Drupal CRM: Architecture, Migration, and Data Interoperability
Video Description
Drupal CRM is a fully native CRM framework built on top of Drupal, leveraging its entity system, fields, workflows, and permissions to provide flexible contact and relationship management without relying on external platforms.
This session introduces the architecture behind Drupal CRM and explores practical strategies for moving data in and out of the system. We’ll review existing migration paths, including structured migrations using Drupal core’s Migrate API, with current support for CRM Core and OnePageCRM, and planned migrations from RedHen and CiviCRM.
We’ll examine export strategies using Views and demonstrate how JSON:API enables standards-based integrations with external systems and headless applications.
Finally, we’ll cover practical import workflows using Feeds, including field mapping and recurring data synchronization.
Whether you’re evaluating Drupal CRM or planning a migration, this session provides a clear overview of integration and migration options within the Drupal ecosystem.
