Overview
AscendixRE is a commercial real estate CRM built on Salesforce, using Salesforce's standard objects (Account, Contact, Opportunity, Task) plus AscendixRE-specific custom objects for Properties, Listings, Leases, Sales, Availabilities, and Capital Sources. Twenty CRM is an open-source alternative with standard objects for People, Companies, Opportunities, Notes, and Tasks, plus support for unlimited custom objects on its Organization tier. The core challenge in this migration is translating AscendixRE's real estate-specific custom objects — Properties, Listings, Leases — into Twenty's more generic custom object framework, since no direct equivalent exists for commercial real estate domain objects. We map standard Salesforce fields directly to their Twenty counterparts (Account → Company, Contact → People, Opportunity → Opportunity). For AscendixRE custom objects, we create matching custom objects in Twenty, preserve field-level data, and maintain relationship links using Twenty's relation field type. Workflows, process automations, and AscendixRE's commission calculation logic do not migrate — these require manual rebuild in Twenty's workflow builder or via the Twenty API. Our migration mechanism uses Salesforce Bulk API to export from AscendixRE's underlying Salesforce org, transforms records into Twenty's CSV import format, and loads via Twenty's REST API batch endpoints. A delta-pickup window captures in-flight changes during cutover.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a AscendixRE 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.
AscendixRE
Account
Twenty CRM
Company
1:1Direct 1:1 map. Twenty's Companies object stores organization records with fields for name, domain, industry, and employee count. Salesforce AccountId references in contacts and opportunities resolve to the migrated Company record by name or domain matching. For duplicate account names we apply a disambiguation rule using the website domain, and we preserve the original Salesforce Account ID in a source_system_id field for audit trail.
AscendixRE
Contact
Twenty CRM
People
1:1Direct 1:1 map. Twenty's People object replaces Salesforce Contact. Email, phone, job title, and address fields map directly. The companyId relation links each person to its parent Company record. Owner resolution happens by email match against Twenty workspace members; if an email matches multiple members, the first match is used and a warning is logged. We store the original Salesforce Contact ID in a source_system_id field for traceability.
AscendixRE
Opportunity
Twenty CRM
Opportunity
1:1Direct map for standard deal fields: deal name, amount, expected close date, and stage. Stage values require pick-list mapping because Twenty uses a Select field rather than Salesforce's StageName picklist with probability weights. We preserve original stage-entered timestamps as custom datetime fields in Twenty.
AscendixRE
Task
Twenty CRM
Task
1:1Salesforce Tasks map to Twenty Tasks. Subject, due date, status, and assigned user transfer directly. Status values are mapped: Not Started becomes Open, In Progress stays In Progress, Completed stays Completed. Tasks linked to Contact, Account, or Opportunity retain their parent record link via Twenty's relation field system; tasks without a parent are imported as standalone records. Completed tasks preserve their original completion timestamps, and we store the original Salesforce Task ID in a source_system_id field for audit trail.
AscendixRE
Note
Twenty CRM
Note
1:1Salesforce Notes migrate to Twenty Notes. Body content, title, and parent record links transfer. Rich-text formatting in Salesforce notes is converted to plain text in Twenty's note body field; HTML tags are stripped, preserving basic line breaks. Inline images in notes require separate download and rehosting, and we store the original Salesforce Note ID in a source_system_id field for traceability.
AscendixRE
Property__c (AscendixRE custom)
Twenty CRM
Property (Twenty custom)
1:1AscendixRE's Property__c object has no direct Twenty equivalent. We create a Property custom object in Twenty's data model, map property name, address, type, square footage, and year built fields, and preserve the original Salesforce Property ID in a source_system_id field for traceability. The custom object must be created in Twenty before migration runs.
AscendixRE
Listing__c (AscendixRE custom)
Twenty CRM
Listing (Twenty custom)
1:1Listing__c tracks active listings in AscendixRE. We recreate this as a Listing custom object in Twenty, mapping listing status, asking rent, available square footage, and lease type fields. The Listing-to-Property lookup becomes a Twenty relation field once both custom objects exist in the workspace.
