Overview
CINC Systems is an AI-powered association management and real-estate CRM that structures data as Leads, Contacts, Companies, Deals, and Tasks. CINC stores agent-assigned leads, behavioral lead-tracking events, MLS integration data, and pipeline-stage history. CINC exports data via its REST API (public.cincapi.com/v2/docs/) and CSV exports from the Leads Dashboard. Twenty CRM is an open-source Salesforce alternative built on TypeScript, NestJS, React, and PostgreSQL. It structures data as People, Companies, Opportunities, Notes, and Tasks, with a custom object model available in Pro (10 objects) and Enterprise (unlimited) tiers. FlitStack AI maps CINC Leads and Contacts to Twenty People (splitting by CINC lead status into separate People records where appropriate), CINC Companies to Twenty Companies, CINC Deals to Twenty Opportunities with stage-value mapping, and CINC Tasks to Twenty Tasks. Association labels and behavioral messaging rules do not have native equivalents in Twenty — those are surfaced as custom fields and documented for manual rebuild in Twenty's workflow builder. Activity history (calls, emails, meetings logged in CINC) migrates as Twenty Tasks with original timestamps. Custom CINC fields become Twenty custom fields created via Settings → Data Model before the import. CINC's MLS listing data and accounting module records are outside Twenty's CRM scope and are flagged for separate export and decision-making. The migration runs via CSV export from CINC, field-level mapping in FlitStack, and import into Twenty following Twenty's required sequence: Companies first, then People (linked via companyId), then Opportunities (linked to Companies and People), with custom objects imported last.
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 CINC 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.
CINC
Lead (CINC)
Twenty CRM
People (Twenty)
1:1CINC Lead records map directly to Twenty People. FlitStack preserves the CINC lead status as a custom select field (CINC_Lead_Status__c) on the Twenty People record to maintain report continuity across the migration. Leads without a company association land as standalone People records. Original created dates and agent assignments are preserved as custom datetime and text fields for historical reference.
CINC
Contact (CINC)
Twenty CRM
People (Twenty)
1:1CINC Contact records map to Twenty People. The mapping preserves CINC's contact status (active/inactive) as a custom field. If a CINC Contact is linked to a Company, the companyId is resolved to a Twenty Companies record and linked via the People.company field.
CINC
Lead / Contact split by status
Twenty CRM
People (Twenty)
1:manyCINC distinguishes between Leads and Contacts by status. FlitStack splits on CINC's lead_status field: 'New Lead' and 'Contacted' route to Twenty People with a custom lead_source field; 'Active' contacts land as Twenty People with a customer flag. Status history is preserved in a custom text field for audit.
CINC
Company (CINC)
Twenty CRM
Company (Twenty)
1:1CINC Company records map 1:1 to Twenty Companies. Parent-company hierarchies in CINC map to Twenty's parentCompany relation field. Multi-contact companies are fully preserved — all linked People records reference the same Twenty Company, maintaining the organizational structure from CINC in the migrated data.
CINC
Deal (CINC)
Twenty CRM
Opportunity (Twenty)
1:1CINC Deal records map to Twenty Opportunities with field-by-field translation. Deal name maps to Opportunity.name, amount maps to amount, close_date maps to closeDate, and owner maps to the Opportunity.accountManager field. CINC pipeline stage names are mapped to Twenty Opportunity stage values to preserve deal tracking continuity.
CINC
Pipeline (CINC)
Twenty CRM
Opportunity Stage (Twenty)
1:1CINC Pipelines (which define the stages a Deal moves through) map to Twenty's Opportunity stage configuration. Each CINC pipeline requires a corresponding Twenty stage set. FlitStack maps CINC stage names value-by-value to Twenty stage names, preserving probability and forecast-category mapping if present in CINC.
CINC
Task (CINC)
Twenty CRM
Task (Twenty)
1:1CINC Tasks map to Twenty Tasks with full attribute preservation. Task title, description, due date, assignee, and completion status transfer directly. Linked contacts, companies, or deals in CINC are resolved to Twenty record IDs and linked via Twenty's Task relation fields, maintaining the full task context.
CINC
Behavioral email / call log (CINC)
Twenty CRM
Task (Twenty)
1:1CINC's auto-tracked emails, calls, and texts logged via behavioral messaging are exported as CINC Tasks and mapped to Twenty Tasks with Type='Email' or Type='Call'. Original CINC engagement timestamps are preserved in the Twenty Task's dueDate or custom datetime fields to maintain the complete activity timeline.
CINC
Attachment / File (CINC)
Twenty CRM
File (Twenty)
1:1CINC file attachments on Leads, Contacts, Companies, and Deals are re-uploaded to Twenty. FlitStack downloads each attachment from CINC (respecting file size limits) and attaches it to the corresponding Twenty record. File name and original upload date are preserved as metadata.
