Overview

What this migration involves

Jiva is a healthcare-enterprise operations platform built around care management workflows, clinical content, and payer-administrator data structures. It does not expose a conventional CRM object model — contacts, companies, and deals live as custom objects and custom fields with healthcare-specific naming conventions that bear little resemblance to standard CRM schema. Twenty CRM provides People (contacts), Companies (accounts), Opportunities (deals), Notes, and Tasks as standard objects, with unlimited custom fields and custom objects on Organization plans. The migration challenge is twofold: extracting Jiva's non-standard record structure and remapping it into Twenty's flat object graph, and reconciling Jiva's hierarchical care-management relationships with Twenty's relational model where contacts link to companies and opportunities link to both. We handle this through a staged export process — audit Jiva's custom object schema, build the matching Twenty custom fields and objects before import, resolve owners by email, then run a sample migration to validate field-level fidelity before committing the full dataset. Workflows, care pathways, and clinical automations have no Twenty equivalent and must be rebuilt manually. We deliver an export-for-rebuild package so your team has a documented reference for every rule that needs reconstructing.

Why teams make this switch

Two sides of the same decision

Leaving

Jiva

What's pushing teams away

  • Steep learning curve for non-technical care managers who need to navigate complex rule configuration and workflow setup without dedicated training.
  • Reporting and analytics require manual effort to surface meaningful population health insights, with limited out-of-the-box dashboards for executives.
  • Integration with external EHRs and provider portals is inconsistent, requiring custom middleware work that adds implementation cost and time.
  • Pricing opacity and enterprise-only sales process makes it difficult to evaluate total cost before committing, with quotes referencing hidden license fees.
  • Performance slowdowns observed in large-member populations where query response times degrade without clear remediation from support.

Choosing

Twenty CRM

What's pulling them in

  • Top open-source CRM on GitHub with 40.6K stars, giving teams full source code access and infrastructure ownership without per-feature licensing surprises.
  • Free self-hosting under AGPL-3.0 means unlimited users and custom objects for the cost of cloud infrastructure alone, typically $20–100/month.
  • Pricing page explicitly mocks competitors for charging add-on fees for API access, webhooks, and workflows — transparency that resonates with RevOps teams burned by Salesforce.
  • Unlimited custom objects and fields with no price impact, letting teams shape the data model to their business rather than forcing business into rigid schemas.
  • Modern TypeScript/React/PostgreSQL stack means developer-led teams can extend, self-host, or integrate without fighting legacy architecture.

Object mapping

How Jiva objects map to Twenty CRM

Each row shows how a Jiva 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.

Jiva

Custom Contact / Member Object

maps to

Twenty CRM

People

1:1
Fully supported

Jiva stores individuals (patients, members, caregivers) as custom objects with healthcare-specific fields like coverage tier, member ID, and care coordinator assignment. We map these to Twenty's People object, creating custom fields for every Jiva property that has no standard Twenty equivalent. Original Jiva record IDs are preserved in Source_System_ID__c for traceability.

Jiva

Custom Company / Provider Organization

maps to

Twenty CRM

Companies

1:1
Fully supported

Jiva's provider or facility records (hospitals, clinics, payers) map directly to Twenty's Companies object. Provider type, network affiliation, and state licensing fields migrate as custom fields on the Company record. Parent-child hierarchies in Jiva map to the Parent Company relation in Twenty.

Jiva

Care Plan / Care Pathway Record

maps to

Twenty CRM

Custom Object: Care_Plan__c

1:1
Fully supported

Jiva care plans contain clinical goals, intervention schedules, and outcome tracking that have no standard CRM equivalent. We create a Care_Plan__c custom object in Twenty and map plan status, start date, goal descriptions, and assigned care coordinator. Linking to People (member) and Company (facility) requires creating the relations before this object is imported.

Jiva

Authorization / Prior Authorization Record

maps to

Twenty CRM

Custom Object: Authorization__c

1:1
Fully supported

Jiva authorization records track approval status, authorized service types, and payer responses. These map to a custom Authorization__c object in Twenty with fields for auth number, status, service type, authorized units, and expiration date. Payer name links to the corresponding Company record.

