Overview
Demandforce is a patient-communication and practice-management platform built around appointments, reminders, two-way texting, and reputation management. It stores customers (patients), businesses (practices/locations), appointments, communications, and reviews as discrete objects, but it does not function as a traditional CRM with deal pipelines or opportunity management. Twenty CRM is an open-source CRM built on People, Companies, Opportunities, Tasks, and Notes objects with a custom-object API for extensibility. Migrating from Demandforce to Twenty requires translating a communication-centric data model into a sales-centric one — patients become People records, businesses/locations become Companies, and communication histories surface as Notes and Tasks. FlitStack AI extracts contacts, appointments, reviews, and custom fields from Demandforce via its sync API and maps them into Twenty's People and Companies objects. Appointment timestamps and reminder settings are preserved as custom fields on People or as Task records. Reminder sequences, recall automations, and reputation-workflow logic cannot migrate automatically — we document your Demandforce workflow configurations as rebuild specifications for Twenty's workflow builder. The migration runs via Twenty's REST and GraphQL API with batched record insertion.
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 Demandforce 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.
Demandforce
Customer (Patient)
Twenty CRM
People
1:1Demandforce Customer records map directly to Twenty People. The Customer's name, email, phone, and address fields align with standard Twenty People fields. Primary business/location association maps to the companyId relation pointing to the corresponding Twenty Company record. Any custom fields on the Customer (e.g., insurance carrier, referral source) are created as custom People fields, and owner/staff assignments are resolved by matching the owner email to a Twenty WorkspaceMember.
Demandforce
Business / Location
Twenty CRM
Company
1:1Demandforce Business records represent practice locations and map to Twenty Companies. Fields like business name, address, phone, and industry map to standard Twenty Company fields. Multi-location Demandforce setups generate multiple Company records in Twenty linked by a custom parent-company field if hierarchy is needed.
Demandforce
Appointment
Twenty CRM
Task
1:1Demandforce appointments are translated into Twenty Task records. The appointment date and time map to the Task dueDate and dueDateTime fields. Task body captures the appointment type and status (completed, confirmed, cancelled). Uncompleted appointments migrate as open Tasks with reminder flags set.
Demandforce
Communication (SMS / Email)
Twenty CRM
Note
1:1Demandforce communication logs (two-way SMS threads, email exchanges) migrate as Twenty Notes attached to the corresponding People record. Note body preserves the full message thread, while custom fields record the channel (SMS, Email, Voice) and direction (inbound/outbound). Timestamp and sender/recipient metadata are stored in Note metadata fields for audit continuity, and each Note links to the People record via the personId relation.
Demandforce
Review Request
Twenty CRM
Note (on People / Company)
1:1Demandforce's post-appointment review request and review-score data has no native equivalent in Twenty. We preserve review scores, request dates, and review-site citations as custom fields on the People or Company record for reference. The review-automation logic must be rebuilt using Twenty's workflow builder or a third-party integration.
Demandforce
Recall / Reminder Sequence
Twenty CRM
Workflow (manual rebuild required)
1:1Demandforce recall sequences (automated patient follow-up reminders based on appointment type and interval) are a platform-native automation with no direct Twenty equivalent. FlitStack exports your sequence configuration — trigger conditions, interval logic, and message templates — as a structured document. Your Twenty admin rebuilds these in the workflow builder post-migration.
Demandforce
Appointment Type
Twenty CRM
Custom Field on Task
1:1Demandforce appointment types (cleaning, exam, consultation, etc.) require a custom select field on Twenty's Task object. We create a TaskType custom field matching your Demandforce appointment type values during schema setup. The field is populated from the source appointment type on every migrated Task.
Demandforce
Owner / Staff Member
Twenty CRM
WorkspaceMember
1:1Demandforce owner IDs (staff members with appointment assignments) resolve to Twenty Workspace Members by email match. Unmatched owners are flagged before migration. If a Demandforce owner has no corresponding Twenty user, their records are assigned to a fallback member and the assignment is logged in a custom sourceOwner field.
