Overview

What this migration involves

Actimo is an employee engagement and mobile-first training platform — it does not have a deal pipeline or sales opportunity model. Twenty CRM is a modern open-source CRM with a relational data model built around People, Companies, Opportunities, Tasks, and Notes. The fundamental challenge in this migration is translating Actimo's training completion records, engagement scores, and survey responses into CRM objects that make sense for sales, HR, or customer success use cases in Twenty. We export Actimo data via scoped read access, transform training completion records into custom fields on People, map engagement metrics to custom numeric fields, and import through Twenty's CSV import or GraphQL API. Workflows, learning paths, and sequence configurations in Actimo do not transfer — those must be redesigned in Twenty's workflow builder. We surface the export of Actimo workflow definitions as a rebuild reference so your team can reconstruct engagement automations on the Twenty side.

Field-level fidelity

Every standard and custom field arrives verified.

Schema-aware mapping

AI proposes the map; you confirm before any record moves.

Relationships preserved

Parent–child, lookups, and ownership stay linked.

Full activity history

Calls, emails, meetings — with original timestamps.

Attachments & notes

Documents, uploads, and inline notes move with the record.

Why teams make this switch

Two sides of the same decision

Leaving

Actimo

What's pushing teams away

  • Limited API documentation makes automated migration and deep integration technically challenging
  • Pricing is per-active-user and not publicly published, creating uncertainty during vendor evaluation
  • Small review sample (12 Capterra reviews, 1 G2 review) makes independent validation difficult
  • Platform is narrowly focused on engagement and lacks CRM-style pipeline, deal, or account management objects
  • Competitors like Connecteam offer broader workforce management features at comparable or lower price points

Choosing

Twenty CRM logo

Twenty CRM

What's pulling them in

  • Top open-source CRM on GitHub with 40.6K stars, giving teams full source code access and infrastructure ownership without per-feature licensing surprises.
  • Free self-hosting under AGPL-3.0 means unlimited users and custom objects for the cost of cloud infrastructure alone, typically $20–100/month.
  • Pricing page explicitly mocks competitors for charging add-on fees for API access, webhooks, and workflows — transparency that resonates with RevOps teams burned by Salesforce.
  • Unlimited custom objects and fields with no price impact, letting teams shape the data model to their business rather than forcing business into rigid schemas.
  • Modern TypeScript/React/PostgreSQL stack means developer-led teams can extend, self-host, or integrate without fighting legacy architecture.

Object mapping

How Actimo objects map to Twenty CRM

Each row shows how a Actimo object lands in Twenty CRM, including any object-level transformations, lookup resolution, or schema-design dependencies.

Typical mapping — final map is confirmed during the sample migration step.

Actimo

People (Actimo Contact)

maps to

Twenty CRM

People

1:1
Fully supported

Actimo People map 1:1 to Twenty CRM People records without requiring object-level transformation. Standard fields including first name, last name, email address, phone number, job title, and company association transfer directly from Actimo to Twenty. Custom properties defined on the Actimo Person object must be pre-created as custom fields in Twenty via Settings → Data Model before the import begins, ensuring field name and type compatibility throughout the migration run.

Actimo

Company

maps to

Twenty CRM

Company

1:1
Fully supported

Actimo Companies map directly to Twenty CRM Companies with no intermediate transformation step. Standard fields including company name, domain or website URL, industry classification, employee count, and complete address components (street, city, country) transfer as-is. The Actimo internal company identifier is preserved in a custom text field (source_system_id__c) on the Twenty Company record to maintain traceability and support delta-run de-duplication on subsequent migration passes.

Actimo

Company–Person Association

maps to

Twenty CRM

Company–People Relation

1:1
Fully supported

Actimo's contact-to-company relationship (where one contact can belong to one primary company) maps to the Twenty companyId lookup relation on the People object. Since Twenty enforces a single primary company per Person, any multi-company associations from Actimo require custom multi-select field capture on the People record to preserve the full relationship history. We identify multi-company contacts during the audit phase and configure the appropriate custom field structure before import.

Actimo

Training Completion Record

maps to

Twenty CRM

Custom Field on People

1:1
Fully supported

Actimo Learning Path completion records (which specific training was completed, the completion date, and the final score) have no native equivalent in Twenty CRM because Twenty lacks a learning management system object. We transform these records into custom fields attached to the People record: training_completed__c (multi-select text storing completed path names), completion_date__c (date of most recent training completion), and training_score__c (numeric final score). These fields must be created in Twenty Settings → Data Model before the migration run executes.

Actimo

Engagement Score

maps to

Twenty CRM

Custom Numeric Field on People

1:1
Fully supported

Actimo calculates engagement scores from message opens, pulse survey responses, learning completions, and login frequency using a proprietary weighting formula. Because that calculation logic lives in Actimo's platform and does not transfer, we capture the most recent score as a static custom Number field (engagement_score__c) on the Twenty People record. We also store the calculation date in engagement_score_date__c to indicate when the value was snapshot from Actimo, since the score will not auto-recalculate in Twenty.

