Overview

What this migration involves

Moving from DinamikCRM to Twenty CRM is a schema-first migration. DinamikCRM's 40+ module architecture means no two accounts share the same data model, so we begin every engagement with an API-based discovery phase that enumerates active modules, their field definitions, and interdependencies. From that discovery we build a custom object mapping that routes DinamikCRM Contacts to Twenty People, Companies to Twenty Company, Deals to Twenty Opportunity, and any active custom modules to Twenty Custom Objects via the /metadata API. Activities map to Twenty Tasks and Notes with timestamps preserved. Workflows, module-level automation rules, and conditional logic within DinamikCRM are application-layer constructs that do not export as data; we deliver a written inventory of every automation for your admin to rebuild in Twenty. The migration runs in dependency order—schema first, then master data, then activities—with a sandbox validation phase before production cutover.

Why teams make this switch

Two sides of the same decision

Leaving

DinamikCRM

What's pushing teams away

  • Businesses scaling beyond SME size report that the platform lacks the advanced reporting and enterprise automation features available in Salesforce or HubSpot.
  • Customers needing deep third-party integrations find the native integration ecosystem more limited compared to larger CRM platforms.
  • Some users note that while modules are customizable, advanced customizations may require support involvement rather than self-service configuration.

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 DinamikCRM objects map to Twenty CRM

Each row shows how a DinamikCRM 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.

DinamikCRM

Contact

maps to

Twenty CRM

Person (People)

1:1
Fully supported

DinamikCRM Contact records map directly to Twenty Person. Standard fields (name, email, phone, address) map to their Twenty equivalents. We extract any custom fields attached to the Contact module during schema discovery and create matching custom fields in Twenty via the /metadata API before import. Contact ownership resolves by email match to a Twenty User record. The migration flags any DinamikCRM contact without an email address as requiring manual review in Twenty.

DinamikCRM

Company

maps to

Twenty CRM

Company

1:1
Fully supported

DinamikCRM Company records map to Twenty Company. The Company record is created before any Person import so that the Person's company link (company_id) is satisfied at insert time. We preserve any custom fields discovered on the Company module and map them to Twenty custom fields on the Company object.

DinamikCRM

Lead

maps to

Twenty CRM

Person (People)

1:1
Fully supported

DinamikCRM Lead records map to Twenty Person. Unlike Salesforce's Lead-Contact split, Twenty uses a single Person object for both prospects and customers. We map DinamikCRM lead status, source, and score fields to custom fields on the Person record so that the customer can segment prospects without a separate data model. The migration does not create a separate Lead object because Twenty does not include one as a standard entity.

DinamikCRM

Deal

maps to

Twenty CRM

Opportunity

1:1
Fully supported

DinamikCRM Deal records map to Twenty Opportunity. Deal value maps to opportunityAmount, deal stage maps to a Twenty pipeline stage, and owner maps via email resolution to the Twenty User. We discover the pipeline stage names and order from DinamikCRM's active pipeline configuration during schema discovery and create matching stage values in Twenty before import.

DinamikCRM

Pipeline (stage configuration)

maps to

Twenty CRM

Opportunity Stage

lossy
Fully supported

Each DinamikCRM pipeline becomes a Twenty Opportunity pipeline with its stage values. We extract the stage order and probability percentages from DinamikCRM's pipeline configuration and create matching stages in Twenty via the Settings → Data Model panel. Stage probabilities are rounded to integer values that Twenty accepts.

DinamikCRM

Activity

maps to

Twenty CRM

Task or Note

1:1
Fully supported

DinamikCRM Activity records (calls, emails, meetings, tasks, notes) map to Twenty Task and Note records. Activity type determines the mapping: DinamikCRM task-type activities become Twenty Task; DinamikCRM note-type activities become Twenty Note. We preserve the original activity timestamp as the Task or Note creation date, and associate each record to the correct Person or Company via lookup resolution. Activity owner maps via email to the Twenty User.

