Overview
Moving from Barantum CRM to Twenty CRM is a shift from an Indonesia-focused omnichannel platform with built-in WhatsApp and VoIP to a self-hosted, open-source CRM built as a developer-friendly alternative to Salesforce. Barantum tightly couples WhatsApp conversation history to Contact records; Twenty does not have native WhatsApp support, so chat threads must be extracted as linked Note or activity records during migration. We run a contact-count-to-conversation-count reconciliation check to catch orphaned threads. Barantum's per-3-users pricing tiers map to Twenty's per-seat model during billing reconciliation. Workflow automations built in Barantum require manual reconstruction; we provide a written workflow audit worksheet listing every trigger, condition, and action for your admin to rebuild in Twenty.
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 Barantum 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.
Barantum CRM
Contact
Twenty CRM
People
1:1Barantum Contact records (name, phone, email, profile details, WhatsApp profile linkage) map directly to Twenty People. WhatsApp profile linkage is preserved as a custom field rather than a native reference, since Twenty does not have native WhatsApp integration. The WhatsApp profile URL or phone identifier migrates as a custom property for customer reference. We run a reconciliation check after migration comparing the total Contact count exported to the total People records created in Twenty to catch any dropped records.
Barantum CRM
Company
Twenty CRM
Organization
1:1Barantum Company records serve as parent entities grouping related Contacts. We migrate companies first so that when People records import, we can resolve the organization relationship using Barantum's company name as the match key. Twenty's Organization object accepts domain, industry, and address fields that map from Barantum company properties. Parent-company hierarchies map as Organization self-lookups if the source Barantum data includes them.
Barantum CRM
Deal
Twenty CRM
Opportunity
1:1Barantum Deal records (stage, value, owner, expected close date) map to Twenty Opportunity. Pipeline stages in Barantum are enumerated during discovery and mapped to Twenty Opportunity stage values via a configuration table. We apply the same stage probability percentages from Barantum to Twenty OpportunityStage entries if the customer has configured them. Deal currency fields are preserved as-is; multi-currency deals require a pre-migration currency configuration in Twenty.
Barantum CRM
Lead
Twenty CRM
Person (as leads)
1:1Barantum Leads (captured via forms, imports, or chatbot) migrate to Twenty People with a lead_source custom property carrying the Barantum lead source value and a status custom property mapping the Barantum lead status. We enumerate all Barantum lead status values during discovery and configure matching picklist options in Twenty before migration begins.
Barantum CRM
Ticket
Twenty CRM
Comment or custom Case object
1:1Barantum Ticket records (issue description, status, assigned agent, conversation history) map to Twenty Comment records linked to the relevant Person or Opportunity, or to a custom Case object if the customer prefers a separate support-queue schema. Ticket status values map to a Twenty picklist. Conversation history from ticket threads migrates as multiple Comment entries ordered by timestamp to preserve the support thread sequence.
Barantum CRM
Meeting
Twenty CRM
Task (meeting type)
1:1Barantum Meeting records (title, scheduled time, attendees, outcome notes) map to Twenty Task records with a meeting-type custom label or type field. We preserve the original scheduled timestamp in the Task due date and add meeting attendees as a comma-separated custom field. Recurring meeting patterns in Barantum are documented as a list of individual instances rather than a recurring rule since Twenty does not support native recurring meeting templates.
Barantum CRM
Activity
Twenty CRM
Task
1:1Barantum Activity logs (call logs, notes, task completions tied to Contacts or Deals) map to Twenty Task records. Barantum activity types vary by configuration, so we enumerate all available activity types during discovery and map each to a Twenty Task with a type custom field. Activity timestamps become Task due dates to preserve timeline ordering. Any task completions or call outcomes migrate as Task status values.
