Overview

What this migration involves

Moving from Delivra to Twenty CRM is a structural migration from a contact-centric marketing platform to a relational CRM. Delivra organizes data around Contacts, Custom Tables with 1:1, 1:many, and many:many relationship types, Campaigns, and contact-triggered Workflows. Twenty CRM uses a Person-Company relationship model with Opportunities and a full activity timeline. We extract the full Delivra contact schema, flatten or restructure Custom Table relationships into Twenty custom objects or custom fields, preserve engagement history (opens, clicks, SMS events) as custom fields on the Person object, and carry lead scoring values into a numeric custom field. We do not migrate Delivra workflows, automations, email templates, forms, or landing pages as code; these require rebuilding in Twenty's equivalent tools, and we deliver a written inventory documenting every item requiring re-creation. Teams migrating from Delivra to Twenty typically cite three structural drivers: moving from a contact-centric model to a person-company CRM architecture better suited for sales pipeline management, escaping Delivra's per-contact pricing for Twenty's per-user model, and gaining open API access with self-hosting options for data sovereignty and infrastructure control.

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

Delivra

What's pushing teams away

  • Email client compatibility issues with Google Mail, Microsoft Outlook, and Outlook Portal cause rendering problems that require additional testing and workarounds across campaigns.
  • Automation complexity becomes a barrier as teams scale—users report that building and maintaining sophisticated workflows requires significant time investment and technical understanding.
  • Integration ecosystem limitations make it difficult to connect Delivra with the full stack of tools teams use, particularly for custom or niche CRM integrations beyond standard connectors.
  • Some users find the platform challenging to navigate initially, with a learning curve that slows adoption for new team members joining mid-campaign.
  • Pricing at scale becomes a consideration—costs increase significantly with larger contact lists, prompting teams to evaluate alternatives when they outgrow mid-tier plans.

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 Delivra objects map to Twenty CRM

Each row shows how a Delivra 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.

Delivra

Contact (with company data)

maps to

Twenty CRM

Person + Company (linked)

1:many
Fully supported

Delivra contacts with an associated company organization map to a Twenty Company record (created first) followed by a Person record with a link to the Company via the personCompany field. We use the contact's primary organization name to create or match the Company record, then link the Person to it. All contact properties (email, name, phone, custom fields, tags, lifecycle stage) migrate to the Person object with the original lifecycle stage preserved in a custom field for audit.

Delivra

Contact (without company data)

maps to

Twenty CRM

Person

1:1
Fully supported

Delivra contacts with no associated company organization migrate as standalone Person records in Twenty. Email, name, phone, address, custom field values, and tag values map directly. Subscription status and GDPR consent flags migrate to personOptOutEmail and a custom gdprConsentDate field. This is the simplest migration path: a single flat record with no parent-lookup resolution required.

Delivra

Custom Tables

maps to

Twenty CRM

Custom Objects or custom fields

lossy
Mapping required

Delivra Custom Tables with 1:1, 1:many, and many:many relationships require schema extraction before any mapping design. If the custom table is a flat extension of the Contact record with no independent existence, we denormalize foreign key values into Person custom fields. If the custom table represents an independent entity with its own relationships (for example, a Subscriptions table linked to both Contact and a Product), we create a separate custom object in Twenty and document the lookup relationships for manual recreation. This is the most complex mapping type in a Delivra-to-Twenty migration and drives timeline and cost significantly.

Delivra

Campaign

maps to

Twenty CRM

Written inventory (Campaign metadata)

lossy
Fully supported

Delivra campaign records include name, status, targeting criteria, and associated content. Twenty CRM does not have a native Campaign object in the standard data model. We extract campaign metadata (name, status, associated contact lists, targeting filter criteria) into a written inventory document that the customer uses to recreate campaigns in Twenty manually or via the API. Campaign email content requires HTML export and re-creation in Twenty's template system.

Delivra

Automated Workflows

maps to

Twenty CRM

Written inventory (Workflow logic)

lossy
Mapping required

Delivra workflows built with the visual workflow builder include triggers, conditions, decision branches, time delays, and action sequences. Twenty CRM has workflow and sequence tools, but they are architecturally different and do not accept workflow exports from Delivra. We document every active workflow with its full logic tree (trigger event, each condition branch, every action and delay) and provide a recommended Twenty workflow equivalent. The customer's admin rebuilds the workflows post-migration.