CINC
Custom Field (CINC)
Twenty CRM
Custom Field (Twenty)
1:1CINC custom fields on Leads, Contacts, Companies, and Deals become Twenty custom fields. FlitStack creates each custom field in Twenty via Settings → Data Model before the import run. Field type mapping: CINC text → Twenty text, CINC number → Twenty number, CINC picklist → Twenty select.
CINC
Agent / Owner (CINC)
Twenty CRM
Workspace Member (Twenty)
1:1CINC agent assignments on Leads and Deals map to Twenty Workspace Members. FlitStack resolves CINC agent email addresses against Twenty user accounts (invited via Settings → Members). Unresolved agents are flagged before migration — their records are assigned to a fallback Twenty user.
CINC
MLS Integration Data (CINC)
Twenty CRM
Custom Field / Custom Object (Twenty)
1:1CINC MLS listing data (listing ID, status, price, address) attached to Leads or Deals has no native equivalent in Twenty. FlitStack preserves this as custom fields on the relevant Twenty record or as a custom object if the MLS schema is complex. Rebuilding MLS sync in Twenty requires a separate integration.
CINC
Behavioral Messaging Rule (CINC)
Twenty CRM
Workflow (Twenty)
1:1CINC behavioral messaging rules (auto-triggers based on lead behavior) cannot be migrated to Twenty. FlitStack exports each rule's configuration as a reference document for your Twenty admin to rebuild in Twenty's workflow builder. No rule logic transfers automatically — manual recreation is required for each automation.
CINC
Auto-Reassignment Rule (CINC)
Twenty CRM
Workflow (Twenty)
1:1CINC auto-reassignment rules (Switchboard, Sarah, auto-reassign features) have no equivalent in Twenty's native functionality. FlitStack documents the rule conditions so your Twenty admin can build equivalent routing logic using Twenty's workflow conditions and assignees. Each rule must be recreated manually in Twenty's workflow builder.
CINC
Accounting Module (CINC)
Twenty CRM
N/A
1:1CINC's Accounting Module (Accounts Receivable, Collections, TresRE integrations) is outside Twenty's CRM scope. These records are exported as-is for separate processing — CINC's accounting data does not map to Twenty objects and is flagged as out-of-scope in the migration plan for your finance team to handle independently.

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.
CINC gotchas
No audit trail for accounting transactions
Lead data export requires dashboard access
Cephai AI activity records do not export
Single-owner constraint on unit records
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
CINC API data extraction and schema audit
FlitStack connects to CINC via its REST API (public.cincapi.com/v2/docs/) using scoped read access. We export all Leads, Contacts, Companies, Deals, Tasks, and custom field definitions. A schema audit identifies field types, pick-list values, required fields in Twenty, and any CINC-specific objects (MLS data, accounting records) that fall outside Twenty's CRM scope. This step generates the field mapping document that drives all subsequent import operations.
Twenty workspace schema setup
Before data is imported, your Twenty admin (or our team) creates all custom fields identified in the audit via Settings → Data Model. This includes CINC_Lead_Status__c, CINC_Source__c, CINC_Pipeline__c, and any other custom fields that don't map to Twenty native fields. Workspace Members must be invited and accepted in Twenty before the migration runs — owner resolution depends on matching CINC agent emails to Twenty user accounts.
Company import first, then People, then Opportunities
Following Twenty's required import sequence, FlitStack loads CINC Companies first (establishing companyId records), then CINC Leads and Contacts as Twenty People records (resolving the companyId lookups), then CINC Deals as Twenty Opportunities (resolving companyId and linked People). Custom objects are imported last. Each pass includes validation: duplicate detection by email (People), uniqueness checks by company name (Companies), and stage-value validation (Opportunities).
Sample migration with field-level diff
A representative slice — typically 100–500 records spanning Leads, Contacts, Companies, Deals, and Tasks — migrates first. FlitStack generates a field-level diff report comparing source values against destination values for each mapped field. You verify that CINC lead status maps correctly to CINC_Lead_Status__c on People, that deal amounts and close dates are preserved, and that owner resolution by email worked for all matched agents. Unresolved owners are flagged with fallback assignment for your approval before the full run.
Full migration with delta-pickup cutover
The full CINC dataset migrates to Twenty. A delta-pickup window (24–48 hours after the full run) captures any records modified in CINC during the cutover period. FlitStack uses CINC's modified_date fields to identify changed records and re-imports them to Twenty. Audit logs capture every operation. One-click rollback is available if reconciliation identifies data integrity issues — this restores Twenty to its pre-migration state while CINC remains fully operational.
