Overview

What this migration involves

Moving from CRUMP CRM to Twenty CRM means leaving a Dynamics 365-licensed all-in-one suite for an open-source, self-hostable CRM that prioritises developer flexibility and transparent data ownership. CRUMP CRM has no public REST API reference; we access the underlying Dynamics 365 instance directly, which requires admin credentials with sufficient read privileges and is gated by your current Dynamics 365 licence tier. Twenty has no built-in import UI as of 2026 — we use its GraphQL API or a CSV ingestion script with fields pre-created in Settings before any record import. We migrate Contacts, Companies, Opportunities, Tasks, Notes, Tickets, and any enumerated Custom Objects, but not Attachments, Workflows, Automations, or reporting configurations, which require rebuild in Twenty or external tooling post-migration.

Field-level fidelity

Every standard and custom field arrives verified.

Schema-aware mapping

AI proposes the map; you confirm before any record moves.

Relationships preserved

Parent–child, lookups, and ownership stay linked.

Full activity history

Calls, emails, meetings — with original timestamps.

Attachments & notes

Documents, uploads, and inline notes move with the record.

Why teams make this switch

Two sides of the same decision

Leaving

CRUMP CRM logo

CRUMP CRM

What's pushing teams away

  • Steep licensing cost at $75 per user per month compounds quickly for teams beyond 20 seats, making the all-in-one pitch expensive at scale.
  • Built on Dynamics 365, which introduces Microsoft enterprise complexity — licensing tiers, CAL requirements, and admin overhead — that many SMB teams did not anticipate.
  • Being a niche vertical CRM, the community, third-party integrations, and migration tooling are far thinner than mainstream platforms like HubSpot or Salesforce.
  • Lack of transparent tiered feature differentiation on the website makes it unclear what each paid tier unlocks, leading to sticker shock when upgrading.
  • Smaller vendor footprint means fewer third-party connectors, forcing teams into custom API work for common integrations.

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 CRUMP CRM objects map to Twenty CRM

Each row shows how a CRUMP 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.

CRUMP CRM

Contact

maps to

Twenty CRM

People

1:1
Fully supported

CRUMP CRM Contacts correspond directly to Twenty People. We export from the Dynamics 365 Contact entity, map standard fields (full name, email, phone, address) to Twenty's People object fields, and resolve the Owner lookup to a pre-invited Twenty Member by email match. Custom properties on Dynamics 365 Contacts require enumeration during audit and pre-creation in Twenty Settings before import.

CRUMP CRM

Account

maps to

Twenty CRM

Company

1:1
Fully supported

CRUMP CRM Accounts map 1:1 to Twenty Companies. The account name becomes the Company name, and domain information maps to the website field. Parent-child account hierarchies in Dynamics 365 are preserved as Company relations in Twenty. We create the Company before any People import so that the relationship lookup is satisfied at insert time.

CRUMP CRM

Deal

maps to

Twenty CRM

Opportunity

1:1
Fully supported

CRUMP CRM Deals correspond to Opportunities in Twenty. Deal value, close date, pipeline stage, and owner migrate directly. Stage names from Dynamics 365 are mapped to Twenty Opportunity stage values; if the destination pipeline does not yet exist we create it in Settings before migration. Closed-Won and Closed-Lost reasons migrate as custom Opportunity fields.

CRUMP CRM

Project

maps to

Twenty CRM

Custom Object (Project)

1:1
Fully supported

CRUMP CRM's Project Management module stores Projects as a distinct Dynamics 365 entity. We export Project records (name, status, start/end dates, assigned team members) and create a matching Custom Object in Twenty called Project. Task-level detail from the project module may be partial depending on Dynamics 365 licence tier; we document any truncated fields in the migration inventory.

CRUMP CRM

Ticket (Case)

maps to

Twenty CRM

Custom Object (Ticket) or Note

1:1
Fully supported

Helpdesk tickets in CRUMP CRM are Cases in Dynamics 365 terminology. We export ticket status, priority, description, and linked contact. If the destination team uses Twenty's task model for support tracking we map to Tasks with a custom Ticket label field; otherwise we create a Ticket custom object and link it to the originating People record.

