Overview

What this migration involves

Atomic CRM and Twenty CRM are both MIT/AGPL-licensed open-source CRMs, but they differ fundamentally in how they expose configuration. Atomic CRM stores custom fields as Postgres columns via Supabase Studio and defines deal pipeline stages and task type enumerations as TypeScript props in the CRM root component — not in the database. Twenty CRM uses a Settings-based data model where pipeline stages and picklist values are created in the UI before data import. We audit the Supabase schema to discover every custom column, request the App.tsx configuration file to capture deal category and task type enums, then replicate those values in Twenty before importing records. We migrate Companies first to satisfy foreign-key lookups, then People, then Opportunities with stage values mapped to Twenty picklists, then Tasks and Notes with their parent record references preserved. Workflows and automations do not migrate; we deliver a written inventory of any Supabase-edge-function-based automation that requires rebuilding in Twenty.

Why teams make this switch

Two sides of the same decision

Leaving

Atomic CRM logo

Atomic CRM

What's pushing teams away

  • Non-technical teams hit a dead end — Atomic CRM ships without a graphical UI for custom fields, user management, or pipeline configuration, requiring developer involvement for any change.
  • The platform lacks out-of-the-box automation, email sequences, and reporting dashboards that sales teams expect from mainstream CRMs, causing adoption to stall after initial setup.
  • Scaling beyond a few hundred active records surfaces the gap between a developer template and a production-grade SaaS — no SLA, no dedicated support, no built-in caching or performance tooling.
  • Teams that grow beyond one or two developers find the maintenance burden high — every upgrade to React, Supabase, or shadcn/ui risks breaking customizations without a test suite to catch regressions.
  • When a co-founder or the single developer maintaining the instance leaves, the CRM becomes orphaned code that nobody else on the team can safely modify or extend.

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 Atomic CRM objects map to Twenty CRM

Each row shows how a Atomic CRM 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.

Atomic CRM

Company

maps to

Twenty CRM

Company

1:1
Fully supported

Atomic CRM Company records map to Twenty CRM Company. The company sector (defined in Atomic CRM's Settings page or Supabase column) maps to Twenty's industry or a custom single-select picklist we create during schema setup. We extract all custom columns on the companies table during the Supabase schema audit and replicate them as custom fields in Twenty before import. Website, size, and phone fields map directly.

Atomic CRM

Contact

maps to

Twenty CRM

People

1:1
Fully supported

Atomic CRM Contact records map to Twenty CRM People. We preserve the link to the parent Company by resolving the Supabase foreign key to the Twenty Company UUID at migration time. Email, name, phone, and any custom columns migrate directly. The contact-to-company relationship requires Companies to be imported first, which we enforce in the migration sequence.

Atomic CRM

Deal

maps to

Twenty CRM

Opportunity

1:1
Fully supported

Atomic CRM Deal records map to Twenty CRM Opportunity. The deal stage (e.g. eCommerce, SaaS, Consulting categories) is sourced from the App.tsx props enumeration, not from the database, so we request the customer share their App.tsx during scoping to capture the exact stage labels. We create matching stage picklist values in Twenty's Opportunity settings before importing. Deal value, close date, and company association migrate directly.

Atomic CRM

Note

maps to

Twenty CRM

Note

1:1
Fully supported

Atomic CRM Notes linked to Contacts or Deals migrate to Twenty Notes with the parent record reference preserved. We resolve the polymorphic or foreign-key relationship from the Supabase schema audit to point the Note to the correct Twenty People or Opportunity UUID after import. Note body migrates as plain text.

Atomic CRM

Task

maps to

Twenty CRM

Task

1:1
Fully supported

Atomic CRM Task records migrate to Twenty Tasks. Task type classification (Call, Email, Meeting) comes from the App.tsx props enumeration, not from a database column, so we enumerate the type values from the shared App.tsx during scoping and replicate them as Twenty Task type options before migration. Task status, assignee, and due date migrate directly. Assignee resolution uses email match against Twenty workspace members.

