Overview
Moving from Evam to Twenty CRM is a migration from an event-driven journey orchestration platform to an open-source entity-relationship CRM. Evam sequences behavioral and transactional events into multi-channel Campaigns and Journeys; Twenty CRM uses standard objects (People, Companies, Opportunities, Tasks) without native event-stream or journey automation. We migrate the customer profile data and scoped event history that represent the factual record, document the full channel configuration for manual re-setup, and deliver a written topology of every active Journey for the customer's admin to rebuild in Twenty's workflow model. Evam's AI-based predictive scores have no documented export endpoint and are not migratable; customers should plan to re-run scoring in Twenty post-cutover or accept a scoring-free reset on day one. We do not migrate Journey definitions as logic, Workflows, Sequences, or Channel configurations because these are either environment-locked or structurally incompatible with Twenty's data model.
Every standard and custom field arrives verified.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a Evam 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.
Evam
Customer
Twenty CRM
Person
1:1Evam Customer records map directly to Twenty CRM Person objects. Standard profile fields (name, email, phone, demographic attributes) migrate 1:1. Custom customer properties defined beyond Evam's standard schema migrate as custom fields on the Person object in Twenty. We use the customer email address as the dedupe key during import to prevent duplicate Person records. The migration user must have write access to the Person API in the target Twenty instance.
Evam
Event
Twenty CRM
Task or Custom Event Object
lossyBehavioral and transactional Events in Evam are the highest-risk migration object. Evam's event stream stores timestamps, payload schemas, and triggering rules; however, the raw volume (potentially billions of touchpoints) makes full export impractical. We scope the event export to a defined time window (typically the last 90-180 days) agreed during scoping, preserve the full event sequence per Customer, and migrate Events as Task records in Twenty or as a custom Event object if the customer requires the payload schema preserved. Older events are aggregated or sampled to keep migration scope manageable.
Evam
Segment
Twenty CRM
Custom Field or Filter Group
lossyEvam Segments are customer groupings used to filter journey entry and campaign targeting. Segment membership criteria (rule sets or filter configurations) export as condition trees. We preserve the membership criteria in a written Segment inventory document that the customer's admin uses to recreate filter groups in Twenty's list view or as a custom picklist field on Person. Active Segment membership (the current list of Customers in each Segment) migrates as tag values or custom multi-select fields on Person records.
Evam
Campaign
Twenty CRM
Task or Note with Campaign Metadata
1:1Evam Campaigns attached to journey steps or run independently migrate as Task records in Twenty with campaign metadata (name, status, start/end dates, channel assignments) stored in custom fields. Campaign performance metrics (open rates, click rates, conversion rates) are derived post-migration in Twenty's reporting layer or a connected analytics tool. We preserve the Campaign-to-Customer association as a Task linked to the Person record.
Evam
Journey
Twenty CRM
Written Inventory (no code migration)
1:1Evam Journeys encode step sequences, branch conditions, wait timers, and entry/exit rules. Journey definitions are not exposed via a documented export endpoint. We use API snapshots and manual documentation during discovery to capture journey topology and produce a written inventory of every active Journey with its trigger, conditions, step sequence, channel actions, and wait logic. The customer's admin rebuilds this in Twenty using available automation tools or external workflow platforms. We do not migrate Journey logic as executable code.
Evam
Channel
Twenty CRM
Re-setup Checklist (no data migration)
lossySMS sender IDs, push notification credentials, and in-app notification configurations are bound to Evam's registered application environment and cannot be transferred. We document the full channel configuration during discovery — including provider names, credential types, sender IDs, and webhook URLs — and deliver a re-setup checklist so the customer's operations team can re-register credentials in Twenty or a connected channel platform before cutover.
Evam
AI Models / Predictive Scores
Twenty CRM
None
1:1Evam's AI-based propensity scores are computed per-customer within Evam's runtime environment and are not accessible via the documented API. We cannot migrate these scores directly. Customers relying on AI-driven routing in Journeys should plan to re-run scoring in the destination platform post-migration, integrate an external scoring tool, or accept a scoring-free reset on day one. We flag this as a pre-migration decision point during scoping.
