Overview
Moving from Loyalistic to Twenty CRM is a data-model reshaping migration. Loyalistic stores contacts with segmentation assignments, campaign engagement data, and survey responses as the primary CRM record; Twenty CRM uses People as the primary person record, Company for organizations, and Opportunity for pipeline. The critical difference is that Loyalistic's automation and segmentation logic must be rebuilt manually in Twenty because no rule-based logic migrates as code. We extract all contact fields, segment membership lists, campaign engagement events, and survey response records, map them to their Twenty equivalents, and load them via CSV in dependency order (Company first, then People with company lookups, then Opportunity with people lookups). Custom fields in Loyalistic require field-level sampling during discovery because the platform has limited publicly documented schema; we surface all active custom properties before finalizing the load map. Twenty's self-hosted model means the customer's team manages the Docker infrastructure—We flag Docker availability and version requirements during scoping and do not manage hosting configuration as part of the migration scope.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a Loyalistic 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.
Loyalistic
Contact
Twenty CRM
People
1:1Loyalistic Contacts map directly to Twenty People records. Standard fields (name, email, phone, website) map 1:1. We perform field-level sampling during discovery to identify all active custom properties on the Contact object and map each to a Twenty custom field created via Settings Data Model before import. The migration user must create all custom fields in Twenty before CSV import because Twenty's CSV import creates records, not fields.
Loyalistic
Customer Profiles
Twenty CRM
People + Custom Fields
1:1Loyalistic Customer Profiles aggregate contact details with enrichment data. We migrate the underlying contact fields and attach profile metadata (enrichment source, enrichment timestamp, social handles) as custom fields on the Twenty People record. The enrichment provenance is preserved as a text field noting the original source system.
Loyalistic
Company
Twenty CRM
Company
1:1Loyalistic Company records map to Twenty Company. We extract all company fields (name, domain, address, industry) and map them to the Twenty Company object. Company records must import before People records so that the company lookup on People can be resolved at insert time. We use the company domain as the dedupe key.
Loyalistic
Segments
Twenty CRM
Tags
lossyLoyalistic Segments define rule-based group membership. The segment logic itself cannot migrate because Twenty does not support rule-based dynamic segments. We export segment names and member lists and apply them as flat tags on the corresponding People records. The customer recreates segment logic as static filter views or tag groupings in Twenty's workspace. Segment rebuild is documented in the handoff inventory.
Loyalistic
Surveys
Twenty CRM
Custom Object + Note
1:manySurvey definitions (question text, type, options) and response records are distinct objects in Loyalistic. We create a Survey Response custom object in Twenty and migrate response records linked to the originating People record via lookup. Survey question branching logic requires manual reconstruction in Twenty's workspace; we document the question structure in the handoff inventory.
Loyalistic
Campaign
Twenty CRM
Task + Note
1:1Loyalistic Campaign records (title, status, timing) migrate as Twenty Task records with a campaign-type tag and campaign metadata preserved in custom fields. Engagement events (opens, clicks, sends) attach as activity records (Task subtype = activity) linked to the relevant People records. The campaign record itself does not exist as a standalone object in Twenty's standard model.
Loyalistic
Deal
Twenty CRM
Opportunity
1:1Loyalistic Deals map to Twenty Opportunity. We map dealstage to Twenty stageName, deal amount to amount, and pipeline to a Twenty Opportunity custom field that the customer configures as a picklist. Owner resolution happens by matching HubSpot owner email to Twenty user email.
Loyalistic
Custom Fields (Contact-level)
Twenty CRM
Custom Fields (People-level)
lossyLoyalistic custom fields on Contact migrate to Twenty custom fields on People. We perform field-level sampling during scoping to identify all active custom properties, their data types (text, number, date, select), and any validation patterns. Each custom field is created in Twenty Settings Data Model before migration begins. Fields must exist before the CSV import runs.
Loyalistic
Reports
Twenty CRM
Filter Views
1:1Loyalistic Report configurations (saved views, filter criteria, metric definitions) cannot migrate as interactive reports. We export the report metadata and filter criteria and document them as a list of recommended Twenty filter views and the fields to include in each. The customer rebuilds saved views from the documented specifications.
