What You Can Migrate
Zoho CRM stores data in separate modules. You can export each module individually:- Leads — prospective customers who have shown interest
- Contacts — individual people linked to accounts
- Accounts — companies or organizations
- Deals (Opportunities) — active and closed sales opportunities
- Activities — calls, tasks, and meetings
- Notes — text notes attached to records
- Custom fields — any additional fields you have configured
Step 1: Export Your Data from Zoho CRM
Zoho exports each module as a separate CSV file. You will need to repeat this process for each module you want to bring into Knowlix (e.g., Leads, Contacts, Accounts, Deals). To export a module:- Sign in to Zoho CRM as an admin
- Click the gear icon (⚙) in the top-right corner to open Setup
- Under Data Administration, click Export
- Select the module you want to export from the dropdown (e.g., Contacts)
- Optionally set a criteria (e.g., filter by Created Time) to narrow down records
- Click Export — Zoho will prepare a
.zipfile containing your CSV - Once ready, click the download link to save the file to your computer
Download link validity: The export download link is valid for 7 days. Download it promptly after the export is ready.

Exporting Notes Separately
To export notes attached to records:- Go to Setup > Data Administration > Export
- Click the Notes tab
- Select the module whose notes you want to export
- Click Export Notes — a CSV file will download (max 3,000 at a time)
Step 2: Upload to Knowlix
Once you have your CSV files from Zoho:- Go to Settings > Import in Knowlix
- Select Zoho CRM as the source platform
- Upload your exported CSV files one module at a time
- Knowlix will automatically detect the module type and map the columns
Step 3: Review & Confirm
Before the import is finalized, Knowlix shows you a field mapping preview. Here you can:- Verify that Zoho columns (e.g., “Last Name”, “Account Name”) are correctly matched to Knowlix fields
- Correct any mismatches by using the dropdown to reassign columns
- Choose whether to skip or import records with missing required fields
- Click Confirm Import to start the migration
