Overview

What this migration involves

Digital Signup organizes data around programs, offerings, and registrations — each program has multiple offerings with scheduled time slots, linked facilities, instructor assignments, and per-registrant enrollment records with payment status. Twenty CRM uses a relational model built around People (contacts), Companies (accounts), and Opportunities (deals), with standard fields for name, email, phone, job title, and company links, plus a kanban pipeline for Opportunity stages. The migration requires collapsing Digital Signup's program-offering-registration hierarchy into Twenty's flatter object graph. We export via Digital Signup's API and CSV tools, then map registrants to People, organization accounts to Companies, and program registrations to Opportunities with custom fields for program name, offering ID, instructor, and payment status. Automation rules, permission sets, and program-specific configurations are source-platform constructs with no Twenty equivalent — those must be rebuilt in Twenty's workflow builder and workspace permissions. FlitStack sequences the migration to respect Twenty's import-order constraint (Companies first, then People, then Opportunities) and runs a delta-pickup window to capture any new enrollments made during the cutover.

Digital Signup

What's pushing teams away

  • Pricing and API documentation are not published — buyers must call sales to get either, which slows competitive evaluation against modern SaaS registration tools.
  • UX and mobile experience are evaluated as functional rather than modern; Research.com and SoftwareSuggest reviews note the interface feels dated relative to newer category entrants.
  • Narrow vertical focus on US public-sector and education means SMB-style configurability and self-serve onboarding common in mass-market SaaS are not present.
  • Limited third-party integration footprint visible in marketing — most extensions appear to be Digital Signup's own modules rather than an open ecosystem.
  • Small public review pool on Capterra/G2 makes social proof and feature-gap analysis harder for prospective buyers.

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 Digital Signup objects map to Twenty CRM

Each row shows how a Digital Signup 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.

Digital Signup

Registrant

maps to

Twenty CRM

People

1:1
Fully supported

Digital Signup registrants map directly to Twenty People records. The mapping carries first name, last name, email, phone, and address fields. Parent/guardian contacts for youth programs are treated as separate People records — your FlitStack plan specifies whether to link them via a custom relation field or keep them as independent records.

Digital Signup

Organization

maps to

Twenty CRM

Company

1:1
Fully supported

Digital Signup organizations (schools, hospitals, community centers) map to Twenty Companies. The mapping preserves organization name, address, domain/website, and industry type. Multi-location organizations with separate Digital Signup accounts map to multiple Company records linked via a ParentId custom field. Each location's company record includes the address, phone, and website, and can be linked to a parent company using the ParentId field to preserve hierarchical reporting structures within Twenty's company graph.

Digital Signup

Program

maps to

Twenty CRM

Opportunity

1:1
Fully supported

Each Digital Signup program becomes a Twenty Opportunity representing a cohort or session. The Opportunity Name is constructed from Program Name + Offering Start Date for uniqueness. Pipeline stages are mapped from Digital Signup's enrollment status values (Registered, Waitlisted, Cancelled) to Twenty Opportunity Stage values you configure in the workspace.

Digital Signup

Program

maps to

Twenty CRM

Custom Object (Program)

1:1
Fully supported

If your Digital Signup programs carry rich attributes (category, description, capacity, prerequisites) that don't fit Opportunity fields, FlitStack creates a Program custom object in Twenty before migration. This requires Pro ($9/user/mo) or Organization ($19/user/mo) since custom objects are not available on the free tier. The migration plan flags this before data lands.

Digital Signup

Offering

maps to

Twenty CRM

Custom Object (Offering) + Opportunity date fields

1:many
Fully supported

Digital Signup offerings (scheduled instances of a program with specific date, time slot, and facility) split into two Twenty constructs: an Offering custom object holding the schedule, instructor, and facility references, and Opportunity-level date fields (Expected Close Date) reflecting the offering start date. This split is necessary because Twenty's Opportunity model doesn't natively hold multi-slot scheduling data.

Digital Signup

Enrollment / Registration

maps to

Twenty CRM

Opportunity

many:1
Fully supported

The enrollment record (linking a Registrant to an Offering with payment status) merges into the Opportunity: the People record is the primary contact on the Opportunity, and payment status, enrollment date, and discount applied are stored as custom fields on that Opportunity. One Opportunity per registrant-per-offering tuple — your FlitStack plan documents whether to consolidate multiple family-member enrollments.