Jiva

Assessment / Clinical Screening Record

maps to

Twenty CRM

Custom Object: Assessment__c

1:1
Fully supported

Jiva clinical assessments contain scoring data, risk categorizations, and screening results stored as custom fields on custom objects. We create an Assessment__c custom object, mapping assessment type, score, risk level, and assessment date. Links to the member's People record preserve the relationship.

Jiva

Encounter / Visit Record

maps to

Twenty CRM

Task

1:1
Fully supported

Jiva encounter records (office visits, telehealth sessions, home visits) map to Twenty Tasks with Type='Encounter'. Original encounter date, visit type, provider name, and encounter outcome migrate as task custom fields. The task links to the member's People record and the facility's Company record.

Jiva

Care Coordinator / Assigned Staff

maps to

Twenty CRM

WorkspaceMember

1:1
Fully supported

Jiva staff assignments (care coordinators, case managers) resolve by email match to Twenty Workspace Members. We flag any Jiva staff without a matching Twenty user before migration and surface them in a resolution report so your admin can invite or create the user first.

Jiva

Note / Clinical Note

maps to

Twenty CRM

Note

1:1
Fully supported

Free-text notes on Jiva records (clinical notes, care summaries) migrate as Twenty Notes attached to the corresponding People or custom object record. Original creation timestamp and author are preserved. Rich-text formatting is flattened to plain text to match Twenty's Note field constraints.

Jiva

Payer / Insurance Company Record

maps to

Twenty CRM

Companies

1:1
Fully supported

Jiva payer organization records map to Twenty Companies with company type set to 'Payer' via a custom pick-list field. Payer-specific properties (contracted plans, payer ID) migrate as custom fields. These are distinct from provider organizations and are kept separate for reporting clarity.

Jiva

Task / Care Action Item

maps to

Twenty CRM

Task

1:1
Fully supported

Jiva action items and follow-up tasks map directly to Twenty Tasks with the original due date, assignee, status, and description preserved. Tasks that are linked to a specific care plan carry a custom field reference to the migrated Care_Plan__c record ID.

Jiva

Attachment / File (e.g., care plan PDFs, authorization letters)

maps to

Twenty CRM

Files (via URL reference or re-upload)

1:1
Fully supported

Jiva file attachments on care records cannot be directly re-hosted in Twenty's file storage. We download attachments, re-upload them to Twenty's built-in storage, and create a link record (custom field) pointing from the People or custom object to the new file. Large file size limits apply — documents exceeding 25MB require manual handling.

Jiva

Integration / Third-Party Connection (e.g., EHR, payer clearinghouse)

maps to

Twenty CRM

No equivalent

1:1
Fully supported

Jiva integrations with EHR systems, payer clearinghouses, and pharmacy networks have no direct equivalent in Twenty CRM. These connections must be rebuilt separately using Twenty's REST API or GraphQL endpoints. We provide a connection inventory as part of the migration package so your technical team knows exactly which integrations need rebuilding.

Pair-specific challenges

  • Care-pathway workflows have no Twenty equivalent and must be rebuilt from scratch

    Jiva's core value proposition is clinical workflow automation — care pathways that trigger actions based on clinical events, payer responses, or member status changes. Twenty's workflow builder handles standard CRM automations (task creation on stage change, field updates on record save) but has no native concept of clinical care pathways or payer-triggered events. FlitStack AI does not migrate workflows. We export every Jiva workflow definition with its trigger conditions, action steps, and logic branches as a structured JSON package that your admin can use as a rebuild specification in Twenty's Settings → Workflows panel.

  • Jiva's custom object schema must be extracted and manually mapped before any import

    Unlike HubSpot or Salesforce where standard CRM objects are well-documented, Jiva's data model is healthcare-specific and not publicly exported via a standard API schema. We start every Jiva migration with a schema audit — crawling Jiva's API to enumerate every distinct object type, field name, field type, and relationship. This audit determines how many custom fields and custom objects Twenty needs before a single record can land. Pro plan users are capped at 10 custom objects — if your Jiva instance uses more, you need to upgrade to Organization ($19/user/mo) before migration proceeds.

