
  • The 2024–2025 removal of the free CRM tier and Solo plan triggered churn; users who relied on the free tier now face $49/user/month with reduced feature scope for the price.
  • Streak does not scale gracefully past 15 reps — shared pipeline visibility, role-based permissions, and data validation are Enterprise-only, pushing larger teams toward HubSpot, Salesforce, or Pipedrive.
  • Integration ecosystem is narrow; teams needing native connections to Slack, Zapier-heavy workflows, or ERP backends find Streak's available integrations insufficient.

Choosing

Odoo CRM logo

Odoo CRM

What's pulling them in

  • Teams choose Odoo CRM for its modular architecture — one base install with one-click app additions means they can adopt CRM alone and add accounting, inventory, or sales later as the business grows.
  • Small businesses pick Odoo because the Community edition is free and open-source, with no per-user or contact limits, allowing full evaluation before committing to a paid Enterprise tier.
  • The drag-and-drop Kanban pipeline and AI lead scoring are highlighted across G2 reviews as concrete features that make lead management faster and more visual than spreadsheet-based workflows.
  • Odoo's native integration with email, live chat, SMS, VoIP, and WhatsApp means inbound leads from multiple channels feed into a single pipeline without third-party middleware.
  • Companies in retail, supply chain, and construction value that Odoo's CRM module shares the same PostgreSQL database and UI as its ERP modules, eliminating data silos between sales and operations.

Object mapping

How Streak objects map to Odoo CRM

Each row shows how a Streak 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.

Streak

Box

maps to

Odoo CRM

crm.lead (Lead and Opportunity)

1:many
Fully supported

Streak's Box is the primary CRM record, bundling the email thread, contact associations, stage history, and custom fields into one object. We split each Box into an Odoo crm.lead record. If the Box represents an unqualified prospect (early pipeline stage), it remains as an Odoo Lead. If the Box represents a qualified opportunity (later stage, associated with a known deal value), we convert it to an Opportunity in Odoo's CRM pipeline. We preserve the original Box ID as an external identifier (x_streak_box_id) on the Odoo crm.lead for traceability and re-import verification. The Box's stage history maps to Odoo's lead history tracking (mail.message records on the crm.lead) rather than a separate stage history table.

Streak

Pipeline

maps to

Odoo CRM

crm.lead Stage (stage_id)

lossy
Fully supported

Streak Pipelines define the workflow stages a Box moves through. Each Odoo CRM pipeline is represented by a stage sequence on cdoo.crm.lead model. We create Odoo CRM stages that match Streak's pipeline stage names and ordering. If the source account has multiple Streak pipelines (one per product line or sales process), we replicate them as separate Odoo stage sequences within a single crm.lead pipeline or as separate CRM teams in Odoo. Stage probabilities from Streak (if configured) map to Odoo's probability field on crm.lead, and closed-won / closed-lost states map to the corresponding Odoo stage state.

Streak

Contact

maps to

Odoo CRM

res.partner

1:1
Fully supported

Streak Contacts (pulled from Gmail and stored alongside Boxes) map to Odoo res.partner records. We extract contact name, email address, phone, company affiliation, and any custom contact properties. Gmail contact associations are preserved as a note on the res.partner record referencing the source Gmail contact ID. Companies associated with Streak Contacts map to separate res.partner records of type 'company' with individual contacts linked via the child_ids relationship. The primary contact on a Box becomes the res.partner record; additional shared contacts on the Box are created as separate res.partner records and linked to the Box's crm.lead via a many2many relation.

Streak

Tasks

maps to

Odoo CRM

crm.lead.task or mail.activity

1:1
Mapping required

Streak Box-level tasks map to Odoo crm.lead tasks (crm.activity or ir.model.data tasks). Streak tasks are flat — no subtasks or dependencies — and lack date-based ordering. We map assignee, due date, task title, and completion status to Odoo's mail.activity model. If Odoo CRM is configured with the Tasks app enabled, Box tasks migrate to the Tasks module linked to the crm.lead record. We flag any Box tasks that reference a Gmail attachment (file stored in Gmail) for manual relinking post-migration because Gmail file IDs are not accessible outside the source Gmail account.

Streak

Snippets

maps to

Odoo CRM

Email Templates (mail.template)

1:1
Mapping required

Streak Snippets are templated email text blocks with merge variables (e.g., {{contact.first_name}}). We export snippet content and merge variable syntax. Odoo uses Jinja-style template variables ({{object.partner_id.name}}) inside mail.template records. We map Streak snippet content to Odoo email templates, transforming merge field syntax from Streak's format to Odoo's format. Variable naming conventions differ between platforms, so we document the mapping table in the handoff deliverable. Note that Snippets are content templates only; they do not include scheduling or sequence logic, which resides in Streak's Mail Merge Campaign feature.

