Overview
Moving from Tubular CRM to Odoo CRM is a migration from a focused sales pipeline tool into a modular ERP platform where CRM is one component of a larger suite. Tubular organizes Leads, Deals, Contacts, Tags, and Tasks within customizable pipelines, but its REST API is gated behind the Enterprise tier and is not publicly documented, which forces Pro-tier accounts to rely on manual CSV exports from the UI. Odoo CRM uses a separate Companies object that must exist before Contacts can be fully configured, and Odoo's Tag model stores labels as ir.model.data records rather than flat label arrays. We sequence the export from Tubular in dependency order (Companies/Contacts first, then Deals, then Activities), pre-configure the Odoo pipeline stages and sales teams before import, and preserve all Tag assignments during the transfer. Deal Stage Triggers and Email Templates are Tubular-native automations that do not exist in Odoo and are documented in a written handoff for your admin to rebuild in Odoo Action Rules. Reports are view-only in Tubular and cannot be programmatically extracted; we advise customers to screenshot critical reports before migration cutoff. We do not migrate Workflows, Sequences, or Automations as code; we deliver a written inventory of every active Tubular automation for your admin to rebuild post-migration.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a Tubular CRM 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.
Tubular CRM
Contact
Odoo CRM
Contact
1:1Tubular Contacts map to Odoo CRM Contacts. We extract Contact name, email, phone, company association, owner, and custom fields from Tubular CSV exports. Because Odoo requires an existing Company record before a Contact's company_id field can be set, we import Companies first, then Contacts, resolving the company_id reference at migration time. If a Tubular Contact has no associated Company, we create a minimal Odoo Company record or attach the Contact to a designated catch-all company based on customer preference during scoping.
Tubular CRM
Company
Odoo CRM
Company
1:1Tubular Companies map to Odoo CRM Companies (res.partner records with company_type = company). Company name, address, domain, and custom fields migrate directly. The company domain becomes the Website field on the Odoo partner record. We create all Companies before any Contact insert to satisfy Odoo's partner dependency chain. Duplicate Companies detected by domain match are flagged in a reconciliation report for the customer to resolve.
Tubular CRM
Deal
Odoo CRM
Opportunity
1:1Tubular Deals map to Odoo CRM Opportunities. Deal name, value, stage assignment, owner, associated Contact, associated Company, and deal-level notes transfer directly. Payment terms from Tubular map to Odoo's payment_term_id on the Opportunity. We resolve the owner to an Odoo User by email match and the associated Contact and Company to their Odoo partner IDs before Opportunity insert. Closed-won and closed-lost status from Tubular map to Odoo's stage configuration, with the probability percentage preserved as a custom field if the customer requires it for reporting.
Tubular CRM
Pipeline Stage
Odoo CRM
CRM Stage
lossyTubular's custom pipeline stages (stage names, order, and color) map to Odoo CRM Stage records within the relevant Sales Team. Probability percentages configured per stage in Tubular map to Odoo stage probability values. Stage-specific triggers (Deal Stage Triggers on Enterprise) are documented separately as they require manual rebuild in Odoo Action Rules; we do not migrate them as automation logic.
Tubular CRM
Lead
Odoo CRM
Lead
1:1Tubular Leads (distinct from Contacts in Tubular's data model) map directly to Odoo CRM Leads. Lead source, status, owner, and custom Lead Builder fields transfer. The Lead-to-Contact conversion workflow is a manual step in Odoo post-import; we flag all Tubular Leads with a conversion-ready flag in a dedicated Odoo custom field so the sales team can process conversions in the correct sequence. Any AI-scored lead ratings from Tubular's DNA Credits feature are preserved in a custom field for the customer's admin to reference during conversion.
Tubular CRM
Tag
Odoo CRM
Tag
1:1Tubular Tags applied to Deals and Contacts migrate to Odoo Tags (mail.message.mttag records). Tags stored as flat label arrays in Tubular are matched by name to existing Odoo tags or created as new tag records during migration. Because Odoo's tag model is object-agnostic (tags can apply across multiple object types), we preserve the full tag set with a reference to which object each tag was originally attached to. We flag any tag naming conflicts (e.g., identically named tags on Deals vs Contacts) for customer resolution.
Tubular CRM
Task
Odoo CRM
Task
1:1Tubular Tasks linked to Leads and Deals map to Odoo CRM Tasks (crm.activity records). Task title, due date, owner, completion status, and description transfer. Recurring task patterns do not have an export equivalent in Tubular and are flagged as a manual rebuild item in Odoo. Incomplete tasks are imported as open Odoo activities; completed tasks import with their completion date preserved. Owner resolution uses email matching to Odoo Users.
Tubular CRM
Activity Log (Email, Call, Note)
Odoo CRM
Activity
1:1Tubular email logs, call logs, and notes attached to Deals and Contacts migrate as Odoo CRM activities. Email subject and body transfer as a Note activity on the Odoo Opportunity or Lead. Call logs transfer as Call activities with duration preserved. Because Tubular's activity export format varies between UI CSV and API (Enterprise), we normalize the output into Odoo's activity schema before import, mapping the original activity timestamp to the Odoo activity's date field.