Atomic CRM

Custom Fields (Supabase columns)

maps to

Twenty CRM

Custom Fields

lossy
Fully supported

Custom fields in Atomic CRM are Postgres columns added via Supabase Studio — they are not UI-configured properties. We run a pre-migration schema diff against a reference export to discover every column on the contacts, companies, deals, notes, and tasks tables. Each discovered column is replicated as a custom field in Twenty's Settings → Data Model before data import begins. Column type mapping: Supabase varchar/text maps to Twenty text, integer/numeric maps to number, boolean maps to boolean, date maps to date.

Atomic CRM

App.tsx prop enumeration

maps to

Twenty CRM

Opportunity Stage + Task Type picklists

lossy
Fully supported

Atomic CRM defines deal categories and task types as TypeScript props passed to the CRM root component in App.tsx, not stored in the database. We cannot read these from the Postgres schema. We ask the customer to share their App.tsx (or equivalent configuration file) during scoping so we capture the exact enum values for pipeline stages and task types. These values are then created as picklist options in Twenty's Opportunity settings and Task type settings before any record import begins.

Atomic CRM

Supabase Auth users

maps to

Twenty CRM

Twenty workspace Members

1:1
Fully supported

Atomic CRM user management relies on Supabase Auth — owner and assignee references on Deals and Tasks use auth UUIDs. We do not migrate Supabase Auth user records directly. Instead, we extract every distinct owner or assignee email from Deals, Tasks, and Notes, then match against the Twenty workspace Members list by email. The customer provisions Twenty workspace members before migration. Any owner without a matching Twenty member goes to a reconciliation queue for admin provisioning before record import.

Atomic CRM

Supabase Storage attachments

maps to

Twenty CRM

File attachments (Twenty)

1:1
Fully supported

Atomic CRM stores file attachments in Supabase Storage buckets when that option is configured. If attachments are present, we export the Supabase Storage bucket contents alongside the database records and attach them to the corresponding Twenty People or Opportunity records. Files stored outside Supabase (e.g. a custom S3 bucket) require separate coordination with the customer. Attachment metadata in Supabase does not migrate — only the binary files and their reference to the parent record.

Atomic CRM

Tags

maps to

Twenty CRM

Tags

1:1
Fully supported

Atomic CRM supports tags on contacts, companies, and deals as of the March 2026 update. Tags migrate to Twenty's tag model. We preserve the tag names and the record associations (contact-tag, company-tag, deal-tag) and recreate them in Twenty during the data import phase. Tags used for categorization also inform whether a custom single-select or multi-select field should be created instead of a flat tag list.

Pair-specific challenges

  • Deal stages and task types live in App.tsx, not the database

    Atomic CRM passes deal categories and task types as TypeScript props to the CRM root component in App.tsx. The actual stage names (e.g. 'eCommerce', 'SaaS', 'Consulting') and task type labels ('Call', 'Email', 'Meeting') are not stored as database values. We cannot read them from the Postgres schema during migration. We request the customer share their App.tsx during scoping. If App.tsx is not available, we infer stage values from the dealstage column (which stores the label as a string) and create matching Twenty picklist options, but this is less reliable than an explicit enum source.

  • Custom fields are Postgres columns, not UI properties

    Custom fields in Atomic CRM are added by creating columns in Supabase tables via Supabase Studio. There is no in-app custom field UI. Every column we do not explicitly discover during the schema audit is silently excluded from the migration. We run a pre-migration schema diff against a reference export of the contacts, companies, deals, notes, and tasks tables. If the customer has added columns without documenting them, those fields appear in the diff and we include them in the Twenty custom field creation step before import.

  • Supabase RLS policies can block bulk writes

    Supabase projects commonly enable Row Level Security policies that restrict insert and update operations by authenticated user role. Our migration user must have the necessary Supabase role permissions to read all tables and write to all tables. We request the customer provide a migration-scoped Supabase service role key during scoping and verify that RLS policies allow bulk reads from and writes to the target tables before migration begins.

