Overview

What this migration involves

Moving from Livespace CRM to Twenty CRM is a process-oriented migration driven by teams seeking open-source ownership, unlimited custom objects, and a simpler per-team pricing model. Livespace's non-linear sales process model maps to Twenty's pipeline and custom field approach with configuration work. The key technical constraint is Livespace's SHA1-signed, rotating-session API authentication — we fetch fresh tokens before each batch, detect 401 responses, re-authenticate, and retry. Custom fields must be created in Twenty's Settings → Data Model before CSV import; we handle schema discovery from Livespace's custom fields endpoint first. Email sequences and file attachments are not accessible via Livespace's public API and require manual pre-migration steps or rebuild at the destination. We do not migrate automations, workflows, or Spaces as code; we deliver a written inventory of Spaces and sequence logic for the customer to rebuild in Twenty.

Why teams make this switch

Two sides of the same decision

Leaving

Livespace CRM logo

Livespace CRM

What's pushing teams away

  • The native integration ecosystem is thin — reviewers on Capterra note that Livespace lacks some addons and integrations available in HubSpot or Salesforce, requiring workarounds via Zapier or custom API code.
  • Performance issues appear when adding large batches of clients; one Capterra reviewer reported the interface freezing during bulk client imports, though Livespace's support team resolved this post-publication.
  • As teams scale beyond 50 seats or need sub-second reporting, Livespace's feature set is described by reviewers as approaching its limits compared to enterprise CRMs, pushing growth-stage companies toward alternatives.
  • The email sequence builder has no public API — power users who automate heavily via API find this a blocking limitation when they need to replicate sequences in a destination CRM.

Choosing

Twenty CRM logo

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 Livespace CRM objects map to Twenty CRM

Each row shows how a Livespace CRM 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.

Livespace CRM

Person

maps to

Twenty CRM

People

1:1
Fully supported

Livespace Person records map directly to Twenty People. Standard fields (name, email, phone, address) map 1:1 to Twenty's name, email, phoneNumber, and address fields. Custom Person fields discovered via the Get custom fields endpoint are pre-created in Twenty Settings → Data Model before import as text, number, date, or select fields depending on type. The Livespace lifecycle stage and source attribution are mapped as custom fields on People because Twenty does not ship a native lifecycle property.

Livespace CRM

Company

maps to

Twenty CRM

Company

1:1
Fully supported

Livespace Companies map 1:1 to Twenty Companies. The domain name from Livespace's company record populates Twenty's domainName field. Company-to-Person associations (person-to-company links in Livespace) are resolved by matching the Livespace company_id on each Person record and creating the corresponding workspaceOrganizationLink in Twenty after the Company batch is committed.

Livespace CRM

Deal

maps to

Twenty CRM

Opportunity

1:1
Fully supported

Livespace Deals map to Twenty Opportunities. The deal name, value, stage, owner, expected close date, and created/modified timestamps transfer directly. Livespace's deal custom fields (pipeline-specific additional fields) are pre-created in Twenty's Opportunity object as custom fields. Deal probability can be mapped as a custom field since Twenty does not expose per-stage probability percentages by default. Closed-Lost and Closed-Won statuses map to Twenty's stage values.

Livespace CRM

Space

maps to

Twenty CRM

Pipeline (configuration)

lossy
Fully supported

Livespace Spaces define separate working environments or sales pipelines within a single account. Twenty uses a single Opportunity pipeline with stage values rather than separate Spaces. We flatten multiple Spaces into a single Twenty pipeline with stage values named to reflect the customer's process. If the customer needs Space separation at the reporting level, we document it as a grouping tag on Opportunities. Space-level deal counts are preserved in a custom field on each Opportunity.

Livespace CRM

Task

maps to

Twenty CRM

Task

1:1
Fully supported

Livespace Tasks (assignable work items linked to Deals or Persons) map to Twenty Tasks with title, body, status, dueDate, and assignee preserved. Task assignment in Twenty uses the assigneeId field which we resolve via email match against the Twenty workspace Member list. Completed versus open task states transfer as-is. Tasks linked to Deals resolve to the corresponding Opportunity record in Twenty.

Livespace CRM

User

maps to

Twenty CRM

Member

1:1
Fully supported

Livespace Users map to Twenty Members. We resolve by email address, which is the primary identifier in Twenty's invitation and member management system. Members must exist in Twenty before importing any record with an owner reference, per Twenty's documentation. Any Livespace User without a matching Member invitation goes to a reconciliation queue for the customer's admin to provision.

Livespace CRM

Team

maps to

Twenty CRM

Member (flat structure)

1:many
Fully supported

Livespace Teams group Users and can be assigned as deal owners. Twenty does not ship a native Team object with its own permissions model. We flatten team memberships into individual Member assignments and record the original team membership as a custom picklist field on each Member record. If the customer uses Teams for reporting grouping, we create a Team custom field on People and Opportunity.

