Overview
AllClients stores contact data as a flat CSV export with Notes in a separate file, while Twenty CRM uses a relational data model where People and Companies are distinct objects linked by foreign keys. This structural difference means we cannot import AllClients contacts directly into Twenty without first establishing the Company-to-Person relationship that drives the CRM's pipeline views and activity attribution. We resolve that dependency during scoping, merge the Notes export into contact records, and preserve Tags as Twenty's native tag model. Workflow definitions and email marketing sequences do not migrate because AllClients does not expose execution state or cadence data via its export tools; we deliver a written map of every automation requiring rebuild in Twenty's workflow engine. The migration runs entirely over CSV because AllClients provides no bulk API endpoint, which constrains throughput on larger datasets but introduces no fundamental compatibility issue with Twenty's REST-based import pipeline.
Every standard and custom field arrives verified.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a AllClients 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.
AllClients
Contact
Twenty CRM
Person
1:1AllClients Contact records map directly to Twenty Person records. We extract Contacts.csv from the Data Migration menu and import it via Twenty's REST API. The Person.CompanyId field is resolved by matching the AllClients contact's company name against Twenty Company records created in a prior pass. Any contacts whose company does not resolve are held for manual review rather than inserted without a link.
AllClients
Contact Notes
Twenty CRM
Comment
1:1AllClients exports Notes as a separate Notes.csv file that is not joined to Contacts.csv. We run a join step using the contact's email address as the key to associate each note with its Person record in Twenty. If the email address changed between exports, we fall back to first and last name matching and flag unmatched notes in a reconciliation report. Notes migrate as Comment records on the Person object.
AllClients
Company
Twenty CRM
Company
1:1AllClients Company property on the contact record maps to a separate Twenty Company object. We deduplicate company names during import using the domain as a secondary dedupe key. Company records are created before Person records so that the Person.CompanyId foreign key is satisfied at the time of Person insert. AllClients does not have a native Companies object; company data lives as a free-text property on each Contact row, so we deduplicate across all contacts to build the Company table.
AllClients
Custom Fields
Twenty CRM
Custom Fields
lossyAllClients account-level custom fields map to Twenty custom fields defined in Settings → Data Model before migration. Each custom field definition is discovered during scoping, and the equivalent Twenty field is created with the matching type (text, number, date, select). Custom field values from the Contact CSV populate the corresponding Twenty custom field at import time.
AllClients
Tags
Twenty CRM
Tag
1:1Tags applied to AllClients contacts are exported as comma-separated values within the contact record. We parse the tag string, create or match each tag in Twenty's Tag table, and create PersonTag records linking the Person to each Tag. Multi-value tag handling is direct since Twenty's tag model natively supports multiple tags per person.
AllClients
Groups / Workgroups
Twenty CRM
Workspace + Custom Field
1:1AllClients Groups are logical contact collections with no independent export. We capture group membership by filtering contact exports by group and recreate each group as a custom multi-select picklist or a dedicated tag on the person record. For named groups with meaningful business context (e.g., VIP Clients, Referral Partners), we create a dedicated Workspace collection and document the membership list for manual enrollment or a post-migration bulk-tag script.
AllClients
Workflows
Twenty CRM
Workflow (rebuild required)
lossyAllClients Workflow definitions are exported as inactive configuration templates. We document the trigger, conditions, actions, delays, and enrollment criteria for each active workflow and deliver a written inventory with recommended equivalents in Twenty's Settings → Workflows. Execution state and historical run data do not export; contacts already enrolled in AllClients workflows will not carry over their enrollment status.
AllClients
Email Templates
Twenty CRM
Not migrated
lossyAllClients email templates are HTML blobs stored under Email Marketing. Twenty has no native email template library. We export email templates as HTML files and deliver them as an asset package for the customer to import into their chosen email platform (Klaviyo, Mailchimp, Postmark). No native email template migration occurs because the destination platform does not store them.
AllClients
Campaigns
Twenty CRM
Not migrated
lossyAllClients Campaigns represent scheduled email sends linked to contact segments. Campaign history (send dates, open rates) is metadata rather than a discrete data object with a schema. We document campaign names and linked contact segments in a written handoff so the customer can recreate segments and schedule sends in their chosen email platform post-migration.
