Overview
Data Team DDS setups carry contacts, companies, deals, activities, and custom fields into Twenty CRM, which uses a flatter object model built around People, Companies, Opportunities, Tasks, and Notes. The migration maps People to Twenty's People object, Companies directly, and Opportunities to Twenty's Opportunities with stage and amount intact. Custom fields require pre-creation in Twenty Settings before data lands; FlitStack audits the source schema and lists every missing field so your admin can create them in the Data Model section. Activities (calls, emails, meetings) become Tasks and Notes in Twenty, preserving the original date, owner, and notes text, while thread relationships are flattened into discrete rows. FlitStack AI sequences the migration so foreign keys resolve correctly — Companies first, then People with their CompanyId, then Opportunities with their linked People, and finally Tasks and Notes linked to the appropriate People, Company, or Opportunity records. Owner assignments are resolved by email match to Twenty WorkspaceMembers, and any owners without a matching workspace account are flagged for admin invitation before the final import window. Workflows, automations, and sequence logic do not migrate and must be rebuilt in Twenty's workflow builder. The migration uses scoped read access on the source system; your team keeps working in Data Team DDS during cutover while FlitStack captures a final delta window before switching over, ensuring no record changes are missed.
Every standard and custom field arrives verified.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a Data Team DDS 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.
Data Team DDS
Contact / Person
Twenty CRM
People
1:1Direct map. Twenty's People object stores individuals with name, email, phone, job title, and a relation to Companies. If Data Team DDS stores contacts without a linked company, they land in Twenty as standalone People records. All standard fields map directly; custom contact properties must be pre-created in Twenty Settings before import.
Data Team DDS
Company / Account
Twenty CRM
Companies
1:1Direct map. Data Team DDS company records map to Twenty's Companies object. Parent-company hierarchies in Data Team DDS map to the ParentId relation in Twenty's Companies if that structure exists in the source export. Industry and employee count fields migrate as custom selects or numbers if they are present in the source data.
Data Team DDS
Deal / Opportunity
Twenty CRM
Opportunities
1:1Direct map. Twenty's Opportunities object tracks deal name, amount, stage, close date, and linked company and people. Each Opportunity is a single deal row — Data Team DDS deal rows with line items become one Opportunity with the total amount unless your plan calls for splitting.
Data Team DDS
Pipeline / Deal Stage
Twenty CRM
Opportunities.stage
1:1Data Team DDS pipeline stage names map to Twenty's Opportunity stage pick-list values. Stage probability percentages map as-is if the source exposes them, or are set as a custom field on Opportunities. Stage order is preserved for kanban view sequencing.
Data Team DDS
Activity (Call)
Twenty CRM
Task
1:1Data Team DDS call logs migrate as Twenty Tasks with Type='Call' in the subject or a custom type field. Original call date, duration (if stored), owner, and notes are preserved. The Task is linked back to the People record via Twenty's relation field.
Data Team DDS
Activity (Email)
Twenty CRM
Task
1:1Email engagement records map to Twenty Tasks with Type='Email'. Subject line, body content, sent/received timestamp, and owner are migrated. Thread linkage is flattened — individual emails become separate Task records rather than a threaded conversation view. If the source email includes attachments, the file references are preserved as URL attachments on the Task or re-uploaded to Twenty's file storage.
Data Team DDS
Activity (Meeting / Calendar)
Twenty CRM
Task
1:1Meeting records from Data Team DDS map to Twenty Tasks with the meeting title as subject, start/end times as task date fields, and the invitee list as a comma-separated custom field or as linked People records if the meeting-object schema supports it.
Data Team DDS
Note / Free-text Note
Twenty CRM
Notes
1:1Notes migrate as Twenty Notes attached to People, Companies, or Opportunities by their record ID. Rich-text formatting is preserved where Data Team DDS supports it; plain-text notes map without transformation. Each note's creation date and owner are stored as custom datetime and assignee fields to preserve audit trails.
