Overview
Follow Up Boss is a real-estate-specific CRM built around people, companies, and deals with a pipeline-stage model and Action Plans for automated follow-up sequences. Twenty CRM is a general-purpose open-source CRM that structures data around People, Companies, Opportunities, Notes, and Tasks with configurable stage pipelines and a REST + GraphQL API for data import. The two platforms share a similar contact-company-deal triad but diverge on how they model lead stages, automation logic, and API access tiers. We map Follow Up Boss People to Twenty People (direct for name, email, phone, address fields), Follow Up Boss Companies to Twenty Companies (domain, industry, employee count), and Follow Up Boss Deals to Twenty Opportunities (deal name, amount, pipeline stage). Custom fields from Follow Up Boss (text, date, number, dropdown types) migrate to Twenty custom fields via Settings → Data Model before CSV import. Action Plans and automated sequences do not have a Twenty equivalent and must be rebuilt manually using Twenty's workflow builder or documented for re-implementation. Activity history (calls, emails, meetings, notes) maps to Twenty Tasks and Notes with original timestamps and owners preserved via email-match resolution. FlitStack AI sequences the migration so foreign keys resolve in the correct order: Companies first (the 'one' side), then People linked to companies, then Opportunities linked to both. A sample migration runs first with field-level diff before the full cutover, followed by a delta-pickup window capturing in-flight changes during the transition period.
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 Follow Up Boss 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.
Follow Up Boss
Person
Twenty CRM
People
1:1Follow Up Boss Person maps 1:1 to Twenty People. Standard contact fields (name, email, phone, address) transfer directly. The Person's company link resolves to a Twenty Companies record if the source company exists in the migration set. Additional fields like source and stage also transfer when present in the source data, ensuring complete contact profiles in Twenty.
Follow Up Boss
Company
Twenty CRM
Companies
1:1Follow Up Boss Company maps to Twenty Companies. Industry, employee count, annual revenue, and domain fields map directly where present. Parent-company hierarchies in Follow Up Boss map to the Parent Company relation in Twenty using the same company as the parent.
Follow Up Boss
Deal
Twenty CRM
Opportunities
1:1Follow Up Boss Deal maps to Twenty Opportunities. Deal name, amount, expected close date, and pipeline stage transfer directly. The pipeline stage in Follow Up Boss maps to a Twenty Opportunity stage within the configured pipeline. Deal associations to People and Companies are preserved through email and domain linking in Twenty's relationship system.
Follow Up Boss
Pipeline
Twenty CRM
Opportunity Stage Pipeline
1:1Follow Up Boss Pipeline configuration maps to a Twenty pipeline with configurable stages. Each pipeline in Follow Up Boss becomes a separate stage set in Twenty's Opportunity pipeline settings. Stages are recreated before migration so the importer can route records correctly.
Follow Up Boss
Action Plan
Twenty CRM
Workflow
1:1Action Plans (automated multi-step sequences) have no direct equivalent in Twenty CRM. We export Action Plan definitions as a JSON blueprint documenting step order, wait times, trigger conditions, and task types. Rebuild in Twenty's workflow builder or via API is manual work handled by your team or a Twenty specialist.
Follow Up Boss
Event (Call, Email, Meeting)
Twenty CRM
Tasks
1:1Follow Up Boss events (calls logged, emails sent, meetings scheduled) map to Twenty Tasks. The task subject, body, due date, and completion status transfer with original timestamps preserved. Call disposition notes map to the task body in Twenty. Meeting details including start and end times are captured in task metadata for complete activity history.
Follow Up Boss
Note
Twenty CRM
Notes
1:1Follow Up Boss notes attached to People, Companies, or Deals map to Twenty Notes. Notes are linked to the corresponding People or Companies record via the import relation mechanism using email for People and domain for Companies. The original note body and creation timestamp are preserved in Twenty's Notes object for full audit trail continuity.
Follow Up Boss
Tag
Twenty CRM
Custom Field (Text or Multi-Select)
1:1Follow Up Boss tags do not have a native equivalent in Twenty's base schema. We create a Tags__c custom text field or multi-select field on the People object and populate it with comma-separated tag values from Follow Up Boss during migration.
