Overview
Moving from ActiveDEMAND to Twenty CRM is a structural migration from a marketing-automation-forward CRM to a developer-first, open-source CRM. ActiveDEMAND organizes contacts around campaign membership, call attribution, and funnel stages; Twenty CRM uses a People-and-Company model with Opportunities and a Tasks/Notes activity timeline. We resolve that structural difference by exporting Brand Custom Field schemas before data, mapping ActiveDEMAND community assignments to custom People fields or tags, and routing campaign, call, chat, and appointment history into Twenty's native Task and Note objects with proper Person and Company lookups. The Developer Partner Program API enrollment must be initiated early because ActiveDEMAND requires partner approval before we can access REST endpoints programmatically. Workflows, Forms, Landing Pages, and Funnels do not migrate as code; we deliver a written inventory for manual re-creation in Twenty's settings.
Every standard and custom field arrives verified.
AI proposes the map; you confirm before any record moves.
Parent–child, lookups, and ownership stay linked.
Calls, emails, meetings — with original timestamps.
Documents, uploads, and inline notes move with the record.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a ActiveDEMAND 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.
ActiveDEMAND
Contact
Twenty CRM
Person
1:1ActiveDEMAND Contacts map to Twenty CRM People. Standard fields (first name, last name, email, phone) map 1:1. Brand Custom Fields attach as custom fields on the Person object after we export the per-account field schema and recreate it in Twenty's Settings → Data Model before import. Community assignment from ActiveDEMAND's multi-tenant structure maps to a custom People field or tag depending on the destination's community architecture.
ActiveDEMAND
Company
Twenty CRM
Company
1:1ActiveDEMAND Company records map to Twenty CRM Company. Company name, domain, address fields, and industry map directly. The Company-to-Person relationship is preserved as a link in Twenty's Company detail view. Deduplication uses company name and domain as the matching key during import.
ActiveDEMAND
Campaign
Twenty CRM
Task + Tag
1:manyActiveDEMAND Campaigns (email, funnel, multi-channel) do not have a direct Twenty CRM equivalent. We export campaign membership per Contact as a Tag assignment on the Person record (campaign name as tag value), and create a Task record per campaign with the campaign name, type, start date, and status as a reference note. The customer's admin rebuilds campaigns as Opportunity pipelines or grouping tags in Twenty post-migration.
ActiveDEMAND
Call Tracking Record
Twenty CRM
Task (Call subtype)
1:1ActiveDEMAND Call Tracking records (source number, destination number, duration, recording URL, linked Contact) map to Twenty CRM Task with a custom call subtype field. We preserve the recording URL as a URL field on the Task, call duration as an integer field, and the caller Contact link via Twenty's Person lookup. The original call timestamp becomes the Task due date to preserve activity ordering.
ActiveDEMAND
Chat Conversation
Twenty CRM
Note
1:1ActiveDEMAND website chat conversations export as structured conversation metadata and message text. We create a Twenty CRM Note linked to the Person record with conversation timestamp, visitor identifier, and message thread content in the Note body. If the conversation references a Company, we link the Note to the Company as well. Chat sentiment or rating data maps to a custom Note field if configured in Twenty.
ActiveDEMAND
Appointment / Tour Booking
Twenty CRM
Task
1:1ActiveDEMAND Appointments (date, time, status, linked Contact, community reference) map to Twenty CRM Task with title set to the appointment description, due date set to the original appointment date, and status set from ActiveDEMAND appointment status. Community reference from the Senior Living model maps to the custom community field on the Person record already established in the Contact mapping step.
ActiveDEMAND
Contact List / Segment
Twenty CRM
Tag
1:1ActiveDEMAND Contact Lists and Segments are static lists of Contact IDs. We export the full list membership, then create Tag assignments on each Person record in Twenty for every list the Contact belongs to. This preserves segment membership without requiring a separate List object in Twenty.
ActiveDEMAND
Brand Custom Field (schema)
Twenty CRM
Custom Field on Person
lossyActiveDEMAND Brand Custom Field schemas vary per account and must be exported before any Contact data export. We export the full field schema (field name, type, picklist options) and reproduce equivalent custom fields in Twenty's Settings → Data Model. The data export follows the schema recreation so that field values land in the correct destination fields rather than defaulting or being silently dropped.