CRUMP CRM

Invoice

maps to

Twenty CRM

Custom Object (Invoice)

1:1
Fully supported

CRUMP CRM's bundled invoicing module stores Invoice records with line items, totals, and payment status. We export invoice data and create a matching Invoice custom object in Twenty. The relationship to the originating Deal or Project must be reconstructed from the export since Dynamics 365 may store these links in separate tables. We document the reconstructed relationship in the migration inventory.

CRUMP CRM

Task

maps to

Twenty CRM

Task

1:1
Fully supported

Tasks exist across multiple CRUMP CRM modules (CRM tasks, project tasks, helpdesk tasks). We deduplicate and label each task by its origin module using a custom source_module field. Task status, priority, due date, and assignee migrate directly. HubSpot-style engagement notes are mapped to Twenty Notes linked to the parent record.

CRUMP CRM

User (Team Member)

maps to

Twenty CRM

Member

1:1
Fully supported

CRUMP CRM user accounts and role assignments require explicit mapping to Twenty Members. We resolve by email match. Inactive users in CRUMP CRM are archived rather than imported to avoid ghost records. The customer's admin must invite all active users to Twenty before the migration begins, per Twenty's documentation requirement that referenced users exist before Owner lookups can resolve.

CRUMP CRM

Custom Object (Dynamics 365 custom entity)

maps to

Twenty CRM

Custom Object

1:1
Fully supported

Any custom entities created on top of Dynamics 365 are enumerated during the audit phase. Each custom entity and its fields are documented and mapped individually. We pre-create the matching custom object in Twenty Settings before import, including all custom fields and relationship fields, because Twenty requires fields to exist before CSV import can create records.

CRUMP CRM

Note

maps to

Twenty CRM

Note

1:1
Fully supported

CRUMP CRM notes migrate to Twenty Notes linked via the relation system to the parent People, Company, or Opportunity record. Note body preserves rich text where supported. If the note has attachments these are flagged as a separate file-level pass since binary blob migration through the API layer requires additional handling.

Pair-specific challenges

  • No public API; Dynamics 365 admin credentials required

    CRUMP CRM does not publish a public REST API reference. Migration relies on accessing the underlying Dynamics 365 instance directly, which requires admin credentials with sufficient read privileges on the CRM module. Lower-tier Dynamics 365 licences may restrict which entities are accessible or enforce per-user API call limits. We audit the source org's licence type and entity exposure during scoping and flag any entities that fall outside the licence scope before the migration plan is finalised.

  • Twenty requires fields to exist before CSV import

    Twenty has no built-in import UI as of 2026. Import is done via CSV with fields pre-created in Settings before any records land. If a field does not exist, the CSV column is ignored. We create all standard and custom fields in Twenty Settings before any data import begins, matching the type (text, number, date, select, relation) for each field in the migration inventory. This is a step that must not be skipped.

  • Twenty standard field set is minimal out of the box

    Twenty intentionally ships with sparse standard fields on People and Companies (GitHub issue #13953). Fields like industry, website, employee count, and job title do not exist by default and must be created manually in Settings before importing. For teams migrating from CRUMP CRM which has these fields populated, this means significant pre-migration field creation work in Twenty, or accepting empty values for fields that were full in the source.

  • Sequencing and automation gaps in Twenty

    Twenty lacks native sequencing (a feature present in most sales-oriented CRMs). Reddit users migrating to Twenty report that manual-triggered flows and multi-step follow-up sequences require workarounds or external tooling like n8n. CRUMP CRM includes workflow automation in its bundle. We document any active CRUMP CRM workflows in the migration inventory but do not rebuild them; the customer's admin handles this in Twenty's workflow builder or via an external automation layer post-migration.

  • Attachment and file migration requires separate pass

    CRUMP CRM attachments stored in Dynamics 365 notes or SharePoint-linked document locations require a separate file-level export pass. Twenty's attachment model is not fully documented as a standard object for migration. We do not attempt to migrate binary blobs through the API layer without explicit scoping. We flag any SharePoint-attached documents in the audit inventory and recommend a file-level export with a document mapping table as the replacement approach.

