Overview
Systeme.io stores contacts as standalone records with a one-to-many relationship to companies, using its own deal pipeline stages and tagging taxonomy. Odoo CRM merges contacts and companies into res.partner (with type=contact or type=company), stores leads and opportunities in crm.lead, and maps pipeline stages to crm.stage per sales team. We migrate Systeme.io contacts to res.partner, companies to res.partner (type=company), and deals to crm.lead with stage_id mapped to Odoo's pipeline stages. Tag relationships migrate to crm.lead.tag or custom Char fields. Systeme.io automation rules, sequences, and funnel logic do not have Odoo equivalents and must be rebuilt using Odoo's Server Actions, base.automation, or the Odoo Studio workflow builder — we export your Systeme.io automation definitions as a rebuild reference. Custom fields on Systeme.io contacts map to custom x_studio_ fields on res.partner or crm.lead, which must be pre-created in Odoo before the migration run. FlitStack sequences the migration as: contacts → companies (for partner_id resolution) → deals, then runs a delta pickup for in-flight records.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a Systeme IO 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.
Systeme IO
Contact
Odoo CRM
res.partner
1:1Systeme.io contacts map directly to Odoo res.partner (type=contact). The email, phone, name, and address fields map to Odoo's standard contact fields. Systeme.io contacts linked to a company set the res.partner's parent_id to the mapped company record. Unlinked contacts land as standalone partner records.
Systeme IO
Company
Odoo CRM
res.partner
1:1Systeme.io companies map to res.partner with type=company. The company name maps to the partner's name field. Website, industry, and employee count map to website, industry, and employee_qty on the company partner record. Parent-child hierarchy in Systeme.io maps to parent_id on res.partner.
Systeme IO
Deal
Odoo CRM
crm.lead
1:1Systeme.io deals map to Odoo crm.lead records. The deal name becomes the lead's name field. Deal amount maps to Odoo crm.lead's expected_revenue or planned_revenue (depending on stage). Deal stage maps to crm.lead stage_id, which points to a crm.stage record scoped to the target sales team.
Systeme IO
Deal Pipeline
Odoo CRM
crm.team + crm.stage
1:1Each named Systeme.io pipeline becomes a dedicated Odoo crm.team (sales team) with its own set of crm.stage records. Systeme.io stage names map to stage_id values under that team. If Systeme.io has one pipeline, Odoo uses the default Sales Team and its stages. Multiple pipelines require pre-creation of additional crm.team records.
Systeme IO
Contact Tag
Odoo CRM
res.partner.category_id
1:1Systeme.io contact tags map to res.partner.category_id (a many2many to res.partner.category). Each unique Systeme.io tag becomes a res.partner.category record. If a contact has multiple tags, all are applied as many2many category links on the res.partner record. Tags without an Odoo equivalent are preserved as a custom Char field for manual review.
Systeme IO
Deal Tag
Odoo CRM
crm.lead.tag
1:1Systeme.io deal tags map directly to Odoo's crm.lead.tag model, which is a dedicated tag classification system for CRM leads. Each unique Systeme.io deal tag is created as a crm.lead.tag record, and the corresponding lead's tag_ids field (many2many) links the crm.lead to all its applicable tags for filtering and segmentation in Odoo's pipeline view.
Systeme IO
Product / Order Item
Odoo CRM
product.template + sale.order.line
1:1Systeme.io products map to Odoo product.template records (name, list_price, default_code). Historical transaction line items that reference specific products need sale.order records in Odoo, linked to the customer partner. Odoo Community requires the Sale app to be installed for order records. Products must exist before sale.order.line records can reference them.
Systeme IO
Transaction / Order
Odoo CRM
account.move (Invoice)
1:1Systeme.io transactions (payment status, amount, date) map to Odoo account.move records as customer invoices or bills depending on direction. The res.partner (customer) is linked via partner_id. Odoo requires the Accounting app to be installed for invoice records. Payment status maps to move_state and payment_state fields. We store Systeme.io's transaction ID in a custom reference field on the account.move.
Systeme IO
Automation / Sequence
Odoo CRM
base.automation / ir.actions.server
1:1Systeme.io automation rules and email sequences do not have structural equivalents in Odoo CRM. The logic (triggers, conditions, actions, delays) is exported as a JSON specification from Systeme.io and provided as a rebuild reference. FlitStack documents the trigger conditions, tag-based audience filters, and action sequences so your Odoo admin can rebuild them using Odoo's Studio automation builder or base.automation module.