DinamikCRM

Appointment

maps to

Twenty CRM

Task (with date/time fields)

1:1
Fully supported

DinamikCRM Appointment records include date, time, attendee, and status fields. We map appointments to Twenty Task records and add custom fields for appointment-specific properties (attendees, location, status) that we create in Twenty before migration. Scheduling-specific fields that have no direct Twenty equivalent are flagged as requiring manual review in the destination.

DinamikCRM

Invoice

maps to

Twenty CRM

Opportunity (with financial fields)

1:1
Fully supported

DinamikCRM Invoice records with line items, totals, and status map to Twenty Opportunity with custom fields for invoice number, line item data, and total amount. We extract the financial data during export and create corresponding custom fields in Twenty. Financial fields are flagged for validation after import because totals and tax calculations may require rounding adjustments.

DinamikCRM

DESK (Customer Support Tickets)

maps to

Twenty CRM

Task (with ticket custom fields)

1:1
Fully supported

Support tickets from DinamikCRM's DESK module include status, priority, assignee, and conversation threads. We map ticket status and priority to custom fields on a Twenty Task record, and conversation threads migrate as Note records attached to the Task. Assignee maps via email resolution to a Twenty User. If the customer needs a dedicated support object, we create a Twenty Custom Object during schema setup.

DinamikCRM

Custom Modules (discovered per account)

maps to

Twenty CRM

Custom Object

1:1
Fully supported

DinamikCRM's extensible module system means every account may have custom modules not present in any other account. During schema discovery we enumerate all active custom modules, extract their field definitions and types, and map each to a Twenty Custom Object via the /metadata API. Custom field types are mapped to their Twenty equivalents (text, number, date, select, multi-select, email, phone, URL). Module-to-module relationships map to Twenty Custom Object lookups where applicable.

DinamikCRM

Feedback

maps to

Twenty CRM

Note (attached to Person or Company)

1:1
Fully supported

DinamikCRM Feedback entries (customer feedback text and metadata) migrate as Twenty Note records attached to the related Person or Company. We preserve the feedback creation timestamp and any rating or category fields as custom fields on the Note.

DinamikCRM

User/Owner

maps to

Twenty CRM

User

1:1
Fully supported

DinamikCRM User records and owner assignments on Contacts, Companies, Deals, and Activities map to Twenty User records. We resolve owners by email match. Any DinamikCRM owner without a matching Twenty User goes to a reconciliation queue for the customer's admin to provision before record import resumes. Twenty requires users to exist before owner lookups can be satisfied, which is a prerequisite for the record import phases.

Pair-specific challenges

  • Custom module schema discovery is required before any export

    DinamikCRM's architecture allows customers to create and modify modules freely, meaning no two accounts share the same schema. We begin every migration with an API-based discovery phase that enumerates active modules, extracts their field definitions and data types, and maps custom modules to Twenty Custom Objects before any data export. Skipping this step results in incomplete exports because standard module queries miss customer-specific modules entirely. The discovery phase adds 3-5 business days to the project timeline and must complete before the sandbox migration begins.

  • Twenty requires fields to exist before CSV import

    Twenty's CSV import creates records, not fields. We must create all custom fields in Twenty Settings → Data Model before importing any data from DinamikCRM. This includes custom fields for DinamikCRM properties that have no direct Twenty equivalent (appointment status, invoice totals, feedback ratings, DESK ticket priority). We also must invite all team members and wait for them to accept invitations before import, because Owner lookups require existing User records. Failing to create fields first causes import failures or silent data truncation.

  • Activity history requires multi-record import sequencing

    DinamikCRM Activities span multiple subtypes (calls, emails, meetings, tasks, notes) stored in a single object. Twenty separates Tasks and Notes into distinct objects with different field schemas. We split the DinamikCRM activity export by type, map each subtype to the correct Twenty object, and associate records to the correct Person or Company via lookup resolution after those records exist. Activity owner resolution via email match must complete before activity import because Task and Note require an owner reference.