Streak

Mail Merge Campaigns

maps to

Odoo CRM

Email Campaigns (utm.campaign) + Email Templates

1:1
Mapping required

Streak Mail Merge campaigns store recipient lists, email templates, send history, and open/reply tracking data. We export campaign metadata (name, send date, send volume) and send logs as a CSV attachment to an Odoo note on the corresponding crm.lead records. Open tracking metrics and reply rates are Streak-specific; we import these as custom fields on crm.lead (x_streak_open_rate, x_streak_reply_rate) as reference data. Odoo does not have a native sales engagement cadence feature equivalent to Streak Mail Merge; the customer rebuilds outreach sequences in a dedicated sales engagement tool (such as Mailchimp, Lemlist, or Lavender) or through Odoo's email marketing module. We do not migrate Mail Merge sequences as code.

Streak

Tags

maps to

Odoo CRM

crm.tag

1:1
Fully supported

Streak Tags are flat labels applied to Boxes for filtering. We preserve all tag names and associations as Odoo crm.tag records linked to crm.lead via a many2many field. Tags with no associated Boxes are included as empty tag records for reconstruction in the destination. Odoo CRM's tag model is a simple shared tag pool across all leads, not per-pipeline like Streak, so we consolidate tags across pipelines during mapping.

Streak

Custom Box Properties

maps to

Odoo CRM

Custom Fields on crm.lead (ir.model.fields)

lossy
Mapping required

Streak custom properties (dropdowns, text fields, dates, numbers, checkboxes) vary per pipeline and per Box. We discover the full property schema per pipeline during the discovery audit, then create equivalent custom fields in Odoo using Odoo Studio (or via XML data if a custom module is deployed). Odoo field types are mapped: Streak text -> char or text, Streak number -> float or integer, Streak date -> date, Streak checkbox -> boolean, Streak dropdown -> selection or many2one. Per-pipeline custom properties require per-pipeline Odoo field creation; if two pipelines share a custom property with the same name but different value sets (e.g., a dropdown with different options per pipeline), we map them to a single Odoo field with the superset of options and flag the discrepancy in the handoff document.

Streak

Attachments

maps to

Odoo CRM

ir.attachment

1:1
Mapping required

File attachments stored inside Box threads are referenced by Gmail file ID. We export the file URL, filename, size, and attachment date. File content download requires the source Gmail account to remain active and accessible. Attachments that originated from within the Gmail thread migrate as Odoo ir.attachment records linked to the corresponding crm.lead. We flag any Box attachments that were Gmail-native files (Google Drive links, Google Docs) as external URLs in a note field rather than downloadable files, since Google Drive file access requires OAuth tokens outside FlitStack AI scope.

Streak

Team Members / Users

maps to

Odoo CRM

res.users

1:1
Mapping required

Streak User records (email, name, role, permissions level) map to Odoo res.users. We resolve owners by email match. Shared pipeline access (Pro tier or above) maps to Odoo's internal user access controls — Odoo does not have a shared/private pipeline distinction at the same level as Streak; pipeline visibility is controlled at the record level via Odoo's access rights model. Any archived Streak users are created in Odoo as inactive users so their Box ownership records can be mapped without data loss.

Streak

Box Stage History

maps to

Odoo CRM

mail.message on crm.lead

1:1
Fully supported

Streak preserves the chronological stage changes a Box has moved through, including the date and owner at each stage. We extract this history as a set of mail.message records attached to the migrated crm.lead, with each message recording the old stage, new stage, date, and responsible user. This preserves the pipeline audit trail inside Odoo's native activity and message thread, allowing the customer's sales team to view the full stage history without leaving the crm.lead record.

Streak

Pipeline Permissions (Enterprise)

maps to

Odoo CRM

res.groups

1:1
Fully supported

Streak Enterprise tier includes custom roles and data validation rules. Odoo models access control through res.groups (security groups) assigned to modules. We extract Streak role definitions and permission scopes and map them to Odoo's nearest equivalent security groups (CRM / Sales / Administrator). Enterprise-specific data validation rules in Streak have no direct Odoo equivalent; we flag these as manual policy decisions for the customer's admin to implement in Odoo using domain filters on the crm.lead model or server actions.

Pair-specific challenges

  • Gmail-only Box records have no native Odoo email thread equivalent

    Streak Boxes are created from and attached to specific Gmail email threads. Odoo CRM does not have a native Box equivalent that ties a CRM record to a live email thread inside Gmail. We preserve Box-to-thread associations as structured metadata (Gmail thread ID stored in a custom field x_gmail_thread_id on the crm.lead), but the customer must configure Gmail-to-Odoo email sync separately using Odoo's Configure Social Networks (IMAP/Gmail OAuth) or the Odoo Gmail add-on. Without this configuration, email threading must be manually re-established by linking incoming emails to the Odoo lead or opportunity. Teams that rely heavily on Box's email thread context should plan the Odoo email sync setup as part of the migration cutover, not after.