Livespace CRM

Custom Fields

maps to

Twenty CRM

Custom Fields

lossy
Mapping required

Livespace custom fields on Persons, Companies, and Deals are discovered via the Get custom fields endpoint at the start of every migration run. Each custom field is pre-created in Twenty Settings → Data Model before any record import begins. Field types are mapped: Livespace text to Twenty text, date to date, picklist to select, multi-select to multi-select. Picklist values are copied verbatim. Required and hidden field flags are configured in Twenty's field settings. Date formats are normalized to ISO 8601 for Twenty's ingestion.

Livespace CRM

Contact Group

maps to

Twenty CRM

Custom Field (multi-select)

lossy
Fully supported

Livespace Contact Groups are static segment lists exposed via the Get contact group list endpoint. We export group memberships and create a custom multi-select picklist field on the People object in Twenty named segment or list membership. Each Person record receives the applicable segment values. Dynamic groups (if the customer uses Livespace's dynamic segmentation) are documented in the written handoff as a filter definition for manual rebuild in Twenty or a third-party segmentation tool.

Livespace CRM

Source

maps to

Twenty CRM

Custom Field (select)

lossy
Fully supported

Livespace Sources track where leads originated (web form, referral, event, cold outreach, etc.) and are exposed via a dedicated source list API. Twenty has no native source attribution object. We map source values as a custom select field named lead_source on the People object in Twenty, populating the value from Livespace's source field on each Person record. This preserves attribution data without schema modification at the account level.

Livespace CRM

Email Sequence

maps to

Twenty CRM

(not migratable)

1:1
Fully supported

Livespace email sequences (multi-step outbound campaigns tied to Persons or Deals) have no public API endpoint in Livespace. Sequence membership, step status, timing rules, and cadence definitions cannot be read or migrated programmatically. We document all sequences in a written summary including step count, delay between steps, subject line, and associated Person segments. The customer's admin rebuilds sequences in Twenty or a dedicated sales engagement platform post-migration.

Livespace CRM

Attachment

maps to

Twenty CRM

(not migratable)

1:1
Fully supported

Livespace stores Deal and Person attachments in its application layer but the public REST API exposes no attachment download endpoint. Files must be exported manually via the application UI or Livespace's manual export tool before migration begins. We flag this as a required pre-migration manual step in the runbook, provide the customer with a step-by-step download checklist per object, and exclude attachment records from the API-driven migration scope. Files re-uploaded post-migration to the correct Opportunities and People records are a customer-admin task.

Pair-specific challenges

  • Livespace API requires SHA1-signed rotating session tokens

    Every Livespace API request is signed with a SHA1 hash of the concatenated API Key, Auth Token, and API Secret, and both the Auth Token and Session ID expire per request. For long migration runs spanning multiple hours, session expiry mid-batch produces silent 401 auth failures. We fetch a fresh token pair before each batch, detect 401 responses, re-authenticate, and retry the failed batch. Additionally, API access itself is gated to the Automation tier ($34/user/mo) — accounts on the Base plan cannot programmatically export data, and we confirm the account plan tier during scoping before committing to a migration timeline.

  • Livespace Spaces must be flattened into a single Twenty pipeline

    Livespace Spaces define separate working environments or sales pipelines. Twenty does not support multiple independent Spaces per workspace. We flatten multiple Spaces into a single Twenty pipeline with stage names that reflect the customer's combined process. Space-level deal counts are preserved as a custom field on each Opportunity. If the customer requires pipeline separation for reporting or team segmentation, we create a Space custom field and document it as a grouping mechanism in the written handoff.

  • Custom fields must be pre-created in Twenty before CSV import

    Twenty's CSV import creates records but not fields — fields must exist in Settings → Data Model before import. We handle this by calling Livespace's Get custom fields endpoint at the start of every migration run to discover the full custom-field schema (field name, type, picklist values, required flag, visibility). We then pre-create every custom field in Twenty's Data Model before writing any Person, Company, or Deal record. Date formats and timezone normalization are handled during the transform step to match Twenty's ISO 8601 expectation.

  • Email sequences have no API and cannot be migrated programmatically

    Livespace's email sequence builder exposes no public API for sequence definitions, membership, step status, or timing rules. Sequence data is inaccessible to migration tooling. We document all existing sequences in a written inventory covering step count, step type (email, task, delay), subject line patterns, and associated Person segments. The customer's admin rebuilds the sequences in Twenty manually or via a sales engagement tool integrated with Twenty. This is not data loss — it is a limitation of the source platform's API design.

  • Attachment files require a separate manual export step before migration

    Livespace stores file attachments in its application layer with no public API download endpoint. Any files attached to Deals or Persons must be downloaded manually via the application UI or Livespace's bulk export tool before migration begins. We include a file-download runbook in the pre-migration checklist that specifies which object types have attachments, how to access the export function, and the expected file naming convention for re-attachment after the cutover. Attachment re-upload to Twenty's object store is a post-migration admin step.

Migration approach

Six steps for a successful Livespace CRM to Twenty CRM data migration

  1. Discovery and Livespace plan verification

    We audit the source Livespace account across plan tier (Base/Automation/Growth/Professional+), custom field schema via the Get custom fields endpoint, pipeline count and Space count, active users, deal volume per Space, task volume, and contact group list. We verify that API access is available (Automation tier or above) and identify any accounts on Base plan that require manual export tooling. We also identify any file attachment scope during this phase to confirm whether the customer will handle the manual download runbook or request FlitStack AI's assistance.