Digital Signup

Instructor / Staff

maps to

Twenty CRM

People (with role flag) or WorkspaceMember

1:1
Fully supported

Digital Signup instructors map to Twenty People records with a custom select field (Role__c: Instructor, Staff, Administrator) because they may also be registrants in other programs. Staff-only accounts that need Twenty workspace access are flagged — they must be invited as Workspace Members before migration so their userId can be referenced in the OwnerId field on migrated records.

Digital Signup

Facility / Location

maps to

Twenty CRM

Company (with Facility flag) or custom Location object

1:1
Fully supported

Digital Signup facilities map to Twenty Companies with a Facility_Flag__c custom field set to true, and address fields holding the location. If your facility records carry equipment or capacity attributes not representable on a standard Company, FlitStack creates a Location custom object. The Offering custom object then links to Location records via a relation field.

Digital Signup

Payment / Transaction

maps to

Twenty CRM

Custom fields on Opportunity

1:1
Fully supported

Digital Signup payment records (amount, status, payment method, transaction date) migrate as custom fields on the corresponding Opportunity: Payment_Status__c, Payment_Method__c, Amount_Paid__c, Transaction_Date__c. Full invoice history requires a separate Invoice custom object — FlitStack's plan specifies this if your use case requires it, since Twenty has no native invoicing module.

Digital Signup

Discount / Waiver

maps to

Twenty CRM

Custom fields on Opportunity

1:1
Fully supported

Digital Signup discount types (Veteran, Senior, Resident, Custom) map to a Discount_Type__c custom pick-list on the Opportunity. The discount amount or percentage maps to Discount_Value__c. Discount rules configured in Digital Signup's user-definable discount levels do not transfer — those business rules must be rebuilt as Twenty workflow conditions or documented for your admin.

Digital Signup

Waitlist Entry

maps to

Twenty CRM

Opportunity (with Waitlist_Entry__c = true)

1:1
Fully supported

Digital Signup waitlist entries become Opportunities with a Waitlist_Entry__c boolean flag and Waitlist_Position__c number field. The Opportunity Stage maps to a 'Waitlisted' stage you create in Twenty's pipeline configuration. If the waitlist converts to enrollment, the flag is cleared and the stage is updated — this is a manual action or a workflow trigger you configure post-migration.

Digital Signup

Attachment / Document

maps to

Twenty CRM

Notes

1:1
Fully supported

Digital Signup file attachments (waivers, consent forms, program materials) attached to registrants or programs migrate as Twenty Notes linked to the corresponding People or Opportunity record. File size limits apply per Twenty's storage configuration. The original file name and a link back to the source record ID are preserved in the Note body.

Pair-specific challenges

  • Registration-program hierarchy doesn't map 1:1 to the Opportunity object

    Digital Signup structures enrollment data across a Program → Offering → Enrollment cascade, where one Program has multiple Offerings (sessions) and each Offering has many Enrollments. Twenty's Opportunity object is a single record per deal or enrollment, which means every Offering-Registrant tuple becomes its own Opportunity. For organizations running 50 programs with 10 offerings each and 30 enrollees per offering, this generates 15,000 Opportunity records — a volume that is fully supported by Twenty but requires careful pipeline configuration upfront. FlitStack generates a pre-migration Opportunity volume estimate so you can configure your pipeline stages before data lands.

  • Digital Signup's per-module export generates separate CSV files that must be reconciled

    Digital Signup's CSV export is scoped to individual modules — Class Registration exports registrants and enrollments separately from Facilities exports. The linking fields between them (registrant ID, offering ID, facility ID) are present in each CSV but must be cross-referenced during mapping. If your Digital Signup setup uses custom fields on registrants that were added within a specific module context, those field definitions may not appear in the base registrant export — FlitStack's audit phase detects and surfaces these module-scoped fields before the migration plan is finalized.

  • Twenty requires custom objects and fields to exist before CSV import — they are not auto-created

    The Twenty documentation explicitly states: 'Fields must exist before import. The CSV import creates records, not fields.' FlitStack creates all required custom objects (Program, Offering, Location) and custom fields (Capacity__c, Payment_Status__c, Instructor__c, etc.) via the Twenty metadata API before any records are imported. If your Twenty workspace is on the Pro tier ($9/user/mo), custom object creation is supported. If you are on a free or starter tier, FlitStack flags the tier requirement and the plan pauses until the workspace is upgraded.

