Overview
Moving from Cirrus CRM to Twenty CRM is a structural migration that trades Cirrus's built-in ERP synchronization layer for Twenty's open-source data ownership model and modern GraphQL API. Cirrus CRM's quote-to-order workflow is native and bidirectional with the connected ERP; we verify sync health at scoping time because stale Deal, Order, and financial fields in Cirrus CRM reflect an offline or broken ERP connection, not a data error. We migrate in the correct dependency sequence (Companies, Contacts, Deals, Quotes, Orders) to preserve the referential integrity Cirrus CRM relies on for ERP linkage. Custom fields on Contacts, Companies, and Deals require field-by-field validation before import because Cirrus CRM tenant schemas are not universally exported. Twenty CRM's views, workflows, and permissions must be rebuilt manually post-migration; we deliver a written inventory of every active Cirrus CRM pipeline configuration, automation trigger, and custom field for the customer's admin to reconstruct.
Every standard and custom field arrives verified.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a Cirrus 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.
Cirrus CRM
Company
Twenty CRM
Company
1:1Cirrus CRM Company records map directly to Twenty CRM Company. The credit information fields and geographic enrichment (latitude/longitude) stored in Cirrus CRM migrate as custom fields on the Twenty CRM Company record. Company is the first object imported because Contacts and Deals depend on a resolved CompanyId. We validate that all required Company fields (name, domain) are populated before import and flag duplicates based on domain match for the customer's admin to resolve.
Cirrus CRM
Contact
Twenty CRM
Person
1:1Cirrus CRM Contact records map to Twenty CRM Person objects. Standard fields (name, email, phone, address) migrate directly. The Contact-to-Company relationship migrates as a PersonCompanyRelation record in Twenty CRM, preserving the original association. Custom fields on Contact are mapped field-by-field after the customer confirms the Cirrus CRM tenant schema configuration during scoping.
Cirrus CRM
Deal
Twenty CRM
Opportunity
1:1Cirrus CRM Deals map to Twenty CRM Opportunity records. The monetary value, close date, and stage label migrate as-is. Note that Cirrus CRM pipeline definitions (stage order, automation triggers, win/loss criteria) are not stored on the Deal record; we treat stage labels as static text fields unless the customer explicitly requests pipeline configuration migration. We flag any Deals with stage labels that do not match an existing Twenty Opportunity stage for manual mapping before import.
Cirrus CRM
Pipeline
Twenty CRM
Opportunity Pipeline (configuration)
lossyCirrus CRM pipeline configurations require manual recreation in Twenty CRM because pipeline definitions are stored in the platform schema, not in the Deal record. We deliver a written map of every Cirrus CRM pipeline with its stage names, stage order, and probability percentages. The customer's admin creates the corresponding Opportunity pipeline and stages in Twenty CRM Settings before the Deal import phase. This step gates the Deal migration; we cannot import Deals without a resolved pipeline.
Cirrus CRM
Quote
Twenty CRM
Custom Object (Quote)
1:1Cirrus CRM Quotes carry line items and product associations and are referenced by Order records. Twenty CRM does not have a native Quote object as standard, so we create a Custom Object named Quote with fields for quote number, total amount, status, and line item JSON. The Quote-to-Deal relationship is preserved by storing the parent Opportunity ID on the Quote record. The customer confirms during scoping whether quotes should be migrated as formatted objects or simplified Opportunity-level records.
Cirrus CRM
Order
Twenty CRM
Custom Object (Order)
1:1Cirrus CRM Orders are generated from Quotes and linked to ERP records. We create a Custom Object named Order with fields for order number, order date, total amount, and status. The Order-to-Quote relationship and the Order-to-ERP-reference are stored as custom fields on the Order record. Order-to-invoice relationships are migration-critical for teams planning to continue ERP sync; we preserve the ERP invoice reference in a custom field for the customer's admin to reconnect in their middleware layer post-migration.
Cirrus CRM
Activity (Call, Email, Meeting, Task)
Twenty CRM
Task or Note
1:1Cirrus CRM Activities log calls, emails, meetings, and tasks tied to Contact or Deal records. We migrate the activity record and its timestamp; the activity display format (timeline view vs. list) differs between platforms. Calls and meetings migrate as Task records with a custom type field; emails migrate as Note records attached to the Person or Opportunity; standalone tasks migrate as Task records. We preserve the activity timestamp and the associated Person or Opportunity ID for timeline integrity.
Cirrus CRM
Campaign
Twenty CRM
Custom Object (Campaign)
1:1Cirrus CRM Campaigns track objectives and campaign-level metrics. Twenty CRM does not have a native Campaign object as standard. We create a Custom Object named Campaign with fields for campaign name, status, start date, end date, and budget. Individual campaign member associations (which Contacts are in which Campaigns) are stored as CampaignMember records linking Person to Campaign. The customer confirms the scope of campaign member migration during scoping because large campaign histories can extend migration time.