AllClients
Tasks / Follow-up Reminders
Twenty CRM
Task
1:1AllClients tasks attached to contact records are exported as part of the contact export or as a separate task list. We import task titles, due dates, completion status, and assigned owner to Twenty Task records linked to the Person. Task assignment resolves by matching the AllClients user email to a Twenty workspace member.
AllClients
Users / Owners
Twenty CRM
WorkspaceMember
1:1AllClients users are extracted from the user list (typically 1-2 on base plans). We map each user by email to the corresponding workspace member in Twenty. If a Twenty workspace member does not exist for a given user, we hold the OwnerId reference in a reconciliation queue for the customer's admin to provision the account before record import resumes.
AllClients
File Attachments
Twenty CRM
Attachment
1:1Contact file attachments are downloaded from AllClients storage and re-uploaded as Twenty attachments linked to the Person record. Large binary files are chunked to avoid timeout during download. Attachment file names and upload timestamps are preserved where available from the AllClients export metadata.

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.
AllClients gotchas
Contact count limits enforced as hard caps per tier
Notes export separately from main contact CSV
Workflows migrate as inactive templates only
API rate limits are undefined and enforced at vendor discretion
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 scoping
We extract AllClients Contacts.csv, Notes.csv, and the user list from the Data Migration menu. We inventory all custom field definitions by inspecting the Contact CSV headers and cross-referencing with the UpdateCustomFields API. We count distinct company names across all contact rows and assess tag variety. We capture the active workflow list (names, triggers, and action sequences) from the Workflows section. We confirm the target Twenty instance configuration (self-hosted vs. Cloud, single vs. multiworkspace) and enumerate the existing schema. The discovery output is a written scope document covering record counts, field mapping matrix, join logic for Notes, company dedupe strategy, and the workflow inventory.
Notes join and data cleansing
We run the Notes-to-Contact join using email address as the primary key. Contacts with unmatched notes (email changed or notes orphaned) are written to a reconciliation report for customer review. We apply company name normalization across all contact rows (trim whitespace, standardize legal entity suffixes like Inc., LLC, Corp.) to build a deduplicated Company table. We flag duplicate contacts (identical email) and either merge or flag per customer instruction. Custom field values are validated for type consistency (dates in ISO format, numbers numeric, select values within expected range).
Schema preparation in Twenty
We create any custom objects and fields in Twenty via Settings → Data Model before data import. Custom fields from AllClients are mapped to their Twenty equivalents with matching types. If the destination Twenty instance is self-hosted, we verify multiworkspace status and adjust metadata discovery accordingly. Company records are created first using the deduplicated company table, with the domain name used as a secondary dedupe key where available. This establishes the Company table that Person records will reference.
Person import with company resolution
We import AllClients contacts as Twenty Person records, resolving Person.CompanyId by matching the normalized company name from each contact row against the Company table created in the prior step. OwnerId resolves via email match against Twenty workspace members. Tags are parsed from the contact field and PersonTag records are created. Any contacts whose company does not resolve are held with a placeholder company or flagged for manual company creation. Each import batch emits a row-count reconciliation report.
Notes and activity import
Comment records are created by joining the cleaned Notes data to Person records by the resolved Person ID. Tasks are imported as Twenty Task records linked to the owning Person. File attachments are downloaded from AllClients storage and re-uploaded to Twenty. Groups from AllClients are recreated as tags or custom fields on the Person records per the customer's chosen grouping strategy documented during scoping.
Cutover, validation, and handoff
We freeze writes to AllClients during the cutover window, run a final delta pass for any records modified during migration, and confirm the final row counts in Twenty. We deliver the workflow and automation inventory document with recommended Twenty equivalents for each AllClients workflow. We do not rebuild AllClients workflows as Twenty automations inside the migration scope. We support a five-business-day post-cutover window to resolve data discrepancies identified by the customer's team. Admin training on Twenty's Settings workflow builder is outside scope and can be arranged separately.