  • Workspace members must be invited before migration — owner resolution fails without them

    Twenty's import documentation warns that user references (OwnerId, Assigned_Instructor__c as a People relation) require the target user to exist in the workspace before import. If your Digital Signup staff members are not yet invited to Twenty, the instructor-to-People mapping fails for every record where an instructor is referenced. FlitStack's pre-migration checklist includes a member-invitation step: all staff who appear in the Digital Signup instructor or owner fields must accept their Twenty invitation before the import phase runs. Unmatched owners are flagged with a resolution report, not silently dropped.

  • Workflow automations, email templates, and discount rules do not migrate

    Digital Signup's built-in automations — confirmation emails on enrollment, waitlist promotion triggers, discount-scheme enforcement, and program-specific email reminders — are configured within Digital Signup's module system and have no native equivalent in Twenty. Twenty's workflow builder handles time-based triggers, field updates, and CRM actions, but it does not natively send program enrollment confirmations or manage waitlist queues out of the box. FlitStack exports your Digital Signup automation definitions as a configuration reference document for your Twenty admin to rebuild from. Email sequences (if any) require a separate email outreach tool to be connected post-migration.

Migration approach

Six steps for a successful Digital Signup to Twenty CRM data migration

  1. Audit Digital Signup data export and schema

    FlitStack connects to your Digital Signup instance via API (or manual CSV export per module) and inventories all record types: registrants, organizations, programs, offerings, enrollments, instructors, facilities, and any custom fields per module. We count records per object, identify multi-valued fields, and map the relationships between them (registrant → offering via enrollment, offering → facility, program → offering). This audit produces the migration scope document — your fixed-price quote is based on this, not an estimate.

  2. Map Digital Signup schema to Twenty objects and custom fields

    FlitStack builds the field-level mapping document: each Digital Signup field gets a Twenty destination (standard field, custom field, or custom object). We create the custom objects (Program, Offering, Location) and custom fields in your Twenty workspace via the /metadata API before any records arrive. Pipeline stages are created to match your Digital Signup enrollment statuses. The mapping document is reviewed with you before any data moves.

  3. Invite workspace members and resolve owner / instructor links

    Twenty requires that users referenced in relation fields exist in the workspace before import. FlitStack extracts all instructor and staff IDs from Digital Signup, cross-references them against your member list, and generates an invitation checklist. Each staff member who needs to appear as a People record with a role flag must accept their Twenty invitation before the import phase. Unresolved links are reported with the option to assign a fallback owner or create placeholder People records.

  4. Run sample migration with field-level diff

    A representative slice — typically 100–500 records spanning multiple programs, offerings, and enrollment statuses — migrates first. FlitStack generates a field-level diff comparing the Digital Signup source values against the Twenty destination values so you can verify that instructor links resolved correctly, payment status mapped to the right pick-list values, and enrollment dates populated the Opportunity closeDate as expected. Approval of the sample triggers the full run.

  5. Execute full migration with delta-pickup and rollback readiness

    The full migration runs against Twenty via the REST and GraphQL API, following the correct import order: Companies first (so People can link via companyId), then People (so Opportunities can link via personId), then Opportunities with all custom fields populated. A delta-pickup window of 24–48 hours captures any new enrollments created in Digital Signup during cutover. Every operation is logged in an audit trail. One-click rollback reverts the Twenty workspace to its pre-migration state if reconciliation reveals data integrity issues. Post-migration, FlitStack delivers a reconciliation report showing record counts, error rates, and any records that failed to migrate with root-cause notes.

Platform deep dives

Context on both ends of the pair

Source

Strengths

  • Over 30 years of product iteration producing a deeply feature-rich registration system.
  • HIPAA and PCI compliance makes it viable for healthcare and high-volume payment processing environments.
  • WCAG 2.0 and 508C accessibility compliance for public-facing registration portals.
  • Multi-language support enables operations across diverse community populations.
  • Modular architecture allows organizations to activate only the modules relevant to their programs.

Weaknesses

  • No publicly documented API means data export relies on ad-hoc database access or manual exports.
  • Modular pricing model means feature availability varies by subscription tier with no published price list.
  • Platform is narrowly focused on registration use cases, not a general-purpose CRM or database.
  • Customer support responsiveness may vary; evidence in reviews cites inconsistent experience.
  • Limited third-party integration ecosystem compared to mainstream CRM platforms.

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.