  2. Twenty workspace provisioning and schema pre-creation

    We provision a Twenty workspace (self-hosted or cloud) and pre-create all custom fields, custom objects, and stage values in Settings → Data Model before any record import begins. This includes the lead_source select field on People, the segment multi-select field for contact group memberships, the team_name picklist on Members for flattened team memberships, and any Spaces-derived custom fields on Opportunities. We invite all team members as Members during this step so that owner resolution is possible before record import. Custom field creation is validated in a test import pass before the production migration run.

  3. Data extraction and transform with session management

    We extract data from Livespace using its REST API with SHA1-signed, per-batch authentication. Each batch fetches a fresh Auth Token and Session ID before the request. We pull Persons, Companies, Deals, Tasks, Users, Teams, Contact Groups, and Source values in dependency order: Companies first (no dependencies), then Persons (with company_id lookups resolved), then Deals (with space_id and owner_id resolved), then Tasks (with parent Opportunity and assignee resolved). We transform Livespace field names and types to match Twenty's schema, normalize date formats to ISO 8601, and apply any picklist value mapping.

  4. Sandbox migration and reconciliation

    We run a full migration into a staging environment using representative data volume. The customer's RevOps lead spot-checks 20-40 records across each object type against the Livespace source for field accuracy, correct Person-Company associations, Deal stage mapping, and task assignment. Record counts per object type are reconciled against Livespace's list endpoints. Mapping corrections are captured and applied before the production run begins. Any Livespace records with missing required fields in Twenty are logged to an exception report for the customer's admin to address.

  5. Production migration in dependency order

    We run the production migration in record-dependency order: Companies (foundational), then Members (manual provisioning confirmed), then People (with company lookups resolved), then Opportunities (with Pipeline, stage, owner, and company resolved), then Tasks (with assignee and Opportunity lookups resolved), then Contact Group memberships and Source values as field updates on People. Each phase emits a row-count reconciliation report before the next phase begins. The migration runbook includes a freeze window during which no new records are created in Livespace to avoid a delta reconciliation pass.

  6. Cutover, validation, and written handoff

    We freeze Livespace writes during cutover, run a final delta migration of any records modified during the migration window, then mark Twenty as the system of record. We validate 10-15 spot records in Twenty against the source and confirm Person-Company links, Deal stage, and task assignment. We deliver the written inventory of Spaces (as pipeline/stage notes), email sequences (as step-by-step rebuild documentation), contact group logic, and the manual attachment re-upload checklist. We support a 5-business-day hypercare window for reconciliation issues. Automation rebuild in Twenty is a separate engagement scope.

Platform deep dives

Context on both ends of the pair

Livespace CRM

Source

Strengths

  • Flat per-seat pricing with no hidden implementation fees across all tiers.
  • Non-linear sales process model accommodates multi-stakeholder B2B deals without forcing funnel conformity.
  • Built-in duplicate detection on Automation tier reduces data-cleanup overhead during onboarding.
  • Clean, intuitive UI that reviewers describe as easy to adapt to within days.
  • Dedicated implementation consultant and basic data import included in paid plans.

Weaknesses

  • API access is gated behind the Automation tier — teams on the Base plan cannot programmatically export their data.
  • No public API for email sequences, meaning automation-heavy workflows must be manually rebuilt at the destination.
  • Limited native integrations relative to major CRMs; heavy reliance on Zapier/Make for third-party connectivity.
  • Attachment storage is not accessible via the public REST API, requiring manual download before migration.
  • Security features and advanced permission controls are limited compared to enterprise-grade CRMs.

Strengths

  • AGPL-3.0 open-source license with full source code on GitHub — no vendor lock-in, no sunset risk.
  • Unlimited users and unlimited custom objects on self-hosted, with no feature gating based on headcount.
  • REST and GraphQL APIs available on all paid tiers, not locked behind an enterprise add-on fee.
  • MCP server and webhooks shipped as standard features, not premium upgrades.
  • Modern PostgreSQL-backed data model that developer teams can query, extend, and self-host.

Weaknesses

  • Recent v1.0 release means limited production hardening compared to CRMs with multi-year operational track records.
  • No native email sequencing or sales engagement tools — follow-up cadences require a separate platform.
  • No native two-way email sync or inbox integration, requiring third-party connectors for full activity logging.
  • Self-hosting 'free' pricing hides real infrastructure and DevOps costs that stack up over time.
  • Workflow automation is functional but lacks the complexity needed for sophisticated multi-step sales motions.

Most migrations land between two and four weeks for accounts with fewer than 5,000 Persons, 2,000 Deals, one Space, and under 15 custom fields. Migrations with multiple Spaces, 15+ custom fields, large task histories, or Base-plan accounts that require manual export tooling move to four to eight weeks because of schema pre-creation, the manual attachment export coordination, and delta reconciliation passes. The main schedule risk is customer responsiveness during the Member provisioning and custom field approval steps.
