Zoho Migration & Spreadsheet Kill List
Ten agenda items for the Zoho build: what has actually migrated off Keep, which systems are being retired and in what order, and the spreadsheet list that doubles as the build spec.

Dave’s Zoho migration has been running 5 months with no end date. The agenda below is ordered so that nothing gets switched off before the work it still carries has somewhere else to live.
01 — CRM Migration
1. CRM Migration Completion (Keep → Zoho)
High priority
- Current status check — what’s done, what’s pending since December
- Contact migration: all Keep contacts → Zoho (synced or duplicated?)
- Pipeline stages: Lead → Consult → Retained → Docs → Filed → Discharged
- Lead source tracking — currently fragmented between Keep, Zoho, and manual spreadsheets. Need single-source attribution per lead.
- Automation workflows: what moved over, what’s still running in Keep
- Hard deadline: 60 days to kill Keep entirely. What blocks that?
02 — Four Eyes
2. Four Eyes — Retire, Sequenced
Kill Prerequisite before retirement
Order of operations
1. Rehome collections tagging into Zoho. 2. Verify it in production. 3. Then retire both versions — not before.
- Two versions exist (Zoho Four Eyes + Keep Four Eyes). Neither is accurate.
- Dispositions not recording correctly (Danielle confirmed)
- Prerequisite: rehome collections tagging into Zoho and verify it
- What does Dave need to replace Four Eyes reporting natively in Zoho?
- Call analytics: CTM data → Zoho dashboards instead of Four Eyes

04 — Items 4 to 10
The rest of the agenda
Seven remaining items to walk with Dave. Expand each for the detail and the direct asks.
Contract / Signature Automation High
- Currently: Dropbox Sign with 2–5 min manual fill per client
- Can Zoho Sign replace Dropbox Sign? Or can Zoho auto-populate Dropbox Sign templates?
- Three agreements per BK client: Initial Retainer → Pre-Petition → Post-Petition
- Data should flow: Zoho deal record → auto-fill contract fields → send for signature → status updates back to Zoho
- 3,109 hires/year × 2–5 min manual fill = 100–260 hours of copy-paste annually
Texting Consolidation Kill
- Kill Fix Your Funnel — move to Zoho-native or CRM texting
- Kill Connect texting — redundant
- Practice Panther texting: character limits, no notifications — can’t be primary
- Need: one inbox, one notification system, one thread per client in Zoho
Intake Form Rebuild Medium
- Current: 2019 PDF — outdated, unused fields, missing employment type
- Need: Zoho CRM form with drop-downs/radio buttons (Ana Guerrero’s request)
- Auto-populate from consult data (consultant fills during call)
- Editable fee field needed
- Calendar color-coding for appointment types (decision made during onsite)
- Ask Dave: Has Valeria Escobar’s alternative intake form been reviewed? Ana rejected it for bad UX — what was wrong?
Round-Robin Scheduling High
- Cherry-picking problem: phone agents selecting preferred attorney calendars
- Anna Barajas enthusiastically approved round-robin during onsite
- Ask Dave: Can Zoho handle round-robin assignment to consultants/attorneys with calendar availability checks?
Automated Folder Creation Medium
- Currently manual: SharePoint folder per case (naming: last, first), Best Case folder per case (copy-paste SSN, contacts)
- Can Zoho trigger folder creation in SharePoint via workflow? Or Zapier bridge?
Dashboard Requirements High
- Replace Helene’s weekly marketing meeting data (PCLC: leads/sets/shows/hires by source)
- Replace Chris’s manual conversion reporting
- Replace Selene’s manual filing volume tracking
- Pipeline view: how many cases at each stage, how long they’ve been there, who’s blocked
- Billing: AR aging, bounce rate, payment plan status
- Phones: answer rate, call volume, calls by agent (replace broken Four Eyes)
Zoho Migration Documentation High
- Dave is a single point of failure. No documentation of what’s been migrated or configured.
- Need: migration decision log, what’s done vs pending, configuration notes
- If Dave goes on vacation or leaves, where does the migration stand?
Bottom line: Dave’s Zoho migration has been running 5 months with no end date. Needs a hard 60-day deadline, a documented plan, and the spreadsheet kill list above as his build spec. Valeria B’s 10 spreadsheets are the most detailed functional requirements he’ll ever get — she already defined what the system needs to do.