Actimo

Pulse Survey Response

maps to

Twenty CRM

Note + Custom Field

1:1
Fully supported

Actimo pulse survey responses have no direct equivalent in standard CRM object models, including Twenty. We import the response text content as a Twenty Note attached to the relevant People record, preserving the full qualitative response. Metadata including the survey name, response submission date, and numeric score value are stored as custom fields (survey_name__c, response_date__c, response_value__c) on that Note record for structured querying and filtering within Twenty's interface.

Actimo

Message / News Post

maps to

Twenty CRM

Note

1:1
Fully supported

Actimo messages and news posts directed at specific people or companies become Notes in Twenty attached to the corresponding People or Company record. The original message body, send timestamp, author name, and open count metrics are preserved as Note metadata and custom fields on the Note. This transformation keeps communication history accessible within Twenty's timeline view while maintaining all original engagement indicators for reference and reporting.

Actimo

Task / Action Item

maps to

Twenty CRM

Task

1:1
Fully supported

Actimo tasks and action items map directly to Twenty Tasks with no object transformation required. Core task attributes including due date, assigned user, completion status (completed vs. open), and parent record link transfer as-is. Actimo task owner assignments are resolved by matching the owner's email address against invited Twenty Workspace Members — if no matching Workspace Member exists, the record is flagged with an unresolved owner for manual resolution before the migration finalizes.

Actimo

Workspace Member (User)

maps to

Twenty CRM

Workspace Member

1:1
Fully supported

Actimo platform users map to Twenty Workspace Members during migration. The critical sequencing requirement is that Twenty Workspace Members must be invited and accepted before any data import runs, because Actimo owner and assignee references on records are stored as email addresses that require a matching Twenty Workspace Member ID to link correctly. We audit Actimo user emails against invited Twenty members during the pre-migration phase and flag any unresolved owners for team invitation or fallback assignment.

Actimo

Learning Path Definition

maps to

Twenty CRM

No Equivalent

1:1
Fully supported

Actimo learning paths (ordered sequences of training content, multimedia assets, and assessment checkpoints) have no equivalent object in Twenty CRM because Twenty does not include a content management or learning management system. Learning path definitions are exported as a structured JSON document and PDF reference that lists each path's module sequence, content references, and completion criteria so your team can manually rebuild the training structure in Twenty's workflow builder or a dedicated LMS.

Actimo

Workflow / Automation

maps to

Twenty CRM

No Equivalent

1:1
Fully supported

Actimo workflows (automated triggers for engagement sequences, onboarding flows, pulse survey timing, and multi-step engagement automations) do not transfer programmatically to Twenty CRM. Twenty's workflow builder (available in Organization tier at $19/user/month) must be used to recreate these automations from scratch. We export Actimo workflow definitions as a structured JSON and PDF rebuild reference that documents every trigger condition, action step, timing rule, and conditional branch so your Twenty admin or implementation partner can systematically reconstruct each automation in Twenty's workflow canvas.

Actimo

Message Analytics (Open Rates, Engagement)

maps to

Twenty CRM

Custom Field on Note

1:1
Fully supported

Actimo message analytics (open rate percentage, click-through rate, delivery status, and engagement timestamps) cannot populate as native CRM metrics in Twenty because Twenty has no message engagement tracking model. We attach these analytics as custom numeric fields to the Note record representing the original Actimo message: open_rate__c, click_rate__c, and delivery_status__c preserve the engagement data for historical reference. These values are static snapshots from Actimo and will not update automatically within Twenty's environment.

Pair-specific challenges

  • Actimo has no Opportunity or Deal object — pipeline must be designed from scratch in Twenty

    Actimo is an employee engagement platform, not a sales CRM. It has no pipeline, deal stage, or opportunity record type equivalent. When migrating to Twenty CRM, the Opportunities object must be designed from scratch — stage names, probability weights, forecast categories, and any deal-specific fields require configuration in Twenty before import data can land in the pipeline. If you need deal tracking in Twenty, that schema design step must happen before the migration runs, not after.

  • Learning path and engagement automation definitions do not transfer — must be rebuilt in Twenty workflows

    Actimo learning paths (ordered sequences of training content), onboarding flows, pulse survey triggers, and engagement automations have no equivalent in Twenty CRM. Twenty's workflow builder (available in Organization tier) must be used to recreate these from scratch. We export Actimo workflow definitions as a structured JSON and PDF reference document, but the automation logic cannot be programmatically converted — your team or a Twenty implementation partner must rebuild these in Twenty's workflow canvas.