  • Streak's Box-to-Contact bundle requires Odoo's Lead-to-Opportunity split

    Streak collapses the prospect-to-customer lifecycle into a single Box record. Odoo CRM separates unqualified leads (crm.lead) from qualified opportunities with an explicit conversion action that also creates a Partner (Contact) record and links it to the Opportunity. We split Box records during migration: early-stage Boxes map to Odoo Leads; mid-to-late-stage Boxes with a deal value map to Odoo Opportunities with an associated Partner. The customer defines the stage threshold for Lead vs Opportunity during scoping. Migrations that skip this split land all Boxes as Leads in Odoo with no Opportunities, breaking pipeline reporting.

  • Odoo after-sales support is a known pain point

    Reddit reviews and user discussions consistently identify Odoo's after-sales support as a significant weakness, particularly for implementation and configuration questions. Teams migrating from Streak (which has a relatively lightweight support model) to Odoo may encounter slower support response times, particularly for Community edition users or for custom module questions. We document this in the migration handoff: Odoo Standard and Custom plan customers have access to official Odoo support, but response times and support depth vary. Customers evaluating Odoo CRM should factor in the cost of a certified Odoo implementation partner for initial configuration and ongoing customization if internal technical resources are limited.

  • Per-pipeline custom Box properties require separate Odoo field creation

    Streak allows different custom properties per Pipeline — Pipeline A might have a custom dropdown 'Deal Type' while Pipeline B has a custom date field 'Expected Close'. Odoo's field model applies fields at the model level (crm.lead), not per-pipeline. We handle this by creating custom fields on crm.lead for all unique custom properties across all pipelines, then using Odoo's access rights and view architecture to show or hide fields per pipeline context. For fields that share a name but have different value sets per pipeline, we consolidate to a superset picklist and flag the discrepancy in the handoff document for the admin to validate post-migration.

  • Mail Merge campaign sequences do not migrate and have no Odoo native equivalent

    Streak Mail Merge campaigns include send sequences with automated follow-ups and open/reply tracking that have no direct Odoo CRM equivalent. Odoo does not ship a native sales engagement cadence feature; outreach sequences require a third-party tool (e.g., Mailchimp, Lemlist, or Lavender) or a custom Odoo module. We export Mail Merge campaign metadata, recipient lists, send history, and engagement metrics as structured data linked to crm.lead records, but the sequence logic (step timing, conditional branching, auto-follow-up triggers) does not migrate. We deliver a written inventory of every active Mail Merge campaign with its send cadence and recommended replacement tool.

Migration approach

Six steps for a successful Streak to Odoo CRM data migration

  1. Discovery and schema audit

    We audit the source Streak account across plan tier (Free legacy, Pro, Pro+, Enterprise), pipeline count, stage configuration per pipeline, custom Box properties per pipeline, Box volume, associated contact count, task count, tag taxonomy, mail merge campaign count, and archived user count. We confirm which customers are on a paid plan versus a legacy free account that may have different data export capabilities. We also identify whether the destination Odoo instance is a new deployment or an existing Odoo database (which requires a schema collision check against existing crm.lead and res.partner records). The discovery output is a written migration scope document including the Lead-to-Opportunity split rule, the per-pipeline custom property mapping table, and the Odoo stage configuration plan.

  2. Odoo CRM pipeline and field configuration

    Before any data moves, we configure the destination Odoo CRM module. This includes creating CRM stages that match Streak pipeline stage names and ordering, configuring stage probabilities, enabling the tag field on crm.lead, and creating custom fields for every Streak custom Box property using Odoo Studio (or XML data if a custom module is deployed). We also configure the Lead-to-Opportunity conversion mapping so that when an Odoo Lead is converted, the correct Partner (Contact), Opportunity, and field mappings are applied. All configuration is deployed into an Odoo staging or test database first for validation before production migration begins.

  3. Box extraction and Lead-Opportunity split

    We export all Box records from Streak via the Streak API. We apply the Lead-Opportunity split rule (defined in discovery) to classify each Box: early-stage Boxes become Odoo crm.lead records in the Lead stage; mid-to-late-stage Boxes with a deal value become crm.lead records in the Opportunity stage. We extract Box stage history as mail.message records to be attached to the crm.lead post-import. Box custom properties are transformed to Odoo field values using the field type mapping defined in discovery. Each Box is assigned a Streak external ID (x_streak_box_id) for reconciliation. Archived user Boxes are included only after the customer confirms user reactivation in Streak.

