Overview
Moving from iPresso to Twenty CRM means shifting from a marketing automation and CDP platform into a modern open-source CRM built for sales and customer relationship management. The structural difference is significant: iPresso stores contact records with behavioral event history, campaign interactions, and multi-channel properties (Email, SMS, Web Push, Print) as first-class attributes, while Twenty CRM models People, Companies, Opportunities, Tasks, and Notes with a clean standard object schema. We resolve this by mapping iPresso contact properties and tag memberships to Twenty's custom fields and Topics, preserving lifecycle stages and campaign engagement history as auditable data rather than native workflow triggers. iPresso's absence of public API documentation is the defining constraint of this migration—we handle data extraction through direct vendor coordination or screen-scraping where necessary. Workflows, multi-step automation sequences, landing pages, and email templates do not migrate as reusable assets; we deliver a written inventory of every active automation so your admin can rebuild them in Twenty's workflow system post-migration.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a iPresso 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.
iPresso
Contact
Twenty CRM
People
1:1iPresso Contact records map to Twenty People. We preserve name fields (firstName, lastName), email address, phone number, and lifecycle stage as a custom field ipresso_lifecycle_stage__c. Behavioral event history and campaign interaction counts migrate as JSON-serialized custom fields or as linked Note records so that historical engagement context is available without cluttering the People record. Channel subscription preferences (Email, SMS, Web Push) migrate to custom checkbox fields in Twenty.
iPresso
Company
Twenty CRM
Company
1:1iPresso Company records map directly to Twenty Company. Domain from iPresso's company domain field populates the Company website field and is used as the deduplication key during import. Industry classifications, custom company-level fields, and address data migrate as typed fields or custom fields in Twenty's Data Model. Company is created before People import so that the relationship lookup is satisfied at the moment of People insert.
iPresso
Campaign
Twenty CRM
Custom Object (Campaign) or Note
1:manyiPresso Campaign records represent marketing initiatives with audience segments, channel assignments, and performance metrics. We map campaign metadata (name, status, start/end dates, channel) to a Twenty Custom Object named Campaign. Audience segment membership is preserved as a tag-like custom field or linked via a Custom Object relationship. Performance metrics (opens, clicks, conversions) migrate as numeric custom fields. If the customer has a large campaign history, we discuss archiving older campaigns versus importing all.
iPresso
Tag
Twenty CRM
Custom Field (Multi-Select) or Topic
lossyiPresso contact segmentation tags migrate to Twenty as either a multi-select picklist custom field on People (recommended for under 50 distinct tags) or as Twenty Topics with TopicAssignment records (recommended if tags number in the hundreds and serve content classification purposes). The customer chooses the strategy during scoping. Tag membership history per contact migrates as a comma-delimited or JSON-serialized custom field value.
iPresso
Custom Field (Contact-level)
Twenty CRM
Custom Field
1:1iPresso custom contact properties migrate to Twenty custom fields on the People object. We create all custom fields in Twenty Settings → Data Model before importing any records, per Twenty's requirement that fields must exist before CSV import. Field types are mapped: text to text, date to date, number to number, picklist to select. Validation rules from iPresso custom fields require manual reconfiguration in Twenty's Data Model.
iPresso
Custom Field (Company-level)
Twenty CRM
Custom Field
1:1iPresso custom company properties migrate to Twenty custom fields on the Company object. Same approach as contact-level custom fields: pre-create in Twenty's Data Model before import, map field types explicitly, and note any picklist values that require translation. Industry-specific iPresso company configurations (Finance, FMCG, Education, Travel verticals) map to custom fields with appropriate data types or to a vertical-specific Custom Object.
iPresso
Industry Solutions
Twenty CRM
Custom Object
lossyiPresso Enterprise-tier industry-specific solutions (FMCG, Finance, Education, Travel) are custom-configured objects that exist only on higher iPresso plans. We map each to a corresponding Twenty Custom Object with fields matching the source schema. These require pre-creation in Twenty's Data Model with lookup relationships to Company and People. Not all iPresso industry configurations are directly migratable—some represent workflow logic rather than pure data, and those are documented in the automation inventory rather than imported.
iPresso
Email Template
Twenty CRM
Note (content) or Custom Object (Template)
1:1iPresso email templates store HTML content and dynamic personalization tokens. We extract the HTML body and migrate it as a Note record attached to a Template-type Custom Object, preserving the template name and any field reference tokens for manual update in Twenty. Dynamic tokens (contact.firstName, contact.email) require field reference updates because Twenty uses different variable syntax. We do not migrate template rendering logic or A/B test configurations.
