Overview

What this migration involves

Case Status is a client engagement and case-status tracking platform built for law firms — it centers on client records, case-status values, client-intelligence scores, and automations tied to case events. Twenty CRM is an open-source CRM with People, Companies, Opportunities, Tasks, and Notes as its standard objects; it has no native case-management module. FlitStack AI maps Case Status contacts (people), companies, deals (opportunities), tasks, and notes into Twenty's corresponding objects, preserving timestamps, owner emails, and case-status metadata as custom Select and text fields. Case Status automations and sequences have no equivalent in Twenty's workflow builder and must be rebuilt manually — FlitStack exports workflow definitions as a rebuild reference. The migration uses Case Status CSV exports mapped through FlitStack's validation layer, bulk-imported into Twenty's API. A 24–48 hour delta window captures any records modified or created during the cutover so Twenty reflects Case Status's final state at go-live. This includes all contacts updated, deals modified, or new tasks created during the transition window, ensuring a clean handoff without data loss.

Why teams make this switch

Two sides of the same decision

Leaving

Case Status logo

Case Status

What's pushing teams away

  • Firms report that Case Status is a portal layer rather than a full case management system, so they end up paying for both Case Status AND a separate practice management tool, creating double-licensing costs.
  • Some customers cite frustration that automation options feel limited compared to what they can build in their primary CRM, requiring workarounds or third-party integrations for complex client communication sequences.
  • Pricing is not transparently published on the website, and firms report surprise costs when adding the API access tier, premium support, or migration assistance as separate line items.

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 Case Status objects map to Twenty CRM

Each row shows how a Case Status 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.

Case Status

Contact / Person

maps to

Twenty CRM

People

1:1
Fully supported

Case Status contact records migrate to Twenty People. Core fields (name, email, phone, address) map directly. Case-status values (active, pending review, closed) migrate as a custom Select field (Case_Status__c) with original pick-list values preserved so reporting continuity is maintained in Twenty views.

Case Status

Contact Custom Fields (case_intelligence_score, nps_score, client_portal_url, last_case_update)

maps to

Twenty CRM

People (custom fields)

1:1
Fully supported

Case Status stores client-intelligence scores, NPS ratings, and portal URLs as custom contact properties. These have no native equivalent in Twenty's People object and are migrated as custom fields (Client_Intelligence_Score__c, NPS_Score__c, Client_Portal_URL__c, Last_Case_Update__c). Each field's type is matched to the source data type — number fields become Number fields, text becomes Text, URLs become Links.

Case Status

Company

maps to

Twenty CRM

Company

1:1
Fully supported

Case Status company records migrate to Twenty Companies with direct field mapping for name, domain, industry, employee count, and annual revenue. Industry pick-list values are mapped value-by-value against Twenty's default industry options; unmapped values are preserved as-is in a custom text field to avoid data loss.

Case Status

Company Custom Fields

maps to

Twenty CRM

Company (custom fields)

1:1
Fully supported

Case Status custom company fields (billing tier, firm type, referral source) migrate as custom fields on Twenty's Company object. These are created in Twenty's Data Model settings before migration begins. The field type is inferred from the source data — pick-lists become Select fields, dates become Date fields, monetary values become Currency.

Case Status

Deal / Case File

maps to

Twenty CRM

Opportunity

1:1
Fully supported

Case Status deal records (representing active case files) migrate to Twenty Opportunities. Case-specific fields like practice area, opposing counsel, and court venue are created as custom fields on the Opportunity object. Case file amounts map to Opportunity Amount; case-status values use the same custom Select field pattern as contacts — Case_Status__c — so all records share a consistent status dimension.

Case Status

Pipeline Stage / Case Stage

maps to

Twenty CRM

Opportunity Stage

1:1
Fully supported

Case Status pipeline stage values (e.g., Active, Discovery, Filed, Closed) are mapped value-by-value to Twenty Opportunity Stage pick-list values. If Twenty's default stages don't match, custom stage values are created in Settings → Data Model before migration. Stage-enter timestamps are preserved as custom datetime fields on each Opportunity.

Case Status

Task / Action Item

maps to

Twenty CRM

Task

1:1
Fully supported

Case Status tasks migrate to Twenty Tasks with direct mapping for title, due date, assignee, and completion status. Priority values map to a custom Priority field on Twenty Tasks since Twenty's base task object does not include a priority pick-list. Task owner resolution uses email matching against Twenty workspace members.

Case Status

Task Custom Fields (case_id, task_category, billable_hours)

maps to

Twenty CRM

Task (custom fields)

1:1
Fully supported

Case Status tasks carry case-linked fields (case ID, task category, billable hours) that require custom fields on Twenty's Task object. These are created before migration begins and linked to the parent Opportunity via Twenty's relation field system. Billable hours become a Number field; task_category becomes a Select field with the original pick-list values.

Case Status

Note / Case Note

maps to

Twenty CRM

Note

1:1
Fully supported

Case Status notes migrate to Twenty Notes. The note body maps to Note.Body and the title maps to Note.Title. Notes linked to a specific person or company carry the same relation in Twenty. Case-status notes are preserved with their full body text; no truncation occurs for records within the 20,000-record export limit.

Case Status

Automations / Workflows

maps to

Twenty CRM

Workflow (rebuild required)

1:1
Fully supported

Case Status automations and workflows have no equivalent in Twenty CRM. The migration cannot carry them over — they must be rebuilt from scratch in Twenty's workflow builder. FlitStack exports the Case Status automation definitions (trigger conditions, actions, and sequence logic) as a documented rebuild reference so your team or a Twenty partner can reconstruct them in Twenty Workflows.