AscendixRE
Lease__c (AscendixRE custom)
Twenty CRM
Lease (Twenty custom)
1:1Lease__c stores lease records with tenant name, lease start and end dates, rent amounts, and property links. We create a Lease custom object in Twenty and map these fields directly where field types align. Multi-tenant lease structures requiring junction records are surfaced in the migration plan for admin review.
AscendixRE
Capital_Source__c (AscendixRE custom)
Twenty CRM
CapitalSource (Twenty custom)
1:1Capital_Source__c tracks capital providers in AscendixRE. We create a CapitalSource custom object in Twenty with fields for source name, type (equity/debt), target investment range, and contact associations. The migration plan includes the relationship mapping for linking capital sources to deal Opportunities.
AscendixRE
Availability__c (AscendixRE custom)
Twenty CRM
Availability (Twenty custom)
1:1Availability__c represents available spaces within a property. We create an Availability custom object in Twenty with fields for space type, floor number, available square footage, and asking rent per square foot. The Availability-to-Property relation maps via Twenty's relation field type.
AscendixRE
Salesforce Attachment
Twenty CRM
Note
1:1Salesforce Attachments store file binary data with a ParentId link. Twenty lacks a native binary attachment object, so attachments migrate as Note records with a link to the original file stored externally. The migration plan specifies file size limits and whether files should be rehosted to Twenty's storage or a linked external service.
AscendixRE
User (Salesforce Owner)
Twenty CRM
WorkspaceMember
1:1Salesforce User records owning opportunities and contacts resolve to Twenty Workspace Members. Owner resolution uses email address as the matching key. Unmatched owners are flagged before migration so the team can either invite them to the Twenty workspace or reassign records to a fallback owner before data lands.

Pair-specific challenges
Migration approach
Export schema inventory from AscendixRE Salesforce backend
We connect to the underlying Salesforce org backing the AscendixRE instance using Salesforce Bulk API. We retrieve the full object list including standard objects (Account, Contact, Opportunity, Task, Note) and all AscendixRE custom objects (Property__c, Listing__c, Lease__c, Availability__c, Capital_Source__c). For each object we capture field names, field types, pick-list values, and relationship fields (lookup and master-detail). This inventory drives the schema mapping plan for Twenty.
Design Twenty custom object schema based on AscendixRE inventory
We create the schema design document mapping each AscendixRE object to a Twenty equivalent. Standard Salesforce objects map directly to Twenty's built-in objects (Account → Company, Contact → People, Opportunity → Opportunity). AscendixRE custom objects require new custom object definitions in Twenty — we document the required field types, select options, and relation fields for each. The team creates these objects in Settings → Data Model before data migration runs. We provide a step-by-step schema setup guide so no custom object is missing when records land.
Resolve owners and validate workspace membership
We extract all Salesforce User records from the AscendixRE org and match them against the Twenty workspace members list by email address. Any user without a corresponding Twenty account is flagged in a pre-migration report. The team either invites those users to the Twenty workspace or designates a fallback owner (a designated admin account) before migration. No record migrates without a resolvable owner — this prevents orphaned deals and contacts in Twenty.
Run sample migration with field-level diff
A representative slice of 100–500 records migrates first, covering a cross-section of object types: contacts across multiple companies, open and closed opportunities, tasks with various statuses, and at least one record from each AscendixRE custom object. We generate a field-level diff report comparing source and destination values for every mapped field. The team reviews the diff to verify owner resolution, custom object relationships, and stage value mapping before the full run commits.
Execute full migration with delta-pickup window
The full data migration runs against Twenty using bulk export from Salesforce followed by transformation into Twenty's CSV import format or batch API calls. After the initial load completes, a 24–48 hour delta-pickup window captures any records created or modified in AscendixRE during the cutover period while the team transitions to Twenty. All operations are logged in an audit trail. One-click rollback reverts the Twenty workspace to its pre-migration state if reconciliation uncovers critical issues.
