Overview
Ziggu is a client-portal platform built for property developers — it organizes clients, projects, units, documents, and approvals in a single shared inbox. Zoho CRM is a general-purpose sales platform organized around Leads, Contacts, Accounts, Deals, and Activities. These are fundamentally different mental models: Ziggu thinks in terms of property developments in progress; Zoho thinks in terms of leads-to-closed-won pipelines. We map Ziggu's core objects to Zoho equivalents: Clients become Contacts (for individuals) or Accounts (for companies), Projects become Deals with custom fields capturing development details, Units become Line Items or sub-Deals, Documents migrate as file attachments, and Tasks carry over as Zoho Tasks. Ziggu's approval workflow and survey data need to be rebuilt in Zoho using Blueprint and custom fields. The migration uses Zoho's Bulk API v2 with a staged import sequence: Accounts first, then Contacts, then Deals with their related Tasks and Attachments. Zoho's API credit consumption (1 credit per 10 records for inserts) governs batch sizing. We surface every relationship — which Contact owns which Project, which Unit belongs to which Project — so your Zoho reports reflect Ziggu's hierarchy. Ziggu workflows, approval sequences, and automation logic do not migrate. We export your Ziggu workflow definitions as a rebuild reference for your Zoho admin to re-implement in Blueprint or Deluge scripts.
Every standard and custom field arrives verified.
AI proposes the map; you confirm before any record moves.
Parent–child, lookups, and ownership stay linked.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a Ziggu 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.
Ziggu
Client
Zoho CRM
Contact
1:1Ziggu clients (individuals) map directly to Zoho Contacts. Email, phone, and address fields transfer directly. The Contact's primary Account link is set if the client is associated with a company in Ziggu. If duplicate contacts exist, we apply a deduplication rule based on email uniqueness to prevent redundancy.
Ziggu
Client (company)
Zoho CRM
Account
1:1Ziggu clients recorded as companies map to Zoho Accounts. Company name, domain, industry, and employee count fields align with Zoho's standard Account fields. Multiple contacts per account are supported via Contact-Account relationships. During migration, we preserve the original company ID in a custom field for future synchronization and audit trails.
Ziggu
Project
Zoho CRM
Deal
1:1Each Ziggu project becomes a Zoho Deal. Project name maps to Deal Name; project description maps to Deal Notes; project stage (Active, Completed, On Hold) maps to Zoho Deal Stage. Development details like address, completion date, and unit count migrate as custom fields on the Deal.
Ziggu
Unit
Zoho CRM
Line Item
1:1Ziggu units within a project map to Zoho Line Items attached to the parent Deal. Unit number, type (apartment, villa, retail), size, price, and status fields transfer as Line Item fields. Each unit's buyer information links to the associated Contact.
Ziggu
Document
Zoho CRM
Attachment
1:1Ziggu project documents (floor plans, contracts, selections) migrate as file attachments on the corresponding Zoho Deal. Files under 25MB migrate directly; larger files are split or linked. Document metadata (name, upload date, uploader) preserved as attachment properties. We also validate file integrity after migration to ensure no corruption occurs.
Ziggu
Task
Zoho CRM
Task
1:1Ziggu tasks linked to projects and clients map to Zoho Tasks with the appropriate parent record (Deal or Contact). Due dates, assignees, and completion status transfer. Open tasks appear as pending; completed tasks preserve their closure timestamp. Task dependencies are captured in the description field for manual reconstruction if needed.
Ziggu
Approval
Zoho CRM
Task + Custom Field
1:1Ziggu approvals (client sign-offs, document reviews) cannot replicate as native workflows in Zoho. We migrate approval records as Tasks with a custom 'Approval_Type__c' field and 'Approval_Status__c' field. Zoho Blueprint should be configured to re-implement approval routing. Your admin can then set up email notifications and conditional logic within Blueprint to mirror the original flow.
Ziggu
Survey
Zoho CRM
Custom Module
1:1Ziggu survey responses (NPS scores, post-handover feedback) need a custom module in Zoho CRM — 'Survey_Response__c'. Each response links to the original Contact and Deal. Survey questions map to custom fields within the module. We also migrate historical response dates and open-text answers for trend analysis.
