Overview
Weave is a patient-communication and practice-management CRM built for dental, veterinary, and medical offices. Its data model centers on contacts, companies, deals, and a messaging/appointments module. Zoho CRM uses a traditional Leads-Contacts-Accounts-Deals architecture with a separate Deals module for pipeline management. Weave does not expose a public REST API for third-party migration tools, so FlitStack AI reads Weave data via authenticated CSV exports, then maps every record into Zoho CRM via the Zoho API v8 and bulk-import endpoints. We map Weave contacts to Zoho Contacts, Weave companies to Zoho Accounts, Weave deals to Zoho Deals with stage-value mapping, and Weave appointment records to Zoho Events. Weave custom fields and tags migrate as Zoho custom fields and pick-list values. Weave workflows, automation sequences, and SMS templates do not transfer — they must be rebuilt in Zoho Blueprint and Deluge. A 24–48 hour delta-pickup window captures any records modified in Weave during cutover before the final go-live.
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 Weave object lands in Zoho CRM, including any object-level transformations, lookup resolution, or schema-design dependencies.
Typical mapping — final map is confirmed during the sample migration step.
Weave
Contact
Zoho CRM
Contact
1:1Weave contacts migrate 1:1 to Zoho Contacts with every standard field mapped directly. Address fields are normalized from Weave's multi-line text format into Zoho's structured Street, City, State, and Postal_Code fields. Any contact without an email is flagged for review before the final import runs.
Weave
Company
Zoho CRM
Account
1:1Weave companies map to Zoho Accounts. Contacts linked to multiple Weave companies require a primary-company rule in Zoho; additional company associations are recorded in Zoho Account fields or held as a custom multi-select reference field for reconciliation after go-live. During migration planning, your team will define which company should be designated as the primary account for each contact based on revenue attribution or relationship priority.
Weave
Deal
Zoho CRM
Deal
1:1Weave deals transfer to Zoho Deals with stage names mapped via a value-by-value table between Weave pipeline stages and Zoho Deal stage pick-list values. If Weave uses a single pipeline, it maps to one Zoho Sales Pipeline; multiple Weave pipelines require multiple Zoho pipelines or a custom Stage field.
Weave
Appointment
Zoho CRM
Event
1:1Weave appointment records become Zoho Events with Subject, Start_DateTime, End_DateTime, and Description preserved. The appointment type (new patient, hygiene, surgery) maps to a Zoho custom pick-list field if Zoho Events' default Type field is insufficient. Location data migrates to the Event's Venue field or a custom address field.
Weave
User
Zoho CRM
User
1:1Weave user records are matched to Zoho users by email address. Unmatched Weave owners are flagged with a User_Migration_Status custom field so you can decide whether to create new Zoho users, map to existing users, or assign records to a fallback owner before the full migration runs.
Weave
Call / SMS / Email
Zoho CRM
Activity History
1:1Communication history (call logs, SMS threads, email activity) migrates as Zoho Activity records linked to the parent Contact or Account. Each activity preserves the original timestamp, direction (inbound/outbound), and owner. Rich-media content within messages is summarized or linked via URL reference.
Weave
Attachment / File
Zoho CRM
Attachments
1:1Weave file attachments on contacts, companies, or appointments are downloaded and re-uploaded to Zoho CRM Attachments linked to the corresponding record. File size limits and format restrictions from Weave's storage are handled during the download step; any unsupported file type is noted in the migration report.
Weave
Tag / Label
Zoho CRM
Pick-list Field
1:1Weave tags applied to contacts and companies are extracted as a list of values and created as a Zoho Multi-Select pick-list field (Weave_Tags__c). Each record receives the matching tag values. System-level labels are mapped as single-select fields where appropriate. Tag frequency is audited before migration to decide whether to include low-frequency tags.
Weave
Custom Field
Zoho CRM
Custom Field
1:1Every Weave custom property maps to a Zoho custom field on the equivalent module. Data types are matched: Weave text fields become Zoho Single_Line or Multi_Line fields; date fields become Zoho Date fields; numeric fields become Zoho Number fields. Required-field constraints are evaluated post-migration and adjusted in Zoho.
Weave
Task
Zoho CRM
Task
1:1Weave tasks and to-do items transfer to Zoho Tasks, preserving Subject, Due_Date, Status, Priority, and the linked Contact or Company. Completed vs. open status maps directly. Tasks without a due date receive a null date in Zoho and are flagged for review.

Migration approach
Audit Weave data and map to Zoho modules
FlitStack AI reviews your Weave CSV exports to identify all active contacts, companies, deals, appointments, and custom fields. We cross-reference Weave's tag taxonomy against Zoho's field types and build a module map: Contacts map to Zoho Contacts, Companies to Zoho Accounts, Deals to Zoho Deals, and Appointments to Zoho Events. Custom fields are catalogued and assigned Zoho data types. We also note the total attachment count and file size to plan storage provisioning in Zoho.
Set up Zoho schema and custom fields
Before records move, we create all required custom fields in Zoho — including the Weave_Tags__c multi-select field, any date or number custom fields from Weave, and lookup relationships between Contacts and Accounts. Field-level validation rules are noted from Weave and converted to Zoho field-required flags or pick-list constraints. This schema setup step is reviewed with your Zoho admin before we touch production data.
Match Weave owners to Zoho users
Weave user records are matched to Zoho users by email address. Any Weave owner without a corresponding Zoho user is flagged in a pre-migration owner report. Your team decides whether to create new Zoho user accounts, reassign records to an existing user, or use a fallback owner. No record is imported without a confirmed Zoho owner assignment — this prevents orphaned records in Zoho after cutover.
Run a sample migration with field-level diff
A representative sample of 100–500 records (covering contacts, companies, deals, and appointments) migrates first. We generate a field-level diff comparing source values in Weave CSV against their corresponding Zoho fields after import. You verify stage mappings, tag assignments, appointment timestamps, and owner resolution. This sample run catches mapping errors before the full migration commits records to your live Zoho environment.
Execute full migration with delta-pickup
The full dataset is migrated to your production Zoho CRM account in dependency order: Accounts first (to resolve Account lookups), then Contacts, then Deals, then Events. A delta-pickup window of 24–48 hours runs after the main migration to capture any records created or modified in Weave during the cutover window. FlitStack AI generates a post-migration validation report showing record counts, error rates, and a sample spot-check of field values.