Pair-specific challenges

  • Automations and sequences have no migration path — rebuild required in Twenty Workflows

    Case Status automations (if/then triggers, email sequences, case-update notifications) are stored in Case Status's proprietary automation engine and cannot be exported in a format Twenty's workflow builder can consume. Twenty's Workflows support branching logic, API-triggered actions, and scheduled triggers — which is more powerful than Case Status's engine — but every automation must be rebuilt from scratch. FlitStack exports your Case Status workflow definitions as a documented rebuild reference so your team or a Twenty partner can reconstruct them. Budget 1–3 weeks for a thorough rebuild depending on automation complexity.

  • Case Status client portal has no equivalent in Twenty CRM — communicate the transition separately

    Case Status includes a branded client portal where clients log in to see case-status updates and documents. Twenty CRM has no native client portal — this feature does not exist in the platform and cannot be migrated or approximated through field mapping. Clients accustomed to the Case Status portal will need a separate communication plan at cutover. Teams typically address this by either building a portal via Twenty's REST API or using a third-party client portal tool. FlitStack preserves the portal URL as a custom field (Client_Portal_URL__c) on each contact for reference.

  • Case Status CSV exports cap at 20,000 records — large firms need batched exports

    Case Status's built-in CSV export utility limits a single export to 20,000 records. Firms with more than 20,000 total records (contacts, companies, deals, tasks, notes combined) must run multiple filtered exports — typically by object type or date range — and FlitStack reassembles them into a unified migration job. This adds 1–2 days to the planning phase. FlitStack's migration plan documents the required export batches upfront so no records are missed.

  • Twenty has no native NPS or satisfaction scoring — client feedback data requires manual workflows

    Case Status's Client Feedback Tracker and NPS scoring feature is a built-in engagement module with automated review requests. Twenty CRM has no equivalent — NPS scores and satisfaction data migrate as custom Number fields (NPS_Score__c, Client_Intelligence_Score__c) that sit statically on the record. To recreate automated review-request workflows, your team must rebuild them in Twenty's Workflow builder using the API-triggered action pattern. This is a medium-effort manual step after go-live that involves setting up scheduled triggers, composing outreach emails, and connecting them to the appropriate contact records.

  • Industry pick-list values may not match Twenty's defaults — unmapped values require a custom field

    Twenty CRM ships with a default industry pick-list (Technology, Healthcare, Legal, etc.) that may not cover every industry value your firm uses in Case Status. Unmapped industry values are not silently dropped — FlitStack preserves them as a custom text fallback field (Industry_Raw__c) alongside the mapped standard field so no data is lost. Before migration, your team can decide whether to extend Twenty's pick-list or accept the custom text fallback for edge cases.

Migration approach

Six steps for a successful Case Status to Twenty CRM data migration

  1. Audit Case Status data and plan export batches

    FlitStack audits your Case Status workspace to inventory all contacts, companies, deals, tasks, and notes. We identify custom fields, case-status pick-list values, client-intelligence metrics, and NPS scores that need custom field creation in Twenty. If your total record count exceeds 20,000, we plan the export batches (by object type or date range) so no records are missed during the CSV export phase. This audit produces a data map document before any data moves.

  2. Create custom fields and stage values in Twenty

    Before migration, your Twenty admin (or FlitStack) creates the custom fields identified in the audit: Case_Status__c, Practice_Area__c, Client_Intelligence_Score__c, NPS_Score__c, Client_Portal_URL__c, and others. Custom pick-list values for case-status and practice area are added to the Data Model. Twenty's Settings → Data Model allows field creation without code — the schema is ready before validation runs. All custom fields are tested for proper data type assignment before the full migration dataset is loaded into Twenty's staging environment.

  3. Export from Case Status and run sample migration

    Case Status CSV exports are pulled in the planned batches and loaded into FlitStack's validation engine. We run a sample migration against a representative slice of your data — typically 100–500 records spanning contacts, companies, deals, and tasks. A field-level diff compares source values against Twenty's imported values so you can verify case-status mapping, owner resolution, and custom field population before the full run commits.

  4. Migrate full dataset with owner resolution and relation wiring

    The full migration runs: Companies first (the 'one' side of relationships), then People (linked via companyId), then Opportunities (linked to Companies and People), then Tasks, then Notes. Owner resolution maps Case Status user emails to Twenty workspace members by email match. FlitStack wires relations using Twenty's relation field system — opportunityId on tasks, companyId on people — so Twenty's kanban and table views populate correctly.

  5. Cut over with delta-pickup and post-migration verification

    Full migration runs against Twenty with a 24–48 hour delta window capturing any Case Status records created or modified during cutover. FlitStack generates an audit log of every operation. A post-migration verification report compares record counts, field-population rates, and relation completeness. One-click rollback is available if reconciliation uncovers discrepancies. Your team then reviews Twenty's workflow builder to begin rebuilding Case Status automations using FlitStack's exported workflow reference.

Platform deep dives

Context on both ends of the pair

Strengths

  • AGPL-3.0 open-source license with full source code on GitHub — no vendor lock-in, no sunset risk.
  • Unlimited users and unlimited custom objects on self-hosted, with no feature gating based on headcount.
  • REST and GraphQL APIs available on all paid tiers, not locked behind an enterprise add-on fee.
  • MCP server and webhooks shipped as standard features, not premium upgrades.
  • Modern PostgreSQL-backed data model that developer teams can query, extend, and self-host.

Weaknesses

  • Recent v1.0 release means limited production hardening compared to CRMs with multi-year operational track records.
  • No native email sequencing or sales engagement tools — follow-up cadences require a separate platform.