Demandforce
Demandforce Custom Fields
Twenty CRM
Custom Fields on People / Company / Task
1:1Any custom fields configured in Demandforce (e.g., patient insurance carrier, treatment plan, referral source) are mapped to identically named custom fields in Twenty's data model. Field types are translated: Demandforce text → Twenty text, pick-list → select, date → date. Custom fields must be created in Twenty Settings → Data Model before migration runs.
Demandforce
Patient Portal Activity
Twenty CRM
Note (on People)
1:1Demandforce's patient portal activity (appointment booking via portal, document uploads, form submissions) is preserved as Notes on the People record. The portal-originated flag is stored as a custom boolean field for segmentation. Direct portal functionality must be replaced with a third-party integration post-migration.
Demandforce
Campaign / Email Blast
Twenty CRM
Campaign (custom object)
1:1Demandforce email campaigns and blast sends require a custom Campaign object in Twenty. Campaign records link to the target People records. Campaign send history, open rates, and click data are stored as custom fields on the Campaign record. Email delivery must be handled by a separate email platform integration post-migration.

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.
Demandforce gotchas
Appointment sync runs on a daily batch schedule
Thank-you emails are PMS billing-triggered
Data lives in the connected PMS, not in Demandforce
Sync filters must include at least one of each type
No publicly documented bulk export API
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
Audit Demandforce data and design Twenty schema
FlitStack exports a full snapshot of your Demandforce data — Customers, Businesses, Appointments, Communications, Reviews, and Campaigns — using the Demandforce API sync endpoint with all entity and appointment-type filters active. We simultaneously audit your Twenty workspace (or provision a new one) and document the gap between existing standard fields and the custom fields required for migration. The output is a schema-setup checklist: every custom field on People, Company, Task, and Note that must be created in Twenty Settings → Data Model before records can land.
Resolve owner and staff relationships by email
Demandforce staff owners are matched against Twenty Workspace Members by email address. If a Demandforce owner has no corresponding Twenty user at migration time, their records are flagged and assigned to a fallback Workspace Member. We generate a pre-migration owner-resolution report so your team can invite missing users to Twenty before the migration window opens. This prevents records from landing with null assigneeId values in Twenty.
Import Companies first, then People, then Tasks and Notes
Following Twenty's import-order constraint, FlitStack sequences the migration: Companies (the 'one' side of the People-to-Company relation) import first and their Twenty IDs are captured. People records import second with companyId relations resolved against the migrated Company IDs. Task and Note records import third, with personId and companyId lookups resolved from the previously migrated IDs. Custom objects (Campaign) import last. Each batch is validated for referential integrity before the next batch starts.
Run a sample migration with field-level verification
A representative slice — typically 200–500 records spanning patients, locations, appointments, and communications — migrates to Twenty first. FlitStack generates a field-level diff comparing source values against destination values for every mapped field. You verify that appointment dates match, communication threads are complete, and owner resolution worked correctly. Sample migration results are reviewed with you before the full run commits. Any field-mapping errors discovered in the sample are corrected in the migration script before re-running.
Execute full migration with delta pickup
The full dataset migrates to Twenty via batched GraphQL mutations respecting the Pro-tier rate limit of 100 calls/minute. A delta-pickup window (24–48 hours) captures any Demandforce records created or modified during the cutover period — new appointments booked in Demandforce after the migration snapshot are added to Twenty before go-live. FlitStack maintains an audit log of every record written. One-click rollback reverts the Twenty workspace to its pre-migration state if reconciliation identifies critical discrepancies.
Deliver recall-sequence rebuild documentation and workflow specifications
Alongside the migrated data, FlitStack delivers a structured Workflow Rebuild Pack: every Demandforce recall sequence, reminder rule, and review-request automation documented with trigger conditions, interval logic, message templates, and audience filters. This document is handed to your Twenty admin for recreation in Settings → Workflows. We do not migrate automations automatically — the Workflow Rebuild Pack gives your team a complete blueprint for rebuilding Demandforce's communication automation in Twenty's workflow builder.