Follow Up Boss
Stage History
Twenty CRM
Custom Datetime Fields
1:1Follow Up Boss stage-transition timestamps are preserved as custom datetime fields in Twenty (Stage_Entered_Date__c, Stage_Changed_At__c) on the Opportunity record. These enable reporting continuity for pipeline velocity analysis after go-live. The timestamp history allows teams to reconstruct deal progression and calculate average time spent in each stage for accurate forecasting.
Follow Up Boss
Custom Field (Text, Date, Number, Dropdown)
Twenty CRM
Custom Field
1:1Follow Up Boss custom fields of types text, date, number, and dropdown map to Twenty custom fields created in Settings → Data Model before import. Dropdown fields map to Twenty select fields with the same choice values. Field-level type is preserved; note that Follow Up Boss does not allow field type changes post-creation.
Follow Up Boss
User / Owner
Twenty CRM
Workspace Member
1:1Follow Up Boss user assignments (deal owner, assigned agent) resolve by email match against Twenty Workspace Members. Unmatched owners are flagged pre-migration; your team either invites them to Twenty first or assigns records to a fallback owner. No record lands without a resolved Twenty owner.
Follow Up Boss
Attachment / File
Twenty CRM
Files
1:1Follow Up Boss file attachments on People, Companies, or Deals are downloaded and re-uploaded to Twenty. File size limits apply per the self-hosted or cloud configuration. Inline images in notes are extracted and hosted separately as Twenty does not natively render embedded images from external URLs.

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.
Follow Up Boss gotchas
API rate limits restrict bulk migration throughput
Action Plans are not a standalone exportable object
CSV export from the UI excludes unexposed columns unless explicitly requested
Dropdown custom field choices are locked once data exists in them
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
Audit Follow Up Boss data and create Twenty schema
FlitStack AI exports a full snapshot of your Follow Up Boss data: People, Companies, Deals, custom fields, tags, and activity history. We audit record counts, identify duplicate risks, and flag custom fields with non-standard types. Simultaneously, we create the Twenty CRM schema by adding custom fields in Settings → Data Model that match Follow Up Boss custom field names and types, configuring pipeline stages that mirror your Follow Up Boss deal pipeline, and inviting all team members so owner resolution can proceed by email match.
Resolve owners and export data in correct sequence
We match Follow Up Boss owner IDs to Twenty Workspace Members by email. Unmatched owners are flagged with a fallback assignment rule (e.g., assign to admin user or a designated migration owner). Once owner resolution is complete, we export Follow Up Boss data in the required sequence: Companies first (CSV via People page export), then People, then Deals. Tags are extracted as a separate dataset for Tags__c population. Action Plan definitions are exported as a JSON blueprint for manual rebuild documentation.
Run sample migration with field-level diff
A representative slice of 100–500 records migrates first: a mix of People, Companies, Deals, and records with custom fields. We generate a field-level diff comparing source values against destination values so you can verify that stage mapping, owner resolution, tag population, and custom field values transferred correctly before committing the full dataset. You review the diff and approve or request adjustments before the full migration runs.
Execute full migration with delta-pickup window
The full migration runs against your Twenty CRM workspace. A delta-pickup window (typically 24–48 hours) captures any records created or modified in Follow Up Boss during the cutover period. FlitStack AI uses scoped read access on Follow Up Boss throughout—so your team keeps working without interruption. After the delta window closes, we run a reconciliation report comparing record counts and field completeness between source and destination, then deliver an audit log of every operation performed.
Deliver rollback capability and post-migration handoff
If reconciliation reveals discrepancies that require reversal, FlitStack AI provides a one-click rollback that restores Twenty to its pre-migration snapshot state. We deliver the Action Plan blueprint document, the full field-mapping reference sheet, and a post-migration checklist covering what requires manual rebuild (workflows, integrations, notifications) versus what migrated automatically. Your team has 30 days of post-migration support for any data corrections.
