Overview
Entrata is a property management PaaS built around Properties, Units, Tenants, Leases, and Work Orders. Twenty CRM is a general-purpose CRM built around People, Companies, Opportunities, Notes, and Tasks. The migration does not move a like-for-like schema — it translates a property-management domain into a CRM domain, which means some concepts (Units, Lease terms, Rent schedules) land as custom fields on Twenty records rather than native objects. FlitStack AI extracts data via the Entrata API (requires a signed API agreement), transforms property records into CRM-shaped records, and loads them through Twenty's GraphQL batch-import endpoint. Tenant and Prospect records become People linked to Property records as Companies. Lease agreements with active status become Opportunities; the deal amount maps to the lease value. Work Orders migrate as Tasks attached to the relevant Property-Company record. Entrata automations (lease-renewal reminders, payment alerts, work-order routing) have no equivalent in Twenty and must be rebuilt using Twenty's limited workflow builder or an external automation tool. The migration preserves original create dates, owner emails, and association links. A delta-pickup window captures any records created or modified during the cutover window before final reconciliation.
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 Entrata 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.
Entrata
Property
Twenty CRM
Company
1:1Each Entrata Property becomes a Twenty Company. Property name maps to Company.name. Address, unit count, and property type migrate as custom fields on the Company record. Active Work Orders and open Leases attach to this Company as Tasks and Opportunities respectively.
Entrata
Tenant / Resident
Twenty CRM
Person
1:1Entrata Tenants and Residents become Twenty People. The primary Property-Company record links via companyId on the Person. Tenant contact fields (email, phone, move-in date) map to Person fields or custom fields. Former tenants with churned leases retain their Person record with lease-end captured.
Entrata
Prospect / Lead
Twenty CRM
Person
1:1Prospective tenants in Entrata's pipeline migrate as Twenty People with a lead status custom field. The source property they inquired about attaches as the primary companyId. Inquiry date and source channel migrate as custom fields for segmentation and lead-age analysis. This preserves the prospect pipeline for follow-up in Twenty after migration.
Entrata
Lease
Twenty CRM
Opportunity
1:1Active leases map to Twenty Opportunities keyed to the Property-Company. Lease value (monthly rent × lease term) becomes the Opportunity.amount. Lease status (Active, Expired, Month-to-Month) maps to Opportunity.stage via a value-mapping table. Lease start and end dates become custom date fields; the Opportunity close date reflects lease end.
Entrata
Unit
Twenty CRM
Custom field on Company
many:1Individual Unit records (unit number, bedrooms, bathrooms, sq footage, market rent) are aggregated and stored as a custom Units__c field (JSON array or linked custom object) on the Property-Company record. Unit availability status is preserved for reporting. If the portfolio exceeds 500 units, Units may warrant a separate custom object linked to Company.
Entrata
Work Order
Twenty CRM
Task
1:1Entrata Work Orders migrate as Twenty Tasks attached to the Property-Company record. Subject carries the work-order title, body carries description and resolution notes. Priority, category, and vendor assignment migrate as custom fields. Original creation timestamp and assigned technician preserved. Closed tasks retain full history.
Entrata
Vendor
Twenty CRM
Company
1:1Entrata Vendors become Twenty Companies with a vendor-type custom field to distinguish them from Property records. Vendor contact name, email, and phone map to the standard Company contact fields. Service category (HVAC, plumbing, electrical) migrates as an industry__c custom field for filtering.
Entrata
Owner / User
Twenty CRM
WorkspaceMember
1:1Entrata user accounts are matched to Twenty WorkspaceMembers by email address. User roles (Property Manager, Leasing Agent, Maintenance Tech) map to Twenty permission groups. If a user email has no match in Twenty, the records assign to a default owner flagged for manual reassignment.
Entrata
Rent Payment / Ledger Entry
Twenty CRM
Custom fields on Opportunity
many:1Rent payment history and ledger entries do not map to a native Twenty object. We store the most recent payment date, outstanding balance, and payment status as custom fields on the Lease-Opportunity record. Full payment history is exported as a CSV attachment for reference but does not create individual records.
Entrata
Document / Attachment
Twenty CRM
Files on Company/Person/Opportunity
1:1Lease agreements, tenant documents, and work-order attachments are re-uploaded to Twenty's file storage and linked to the corresponding Company (Property), Person (Tenant), or Opportunity (Lease) record. File size limits and format compatibility are checked before upload to prevent migration failures.
Entrata
Inspection / Survey
Twenty CRM
Note
1:1Property inspection records migrate as Twenty Notes attached to the Property-Company. Inspection date, inspector name, and overall condition score migrate as custom fields on the Note. Detailed line-item inspection results are stored in the Note body for reference and future audit purposes.
Entrata
Marketing Campaign / Listing
Twenty CRM
Custom field on Person/Opportunity
1:1Entrata listing sources and marketing campaign attribution do not have a direct Twenty equivalent. We preserve the listing source (website, referral, walk-in) as a custom source__c picklist field on the Person record. Campaign-specific UTM data is stored as text fields for post-migration analytics.

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.
Entrata gotchas
API access requires signed partnership agreement
Automation workflows do not export
Document storage requires coordinated file extraction
Reporting module inconsistencies after updates
Separate mobile apps split functionality
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
Obtain Entrata API access and audit source data
We initiate the Entrata API agreement on your behalf and begin the data audit. We enumerate all Property, Tenant, Prospect, Lease, Work Order, and Vendor records; count volumes by entity type; and inventory custom fields in use. The audit output is a schema-diff document showing which Entrata fields have direct Twenty equivalents, which require custom fields, and which have no CRM counterpart. This document drives the Twenty schema setup in the next step.
Design and create Twenty custom fields
Based on the schema-diff, your Twenty admin (or our team) creates all required custom fields in Settings → Data Model before any data loads. This includes unit_count__c, lease_status__c, work_order_priority__c, monthly_rent__c, and others identified in the audit. Custom objects are created for any entity that cannot fit within the standard objects (e.g., a Unit custom object if your portfolio exceeds 500 units). Fields must exist before the CSV import step — Twenty's import creates records, not fields.
Resolve owners and invite Twenty users
Entrata user accounts are matched to Twenty WorkspaceMembers by email. We run a pre-flight match report: any Entrata user email that does not correspond to an invited Twenty user is flagged. Your team must invite those users to Twenty before migration day so owner resolution works on the first pass. Records belonging to unmatched users are assigned to a fallback owner and flagged for reassignment after go-live.
Run sample migration with field-level diff
We extract a representative slice from Entrata — typically 100–500 records spanning Properties, Tenants, Leases, and Work Orders — and load it into Twenty via the GraphQL batch-import endpoint. The field-level diff report compares source values against Twenty records, letting you verify lease-stage mapping, property-address accuracy, work-order priority mapping, and owner resolution before committing to the full migration run. This validation step catches mapping errors early and reduces risk on the production migration day.
Execute full migration with delta-pickup cutover
The full dataset migrates in dependency order: Companies first (Properties and Vendors), then People (Tenants and Prospects), then Opportunities (Leases), then Tasks (Work Orders), then Notes and Files. A delta-pickup window of 24–48 hours after the main run captures any records created or modified in Entrata during cutover. All operations are logged in an audit trail. One-click rollback reverts the Twenty workspace to its pre-migration state if reconciliation fails.
