Overview
Moving from APSIS One to Twenty CRM is a cross-category migration from a profile-centric marketing automation and CDP platform to an open-source CRM built on React, Node.js, and PostgreSQL with a GraphQL API. APSIS One organizes data around Profiles with Attributes, Tags, Events, and Segments; Twenty CRM uses Persons, Companies, Opportunities, and Activities. There is no direct object-to-object equivalent for Automation Flows or Segments, so we document those for manual rebuild in Twenty's workflow builder. We preserve Profiles as Persons with the full Attribute set migrated as custom fields, Tags mapped to Twenty's Topic tagging, and Event histories mapped to Activity records with timestamps. CRM integration records synced from webCRM, Efficy, Microsoft Dynamics 365, or Lime CRM export as Person and Company records with a written re-sync plan. Consent records migrate exactly to preserve opt-in status across channels.
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 APSIS One 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.
APSIS One
Profile
Twenty CRM
Person and Company
1:manyAPSIS One Profiles contain both individual contacts and organizational data depending on how the account uses the CRM integration layer. We split Profiles by detecting whether the APSIS profile carries CRM-sourced account fields (company name, industry, employee count) or individual fields (first name, last name, personal email). Profiles with organizational data become Twenty CRM Companies with a primary Person record; Profiles with individual data become standalone Persons. The original APSIS profile ID is preserved in a custom field apsis_profile_id__c for audit and cross-reference.
APSIS One
Attribute
Twenty CRM
Custom field on Person or Company
1:1Standard APSIS One Attributes (email, first_name, last_name, phone, address) map to Twenty CRM's built-in Person fields. Custom Attributes migrate as Twenty CRM custom fields created during schema design, with field type inferred from the APSIS data (text to TEXT, numeric to NUMBER, date to DATE, boolean to CHECKBOX, multi-value to MULTI_SELECT). Attribute values with no corresponding Twenty field are held in a custom JSON field apsis_attributes__c for post-migration review.
APSIS One
Tag
Twenty CRM
Topic on Person or Company
1:1APSIS One Tags are flat string labels applied to Profiles. They export as a list per Profile and migrate to Twenty CRM's Topic tagging system. We create Topic records matching the APSIS tag names and link them to the migrated Person or Company via TopicAssignment. Tags used for segmentation logic are flagged in the segment rebuild inventory so the admin can recreate those groupings as filtered Person views in Twenty.
APSIS One
Event
Twenty CRM
Activity (Task or Event)
1:1APSIS One Events with type email_open, email_click, form_submit, page_view, and custom event types map to Twenty CRM Activity records. We preserve the event type in a custom field apsis_event_type__c and the original event timestamp in the Activity's dueDate. Events with no timestamp are skipped and logged. The Activity subject uses the event type as a prefix for filtering in Twenty's timeline view.
APSIS One
Segment
Twenty CRM
Written rebuild inventory
lossyAPSIS One Segments are dynamic or static audience groupings with rule-based logic that has no direct equivalent in Twenty CRM. We export the segment definition (rule conditions, operator logic, filter stack) as a written specification document during scoping. The customer's admin rebuilds each segment as a Twenty CRM Person filter view or a custom field grouping. Complex multi-condition segments are flagged as higher-effort rebuild items.
APSIS One
Automation Flow
Twenty CRM
Written rebuild inventory
lossyAPSIS One Marketing Automation Canvas Flows have no public API export. We capture flow screenshots, trigger conditions, action steps, and branch logic during the discovery call and document them in a written rebuild specification per Flow. The customer's admin or a developer uses Twenty's workflow primitives to reconstruct the logic. Multi-branch Flows with time delays and CRM actions are flagged as highest-effort rebuilds.
APSIS One
CRM Integration Record (Contact, Account, Deal)
Twenty CRM
Person, Company, Opportunity
1:1APSIS One's bidirectional CRM sync with webCRM, Efficy, Dynamics, and Lime maps Contact records to APSIS Profiles and Account/Deal records to CRM-linked Attributes. We export the current CRM-sourced data as Person and Company records in Twenty. Sync re-establishment requires re-pairing the CRM integration on the destination side and triggering a full resync; we deliver a written integration-rebuild checklist for the customer's IT team.
