Overview
Moving from Xtremepush to Zoho CRM is a platform-class migration: Xtremepush is a mobile-first omnichannel engagement platform built around user profiles, behavioral events, and campaign execution across push, SMS, and email, while Zoho CRM is a sales-and-account-management CRM centered on Leads, Contacts, Accounts, and Deals. The core migration challenge is translating Xtremepush's profile-centric data model into Zoho CRM's relational structure: user profiles map to Contacts or Leads with Xtremepush attributes stored in custom fields, campaigns map to custom module records with content and schedule metadata, and loyalty program state (points, tiers, achievements) migrates as a snapshot in a custom Loyalty State module. Push tokens (APNS and Firebase GCM) do not transfer to Zoho CRM because Zoho does not include push delivery infrastructure; we document the CSV export workflow and recommend a re-registration process with the customer's chosen push provider post-migration. Workflows, automated journeys, and location services (geofences, iBeacons) do not migrate; we deliver a written inventory of every active journey and location configuration for the customer's admin to evaluate for rebuild in Zoho or a dedicated engagement layer.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a Xtremepush 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.
Xtremepush
User Profile
Zoho CRM
Contact (primary) and Lead (secondary)
1:1Xtremepush user profiles map to Zoho CRM Contacts. If the Xtremepush account includes unconverted prospect records, those map to Zoho CRM Leads. We store Xtremepush profile ID in a custom field xp_profile_id__c on Contact for audit and reconciliation. Standard profile fields (email, phone, name, device OS) map to Contact standard fields; Xtremepush custom attributes map to Zoho CRM custom fields that we pre-create in the destination before migration.
Xtremepush
Device Token (APNS / Firebase GCM)
Zoho CRM
Custom Module: Device Token Registry
lossyXtremepush device tokens (APNS and Firebase GCM) have no native destination in Zoho CRM because Zoho does not include push notification infrastructure. We export tokens to a custom Device Tokens module with fields for token string, OS type (iOS/Android), token type (APNS/FCM), last_active_date, and associated Contact lookup. The customer uses this registry to re-register tokens with their chosen push provider (OneSignal, Firebase, Airship) post-migration. We document the export schema in the handoff checklist.
Xtremepush
Attributes and Tags
Zoho CRM
Custom Fields and Multi-Select Picklists
lossyXtremepush key-value attributes migrate to Zoho CRM custom fields on Contact. We match attribute data types to Zoho field types: text attributes to single-line or multi-line text, numeric attributes to number or currency fields, date attributes to date fields. Tags migrate to multi-select picklist fields on Contact (for behavioral tags) or to a custom Tags module (for segment classification tags). Tags with more than 100 distinct values require admin approval of picklist range in Zoho CRM paid editions.
Xtremepush
Preferences and Consent Records
Zoho CRM
Contact custom fields and Lookups
1:1Xtremepush consent records (preference type, status, last-updated timestamp, consent source) migrate to custom fields on Contact: xp_consent_marketing__c (checkbox), xp_consent_date__c (date), xp_consent_source__c (picklist: manual/SDK/import), and xp_legitimate_interest__c (checkbox). We flag records where consent source is 'import' as potentially requiring re-collection in high-compliance industries (iGaming, financial services, healthcare-adjacent) per the consent audit recommendation.
Xtremepush
Campaign
Zoho CRM
Custom Module: Campaign History
1:1Xtremepush campaign metadata (name, channel, schedule, trigger conditions, content) migrates to a custom Campaign History module linked to Contact. Each campaign record includes campaign_name__c, channel__c (push/SMS/email/web), status__c, scheduled_date__c, and content_body__c. Automated journey definitions (trigger logic, delay steps, branching rules) do not migrate; we export them as a JSON specification and deliver a written journey inventory for the customer's admin to evaluate for rebuild in Zoho Workflow Rules or a dedicated journey tool.
Xtremepush
Audience Segment
Zoho CRM
Custom Module: Segment Registry
1:1Xtremepush audience segments (defined by attribute, event, and tag rules) migrate to a custom Segment Registry module with fields for segment_name__c, definition_rule__c (text description of the Xtremepush rule syntax), member_count__c (snapshot at migration time), and associated_contact_lookup__c. We translate the Xtremepush rule-building syntax into human-readable descriptions because Zoho does not have an equivalent segment builder; the customer's admin uses these descriptions to recreate segments in Zoho filters and custom views.
Xtremepush
Behavioral Event
Zoho CRM
Custom Module: Event History
1:manyXtremepush in-app and cross-channel behavioral events (event type, timestamp, associated user/device) migrate to a custom Event History module linked to Contact. Each event record includes event_type__c, event_timestamp__c, device_id__c, and any event property fields stored as custom attributes. Volume-based event exports require chunking (we process in batches of 10,000 records); we map event type names directly and preserve timestamps for timeline ordering. Event history migration is optional and scoped based on the customer's reporting requirements; skipping event history reduces migration scope significantly.