Loyalistic
Templates
Twenty CRM
External Storage + Document
1:1Loyalistic email and workflow templates (content, variable placeholders) export as text and HTML assets. We deliver them as a structured CSV with template content, subject line, and variable placeholders. The customer recreates templates in Twenty's workspace or a connected email tool. Template recreation is not included in the data migration scope.
Loyalistic
Engagement Tracking
Twenty CRM
Task (Activity)
1:1Loyalistic engagement events (opens, clicks, conversions) migrate as Twenty Task records with an engagement type tag (Email Open, Email Click, Conversion). Each activity links to the originating People record. Activity timestamps are preserved as Task due dates to maintain the engagement timeline order.
Loyalistic
Tags
Twenty CRM
Tags
1:1Loyalistic flat tags on Contacts migrate directly to Twenty tags on People. We perform a 1:1 tag name mapping and apply them during People import. No tag logic or hierarchy exists in either platform, so no transformation is required.

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.
Loyalistic gotchas
Contact-based pricing means migration sizing affects destination cost
API and integration depth not publicly documented
Channel breadth without depth requires re-platforming choices
Loyalty program records (points, rewards, tiers) require explicit migration plan
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 field sampling
We audit the Loyalistic account across all objects (Contacts, Customer Profiles, Companies, Segments, Surveys, Campaigns, Deals, Custom Fields, Reports, Templates, Tags, Engagement Tracking). Because Loyalistic has limited publicly documented schema, we perform field-level sampling: we extract a statistical sample of contact records (minimum 50, recommended 200) and catalog every field present, including any empty or null fields, to identify active versus deprecated custom properties. We also extract segment definitions, survey structures, and campaign metadata. The discovery output is a written migration scope with the complete field inventory, object dependency graph, and segment and campaign structure inventory.
Twenty workspace setup and custom field creation
Before any data is migrated, we set up the Twenty workspace. This includes creating all custom objects (Survey Response, any other Loyalistic-specific objects identified during discovery), creating all custom fields on standard objects (People, Company, Opportunity, Task) via Settings Data Model, configuring picklist options for any Loyalistic select fields, and inviting all team members who will be assigned as record owners. We validate that all custom fields exist in Twenty before proceeding to export. If the customer does not yet have Twenty installed, we provide Docker requirements and coordinate with their hosting provider.
Data export and transformation
We export data from Loyalistic in dependency order: Companies first, then Contacts with company lookups resolved, then Deals, then Segments and Tags applied to People records, then Survey Responses, then Campaign records and engagement events. Each export pass generates a CSV formatted for Twenty's CSV import specification. We apply field-level transforms (date format normalization, phone number format, select value mapping) and flag any records that fail validation. The segment membership list is flattened into tag assignments on the People CSV. Engagement events are transformed into Task records with activity type tags.
Staging migration and reconciliation
We run a full migration into a Twenty staging workspace (if available) or a sandbox environment. The customer reconciles record counts against the Loyalistic source, spot-checks 25-50 random records for field accuracy, and validates that company lookups on People records resolved correctly. Any mapping corrections (missed custom fields, incorrect select values, misnamed tags) happen in the staging phase before production migration. The customer signs off the staging results before we proceed to production.
Production migration in dependency order
We run production migration in record-dependency order: Companies (from Loyalistic Company records), People (from Loyalistic Contacts with company domain matched to Twenty Company), Opportunities (from Loyalistic Deals with People and Company lookups resolved), Tasks and Notes (campaign records and engagement events), Survey Response custom object records (linked to People), and Tags (applied during People import or as a separate tag pass). Each phase emits a row-count reconciliation report before the next phase begins. Any records rejected during import are logged, corrected, and re-imported in a catch-up pass.
Cutover, validation, and handoff documentation
We freeze Loyalistic writes during cutover, run a final delta migration of any records modified during the migration window, then enable Twenty as the system of record. We deliver the handoff inventory: segment structure and rebuild guide, survey question inventory, campaign structure and automation handoff, template content CSV, and report filter specifications. We support a one-week hypercare window where we resolve any reconciliation issues. We do not configure Docker, manage Twenty hosting, or rebuild Loyalistic workflows as Twenty automations as part of the migration scope; these are separate engagements or internal admin tasks.
