Overview
Moving from Gold-Vision to Twenty CRM is a transition from a bundled, UK-centric all-in-one CRM to a modern open-source alternative that returns full data ownership to the business. Gold-Vision bundles CRM, project management, quoting, and marketing automation at £35-£80 per user per month with a per-seat model; Twenty CRM is self-hosted free forever under an AGPL-3.0 license backed by Y Combinator (S23). The structural difference is that Gold-Vision models Projects as standalone entities with time entries, while Twenty CRM uses a standard CRM object taxonomy of Organizations, People, Opportunities, and Activities. We map Gold-Vision's Accounts to Twenty Organizations, Contacts to People, Opportunities to Opportunities, and Communications to Activity records. Custom fields on every object carry over to Twenty's field model. We do not migrate Gold-Vision's process automations, document templates, or marketing automation as code; we deliver a written inventory for the customer's admin to rebuild in Twenty's automation builder.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a Gold-Vision 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.
Gold-Vision
Account
Twenty CRM
Organization
1:1Gold-Vision Account records map directly to Twenty CRM Organization records. Gold-Vision account fields (address, industry, annual revenue, owner) map to the corresponding Twenty Organization fields. The Organization is the parent record for all Person records, so it must be imported before any Contact migration. Gold-Vision's multi-business entity configuration maps to multiple Twenty workspaces or a single workspace with filtered views per entity.
Gold-Vision
Contact
Twenty CRM
Person
1:1Gold-Vision Contact records map to Twenty CRM Person records. Each Person links to an Organization via a foreign key resolved at migration time. Gold-Vision's email, phone, job title, and communication history fields map to the corresponding Twenty Person fields. Custom fields on Contact migrate as Twenty custom fields on the Person object.
Gold-Vision
Lead
Twenty CRM
Person (or Opportunity with type flag)
1:1Gold-Vision Leads are a distinct record type with their own pipeline and status fields. Twenty CRM does not have a separate Lead object; all people records are Person records. We import Gold-Vision Leads as Persons with a custom field gv_lead_source__c carrying the original Lead status and source, or as Opportunities in the early pipeline stage if the customer prefers a pipeline-based qualification model. The approach is chosen during scoping based on the customer's qualification workflow.
Gold-Vision
Opportunity
Twenty CRM
Opportunity
1:1Gold-Vision Opportunity records map to Twenty CRM Opportunity records. The pipeline stage from Gold-Vision maps to Twenty's pipeline stage, and close dates, monetary values, and probability weights transfer directly. Gold-Vision custom opportunity fields migrate as Twenty custom fields on the Opportunity object.
Gold-Vision
Pipeline
Twenty CRM
Pipeline
lossyGold-Vision's named pipelines with configurable stages map to Twenty's Pipeline and Stage configuration. We capture the full stage sequence, probability percentages, and stage names during discovery and configure the equivalent pipeline structure in Twenty before migration. Multiple Gold-Vision pipelines map to multiple Twenty pipelines or a single pipeline with a type field if the customer prefers consolidated views.
Gold-Vision
Project
Twenty CRM
Custom record type or Opportunity
1:manyGold-Vision Projects are standalone records with time entries, task hierarchies, and assigned contacts that do not have a direct Twenty CRM equivalent. We export Projects as a custom record type in Twenty (Project__c) with fields for project name, dates, status, and assigned contacts, or as Opportunities with a project_type__c flag if the customer prefers a pipeline-based view. Time entries migrate as Activity records with a project reference field. Customers should validate that the chosen representation meets their operational needs before migration.
Gold-Vision
Campaign
Twenty CRM
Standard Object (custom implementation)
1:1Gold-Vision Campaign records with multi-stage status tracking and ROI reporting do not have a native Twenty CRM equivalent. We export campaign records and member associations and map them to Twenty as a custom Campaign__c object with a CampaignMember__c junction object linking to Person records. The customer decides whether to build a campaign reporting view in Twenty or use an external marketing analytics tool.
Gold-Vision
Quote
Twenty CRM
OpportunityLineItem or external
1:1Gold-Vision Quotes carry line items, branding templates, and e-sign links. Twenty CRM does not have a native Quote object. We export quote headers and line items as OpportunityLineItem records attached to the parent Opportunity, or preserve them as an external document reference with the quote URL carried in a custom field. E-sign metadata preserves as a URL reference; the actual signed document does not migrate as a native object.
