Overview
Moving from Encharge to Twenty CRM is a platform category shift from marketing automation to a dedicated open-source CRM. Encharge stores contacts as People with behavioral tracking tied to Flows, Segments, and Stripe payment events; Twenty CRM uses a standard Person object with Company, Opportunity, and Task objects and relies on external tools for email sending and marketing automation. We map People 1:1 to Twenty Persons, Accounts to Companies, and preserve the Encharge activity timeline (email opens, page views, custom events) as custom fields or Activity records in Twenty. Encharge Flows are not exportable and must be manually rebuilt; we deliver a written inventory of every Flow with its trigger logic, conditions, and wait-step configuration. Custom Objects from Encharge require pre-creation of the equivalent schema in Twenty's Data Model before migration. Twenty's self-hosted option gives teams full data ownership, and its API is auto-generated from the data model, which means custom objects get the same API treatment as standard ones.
Every standard and custom field arrives verified.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a Encharge 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.
Encharge
People
Twenty CRM
Person
1:1Encharge People records map directly to Twenty CRM Person records. Standard fields (email, firstName, lastName, phone, city, country) map to Twenty's Person object fields. Custom person fields in Encharge become custom fields on the Person object via Settings → Data Model before import. We use email as the dedupe key. Note that Twenty's Person object has limited standard fields out of the box; most Encharge custom fields require pre-creation in Twenty's schema during scoping.
Encharge
Accounts
Twenty CRM
Company
1:1Encharge Accounts (companies associated with People) map to Twenty CRM Company records. Company name, domain, industry, employeeCount, and address fields map to their Twenty equivalents. Company custom fields migrate as custom Company properties after pre-creation in Twenty's Data Model. We link Persons to their parent Company via the Person's companyId field during import.
Encharge
Tags
Twenty CRM
Custom multi-select field
lossyEncharge Tags are flat string labels applied to People. Twenty CRM does not have a native tag system; we create a custom multi-select picklist field (e.g., personTags) on the Person object during schema setup and populate it with the Encharge tag assignments. If Encharge uses more than 150 unique tags, we split into multiple multi-select fields or use a text field with comma-separated values.
Encharge
Segments
Twenty CRM
Custom filter fields + saved views
lossyEncharge Segments are dynamic filter-based groups of People. Twenty CRM does not have a native segment engine; we export the segment definition (filter rules, operators, and values) and recreate it in Twenty as saved views with filter criteria on Person fields. For segments based on behavioral events not stored as Person fields, we create custom fields on Person and populate them during migration, then document the segment logic as a Twenty saved view specification.
Encharge
Activities (behavioral events)
Twenty CRM
Custom fields or Events
1:1Encharge Activities record behavioral events (email opens, page views, custom events, payment triggers) with timestamps. Twenty CRM does not have a native behavioral event log; we map Encharge Activities to a combination of custom fields on Person (lastEventName, lastEventDate, eventCount) and Event records for significant milestone events. For high-activity accounts, we may recommend a separate events table or a linked custom object to preserve the full timeline without cluttering the Person record.
Encharge
Custom Objects
Twenty CRM
Custom Objects
1:1Encharge Custom Objects (Deals, Orders, Invoices, or any domain-specific entity) map to Twenty CRM custom objects. We pre-create the destination schema via Settings → Data Model before migration, including all custom fields and lookup relationships. Custom object naming follows Twenty conventions. If Encharge Custom Objects reference People or Accounts, we resolve the Person/Company lookup IDs during migration to maintain referential integrity.
Encharge
Email Templates
Twenty CRM
Custom HTML storage
lossyEncharge Email Templates (HTML with subject lines and sender metadata) export as HTML files with inline styles preserved. Twenty CRM does not have a native email template library; we deliver templates as a structured folder of HTML files with metadata (subject, from-name, from-email) documented in a CSV. The customer's team updates these in their chosen email sending tool post-migration.