iPresso
Channel (Email, SMS, Web Push, Print)
Twenty CRM
Configuration (rebuild required)
lossyiPresso channel configurations (sender settings, SMS provider credentials, Web Push credentials) do not export as reusable data because they contain credentials and third-party API keys tied to the iPresso platform. We document the channel configuration settings in the handoff inventory so that the customer's admin can recreate them in Twenty or the appropriate channel provider. Email sending via Twenty uses the configured SMTP or email provider; SMS requires a Twilio or equivalent integration.
iPresso
Workflow
Twenty CRM
Not migrated (rebuild inventory)
lossyiPresso multi-step workflow sequences do not migrate. We deliver a written inventory of every active iPresso Workflow documenting its trigger conditions, steps, delays, CRM actions, and channel assignments. The customer uses this inventory to rebuild equivalent logic in Twenty's system. Twenty CRM does not include a native visual workflow builder as of 2026—automations require custom development or a third-party workflow tool integrated via API. This is a significant scope item that the customer should plan for separately.
iPresso
Landing Page
Twenty CRM
Not migrated (rebuild required)
lossyiPresso drag-and-drop landing page assets do not export as reusable templates or HTML. We document the page names, URLs, associated campaigns, and form field configurations in the handoff inventory. The customer's admin rebuilds pages in their preferred landing page tool (Twenty does not include native landing page creation). Form field mappings are preserved as structured data so that the new landing page tool can reference the same field names.

Pair-specific challenges
Migration approach
Discovery and iPresso data extraction coordination
We audit the iPresso account across edition tier, contact volume, company volume, campaign count, active workflows, custom fields (contact-level and company-level), tag structure, and industry-specific configurations. Because iPresso has no public API, we simultaneously initiate vendor coordination to request data dumps in CSV, JSON, or the vendor's preferred export format. We assess what data is directly extractable, what requires screen-scraping, and what may be unavailable. The discovery output is a written migration scope and a data extraction plan that identifies the constraints and timeline impact of the manual extraction process.
Schema design and Twenty Data Model configuration
We design the destination schema in Twenty CRM. This includes creating any custom objects needed (Campaign, industry verticals), adding custom fields to People and Company for lifecycle stage, tag memberships, channel subscriptions, and campaign engagement data, and configuring picklist values for any migrated categorical fields. We create all fields in Twenty Settings → Data Model before any import because Twenty requires fields to exist before CSV import. We also invite all team members who will be referenced as record owners before import so that OwnerId lookups are satisfied at migration time.
Data extraction, cleansing, and transformation
We execute the data extraction plan developed in Step 1, working with the iPresso vendor or using approved data access methods to obtain record exports. We cleanse the extracted data: deduplicating contacts by email address, standardizing phone number formats (E.164), correcting date formats, resolving null values, and identifying records to archive versus migrate (stale contacts with no activity in two or more years are candidates for archiving). We transform the data according to the mapping defined in the schema design step, including serializing behavioral event history and campaign interaction counts into custom field formats compatible with Twenty.
Sandbox migration and reconciliation
We run a full migration into a Twenty sandbox or staging environment using production-like data volume. The customer's team reconciles record counts (People in, Companies in, tag memberships in), spot-checks 25-50 random records against the iPresso source data, and reviews the custom field values to confirm transformation logic is correct. Any mapping corrections happen here. We also validate that the Twenty workspace is stable at the current version and that no interface changes have affected the migration approach.
Production migration in dependency order
We run production migration in record-dependency order: Companies first (from iPresso Company records), then People (with CompanyId resolved via domain match), then Custom Objects (Campaign, industry solutions), then custom field data backfills, then tag memberships and topic assignments. Each phase emits a row-count reconciliation report before the next phase begins. Workflows and landing pages are not migrated; they are documented in the automation inventory delivered separately.
Cutover, validation, and automation rebuild handoff
We freeze iPresso writes during cutover, run a final delta migration of any records modified during the migration window, then designate Twenty as the system of record. We deliver the workflow and automation inventory document to the customer's admin team, covering every iPresso workflow with its trigger, conditions, steps, and recommended rebuild approach. We support a one-week hypercare window where we resolve reconciliation issues raised by the team. We do not rebuild iPresso workflows as Twenty automations inside the migration scope; that requires custom development or a separate automation platform evaluation.