Data Team DDS
Task / To-do
Twenty CRM
Tasks
1:1Data Team DDS tasks and to-dos migrate directly to Twenty's Tasks object. Due date, assignee (resolved by email match to Twenty workspace members), status (open/closed), and subject are all carried over. Any custom task fields (e.g., priority, category) must be pre-created in Twenty Settings before migration, and are imported as custom fields on the Tasks object.
Data Team DDS
User / Owner
Twenty CRM
WorkspaceMember
1:1Data Team DDS owner and user IDs are resolved by email against Twenty workspace members. Users who exist in both systems map by email match. Users present only in Data Team DDS are flagged for your team to either invite to Twenty or assign to a fallback member before migration.
Data Team DDS
Custom Field (contact-level)
Twenty CRM
People custom field
1:1Data Team DDS custom contact properties migrate as Twenty People custom fields. These must be pre-created in Twenty Settings Data Model before migration runs — the CSV import does not auto-create fields. Text, number, date, and select field types are supported natively.
Data Team DDS
Custom Field (company-level)
Twenty CRM
Companies custom field
1:1Data Team DDS custom company properties become Twenty Companies custom fields. Same constraint as People custom fields — create them in Settings before importing data. Industry and employee count may already exist as standard Twenty fields depending on your version.
Data Team DDS
Custom Object
Twenty CRM
Custom Object
1:1Data Team DDS custom objects map 1:1 to Twenty custom objects. Custom-object-to-standard-object relationships that use N:N associations in Data Team DDS may need junction objects in Twenty — this is surfaced in the migration plan before execution. All fields within custom objects are migrated as their respective types, and any missing field definitions are flagged for creation in Twenty Settings prior to the import run.
Data Team DDS
Attachment / File
Twenty CRM
Files (URL reference or re-upload)
1:1File attachments linked to Data Team DDS records are preserved as URL references where the source exposes them. If Data Team DDS stores files internally, FlitStack downloads and re-uploads them to Twenty's file storage. Inline images in notes are extracted and re-hosted.
Data Team DDS
Workflow / Automation
Twenty CRM
Workflow Builder
1:1Data Team DDS workflows, automations, and sequences do not migrate to Twenty. Twenty's workflow builder supports basic field-update and notification automations. FlitStack exports your Data Team DDS workflow definitions as a rebuild reference document for your Twenty admin. Your admin can use this export to recreate each workflow step manually in Twenty's builder, or leverage the v2.0 SDK to implement custom automation logic programmatically.

Migration approach
Discover Data Team DDS schema and target Twenty workspace
FlitStack audits your Data Team DDS environment: enumerates all objects (People, Companies, Opportunities, custom objects), lists every standard and custom field per object, samples data quality metrics, and checks owner/user email coverage. In parallel, we review your target Twenty workspace — confirming which standard fields exist, what custom fields are already created, and verifying that all workspace members with email addresses are invited. This produces a field-mapping document and a Twenty pre-flight checklist before a single record moves.
Create Twenty custom fields and invite workspace members
Your Twenty admin (or FlitStack on your behalf) creates any missing custom fields identified in the audit — People, Companies, and Opportunities custom fields that lack a standard Twenty equivalent. All team members who appear as record owners in Data Team DDS must be invited to the Twenty workspace and accept their invitations before migration runs, because Twenty resolves owner assignments by email match and fails to link records when a user does not yet exist in the workspace.
Run a sample migration with field-level diff
A representative slice of records — typically 200–500 spanning People, Companies, Opportunities, and a handful of activity records — migrates into Twenty first. FlitStack generates a field-level diff comparing each source field value against the corresponding Twenty field value so you can verify that custom field mappings, stage name translations, owner resolution, and date handling all produce the expected result. You approve the sample before the full migration commits.
Execute full migration with scoped read access and delta-pickup
The full data migration runs against Twenty using CSV import (for record volumes under 20,000 per object) or API batch operations (for larger volumes requiring the 20,000-record export workaround). Your Data Team DDS account continues to operate normally — FlitStack holds scoped read access only. A delta-pickup window captures any records created or modified in Data Team DDS during the cutover. An audit log records every operation, and one-click rollback is available if reconciliation identifies a mapping error before you confirm the migration as complete.