Cirrus CRM
Custom Field (on Contacts, Companies, Deals)
Twenty CRM
Custom Field
lossyCirrus CRM custom fields require field-by-field mapping because Cirrus CRM tenant schemas are not universally exported. We ask the customer to provide a screenshot or export of their Cirrus CRM field configuration before migration, then validate field types (text, number, date, picklist) in a test batch of 50 records before committing to the full dataset. Custom fields are created in Twenty CRM Settings before the parent record import. Type mismatches (text vs. number, date format) are resolved in the transform layer before import.
Cirrus CRM
User (Owner)
Twenty CRM
WorkspaceMember
1:1Cirrus CRM User records map to Twenty CRM WorkspaceMember. We resolve owners by email match across both platforms. Any Cirrus CRM User without a matching Twenty CRM WorkspaceMember is held in a reconciliation queue for the customer's admin to provision before record import resumes. OwnerId is required on Opportunity records; migration cannot proceed past Opportunity import until all referenced owners are provisioned.
Cirrus CRM
Attachment
Twenty CRM
Attachment (via URL or file reference)
1:1Cirrus CRM attachments are exported as individual files named by record and file type. A Contact with three attachments produces three files. We batch-associate these to the correct Twenty CRM Person, Company, or Opportunity record by filename parsing and provide a manifest mapping each file to its target record. Files exceeding 10 MB are flagged for manual handling. The customer confirms whether attachments should be stored in Twenty's file storage or in an external S3-compatible bucket.

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.
Cirrus CRM gotchas
ERP sync health determines migration data freshness
Quote-to-Order associations require explicit migration order
Custom field schema differs per tenant
Pipeline stage definitions are not exported with deals
Attachment export produces individual files per record
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 ERP sync health check
We audit the source Cirrus CRM environment across objects in scope (Companies, Contacts, Deals, Quotes, Orders, Activities, Campaigns, Custom Fields, Attachments, Users). We check ERP sync status and identify any records updated before the last confirmed sync timestamp. We ask the customer to provide a screenshot or export of their Cirrus CRM custom field configuration and pipeline definitions. The discovery output is a written migration scope with record counts per object, a flag list of stale financial records, and a custom field inventory for the customer to confirm.
Twenty CRM workspace preparation and schema creation
We create the Twenty CRM custom objects (Quote, Order, Campaign) and all custom fields on standard objects before any data import. The customer provisions WorkspaceMembers by email invitation so that User records exist before Owner references are resolved on migrating records. We verify that all Opportunity pipeline stages referenced in the Cirrus CRM Deal records have corresponding stage values in the Twenty CRM Opportunity configuration. This step gates the Deal import phase.
Sandbox migration and reconciliation
We run a full migration into a Twenty CRM test environment using production-like data volume. The customer reconciles record counts (Companies in, Persons in, Opportunities in, Quote and Order records in, Activities in), spot-checks 25-50 random records against the Cirrus CRM source, and signs off the schema and mapping before production migration begins. Any mapping corrections, custom field type adjustments, and pipeline stage mismatches are resolved here.
Owner reconciliation and WorkspaceMember provisioning
We extract every distinct Cirrus CRM User referenced on Contact, Company, Deal, Quote, Order, and Activity records and match by email against the Twenty CRM destination workspace. Users without a matching WorkspaceMember go to a reconciliation queue. The customer's admin provisions any missing WorkspaceMembers before record import resumes. This step gates the Opportunity import because OwnerId is required on all Opportunity records in Twenty CRM.
Production migration in dependency order
We run production migration in record-dependency order: Companies (first, as all Person and Opportunity records depend on CompanyId), Persons (with CompanyId resolved), Opportunities (with stage mapping confirmed and OwnerId resolved), Custom Objects Quote and Order (with parent Opportunity ID preserved), Activities (Tasks, Notes via API), Custom Object Campaign (with CampaignMember associations). Quote and Order line items are migrated as JSON-formatted fields within the parent record because Twenty CRM does not have a native line-item sub-object. Each phase emits a row-count reconciliation report before the next phase begins.
Attachment association and file manifest delivery
We associate exported attachment files to the correct Twenty CRM record by filename parsing. Files under 10 MB are processed in the migration batch; files over 10 MB are flagged for manual handling. We deliver a manifest CSV mapping each file to its target record (Person, Company, or Opportunity) and the recommended storage approach (Twenty native file storage vs. external S3-compatible bucket). The customer reviews the manifest and confirms the storage decision before cutover.
Cutover, validation, and automation rebuild handoff
We freeze Cirrus CRM writes during cutover, run a final delta migration of any records modified during the migration window, then enable Twenty CRM as the system of record. We deliver the pipeline configuration map, Quote and Order schema documentation, and automation trigger inventory to the customer's admin team. We support a one-week hypercare window where we resolve reconciliation issues raised by the customer's team. We do not rebuild Cirrus CRM automation triggers, ERP sync configurations, or quote-generation workflows in Twenty CRM; those are documented for the customer's technical team to implement as part of the post-migration integration build.