Delivra

Segments and Lists

maps to

Twenty CRM

Written inventory (Segment criteria)

lossy
Mapping required

Delivra segment definitions use filter conditions based on contact properties, engagement behaviors, and list membership. We extract each segment's full criteria (property names, operators, values, logical AND/OR grouping) into a written inventory. Segments do not migrate as active filters; the customer recreates them using Twenty's filter and view system, referencing the inventory document for the original criteria.

Delivra

Lead Scoring

maps to

Twenty CRM

Person custom field

1:1
Mapping required

Delivra lead scoring models assign point values to contact attributes and behaviors. We export the numeric score and any scoring model rules as a custom field on the Twenty Person object (leadscoScore__c as a number field). The scoring model logic itself (which properties contribute points and at what weight) is documented separately for the customer to re-implement in Twenty manually or via a scoring automation rebuilt post-migration.

Delivra

Email Templates

maps to

Twenty CRM

Written inventory (Template HTML)

lossy
Mapping required

Delivra email templates built with the drag-and-drop editor export as HTML content and design metadata. We extract the HTML body, subject line, preheader, and any dynamic content blocks into a structured document. Email template recreation in Twenty requires manual re-build in Twenty's template editor or API-based HTML import. Complex conditional content blocks and dynamic personalization tokens may require additional specification documentation.

Delivra

Forms and Landing Pages

maps to

Twenty CRM

Written inventory (Form and page definitions)

lossy
Mapping required

Delivra web forms and landing pages built in the visual editor have field definitions, layout configuration, and submission routing logic. We document the field names, types, validation rules, and any custom CSS or styling. Visual form builder output does not migrate; the customer recreates forms in Twenty's equivalent form tools or via a third-party form builder integrated into Twenty. Landing pages require re-creation in a separate landing page tool or within Twenty's available capabilities.

Delivra

Users and Roles

maps to

Twenty CRM

User

1:1
Mapping required

Delivra user accounts with name, email, and role-based permissions migrate as User records in Twenty. We match by email address. Roles and permission structures are platform-specific and must be re-created manually in Twenty's workspace settings. We export the role name and permission matrix as a configuration reference document for the customer's admin.

Delivra

Engagement Data

maps to

Twenty CRM

Person custom fields or Note records

1:1
Mapping required

Delivra engagement history (open events, click events, SMS events, engagement scores) attached to contact records migrates as custom fields on the Twenty Person object or as Note records linked to the Person. Open and click counts become numeric custom fields on Person (engagementOpenCount__c, engagementClickCount__c). SMS event history migrates as a structured Note or as a custom SMS history field. Twenty does not have a native engagement timeline equivalent, so this data is searchable via custom field queries but not visible in the standard activity timeline.

Delivra

Contact Custom Fields

maps to

Twenty CRM

Person or Company custom fields

1:1
Fully supported

Every custom field defined on a Delivra contact record maps to an equivalent custom field on the Twenty Person object. Field data types translate as follows: text to text, number to number, date to date, checkbox to boolean, dropdown to select, multi-select to multi-select. Required-field constraints on Delivra do not automatically replicate to Twenty; we document required fields as a configuration recommendation for the customer to apply in Twenty settings post-migration.

Pair-specific challenges

  • Import sequence is mandatory in Twenty CRM

    Twenty CRM requires records to be loaded in a strict dependency order: custom object schemas first, then Companies (the one side of relationships), then People (with company links resolved), then Opportunities (with company, person, and owner lookups resolved), then custom object data records, then engagement history. Failing this order produces orphan records: People with no company link, or Opportunities referencing People or Companies that do not yet exist. We manage this sequencing explicitly and emit a reconciliation report after each phase to confirm lookup integrity before the next phase begins.

  • Custom Table relationships require denormalization or restructuring

    Delivra Custom Tables with 1:many and many:many relationship types do not map 1:1 to Twenty's custom object model. The relational structure must either be flattened by storing the foreign key value as a denormalized text field on the target record (simpler, but loses native relationship querying), or decomposed into separate custom objects with documented lookup fields that the customer re-creates manually in Twenty. We extract the full schema including relationship types and foreign key fields during the discovery phase and present both options with tradeoffs to the customer before migration design begins.