Evam
Custom Field
Twenty CRM
Custom Field
1:1Extended properties on Customers, Events, or Journeys defined by the customer beyond Evam's standard schema migrate field-by-field. We map each custom field to a corresponding custom field in Twenty, noting data type compatibility (text, number, date, picklist, multi-select, relation). Custom fields on Events require the custom Event object or Task custom fields to be provisioned in Twenty before event import begins.
Evam
Owner
Twenty CRM
Workspace User
1:1Evam Owner records map to Twenty CRM workspace Users. We resolve by email match. Any Evam Owner without a matching Twenty User goes to a reconciliation queue for the customer's admin to provision before record import resumes.
Evam
Company
Twenty CRM
Company
1:1If the Evam instance stores organizational data alongside Customer records, Company objects map directly to Twenty CRM Company. The Company domain or name becomes the deduplication key. Company records are created before Person import so that the Person-Company relationship is satisfied at the moment of Person insert.

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.
Evam gotchas
Journey logic lacks structured export
AI predictive scores are non-exportable
Event data volume requires selective snapshot strategy
Channel credentials are environment-locked
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 migration scoping
We audit the Evam instance across Customers, Events, Segments, Campaigns, Journeys, and custom fields. We document the active Journey count, channel configuration inventory, and any known AI score dependencies. We agree on the event snapshot window (90-180 days), the Segment membership migration strategy (as tags or custom fields), and the custom field inventory. We confirm the target Twenty CRM instance (self-hosted or cloud), workspace URL, and API access credentials. The discovery output is a written migration scope with object inventory, snapshot window, and go-live checkpoint criteria.
Twenty schema provisioning and custom field creation
We pre-create the destination schema in Twenty before any data migration. This includes provisioning custom fields on the Person object (mapped from Evam custom Customer properties), any custom Event object or Task custom fields, custom fields for Campaign metadata, and workspace User provisioning for owners. We use Twenty's REST API to create fields with the correct types (text, number, date, picklist, multi-select, relation). Schema provisioning happens in a staging environment or in parallel with production migration if the customer confirms no impact on live data.
Customer, Company, and Segment membership migration
We migrate Evam Customer records (mapped to Twenty Person objects) and any Company records first, using email as the dedupe key. Segment membership migrates as custom multi-select fields or tag values on Person records. We run a reconciliation report comparing record counts in Evam against the Twenty Person API response and resolve any duplicates before proceeding. Each segment's membership criteria is documented in the written Segment inventory for admin rebuild.
Scoped event snapshot migration
We export the Evam event stream scoped to the agreed time window (typically 90-180 days) and migrate Events as Task records or a custom Event object in Twenty. The migration runs in batches with exponential backoff on API rate limit responses. We preserve the event sequence per Customer by setting the Task due date to the original event timestamp and linking the Task to the corresponding Person record. Events outside the snapshot window are aggregated into summary records and documented in the migration scope.
Campaign and Journey topology documentation
We document every active Evam Campaign and Journey in a written inventory delivered to the customer's admin. Campaign metadata (name, status, dates, channel assignments) migrates as Task records with custom fields. Journey topology is captured as a step-by-step diagram with triggers, conditions, branch logic, wait timers, and channel actions. This document is the handoff artifact for the admin rebuild in Twenty or a connected automation platform.
Cutover, delta sync, and channel re-setup handoff
We freeze Evam writes during cutover, run a final delta migration of any records modified during the migration window, then enable Twenty as the system of record. We deliver the channel re-setup checklist and the Journey topology document. We support a one-week hypercare window where we resolve any data reconciliation issues. We do not rebuild Journeys, Sequences, or channel integrations as part of the migration scope; those are separate engagements handled by the customer's operations team or a Twenty implementation partner.