  4. Contact and Company extraction (res.partner)

    We export all Streak Contacts associated with migrating Boxes, de-duplicate by email address, and create Odoo res.partner records. For each Partner, we extract name, email, phone, company affiliation, and any custom contact properties. Company affiliations become separate res.partner records of type 'company' with the contact as a child. We resolve the Box-to-Contact linking so that each migrated crm.lead points to the correct Partner. Odoo Partner records are created before crm.lead records so that the Partner lookup is satisfied at the moment of record insert.

  5. Production migration in dependency order

    We run production migration in strict record-dependency order: res.partner (Contacts and Companies) first, then crm.lead records (Leads and Opportunities) with the stage and custom field values resolved, then mail.message stage history records, then ir.attachment records for Box attachments, then crm.tag associations, then crm.activity task records. Each phase emits a row-count reconciliation report comparing source record counts against destination inserted counts. Any records rejected by Odoo's validation rules (required fields, picklist values, etc.) are collected in a correction queue, mapped back to the source, corrected, and retried in the next batch. We use Odoo's XML-RPC API with batch chunking and exponential backoff on rate-limit responses.

  6. Cutover, validation, and admin handoff

    We freeze Streak writes during the cutover window, run a final delta migration of any records modified during the migration window, then mark Odoo as the system of record. We run a full reconciliation: total Box count vs crm.lead count, total Contact count vs res.partner count, stage distribution across the Odoo kanban view, and spot-check 25-50 random crm.lead records against the source Streak Boxes. We deliver the written inventory of Mail Merge campaigns (with send history and engagement metrics), Snippet templates (with merge variable mapping table), Workflow rules (if any on Pro+ or Enterprise), and archived user records. We support a one-week hypercare window for reconciliation issues. Post-migration admin support, Odoo email sync configuration, and Odoo CRM training are separate engagements not included in FlitStack AI standard scope.

Platform deep dives

Context on both ends of the pair

Streak logo

Streak

Source

Strengths

  • Deep Gmail integration — every CRM action happens in the inbox, eliminating tab-switching and training overhead for Gmail-native teams.
  • Fast individual adoption — the free tier with email tracking, snippets, and basic pipelines requires no formal onboarding.
  • Pipeline and deal tracking with stage history, reminders, and owner assignment inside the email thread.
  • Mail merge with automatic follow-up sequences is a genuine differentiator for outreach-heavy workflows.
  • Box-level custom fields allow per-pipeline data capture without schema complexity.

Weaknesses

  • Gmail-only — no Outlook, Yahoo, or standalone web interface excludes any team with non-Gmail email providers.
  • Reporting and analytics are basic; advanced pipeline dashboards and custom reports are limited compared to HubSpot or Salesforce.
  • Automation is minimal outside of Pro+; multi-step sequences, conditional triggers, and workflow rules are thin.
  • Pricing escalation is steep for small teams — free tier removal in 2024–2025 left many users facing $49/user/month with reduced feature depth.
  • Limited integrations; native connections to non-Google tools are sparse, pushing teams toward manual workarounds.

Destination

Strengths

  • Modular open-source architecture lets teams start with CRM and add ERP apps as needs grow, all sharing one PostgreSQL database.
  • Free Community edition with no contact limits and full source code access means zero licensing cost for evaluation and small deployments.
  • Drag-and-drop Kanban pipeline with AI lead scoring gives a visual, prioritized view of the sales funnel without requiring custom configuration.
  • Native integrations with email, live chat, SMS, VoIP, WhatsApp, and social media feed all inbound leads into a single unified inbox.
  • Active Odoo Community Association (OCA) maintains dozens of community-maintained modules on GitHub for extended functionality.

Weaknesses

  • Gmail and email integration reliability is a recurring complaint — threads drop and conversations scatter across inboxes, disrupting sales team workflows.
  • Enterprise edition pricing stacks quickly: multiple apps at per-user rates ($25–$50/user/month) plus Odoo.sh hosting costs more than many SMBs anticipate.
  • Setup and configuration complexity increases significantly once custom fields, automation rules, and multiple installed modules are in play.
  • Odoo.sh trial databases run on a version (e.g., 18.3) that is not directly migratable to Odoo.sh, blocking the assisted migration path Odoo advertises.
  • Version upgrades between major Odoo releases (e.g., 17→18) frequently break custom module view definitions and XPath expressions, requiring manual remediation.

Migrations of up to 5,000 Boxes, two pipelines, and no custom modules land in four to six weeks. Migrations with five or more pipelines, per-pipeline custom properties, large contact lists (over 10,000 contacts), or Box stage histories that require preservation as Odoo mail.message records move to eight to twelve weeks because of Odoo field type mapping, Odoo Studio custom field creation, and Odoo CRM pipeline configuration time. A new Odoo instance deployment (versus an existing Odoo database) adds one to two weeks for initial Odoo setup and configuration before data migration begins.