APSIS One
Consent Record
Twenty CRM
Custom opt-in fields on Person
1:1APSIS One Consent 2.0 stores opt-in flags and timestamps per channel (email, SMS) as Profile Attributes. We preserve consent exactly as typed fields on the Twenty CRM Person record (email_consent__c, sms_consent__c, email_consent_date__c, sms_consent_date__c) to avoid re-permissioning campaigns. This is critical for GDPR compliance on the migrated audience.
APSIS One
Section
Twenty CRM
Workspace
lossyAPSIS One Sections organize Segments and Flows within the account hierarchy. We map Section names to Twenty CRM Workspace names and document the workspace-subworkspace structure. If Twenty CRM's workspace model differs from the customer's Section hierarchy, we create a recommended workspace mapping in the migration documentation.
APSIS One
Channel Configuration (Email, SMS)
Twenty CRM
Written integration plan
1:1APSIS One channel configurations (sending limits, sender identities, domain authentication) are account-level settings not tied to individual Profile records. We capture channel preferences per Profile as consent attributes and document the DNS and sending domain configuration as a written handoff. Re-establishing email sending infrastructure (SPF, DKIM, custom tracking domain) in Twenty requires separate configuration outside the migration scope.

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.
APSIS One gotchas
Per-profile-key rate limit of 10 req/s
Request body capped at 100 kB
CRM sync state not fully exportable
Automation Flows lack API export
Pricing based on audience size and send volume
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 APSIS One API scoping
We audit the APSIS One account via the Profile Data Export API and Profiles in Segment Report endpoints, capturing Profile count, Attribute schema, Tag set, Event type distribution, Segment definitions, Flow screenshots and structure notes, Section hierarchy, and CRM integration configuration. We also identify the target Twenty CRM deployment (self-hosted or cloud) and confirm the instance is provisioned and reachable with a valid API token. The discovery output is a written migration scope covering record counts, schema mapping draft, and a Flow rebuild priority list.
Schema design in Twenty CRM
We design the destination schema in Twenty CRM, creating custom fields on Person and Company to host migrated APSIS Attributes that have no built-in equivalent. We create Topics for APSIS Tags, configure workspace structure matching the APSIS Sections, and set up custom fields for consent records. Custom fields use the apsis_ prefix to indicate migrated origin fields. Schema is deployed into the Twenty instance before any data import begins.
Test migration to staging environment
We run a test migration using a subset of APSIS One Profiles (typically 500-1,000 records) into a staging or shadow Twenty instance. The customer's admin reviews Person and Company records for field accuracy, Topic assignments, Activity timeline integrity, and consent field preservation. We reconcile record counts and spot-check 25-50 records against the APSIS source. Any mapping corrections are made before the production migration begins.
Profile export with rate-limit handling
We export APSIS One Profiles using the Profile Data Export API, respecting the 10 req/s per profile-key rate limit by throttling requests and batching attribute updates. Large Profile payloads with extensive event histories are chunked across multiple paginated requests. We checkpoint the export state at each profile-key boundary to enable resume on 429 responses. Event histories are exported separately and linked to the parent Profile records during the import phase.
Production import in dependency order
We run production import into Twenty CRM in dependency order: Companies first (from CRM-account records), then Persons (with AccountId resolved for CRM-linked records), then Topics and TopicAssignments (for Tags), then Activities (from Event history, mapped to the resolved Person or Company), then consent fields. Each phase emits a row-count reconciliation report. We use Twenty's GraphQL API with batch mutation support and exponential backoff on rate-limit responses.
Segment and Flow rebuild handoff
We deliver the written segment rebuild inventory and the Flow rebuild specification document to the customer's admin team. The documents include rule-condition translations from APSIS One segmentation syntax to Twenty CRM filter view configurations, and step-by-step trigger-action descriptions for each APSIS Flow. We support a one-week post-migration window for questions on the handoff documents. We do not rebuild Segments or Flows as code inside the migration scope.
