Overview
Bushel CRM structures its data around a Company-centric model: contacts (People), linked companies, and deals (Opportunities), with notes and tasks logged per record. It integrates with ERP systems for agribusiness operations including scale tickets, contracts, and grain bookings. Bushel exports contacts, companies, deals, and activities via its API in structured formats. Twenty CRM uses People, Companies, and Opportunities as its core objects with a standard CSV import UI and a REST/GraphQL API (100 req/min on Pro, 200 req/min on Organization). Twenty's import order requires Companies first, then People, then Opportunities, then Custom objects — parent records must exist before child records can reference them. We map Bushel contacts to Twenty People, Bushel companies to Twenty Companies, and Bushel deals to Twenty Opportunities. Notes migrate as Twenty Notes. Tasks migrate as Twenty Tasks with original create dates. Custom agribusiness fields (account manager assignments, farm demographics, delivery destinations) require Twenty custom field creation before import. Bushel workflows and task automations do not have a Twenty equivalent — they must be rebuilt using Twenty's workflow builder (Pro and Organization plans). The migration runs via read access to the Bushel API, a transformation layer, and the Twenty REST/GraphQL API. Your team continues working in Bushel throughout the cutover; a delta window captures any records modified during the final hours before switchover.
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 Bushel 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.
Bushel CRM
Person / Contact
Twenty CRM
People
1:1Bushel contacts map 1:1 to Twenty People. The primary company association in Bushel translates to the companyId relation in Twenty. Email, phone, job title, and address fields map directly. Original create timestamps preserved as a custom datetime field since Twenty sets CreatedAt at import time.
Bushel CRM
Company / Account
Twenty CRM
Companies
1:1Bushel company records map to Twenty Companies. Company name, domain, industry, number of employees, and annual revenue fields translate directly. Parent-child company hierarchies in Bushel map to the parentId field in Twenty. Multi-contact companies maintain all linked People records in the migration.
Bushel CRM
Deal
Twenty CRM
Opportunity
1:1Bushel deals map to Twenty Opportunities. Deal name becomes Opportunity name, deal amount maps to amount, close date maps to expectedCloseDate, and stage names map to Twenty stage pick-list values. Stage entered timestamps preserved as custom datetime fields for reporting continuity.
Bushel CRM
Deal Stage
Twenty CRM
Stage (Opportunity)
1:1Bushel pipeline stage values map to Twenty Opportunity stage pick-list values on a value-by-value basis. Each Bushel stage name is matched to the closest Twenty stage; if no exact match exists, the stage is created in Twenty before migration runs. Probability values per stage are re-applied on the Twenty side.
Bushel CRM
Account Manager
Twenty CRM
Workspace Member / Custom field
1:1Bushel account manager assignments do not map to a native Twenty owner field — Twenty does not have a built-in owner field on People or Companies equivalent to Salesforce's OwnerId. We resolve account manager by email match against Twenty Workspace Members and populate an Account_Manager__c custom field; unmatched managers are flagged before migration.
Bushel CRM
Task
Twenty CRM
Task
1:1Bushel tasks map directly to Twenty Tasks. Task title, due date, body, status, and linked record associations migrate with original create timestamps. Status values map to Twenty's boolean completed field: completed tasks become completed=true, open tasks remain false. Linked record references are resolved using the migrated record IDs.
Bushel CRM
Note
Twenty CRM
Note
1:1Bushel notes map to Twenty Notes. Note body, author, and linked record associations migrate with original create timestamps. Notes attached to People, Companies, or Opportunities are re-linked using migrated record IDs. Rich-text formatting in Bushel notes is preserved where the source format is compatible.
Bushel CRM
Custom Object: Farm Demographics
Twenty CRM
Custom Object
1:1Bushel farm demographics (production history, on-farm storage capacity, delivery destination references) are agribusiness-specific data that does not have a Twenty standard object equivalent. We migrate this as a Twenty custom object. The custom object and its fields must be pre-created in Twenty Settings → Data Model before the migration runs, using the Bushel field definitions as a specification.