  • Training completion records map to custom fields, not native objects — requires pre-migration field creation

    Actimo stores training completion as a separate engagement record object, not as a property on the Person. Twenty CRM has no native training completion object. We transform these into custom fields on the People record (training_completed__c, completion_date__c, training_score__c), but these fields must be created in Twenty's Settings → Data Model before the migration runs. If fields do not exist, the import step will flag them as missing and reject the record unless a field creation pass runs first.

  • Workspace Members must exist in Twenty before owner assignment can resolve

    Twenty CRM's Task assignee, Note author, and People owner fields require a valid Workspace Member ID, which is tied to an invited email address. Actimo owner and assignee references are stored as emails. If an Actimo owner email has no matching invited user in Twenty at migration time, the record is flagged with an unresolved owner rather than imported. We recommend inviting all expected Twenty users before the migration window opens — Twenty's invite system requires email acceptance, which can add 24–48 hours if team members are slow to respond.

  • Engagement scores calculated by Actimo cannot be recalculated in Twenty — historical values must be preserved

    Actimo calculates an engagement score from message opens, training completions, pulse survey responses, and login frequency. That calculation logic lives in Actimo's platform and does not transfer. Once data is in Twenty, there is no mechanism to recalculate the Actimo-era engagement score because the underlying activity log and weighting formula are not exported. We capture the most recent Actimo engagement score as a static custom field (engagement_score__c) on the People record, but this value will not update automatically in Twenty unless you build a custom calculation in Twenty's workflow builder.

Migration approach

Six steps for a successful Actimo to Twenty CRM data migration

  1. Audit Actimo data export and design Twenty CRM schema

    We export all Actimo data via scoped read access — People, Companies, Tasks, Notes, training completions, pulse survey responses, and message analytics. We review the export to identify custom properties on People and Companies, count engagement records per person, and verify company–person associations. Simultaneously, we design the Twenty CRM schema: create the People and Company custom fields (training_completed__c, engagement_score__c, etc.) in Settings → Data Model, and configure stage names in the Opportunities object if deal tracking is required.

  2. Invite Twenty Workspace Members and resolve owner assignments

    Before any data can reference an owner, assignee, or author, Twenty Workspace Members must exist. We prepare an invite list from Actimo owner emails and trigger invites through Twenty's member management. Owner assignments on Actimo records are resolved by email match against invited Twenty users. Any Actimo owner without a matching Twenty invite is flagged with an unresolved assignment — your team either invites them or designates a fallback owner before the migration commits.

  3. Transform engagement records into Twenty custom fields and run sample migration

    Training completion records, pulse survey responses, and message analytics are transformed into the custom field structure defined in Step 1. We run a sample migration against a representative slice (typically 200–500 records) spanning People across different engagement levels, Companies, and a few Tasks and Notes. The sample generates a field-level diff report so you can verify that custom fields populated correctly, engagement scores transferred as static values, and company links resolved to Twenty Company IDs.

  4. Execute full migration with delta-pickup window

    The full migration runs against Twenty CRM using bulk CSV import or GraphQL API batch operations (respecting the 50–200 calls/minute rate limit by plan tier). A delta-pickup window of 24–48 hours captures any records created or modified in Actimo during the cutover period. All operations are logged in an audit trail, and one-click rollback is available if reconciliation fails or record counts do not match the pre-migration baseline.

  5. Deliver Actimo workflow export and rebuild reference

    We export Actimo workflow definitions, learning path configurations, and engagement automation logic as a structured JSON and PDF document. This reference document lists every Actimo workflow with its trigger conditions, action steps, and timing rules so your Twenty admin or implementation partner can recreate these in Twenty's workflow builder. The export does not transfer automatically — it serves as a rebuild specification that your team executes post-migration.

Destination

Strengths

  • AGPL-3.0 open-source license with full source code on GitHub — no vendor lock-in, no sunset risk.
  • Unlimited users and unlimited custom objects on self-hosted, with no feature gating based on headcount.
  • REST and GraphQL APIs available on all paid tiers, not locked behind an enterprise add-on fee.
  • MCP server and webhooks shipped as standard features, not premium upgrades.
  • Modern PostgreSQL-backed data model that developer teams can query, extend, and self-host.

Weaknesses

  • Recent v1.0 release means limited production hardening compared to CRMs with multi-year operational track records.
  • No native email sequencing or sales engagement tools — follow-up cadences require a separate platform.
  • No native two-way email sync or inbox integration, requiring third-party connectors for full activity logging.
  • Self-hosting 'free' pricing hides real infrastructure and DevOps costs that stack up over time.
  • Workflow automation is functional but lacks the complexity needed for sophisticated multi-step sales motions.

Most Actimo-to-Twenty migrations complete in 48–72 hours for under 25,000 records. The longest step is designing the Twenty custom field schema if you have many engagement metrics and training completion records — that schema design runs in parallel with data export and typically takes 2–5 days. Larger migrations over 100,000 Actimo records with complex engagement history extend to 7–14 days. The delta-pickup window adds 24–48 hours after the main migration run.