ActiveDEMAND
Owner
Twenty CRM
Workspace User
1:1ActiveDEMAND Owners map to Twenty CRM workspace users by email match. Owners without a matching Twenty user enter a reconciliation queue for the customer's admin to provision before Person import begins. Owner assignment on Contacts, Companies, and Call Tracking records resolves to the Twenty User ID at migration time.
ActiveDEMAND
Automated Workflow
Twenty CRM
Workflow (manual rebuild)
lossyActiveDEMAND Workflow definitions are complex JSON structures with trigger-delay-action branching. We do not migrate workflows as code. We deliver a written inventory of every active ActiveDEMAND Workflow with its name, trigger conditions, step count, and action types for the customer's admin to rebuild in Twenty v2.0 Workflows or document manually in the new platform.
ActiveDEMAND
Form
Twenty CRM
Form (manual rebuild)
lossyActiveDEMAND Forms and their field definitions export as structured data with HTML/CSS preserved as attachment references. Field-level mapping is required because form field names diverge between platforms. We deliver a form inventory with field mappings and the original form body content for manual reassembly in Twenty or a replacement form tool.

Gotchas + challenges
Platform-specific issues from each side, plus the pair-specific challenges that don't show up on either platform's page on its own.
ActiveDEMAND gotchas
API access requires Developer Partner Program enrollment
Brand Custom Field schemas vary per account and must be exported first
Report dashboards and analytics aggregates are not portable
Multi-tenant community structure requires explicit mapping
Twenty CRM gotchas
Import order is enforced and critical
Export limited to 20,000 records and visible columns only
Soft-deleted records count toward uniqueness and trigger restores
API rate limits cap at 200 req/min on Organization tier
No native email sequences — follow-up cadences require external tools
Pair-specific challenges
Migration approach
Discovery and API enrollment initiation
We audit the ActiveDEMAND account across Brands, Contact volume, Company records, active Campaigns, Call Tracking data volume, Chat conversation history, Appointment records, Brand Custom Field schemas, Contact List memberships, and active Workflows. We initiate the Developer Partner Program enrollment immediately because approval takes one to two weeks. The discovery output is a written migration scope document that itemizes every object to be migrated, the field mapping matrix, and the community mapping strategy for Senior Living accounts.
Schema setup in Twenty CRM
We export the full ActiveDEMAND custom field schema before any data export. In Twenty's Settings → Data Model, we create every custom field required to receive ActiveDEMAND data: community assignment fields, call tracking fields (duration, recording URL, source number, destination number), and any account-specific custom properties. We configure field types (text, number, date, picklist, URL, checkbox) to match ActiveDEMAND field types and set required/unique constraints. The Twenty workspace is validated before any data load begins.
Owner reconciliation and User provisioning
We extract every distinct ActiveDEMAND Owner referenced on Contacts, Companies, Call Tracking records, and Appointments. We match each by email against the Twenty CRM workspace User table. Owners without a matching Twenty User enter a reconciliation queue for the customer's admin to provision before Person import. Migration cannot resolve Person-to-User ownership without this step completed.
Data export and transformation
We export from ActiveDEMAND in dependency order: Brand Custom Field schema definitions first, then Companies, then Persons with custom field values resolved against the schema, then Call Tracking records, Chat conversations, Appointments, and Contact List membership as Tag assignments. Campaign membership exports as a per-person tag list. Each export is validated against the ActiveDEMAND record counts before transformation begins. We apply the community assignment mapping, phone number formatting normalization, and date format standardization during this phase.
Sandbox migration and validation
We run a full migration into a Twenty CRM test workspace (or a cloned environment if available) with production-like data volume. The customer's RevOps lead spot-checks 25-50 Person records against the ActiveDEMAND source, validates community field accuracy, confirms Call Tracking record linkage, and signs off the mapping matrix before production migration begins. Any field mapping corrections happen in this phase, not in production.
Production migration and cutover
We run production migration in dependency order: Companies first, then Persons with Company lookups resolved, then Tasks from Call Tracking records linked to Persons, then Notes from Chat conversations, then Appointment Tasks, then Tag assignments for Campaign membership and Contact Lists. Each phase emits a row-count reconciliation report. We freeze ActiveDEMAND writes during the cutover window, run a final delta migration of any records modified during migration, then enable Twenty CRM as the system of record. We deliver the Workflow and Form inventory document for manual rebuild in Twenty v2.0.