Tubular CRM
Owner / User
Odoo CRM
User
1:1Tubular Owner records map to Odoo Users by email address match. We extract every distinct owner referenced across Contacts, Companies, Deals, and Leads. Owners without a matching Odoo User are placed in a reconciliation queue for the customer's admin to provision before record import resumes. The customer's admin decides whether inactive Tubular owners become inactive Odoo users or are reassigned to active users during migration.
Tubular CRM
Document / Attachment
Odoo CRM
Attachment
1:1Files attached within Tubular deal flows are extracted via UI scraping or API where available. We preserve file names and link them to the correct Odoo Opportunity or Lead record via ir.attachment records. The file binary content transfers where extractable; files stored in Tubular's hosted attachment system with no direct download URL are flagged for manual download before migration cutoff.
Tubular CRM
Report
Odoo CRM
Report
1:1Tubular generates MoM/QoQ reports, Lead Source reports, and Task reports that are view-only with no export endpoint. These cannot be programmatically extracted. We advise customers to screenshot or manually export any critical reports before migration cutoff. In Odoo, we recreate the equivalent report logic using Odoo's reporting views and CSV export capability on the migrated data, but historical data points embedded in Tubular's reports do not transfer.
Tubular CRM
DNA Credits (enrichment data)
Odoo CRM
Custom Field
lossyDNA Credits power Tubular's AI enrichment features, which assign lead ratings and enriched company profiles. These credits have no Odoo equivalent and do not transfer. We document the credit count and any enriched data (AI-scored lead ratings, enriched company profiles) generated by Tubular before migration, and we store that data as custom fields on the migrated Lead or Contact records so the enrichment signal is not lost when credits are exhausted in the old platform.

Custom fields risk losing their application context on Community
API access for Community is gated behind the Custom Plan
Pair-specific challenges
Migration approach
Discovery and export method determination
We audit the source Tubular account across tier (Pro or Enterprise), active pipelines, custom fields on Contacts/Companies/Deals/Leads, active Deal Stage Triggers, email templates, DNA Credit usage, and activity volume. If the customer is on Pro, we determine the full scope of manual CSV exports required and coordinate a scheduled export session. If the customer is on Enterprise, we request API credentials and test connectivity directly against the undocumented endpoint surface, falling back to CSV exports if API behavior cannot be verified. The discovery output is a written migration scope, an export checklist sequenced in dependency order, and a Tubular automation inventory (Deal Stage Triggers, email templates) for the rebuild handoff.
Odoo schema pre-configuration
We configure Odoo CRM before any data import begins. This includes provisioning the CRM sales team structure, defining pipeline stages (mapped from Tubular stage names and probabilities), creating custom fields on Contact, Company, Lead, and Opportunity to receive Tubular data that has no direct Odoo equivalent, and setting up tag infrastructure. We deploy Odoo configuration via XML-RPC or the Settings UI into a staging environment first. The customer reviews the configured pipeline stages and approves the Odoo data model before production migration begins.
Data export and cleanup from Tubular
We guide the customer through the export sequence in dependency order: Companies and Contacts first (to preserve relational integrity in Odoo), then Deals (with resolved Contact and Company IDs), then Leads, then Tasks, then Activity logs. Pro-tier customers perform manual CSV downloads from the UI; Enterprise customers may use API exports where credentials are available. We run a data quality audit on the exported CSVs, flagging duplicate records, missing required fields for Odoo import (particularly company_id on Contacts), and any Tubular custom fields that lack a mapping target. The customer resolves data quality issues before the migration window.
Staging migration and reconciliation
We run a full migration into Odoo staging using production-equivalent data volume. The customer reconciles record counts (Companies in, Contacts in, Deals in, Leads in, Activities in), spot-checks 25-50 random records against the Tubular source, and validates that Tags are correctly attached and Deal values match. Any mapping corrections, field mismatches, or Odoo configuration gaps are resolved in staging before the production migration date is confirmed.
Owner reconciliation and User provisioning
We extract every distinct Tubular Owner referenced on Contacts, Companies, Deals, and Leads and match by email against the Odoo destination's User table. Owners without a matching Odoo User go to a reconciliation queue. The customer's Odoo admin provisions any missing Users before production migration resumes. Owner resolution is a prerequisite for the production migration because OwnerId references are required on most standard objects in Odoo.
Production migration in dependency order
We run production migration in record-dependency order: Companies (from Tubular Companies), Contacts (with resolved company_id), Deals (with resolved contact_id, company_id, and user_id), Leads, Tags (applied to the migrated records), Tasks, Activity logs (email, call, note as CRM activities), and Documents/Attachments. Each phase emits a row-count reconciliation report before the next phase begins. We use Odoo's XML-RPC write API for record insert with batch chunking and retry logic on timeouts.
Cutover, validation, and automation rebuild handoff
We freeze Tubular writes during cutover, run a final delta migration of any records modified during the migration window, then mark Odoo as the system of record. We deliver the Deal Stage Trigger and email template inventory document to the customer's admin team for rebuild in Odoo Action Rules. We support a one-week hypercare window where we resolve reconciliation issues raised by the sales team. We do not rebuild Tubular automations as Odoo Action Rules inside the migration scope; that is a separate engagement or an internal admin task.