Systeme IO
Custom Contact Property
Odoo CRM
res.partner (custom x_studio_ field)
1:1Systeme.io custom contact fields (created via the property builder) migrate as Odoo custom fields on res.partner. Field type is inferred from the source data — text fields map to char, numeric fields to float or integer, date fields to date, and pick-list fields to selection or many2one depending on Odoo version. All custom fields must be pre-created in Odoo before migration runs. We provide a field creation checklist as part of the migration plan.
Systeme IO
Funnel / Page
Odoo CRM
website.page (no_equivalent)
1:1Systeme.io sales funnels, landing pages, and blog posts have no direct Odoo CRM equivalent. Pages can be migrated to Odoo Website (if installed) as website.page records, but funnel logic (upsells, order bumps, gated content) must be rebuilt in Odoo's eCommerce or product configurator modules. We export the page structure as a reference document for your Odoo implementation team.
Systeme IO
Owner / User
Odoo CRM
res.users
1:1Systeme.io team members (owners assigned to contacts and deals) are resolved by email match against Odoo res.users records. If a Systeme.io owner email matches an existing Odoo user, that user's id populates the crm.lead's user_id and the res.partner's user_id. Unmatched owners are flagged before migration; you either invite them to Odoo first or assign their records to a fallback user.

Systeme IO gotchas
Funnel pages cannot be exported or backed up
Automation migrates as documentation, not data
Contact limits are plan-gated — exceeding them blocks imports
Free migration is only available to Unlimited or annual subscribers

Odoo CRM gotchas
Odoo.sh version gating blocks assisted migrations from trial
Enterprise modules fail to install on Community after database restore
Custom module view inheritance breaks between Odoo major versions
Custom fields risk losing their application context on Community
API access for Community is gated behind the Custom Plan
Pair-specific challenges
Migration approach
Audit Systeme.io data and generate field mapping specification
FlitStack reads your Systeme.io account data via export files — contacts with all properties, companies, deals by pipeline, transactions, and tags. We generate a field mapping specification that pairs each Systeme.io field to its Odoo destination (res.partner, crm.lead, account.move, etc.). For custom properties, we infer the appropriate Odoo field type and flag which fields need to be pre-created in Odoo. The mapping spec is reviewed with you before any data moves — this step prevents import-order cascades that would orphan dependent records.
Create Odoo custom fields and pipeline schema
Before migration runs, your Odoo admin (or our team with technical access) creates the custom fields and pipeline stages in Odoo. We deliver a checklist: custom property name → Odoo field name → field type → target model (res.partner or crm.lead). For each Systeme.io pipeline, we specify the required crm.team and crm.stage records. Odoo Community users: this step also confirms the import order that will be used for CSV loads. Enterprise users: API credentials are verified and rate limits are confirmed with your Odoo plan tier.
Resolve owner and user assignments by email
Systeme.io deal owners and contact-assigned users are matched against Odoo res.users records by email address. FlitStack generates an owner resolution report listing matched users, unmatched emails, and a recommended fallback user for each unmatched record. You confirm the fallback assignments before migration runs. No crm.lead or res.partner lands without a resolved user_id unless you explicitly choose to leave it unassigned.
Run sample migration with field-level diff
A representative sample — typically 200–500 records spanning contacts, companies, deals, and a subset of custom fields — migrates first. FlitStack generates a field-level diff comparing source values against Odoo destination values, visible in a web diff interface. You verify: custom property mapping accuracy, tag-to-category resolution, pipeline-to-stage mapping, owner resolution, and timestamp preservation. Sample migration approval gates the full run.
Execute full migration with delta pickup window
After sample approval, FlitStack runs the full migration in sequenced batches — companies first (res.partner type=company), then contacts with parent_id resolution, then deals with stage_id and team_id mapping. A delta-pickup window (typically 24–48 hours) runs after the main migration commits, capturing any records created or modified in Systeme.io during the cutover. All operations are logged to an audit trail. One-click rollback reverts Odoo to the pre-migration state if reconciliation fails.
Deliver automation rebuild reference and reconciliation report
FlitStack exports your Systeme.io automation definitions (rules, sequences, triggers, tag-based audience filters) as a structured JSON file and a human-readable rebuild guide mapped to Odoo's automation constructs (base.automation triggers, ir.actions.server, Studio workflow steps). The reconciliation report lists all migrated records by type, notes any skipped records with reasons, and flags custom fields that exceeded Odoo's value-length constraints. This package gives your Odoo admin a complete reference for recreating Systeme.io workflows in Odoo using the appropriate automation modules.
