Moving from Zoho CRM to Doodali
Zoho CRM exports each module (Accounts, Contacts) as a CSV from its data administration settings.
Updated 30 September 2026
1. Export from Zoho CRM
- In Zoho CRM, go to Setup → Data Administration → Export.
- Choose the Contacts module, include all fields, and export. Do the same for Accounts if you want their details.
- Download the CSV files.
2. Import into Doodali
- In Doodali, open the business you’re bringing across, then go to Settings → Import and export and press Import clients from a CSV (or press Import on the Clients page).
- Choose the file. Doodali reads the column headings and matches them for you: company name, email, phone, address, VAT number, notes, and the contact’s name, email, phone and job title.
- Check the matches. Anything Doodali couldn’t match is set to “Skip”: choose a field for it, or leave it out.
- Press Import. Each row becomes a client with its main contact. More people at a company that’s already there are added as its contacts, and clients already in Doodali are skipped, so you can import again safely.
Tips for Zoho CRM
- The Contacts export includes Account Name: map it to Company name so each company comes across with its people.