Gold-Vision
Ticket
Twenty CRM
Opportunity (service pipeline) or custom object
1:1Gold-Vision service desk Tickets support custom fields, conversation threads, and agent assignment. Twenty CRM does not have a native service desk object. We map Tickets to a Twenty service pipeline (an Opportunity with RecordType=Service) and conversation threads to Activity records linked to the Opportunity. Alternatively, customers who need a dedicated service workflow use a custom Ticket__c object.
Gold-Vision
Custom Fields
Twenty CRM
Custom Fields
lossyGold-Vision supports unlimited additional fields on all major objects via its API. We extract the full custom field schema per object during discovery and pre-create the equivalent custom fields in Twenty CRM through Settings → Data Model before any data migration. Field types are mapped from Gold-Vision's data types to Twenty's supported field types (text, number, date, select, multi-select, checkbox, currency, URL).
Gold-Vision
Attachments
Twenty CRM
Attachments / Files
1:1Gold-Vision documents and file attachments stored against Accounts, Contacts, Opportunities, Projects, and Tickets migrate as binary blobs re-associated to the correct record in Twenty CRM. Twenty supports file attachments on Organizations, Persons, and Opportunities. Large attachments (>25 MB) may require chunked upload handling. We preserve the original filename and attachment context during migration.
Gold-Vision
Tags and Categories
Twenty CRM
Standard Objects / Tags
1:1Gold-Vision uses tags and categories as organizational labels across objects. We preserve the full tag and category taxonomy and re-apply labels to migrated records in Twenty CRM. Tags migrate as a tagging solution implemented in Twenty (custom tag field or external tagging tool), as Twenty does not have a native tagging system in the core product.

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.
Gold-Vision gotchas
Gold-Vision has no documented public API rate limit or bulk export endpoint
On-premises and custom-integrated deployments require separate migration path
Project and time entry records do not map 1:1 to standard CRM objects
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 deployment audit
We audit the Gold-Vision instance across object count (Accounts, Contacts, Leads, Opportunities, Projects, Tickets, Campaigns, Quotes), custom field schemas per object, active process automations, attachment volumes, and communication log size. We also identify whether the Gold-Vision instance is cloud-hosted SaaS or on-premises (Ultimate or Enterprise tier) because each uses a different API path. The discovery output is a written migration scope with record counts, a schema inventory, and a Twenty CRM workspace preparation checklist.
Twenty CRM workspace configuration
We configure the Twenty CRM workspace before any data migration. This includes creating Organizations, Persons, and Opportunities from Twenty's standard object model; adding any custom fields required to match Gold-Vision's custom field schemas; configuring pipeline stages to match Gold-Vision's pipeline structure; and setting up user accounts mapped to Gold-Vision owners by email. We deploy via Twenty's Settings → Data Model interface or API depending on schema complexity. The workspace configuration is validated in a staging environment before production migration begins.
Sandbox migration and reconciliation
We run a full migration into a Twenty CRM staging instance using production-like data volume. The customer's team spot-checks 25-50 records against the Gold-Vision source across each object type, validates that custom field values transferred correctly, confirms that pipeline stage assignments match the original, and signs off before production migration. Any mapping corrections happen at this stage. This step prevents data quality issues from reaching the production Twenty instance.
Owner and user reconciliation
We extract every distinct Gold-Vision Owner referenced on Accounts, Contacts, Opportunities, and Tickets and match by email against the Twenty CRM destination's user table. Any Gold-Vision Owner without a matching Twenty user goes to a reconciliation queue. The customer's admin provisions missing users in Twenty before record import resumes. Owner resolution must be complete before importing Opportunities, because Opportunity assignment depends on an OwnerId reference.
Production migration in dependency order
We run production migration in record-dependency order: Organizations (from Gold-Vision Accounts), Persons (from Gold-Vision Contacts, with OrganizationId resolved), Opportunities (with PersonId and OwnerId resolved), Projects (to custom record type or Opportunity), Tickets (to service pipeline or custom object), Campaigns (to custom Campaign__c object), Quotes (as OpportunityLineItem or external), Attachments (linked to parent records), Tags and Categories (applied to all records), and Activity history (emails, calls, meetings, tasks as Activity records via Twenty's API). Each phase emits a row-count reconciliation report before the next phase begins.
Cutover, validation, and automation handoff
We freeze Gold-Vision write access during cutover, run a final delta migration of any records modified during the migration window, then enable Twenty CRM as the system of record. We deliver a data reconciliation report comparing Gold-Vision source counts to Twenty destination counts for every object. We deliver the process automation inventory document to the customer's admin for rebuild in Twenty's automation builder. We support a one-week hypercare window for reconciliation issues. We do not rebuild Gold-Vision process automations, document templates, or marketing automation inside the migration scope; those are separate engagements.