Xtremepush
Loyalty Program State
Zoho CRM
Custom Module: Loyalty State Snapshot
1:1Xtremepush loyalty mechanics (points balance, tier assignment, earned badges, gamification achievements) are stored as profile attributes and migrate as part of the profile. We also create a dedicated Loyalty State Snapshot module with fields for points_balance__c, current_tier__c, tier_earned_date__c, and badge_count__c for each Contact. The gamification rule engine (triggers, rewards thresholds, achievement logic) is not exposed via export and is documented separately in the handoff inventory; the customer's admin rebuilds gamification mechanics in Zoho or a dedicated loyalty platform.
Xtremepush
Location (Geofence and iBeacon)
Zoho CRM
Custom Module: Location Registry
1:1Xtremepush geofence and iBeacon location metadata (coordinates, radius, venue UUID, beacon major/minor values) migrates to a custom Location Registry module. Each location record includes location_name__c, location_type__c (geofence/iBeacon), latitude__c, longitude__c, radius_meters__c, beacon_uuid__c, and associated_venue__c. Live location permission state does not migrate because it is device-level; users must re-opt into location tracking post-migration. We document location re-activation as a post-migration step in the customer handoff checklist.
Xtremepush
Automated Export Schedule
Zoho CRM
Documentation: Export Schedule Registry
1:1Xtremepush SFTP and email-based automated export schedules are documented in the handoff package as a registry of schedule_name__c, frequency__c (hourly/daily/weekly/monthly), credential_path__c, and exported_schema__c. We do not re-create export schedules in Zoho because Zoho does not have an equivalent outbound SFTP export feature; instead, we document the Xtremepush export configuration so the customer can configure Zoho's Zoho Analytics or third-party ETL tools to consume the same schema if the data pipeline continues.

Pair-specific challenges
Migration approach
Discovery and source audit
We audit the Xtremepush account across profiles (total count and attribute inventory), device tokens, consent records, campaigns (active and historical), audience segments, behavioral event volume and schema, loyalty program state, location data, and automated export schedules. We document the gamification mechanics observed during discovery and the active journey definitions requiring rebuild inventory. The discovery output is a written migration scope, attribute schema map, and a list of objects requiring custom module creation in Zoho CRM.
Zoho CRM schema design and custom module creation
We design the Zoho CRM destination schema before any data moves. This includes provisioning custom modules for Device Tokens, Campaign History, Segment Registry, Event History, Loyalty State Snapshot, Location Registry, and Consent Tracking, along with custom fields on the standard Contact module for Xtremepush attributes. We match Xtremepush data types to Zoho field types during schema design. Custom fields are not available in Zoho CRM Free edition; we confirm the customer's Zoho edition during scoping and recommend upgrading to Standard ($14/user/month) or higher if custom fields are required.
Sandbox migration and reconciliation
We run a full migration into a Zoho CRM Sandbox (or a parallel copy org) using production-like data volume. The customer's admin reconciles record counts (Contacts in, segment registry entries, campaign history records, event history records, loyalty state records), spot-checks 25-50 randomly selected records against the Xtremepush source, and validates custom field data integrity. Schema corrections and field mapping adjustments happen in sandbox before production migration begins.
Profile migration with attribute and consent mapping
We migrate Xtremepush user profiles to Zoho CRM Contacts in dependency order. Profile ID is stored in xp_profile_id__c for reconciliation. Standard fields (name, email, phone) map to Contact standard fields; Xtremepush custom attributes map to pre-created custom fields. Consent records map to consent custom fields on Contact. Owner assignment in Zoho is set to the customer's admin user unless a named-owner mapping is provided.
Campaign history, segments, events, and loyalty state migration
After profile migration, we migrate campaign history to the Campaign History module (linked to Contact), segment definitions to the Segment Registry, behavioral events to Event History (chunked in batches of 10,000), and loyalty state to both the Contact custom fields and the Loyalty State Snapshot module. Each module emits a row-count reconciliation report. Engagement data migration is optional and scoped based on reporting requirements; skipping event history reduces timeline significantly.
Push token export and journey inventory handoff
We export the device token registry as a CSV and deliver it alongside the push token re-registration workflow document. We deliver the journey inventory (active journey definitions, trigger logic, delay steps) as a JSON specification and written document. Location registry is delivered with re-activation instructions. The customer uses these deliverables to plan push re-registration with their destination provider and evaluate journey rebuild scope in Zoho Workflow Rules or a dedicated journey management tool.
Cutover, validation, and post-migration support
We freeze Xtremepush writes during cutover, run a final delta migration of any records modified during the migration window, then enable Zoho CRM as the system of record. We deliver the migration validation report showing record counts, mapping summary, and known gaps (consent audit trail, gamification engine, push tokens). We support a five-business-day hypercare window where we resolve reconciliation issues. We do not rebuild Xtremepush workflows or journey automations as Zoho Workflow Rules; those are documented separately as rebuild scope for the customer's admin.