  • Engagement history does not appear in Twenty's native activity timeline

    Delivra stores open events, click events, and SMS event history directly on the contact record as queryable engagement data. Twenty CRM's native timeline surfaces Activities, Tasks, Notes, and Emails, but not open/click/SMS data in a timeline view. We store engagement data as custom fields on the Person object or as structured Note records. Customers querying historical engagement data in Twenty after migration must access these custom fields directly or use a custom view; it will not appear as a native timeline entry like an email or meeting does.

  • Delivra API specifications require support contact

    Delivra does not publish its API reference in the public knowledge base. Technical specifications must be requested via Delivra Support. This means migration scoping cannot self-serve field name and data type verification without Delivra's involvement. We contact Delivra Support early in discovery to obtain the API schema before designing the migration map. If the schema is not available before the migration design phase begins, the timeline extends to accommodate back-and-forth coordination with Delivra Support.

  • Workflows, automations, and templates require manual rebuild

    Delivra workflows, email templates, forms, and landing pages are platform-specific structures that do not export in a format compatible with Twenty CRM. We deliver a written inventory of every active workflow, template, and form with its full configuration for the customer's admin to rebuild. This is a post-migration admin task, not part of the data migration scope. Workflow rebuild complexity varies significantly with workflow branch count and conditional logic depth.

Migration approach

Six steps for a successful Delivra to Twenty CRM data migration

  1. Discovery and schema extraction

    We audit the Delivra account to capture contact volume, all custom field definitions, Custom Table schemas (including relationship types and foreign key fields), active workflow count and complexity, engagement history volume, and lead scoring model rules. We extract the full contact property list and any custom field definitions from Delivra. The discovery output is a written migration scope document that specifies the recommended object mapping, import order, items that migrate as data, and items that require written inventory for post-migration rebuild.

  2. Delivra API coordination

    We contact Delivra Support to obtain API technical specifications including field names, data types, and endpoint structure. We coordinate SFTP export configuration for bulk data extraction if API access is insufficient for the migration volume. This step cannot be bypassed; without Delivra's technical schema, we cannot design field-level mapping with confidence. We begin this coordination in parallel with discovery to avoid timeline impact.

  3. Target schema design in Twenty CRM

    We design the destination schema in Twenty CRM. This includes creating custom objects to receive denormalized or restructured Custom Table data, defining custom fields on the Person and Company objects for engagement history and lead scoring values, and planning the import sequence for all record types. Schema design is validated in a Twenty test workspace before production migration begins. We coordinate with the customer's Twenty admin to apply the schema design via the Twenty workspace settings or API.

  4. Test migration and reconciliation

    We run a full test migration into a Twenty test workspace using production-equivalent data volume. We validate record counts across all objects (Companies, People, custom objects, engagement history, users), spot-check random records against the Delivra source for field-level accuracy, and confirm that relationship links (person-company, opportunity-company-person) are intact. The customer reviews and signs off on the test migration before production migration begins. Any mapping corrections occur at this stage.

  5. Production migration in dependency order

    We run production migration in the mandatory Twenty dependency order: custom object schemas (created first), Companies (from Delivra contact organization data), People (with company links resolved via lookup), custom object data records (with relationship links resolved), engagement history (as custom fields on Person), and user accounts (matched by email with role matrix documented). Each phase emits a row-count reconciliation report. We use the Twenty API with rate-limit handling and batch chunking throughout.

  6. Cutover, validation, and rebuild handoff

    We freeze writes to the Delivra account during cutover and run a final delta migration of any records created or modified during the validation window. We deliver a post-migration reconciliation report showing record counts by object and a sample record validation against the Delivra source. We deliver the workflow and automation inventory document and the template and form inventory document to the customer's admin team for post-migration rebuild. We provide a one-week hypercare window for reconciliation issues. Workflow rebuild, template recreation, and form rebuild are not included in the migration scope.

Standard migrations land between three and five weeks for accounts under 25,000 contacts with no custom tables and no complex lead scoring. Migrations with multi-relationship Custom Tables, large engagement histories (over 200,000 engagement events), or intricate lead scoring models move to eight to twelve weeks because of the schema mapping phase required to translate Delivra's relational structures into Twenty's custom object model. The Delivra API coordination step can add one to two weeks if schema specifications require back-and-forth with Delivra Support.