Migration approach

Six steps for a successful CRUMP CRM to Twenty CRM data migration

  1. Discovery and Dynamics 365 licence audit

    We audit the CRUMP CRM instance by enumerating the entities exposed by the underlying Dynamics 365 instance. We identify active modules (CRM, Helpdesk, Project Management, Invoicing), count record volumes per object type, and confirm the Dynamics 365 licence tier assigned to the source org. This determines which entities are API-accessible and flags any that require a licence upgrade before export. We also extract a full list of custom entities and their field definitions for custom object mapping. The discovery output is a written migration scope and a list of any pre-requisite actions (such as licence upgrade or partner-level access provisioning).

  2. Schema design and Twenty workspace preparation

    We design the destination schema in Twenty before any data import. This means creating all required objects (Companies, People, Opportunities, Tasks, Notes, and any custom objects), then creating all fields on each object, then configuring select options, required settings, and relation fields. This step is necessary because Twenty ignores CSV columns for fields that do not yet exist. We also invite all active team members as Members so that Owner lookups can resolve during import. The customer's admin reviews and approves the schema before we proceed.

  3. User reconciliation and Member provisioning

    We extract every distinct CRUMP CRM user referenced on Contact, Account, Deal, Project, Ticket, and Task records and match by email against the Twenty Members list. Users without a matching Member are held in a reconciliation queue. The customer's admin provisions any missing Members in Twenty before record import resumes, because OwnerId references on Opportunities and Tasks cannot resolve without a corresponding Member record in the destination.

  4. Data export from Dynamics 365

    We export data from the Dynamics 365 instance using the appropriate API (web API or OData) with batch chunking and exponential backoff on rate-limit responses. Exports run in dependency order: Accounts first, then Contacts (with AccountId resolved), then Opportunities, then Tasks and Notes, then Custom Objects. Projects and Tickets export last. We flag any entity that falls outside the Dynamics 365 licence scope and escalate before the export phase begins. Each export emits a row-count reconciliation report.

  5. Transform, load, and relationship resolution

    We transform exported records into Twenty-compatible CSV format or GraphQL API payloads. Relationship lookups (People to Company, Opportunity to Company, Task to People) are resolved using the pre-built mapping. Field type transformations handle date formats, phone number normalisation, and picklist value mapping. We run the load in dependency order: Companies first, then People, then Opportunities, then Tasks and Notes, then Custom Objects. Each phase emits a load report with success, warning, and error counts before the next phase begins.

  6. Validation, cutover, and workflow inventory delivery

    We run a reconciliation pass comparing row counts in Twenty against the source export totals, spot-check 25-50 records for field-level accuracy, and validate relationship integrity (People linked to correct Companies, Opportunities linked to correct People and Companies). We deliver a written inventory of every CRUMP CRM workflow, automation, and form with a description of what it does and a recommendation for how to reproduce it in Twenty or external tooling. We do not rebuild automations as part of the migration scope. We support a one-week post-cutover window for reconciliation issues raised during live use.

Platform deep dives

Context on both ends of the pair

  • Per-user pricing model is transparent and easy to budget for growing teams.
  • Built on Microsoft Dynamics 365, providing a structured relational schema under the hood.
  • G2 rating of 4.3 out of 5 indicates acceptable usability for the target SMB segment.
  • Positions itself explicitly against both overbuilt enterprise CRMs and underbaked startup tools.

Weaknesses

  • Pricing of $75 per user per month scales expensively beyond 20–30 seat teams.
  • Niche market position means limited third-party migration tooling, community support, and integrator familiarity.
  • Built on Dynamics 365, which carries Microsoft enterprise licensing complexity that many SMB buyers do not anticipate.
  • No publicly documented API or developer documentation makes self-service migration difficult.
  • Feature tier differentiation is not clearly published, creating upgrade uncertainty.

Destination

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.
  • No native two-way email sync or inbox integration, requiring third-party connectors for full activity logging.
  • Self-hosting 'free' pricing hides real infrastructure and DevOps costs that stack up over time.
  • Workflow automation is functional but lacks the complexity needed for sophisticated multi-step sales motions.