  • Module-level automation and workflow rules do not export

    Workflows, automation rules, conditional logic, and notification triggers configured within DinamikCRM modules are application-layer constructs that do not export via the API as data. We export the underlying record data (contacts, deals, activities, custom module records) completely, but all automation rules require rebuilding in Twenty manually or via the Twenty API. We deliver a written inventory of every active DinamikCRM module rule with its trigger conditions and recommended Twenty equivalent during the handoff phase.

  • API rate limits are undocumented and may affect large exports

    The DinamikCRM API v1 documentation does not publish rate limit thresholds or quota structures. We monitor HTTP 429 responses during extraction and implement exponential backoff dynamically. For accounts with tens of thousands of records, we chunk large object types into parallel batches of manageable size and use cursor-based pagination where available to maintain throughput without triggering undocumented limits. This throttling extends migration timelines for large accounts and is factored into the project estimate during scoping.

Migration approach

Six steps for a successful DinamikCRM to Twenty CRM data migration

  1. Schema discovery and scoping

    We audit the DinamikCRM account via its API to enumerate all active modules, extract field definitions and data types for each module, identify inter-module relationships (Contact-to-Company, Deal-to-Contact, Activity-to-Contact), and assess the volume of records per object. This discovery phase produces a custom migration schema that is unique to this account. We present the schema to the customer's admin for validation before any export begins.

  2. Twenty workspace setup and custom field creation

    Using the discovery schema, we create all required custom fields in Twenty Settings → Data Model before any data import. We create Custom Objects via the /metadata API for any DinamikCRM custom modules, and add custom fields to standard objects (Person, Company, Opportunity, Task, Note) for DinamikCRM properties that lack direct Twenty equivalents. We also invite all team members who will serve as record owners and wait for acceptance, because owner lookups cannot resolve without existing User records. The customer validates the Twenty workspace configuration before we proceed.

  3. Sandbox migration and mapping validation

    We run a full migration into a Twenty sandbox environment using a representative data sample. The customer's admin reconciles record counts, spot-checks 25-50 random records against the DinamikCRM source, and validates that pipeline stages, custom field values, and relationship links rendered correctly. Any mapping corrections happen in this sandbox phase. We do not begin production migration until the sandbox reconciliation is signed off.

  4. Owner reconciliation and user provisioning

    We extract every distinct DinamikCRM owner referenced on Contacts, Companies, Deals, Activities, and DESK tickets and match by email against the Twenty workspace User table. Any DinamikCRM owner without a matching Twenty User goes to a reconciliation queue. The customer's admin provisions missing Users and confirms their email addresses. Migration cannot proceed past this step because OwnerId references are required on most standard object imports.

  5. Production migration in dependency order

    We run production migration in record-dependency order: Users (validated), Companies (from DinamikCRM Company records), Persons (from DinamikCRM Contact and Lead records with CompanyId resolved), Opportunities (with stage and owner resolved), Custom Objects (for any DinamikCRM custom modules), Activities (Tasks and Notes split by type with Person/Company lookups resolved), Invoices (as Opportunity custom fields), Appointments (as Task with custom scheduling fields), DESK tickets (as Task with ticket custom fields), and Feedback (as Note attached to Person or Company). Each phase emits a row-count reconciliation report before the next phase begins.

  6. Cutover, validation, and automation rebuild handoff

    We freeze DinamikCRM writes during cutover, run a final delta migration of records modified during the migration window, then enable Twenty as the system of record. We deliver a written inventory of every DinamikCRM module automation rule with its trigger conditions, actions, and a recommended manual rebuild path in Twenty. We support a one-week hypercare window where we resolve reconciliation issues raised by the customer's team. We do not rebuild DinamikCRM automations inside the migration scope; that is a separate configuration engagement or an internal admin task.

Most migrations land between three and five weeks for accounts with 1-10 active modules, under 15,000 Contacts, and 3,000 Deals. Migrations with heavy custom module usage (15+ modules), large Activity histories (over 200,000 records), or complex multi-module relationships extend to eight to twelve weeks because of the discovery overhead, lookup resolution across module boundaries, and Activity timeline reconstruction. The schema discovery phase alone adds 3-5 business days to any DinamikCRM migration before export begins.