Barantum CRM
Chat Conversation
Twenty CRM
Note (linked to Person)
1:1WhatsApp and omnichannel chat histories from Barantum are extracted as separate records and migrated as Note objects linked to the corresponding Twenty Person via ContentDocumentLink. Each conversation thread becomes one Note with the full chat transcript as body text, timestamp, and agent attribution preserved as custom fields. Media file URLs migrate as a text property pointing to downloadable files; inline media does not transfer. Post-migration we reconcile Contact count to Note count to flag any conversation threads without a matching Person record.
Barantum CRM
User/Agent
Twenty CRM
User
1:1Barantum User and agent accounts (name, email, role, extension) migrate as User records in Twenty for owner and assignee mapping. We resolve by email match. Any Barantum User without a matching Twenty User goes to a reconciliation queue for the customer admin to provision before record import resumes. New User seats are not automatically created; the customer controls which agents become active Twenty users.
Barantum CRM
Custom Field
Twenty CRM
Custom Field
1:1Barantum custom fields added to Contacts, Companies, Deals, Tickets, or other objects are enumerated during discovery. We export all custom field values and map them to Twenty custom fields of matching data type, creating any missing fields in Twenty Settings Data Model before import. Text fields, number fields, date fields, and picklist options all transfer directly with type verification to prevent import errors from mismatched data types.

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.
Barantum CRM gotchas
WhatsApp conversation history coupling to contacts
Workflow automations do not export via API
Per-3-users pricing creates minimum seat tiers
Enterprise customizations are man-days priced
API key authentication lacks granular scope controls
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 data audit
We audit the source Barantum CRM environment across all active objects, including Contacts, Companies, Deals, Leads, Tickets, Meetings, Activities, and Chat Conversations. We enumerate custom fields, pipeline stage values, ticket status values, and user accounts. We identify and document every workflow automation in use, along with WhatsApp conversation thread counts per contact. The discovery output is a written migration scope that lists what migrates (with a record count estimate), what maps as a configuration, what requires manual rebuild, and what cannot migrate at all.
Twenty workspace preparation
We configure the destination Twenty workspace before any data import. This includes creating custom fields in Settings Data Model to match Barantum custom field names and data types, creating any custom objects required for ticket or project data, and configuring Opportunity stage values to match Barantum deal stages from the mapping table. We invite all team members who will be assigned as owners or assignees before importing records with user references. Twenty requires all target fields to exist before CSV import begins, which is the most common reason import jobs fail on first attempt.
Sandbox migration and mapping validation
We run a full migration into a Twenty test workspace using production record volumes. The customer reconciles record counts for each object (People in, Organizations in, Opportunities in, Activities in), spot-checks 20-30 records against the Barantum source, and reviews the WhatsApp conversation thread linkage on migrated contacts. Any field mapping corrections, custom field additions, or stage-value corrections happen in the test workspace before production migration begins. This step prevents data correction work in a live environment.
Data extraction and transformation
We export data from Barantum via its REST API using the account's API key, chunking requests to handle pagination. Chat conversation threads are extracted separately and joined to their parent contact records by contact ID. We apply all transformation logic identified during scoping: stage name mapping, custom field type casting, date format normalization, and owner email-to-User resolution. Stale records (Contacts with no activity in over 24 months) are flagged for archival rather than migration to keep the Twenty workspace clean.
Production cutover and parallel-run support
We migrate in dependency order: Organizations first (as parent entities), then People with Organization lookups resolved, Opportunities with Account and Person lookups resolved, Activities and Meeting records with their parent lookups, and Chat Conversations last. Each phase emits a reconciliation report (record count, duplicate count, error count). If a parallel-run period is required, we maintain both systems with a delta-sync window where new records created in Barantum during migration are captured for a final sync pass before cutover.
Validation and workflow handoff
After cutover, we run a final reconciliation comparing Barantum record counts to Twenty record counts for each object, with a focus on the WhatsApp conversation thread linkage check. We deliver the workflow audit worksheet to the customer's admin team and support a 72-hour hypercare window for reconciliation issues raised during the first business day in Twenty. We do not rebuild Barantum workflows as Twenty automations within the migration scope; that work is handled by the customer's admin or a separate implementation engagement.