Encharge
Campaigns
Twenty CRM
Custom object or Opportuntiy
lossyEncharge Campaigns group emails and automation steps. Twenty CRM has no native campaign object; we map campaign names and status to a custom Campaign object that we create in Twenty's Data Model, or to the Opportunity object if campaigns represent sales cycles. Campaign-flow associations do not export and must be documented separately for rebuild.
Encharge
Users
Twenty CRM
Users
1:1Encharge Users (team members assigned as Flow owners and sending identities) map to Twenty CRM Users by email match. Twenty Users have roles and workspace permissions that Encharge does not model; we document the Encharge user roles and recommend Twenty workspace permission assignments during scoping. Users without a matching Twenty account go to a reconciliation queue.
Encharge
Places (Locations)
Twenty CRM
Address fields on Person/Company
1:1Encharge Places store structured location data associated with People or Accounts. Twenty CRM Person and Company objects have address fields (streetAddress, city, state, country, postalCode). We map Place data to these fields, preserving structured location information where the destination schema supports it.

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.
Encharge gotchas
Flows are not exportable via API
API rate limits are not publicly documented
Overage billing model can surprise new customers
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
Discovery and schema mapping
We audit the source Encharge account across plan tier, People count, Account count, Custom Object schemas, Tag inventory, Segment definitions, active Flows, Email Templates, and activity event volume. We pair this with a Twenty CRM workspace audit: checking existing Person and Company field configurations, existing custom objects, and workspace permission structure. The discovery output is a written migration scope document with a field-by-field mapping table, Flow inventory list, and a Twenty schema pre-creation checklist for the customer to complete before migration begins.
Twenty schema pre-creation
We create all required custom fields on Person and Company in Twenty's Data Model (Settings → Data Model) before any data import. This includes multi-select fields for Tags, custom fields for Encharge behavioral properties, and any custom objects referenced by Encharge relationships. Custom object lookups are configured with proper relationship cardinality. The customer validates the schema in a Twenty sandbox or test workspace before production migration begins. Schema changes in Twenty require field deactivation/reactivation rather than deletion if mistakes occur, so we recommend a validation pass before committing.
Data extraction and transformation
We extract People, Accounts, Tags, Custom Objects, Activities, Email Templates, and Campaign data from Encharge via the REST API using conservative batching (50 records per request) to avoid undocumented rate limit hits. We transform each record against the mapping table: Encharge field names map to Twenty field API names, custom field types are normalized, and Tags are aggregated into the multi-select personTags field. Activities are normalized to a standard event schema (eventName, eventDate, eventProperties) for later import into Twenty custom fields or Event records.
Flow inventory documentation
We document every active and recently active Encharge Flow in a written inventory. For each Flow, we capture: trigger type (event-based, date-based, API), all conditional branches and their criteria, wait-step durations and delay logic, CRM action types (field update, tag add, email send), and any integration actions (Stripe, Segment, Intercom). This document serves as the rebuild blueprint for the customer's admin team in their chosen automation tool. Flows are not migrated as code; they require manual recreation.
Production migration in dependency order
We run production migration in record-dependency order: Person records first (with CompanyId resolved for linked Accounts), Company records next, then Custom Objects (with Person and Company lookups resolved), then Activity history (as Event records or custom Person fields), then Tag assignments, and finally Email Template HTML files with metadata CSV. Each phase emits a row-count reconciliation report before the next phase begins. We use Twenty's CSV import for standard records and the REST API for custom objects and complex field types.
Cutover, validation, and Flow rebuild handoff
We freeze Encharge writes during cutover, run a final delta migration of any records modified during the migration window, then present the final reconciliation report. We deliver the Flow inventory document to the customer's admin team with a rebuild guide. We support a one-week hypercare window where we resolve any data quality issues raised during team onboarding. Post-migration admin support, workflow rebuild, and email tool integration are outside standard scope and can be scoped as separate engagements.