Ziggu
Survey Response
Zoho CRM
Survey_Response__c Record
1:1Individual survey submissions migrate as records in the custom Survey_Response module. NPS score, response date, survey type, and free-text answers map to corresponding custom fields. Response is linked to the Contact who submitted it. We preserve the original submission timestamp to maintain longitudinal reporting accuracy.
Ziggu
Financial
Zoho CRM
Custom Module + Deal Fields
1:1Ziggu financials (payment schedules, invoice tracking) map to a custom 'Development_Finance__c' module linked to the Deal. Fields include total project value, amounts paid, pending amounts, and next payment due date. Payment history records link to individual Line Items. We also capture currency and payment method for comprehensive financial reporting.
Ziggu
Partner
Zoho CRM
Account + Contact
1:1Ziggu partners (contractors, suppliers) map to Zoho Accounts with Contact records for individual points of contact. Partner type (contractor, supplier, consultant) stores as a custom pick-list on the Account. Documents from partners attach to the associated Deal or Account. We preserve partner IDs in a custom field for future sync and audit.
Ziggu
Conversation / Message
Zoho CRM
Note + Activity
many:1Ziggu project conversations merge into Zoho Notes on the parent Deal and Activity records on the Contact. Key client decisions and approvals surface in Notes; general updates become Task descriptions. Original timestamps and participant information preserved. We also tag conversation categories to enable filtering and reporting within Zoho.

Gotchas + challenges
Platform-specific issues from each side, plus the pair-specific challenges that don't show up on either platform's page on its own.
Ziggu gotchas
Deactivated projects lock tasks and files but keep conversations open
Per-active-project pricing creates a minimum portfolio cost
Add-ons scale per active unit, not per project
No public API means migration runs through manual export workflows
Zoho CRM gotchas
API access requires Professional tier or above
Subform fields do not export cleanly via CSV
API credit consumption is non-linear
Export download links expire in 7 days
Owner (User) assignments require pre-mapped user IDs
Pair-specific challenges
Migration approach
Audit Ziggu data and design Zoho schema
We extract a full export of your Ziggu data including clients, projects, units, tasks, documents, and surveys. We audit field completeness, identify orphaned records, and document the relationship graph. Based on this, we design the Zoho CRM schema: standard modules (Contacts, Accounts, Deals), custom modules (Survey_Response, Development_Finance), custom fields, and pick-list value mappings. We deliver a schema setup plan before any data moves.
Resolve owners and users by email
Zoho Deals and Tasks require an Owner assigned from the Zoho user list. We match Zigzag project owners and task assignees to Zoho users by email address. Unmatched owners are flagged before migration — your team either creates Zoho user accounts for them or assigns records to a fallback owner. No record lands without a valid Zoho owner reference. This step prevents orphaned records and ensures audit trails reflect proper accountability throughout the migration.
Sequence migration: Accounts → Contacts → Deals → Line Items → Tasks → Attachments
Zoho requires parent records to exist before children can link to them. We migrate in strict order: Accounts first (for company clients), then Contacts (with Account lookups), then Deals (with Contact and Account links), then Line Items (linked to Deals), then Tasks (linked to Deals and Contacts), and finally Attachments. This sequence preserves every relationship in the Ziggu data model.
Run sample migration with field-level verification
A representative slice of 100–500 records migrates first — spanning clients, projects, units, tasks, and attachments. We generate a field-level diff between Ziggu source and Zoho destination so you can verify mapping correctness: unit status values, owner resolution, custom field population, and attachment file sizes. You approve the sample before the full run commits. The diff report highlights any mismatched pick-list values and missing required fields, allowing you to adjust the mapping before proceeding.
Execute full migration with delta pickup and rollback plan
Full migration runs against Zoho CRM using the Bulk API v2, with batch sizes tuned to your API credit allowance. A delta-pickup window (24–48 hours) captures any Ziggu records modified during the cutover. Audit logs record every operation. One-click rollback is available if reconciliation reveals mapping errors. We verify record counts across all modules before declaring migration complete. Final validation includes a cross-module reconciliation report to confirm no duplicate or missing records.