Bushel CRM
Custom Object: Delivery Destination
Twenty CRM
Custom Object
1:1Bushel delivery destinations (linked to contracts and scale tickets) migrate as a Twenty custom object. The custom object schema — including address fields, linked company references, and contract associations — is documented in the migration plan. N:1 relationships to Companies use Twenty's relation field type.
Bushel CRM
Attachment / File
Twenty CRM
External URL field / Custom field
1:1Bushel file attachments (contracts, scale tickets, signed documents) do not migrate into Twenty's native file storage. We download files from Bushel, upload to Twenty's supported storage layer via their SDK, and store the resulting file URLs as a custom URL field on the relevant record. If Twenty's Organization plan (with expanded storage) is not available, a note directs users to the external storage location.
Bushel CRM
Workflow / Automation
Twenty CRM
Workflow (must be rebuilt)
1:1Bushel workflow definitions and task automation rules do not have a Twenty equivalent and cannot be migrated. We export the Bushel workflow configuration as a JSON specification that the Twenty admin can use as a reference when rebuilding automations in Twenty's workflow builder. Workflow rebuild is outside the data migration scope.
Bushel CRM
ERP Integration Link
Twenty CRM
Custom field / External reference
1:1Bushel's native ERP integration (pulling in scale tickets, contract data, cash bids from the agribusiness ERP) does not exist in Twenty. Mapped ERP field values that exist as data in Bushel migrate as custom fields; the actual integration must be rebuilt separately using Twenty's API or a middleware tool.

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.
Bushel CRM gotchas
Bushel Contract lifecycle stages are non-standard and require explicit mapping
Scale Tickets and commodity financials map as notes, not native objects
Bushel API is not publicly documented with published rate limits
ERP integration dependency can inflate migration complexity
Document eSign records are not migrated as binary files
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
Data audit and export from Bushel CRM
We audit your Bushel workspace to identify all objects in use: People, Companies, Deals, Notes, Tasks, and any custom agribusiness objects. We test the Bushel API export for each object, verify record counts, check for data quality issues (duplicate records, missing required fields, malformed timestamps), and document the export format. The audit output is a data readiness report that identifies what can migrate cleanly and what needs pre-migration cleaning.
Prepare Twenty workspace schema
Before data lands in Twenty, we deliver a schema setup specification based on the Bushel data audit: custom field definitions, custom object schemas, and the field types needed for agribusiness data (farm demographics, delivery destinations, storage capacity). Your Twenty admin creates these in Settings → Data Model. We also provide the list of Workspace Members who need to be invited so their email addresses are available for owner resolution before the migration runs.
Resolve owners and build the object dependency graph
We match Bushel account manager values against Twenty Workspace Members by email. Unmatched managers are flagged with the option to invite them to Twenty or assign their records to a fallback member. Simultaneously, we build the object dependency graph (Companies → People → Opportunities → Custom objects) to generate the correct load order. This step produces the migration execution plan that governs the sequencing of all subsequent steps.
Run test migration with field-level diff
A representative slice migrates first — typically 200–500 records across People, Companies, Deals, Notes, and Tasks. We generate a field-level diff between the source Bushel values and the destination Twenty values for each record so you can verify that custom field mappings, stage values, and owner resolution are correct before the full run commits. Any mapping errors are corrected and the test is re-run until the diff is clean.
Full migration with delta pickup and rollback plan
The full migration runs against Twenty using the sequenced load order: Companies first, then People, then Deals, then Custom objects. A delta-pickup window (24–48 hours) captures any records created or modified in Bushel during the cutover. Audit logs capture every operation. One-click rollback is available if reconciliation fails. Your team continues working in Bushel throughout the cutover window — scoped read access only, no disruption to active selling or customer operations.