  • Import order is strictly enforced — Companies before People before Opportunities

    Twenty's CSV import requires that the 'one' side of any relationship exists before the 'many' side can reference it. The import order is: (1) Companies — because People records link to a CompanyId, (2) People — because Opportunity records link to a PeopleId, (3) Opportunities and Tasks, (4) Custom objects last. Attempting to import People before Companies results in orphaned records with null CompanyId links. FlitStack sequences the migration exactly in this order and runs each phase independently so relationship integrity is preserved throughout.

  • Twenty's Pro plan caps custom objects at 10 — Jiva healthcare setups often exceed this

    Jiva healthcare deployments frequently use 15–30+ distinct object types (care plans, authorizations, assessments, grievances, referrals, pharmacy records, lab results). Twenty's Pro plan ($9/user/month) allows only 10 custom objects total. If your Jiva instance uses more than 10 distinct entity types, the migration plan must scope which objects to migrate and which to archive or skip, and your team must upgrade to Twenty's Organization plan ($19/user/month) to support the full data model. We surface this in the scoping report before any work begins.

  • EHR integrations and payer clearinghouse connections cannot be migrated

    Jiva integrations with Electronic Health Record systems (Epic, Cerner), pharmacy benefit managers, and payer clearinghouses use healthcare-specific authentication protocols (HL7 FHIR, proprietary APIs) that have no equivalent in Twenty CRM. These integrations must be evaluated independently — some can be rebuilt using Twenty's REST or GraphQL API if the third-party system supports standard authentication, but most healthcare data exchange integrations require a middleware layer or direct rebuild. We provide a connection inventory as part of the migration package.

Migration approach

Six steps for a successful Jiva to Twenty CRM data migration

  1. Audit Jiva's custom object schema

    FlitStack AI starts every Jiva migration by enumerating the complete source data model — every distinct object type, field name, field type, pick-list value, and inter-object relationship. This schema audit produces the definitive list of what needs to exist in Twenty before import begins: how many custom fields per object, how many custom objects total, and which objects have relationships to other objects that constrain import order. This step also identifies which Jiva records are stale (no activity in 24+ months) so they can be excluded from migration and reduce record volume.

  2. Prepare Twenty workspace and create custom fields before import

    Custom fields must exist in Twenty before any CSV import can populate them — the import creates records, not fields. FlitStack creates all required custom fields in Settings → Data Model, configures pick-list options matching Jiva's values exactly, and creates custom objects for care plans, authorizations, and assessments. Workspace Members are also invited and confirmed before this step completes so their email addresses are available for owner resolution. If the audit reveals more than 10 custom objects, we recommend upgrading to the Organization plan before proceeding.

  3. Resolve owners and users by email match

    Every Jiva record with an assigned staff member (care coordinator, case manager, provider) is matched against Twenty Workspace Members by email address. Exact email matches resolve automatically. Records with unmatched owners are flagged in a resolution report — your admin either invites the staff member to Twenty first or assigns those records to a fallback Workspace Member. No record lands in Twenty without a valid owner reference.

  4. Run sample migration with field-level diff

    A representative sample — typically 200–500 records spanning People, Companies, a Care Plan, an Authorization, and an Encounter — migrates first. FlitStack generates a field-level diff report showing every source value alongside the destination value so you can verify that Jiva's custom fields map correctly to Twenty's custom fields, that pick-list values translated as expected, and that owner resolution worked for the sample. This is the validation gate before the full run commits.

  5. Execute full migration with delta-pickup window

    The full dataset migrates in the sequenced order: Companies first, then People (with CompanyId links), then Opportunities and Tasks, then custom objects. A delta-pickup window (24–48 hours) captures any Jiva records created or modified during the cutover period so Twenty reflects Jiva's final state at go-live. FlitStack maintains a complete audit log of every record migrated, its source ID, destination ID, and timestamp. If reconciliation identifies missing records or broken relationships, one-click rollback reverts the migration and your team continues working in Jiva while we diagnose and re-run.

Most Jiva-to-Twenty migrations complete in 48–72 hours for under 50,000 records. The longest phase is the schema audit and custom field creation in Twenty — Jiva's non-standard data model requires manual enumeration of every object type before any import is possible. Larger setups with complex healthcare object hierarchies (care plans with multiple linked entities) or more than 500,000 records extend to 5–7 days. The delta-pickup window adds 24–48 hours after the initial bulk load.