  • Twenty requires fields to exist before CSV import

    Twenty's CSV import creates records but does not create fields. Custom fields must be created in Settings → Data Model before any import. We create every discovered custom field (mapped from Supabase columns) as a Twenty custom field during the pre-migration schema setup phase. If a field is missing, the corresponding column in the import CSV is silently ignored and data is lost.

  • Twenty requires users to be invited before owner references can map

    If the migrating records include owner or assignee references (which they do: Deal owner, Task assignee), those users must exist in the Twenty workspace before import. Owner references without a matching Twenty member result in a null or unassigned record. We extract every distinct owner and assignee email from the source data, match by email against the Twenty workspace Members list, and place any unmatched emails in a reconciliation queue for the customer's admin to provision before record import begins.

Migration approach

Six steps for a successful Atomic CRM to Twenty CRM data migration

  1. Supabase schema audit and App.tsx collection

    We request read access to the customer's Supabase project (service role key or scoped anon key with elevated permissions) and run a schema diff across the contacts, companies, deals, notes, and tasks tables. We document every column, its Postgres type, and its nullable/default status. We also request the customer's App.tsx (or equivalent) configuration file to enumerate the TypeScript props for deal categories and task types. We cross-reference the Supabase auth.users table to extract all distinct owner and assignee emails for the Twenty user reconciliation step.

  2. Twenty workspace setup and custom field creation

    We provision the Twenty workspace or verify the existing self-hosted instance is accessible via the Twenty API. We create all custom fields discovered in the Supabase schema audit as Twenty custom fields in Settings → Data Model before any data import. We create all deal stage picklist values (sourced from App.tsx or inferred from dealstage column) in Twenty Opportunity settings. We create all task type options in Twenty Task settings. This phase must complete before CSV import begins because Twenty's import does not create fields.

  3. Twenty workspace member provisioning

    We extract every distinct owner and assignee email from Deals, Tasks, and Notes in the Supabase data and produce a member provisioning list. The customer's admin invites all required users to the Twenty workspace and confirms acceptance before we proceed to record import. Any owner without a matching Twenty member is placed in a reconciliation queue. Migration cannot safely proceed past this step because OwnerId references on Opportunities and Tasks require a valid Twenty User record.

  4. Supabase Storage file export (if applicable)

    If the Supabase project uses Supabase Storage for file attachments, we export the storage bucket contents and map each file to its parent record (People or Opportunity) by filename or record ID pattern. Files stored outside Supabase (e.g. custom S3 buckets) are flagged for separate customer-side coordination. We do not migrate binary blob storage unless explicit file-hosting credentials are provided.

  5. Migration in dependency order

    We run the migration in strict record-dependency order: Companies (no dependencies), then People (with Company UUID resolved from the Company mapping), then Opportunities (with stage values mapped to Twenty picklists and Company UUID resolved), then Tasks (with assignee resolved to Twenty User by email), then Notes (with parent record reference resolved to People or Opportunity UUID). Each phase emits a row-count reconciliation report. Supabase Storage attachments are imported last, after their parent records exist in Twenty.

  6. Cutover, delta sync, and automation inventory handoff

    We freeze writes to the Atomic CRM Supabase instance during cutover, run a final delta migration of any records created or modified during the migration window, then mark Twenty as the system of record. We deliver a written inventory of any Supabase edge-function-based automations that existed in the source, with a description of each trigger and action and a recommendation for rebuilding equivalent logic in Twenty's workflow builder. We do not rebuild automations as code inside the migration scope. Post-migration validation includes matching record counts, spot-checking 25-50 records against the source, and a one-week reconciliation window for the customer's team to report issues.

Most migrations land between four and six weeks for accounts with under 5,000 records and fewer than ten custom columns discovered in the Supabase schema. Migrations with extensive custom fields (over 15 additional columns), multiple deal pipeline categories sourced from App.tsx, or Supabase Storage attachment exports move to seven to ten weeks because of schema auditing, enum extraction, and file export coordination. Twenty requires a pre-import configuration phase (custom fields, picklist values, workspace members) that adds approximately one to two weeks to the timeline.
