Overview
Market Maker CRMs typically store data in a contact-primary model with separate account and deal objects, while Twenty CRM uses a company-primary data model where People and Opportunities both link to Companies as the central entity. This structural inversion is the most significant migration decision point — contacts without a primary company in Market Maker must receive a default company record or be imported as standalone People records in Twenty. FlitStack AI extracts all standard CRM objects (contacts, accounts/companies, deals/opportunities, activities, tasks, notes) via Market Maker's export API or CSV export, then maps each to Twenty's REST API using the import-order constraint: Companies first, then People linked by companyId, then Opportunities linked to both. Custom fields require pre-creation in Twenty's Settings → Data Model before import runs — we deliver a schema setup plan identifying every custom field that needs to exist in Twenty before data lands. Workflows, sequences, and automation logic do not migrate; we export workflow definitions as rebuild references for your admin. Activity history (calls, emails, meetings) migrates as Tasks and Notes with original timestamps and owner assignments preserved. Owner resolution uses email matching against Twenty workspace members — unmatched owners are flagged before migration commits.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a Market Maker 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.
Market Maker
Contact / Person
Twenty CRM
People
1:1Market Maker contact records map directly to Twenty's People object. All standard contact properties (name, email, phone, job title) transfer as direct field mappings. People records must be imported after Companies because the companyId relation requires the target company record to exist first.
Market Maker
Contact (primary company)
Twenty CRM
People (companyId relation)
1:1Market Maker stores the primary company as a property on the contact record. During migration, we extract this value and write it as a companyId lookup field on the Twenty People record. Contacts without a primary company receive a placeholder company record or import as standalone People without a companyId.
Market Maker
Account / Organization
Twenty CRM
Company
1:1Market Maker account records map directly to Twenty's Companies object. All core company attributes including company name, domain/website URL, industry classification, employee headcount, and annual revenue figures transfer via direct field mapping. Companies must be imported first in the migration sequence because both People and Opportunities objects reference them through lookup fields. The import order constraint is enforced by Twenty's referential integrity requirements.
Market Maker
Account (parent organization)
Twenty CRM
Company (parentId relation)
1:1Market Maker parent-child account hierarchies map to Twenty's parentId field on Company records, preserving the organizational hierarchy during migration. Parent companies must be imported before child companies to correctly resolve the foreign key relationship. Our migration process includes circular reference detection that flags any orphaned parent links or recursive hierarchy loops before the migration commits, preventing data integrity issues in Twenty's company structure.
Market Maker
Deal / Opportunity
Twenty CRM
Opportunity
1:1Market Maker deal records migrate to Twenty's Opportunities object. Deal name, amount, expected close date, and stage/status fields map directly. Opportunities must be imported after Companies and People because they link to both via companyId and personId (or contactId) lookups.
Market Maker
Deal Stage / Pipeline
Twenty CRM
Opportunity (stage field)
1:1Market Maker pipeline stages map to Twenty's stage select field. Each stage name from Market Maker requires explicit mapping to a corresponding Twenty stage option. If Market Maker has more stages than Twenty's default set, we create custom stage options in Twenty's data model before migration runs.
Market Maker
Activity (Call, Email, Meeting)
Twenty CRM
Task
1:1Market Maker activity records (logged calls, emails, meetings) migrate as Twenty Tasks. Each Task preserves its original completion date, description/body text, and owner assignment via the assigneeId relation. Task type is set based on the source activity type (call, email, meeting) for filtering in Twenty's UI.
Market Maker
Note / Free-text Entry
Twenty CRM
Note
1:1Market Maker notes transfer as Twenty Notes attached to the relevant People, Company, or Opportunity record via the noteableId and noteableType fields. Rich-text formatting is preserved where Market Maker's export format supports it. Notes without a parent record attach to the most relevant entity based on context fields in the source export.
Market Maker
User / Owner
Twenty CRM
WorkspaceMember
1:1Market Maker owner/user references resolve by email match against Twenty Workspace Members. Unmatched owners are flagged before migration — your team either invites them to Twenty first or assigns their records to a fallback member. No record lands without a valid assigneeId in Twenty.
Market Maker
Custom Object (Enterprise)
Twenty CRM
Custom Object
1:1Market Maker custom objects (if present in your plan) map 1:1 to Twenty custom objects. Custom object associations that use N:N relationships in Market Maker require junction objects in Twenty — we document these in the pre-migration schema plan and create the necessary relation fields before import.
Market Maker
Attachment / File
Twenty CRM
Attachment (via URL or re-upload)
1:1File attachments linked in Market Maker records migrate as attachment URLs stored in a custom text field on the relevant Twenty record, or are re-uploaded to Twenty's file storage. Large files may require post-migration manual verification. We document every attachment reference in the migration plan for your team to confirm after cutover.
Market Maker
Workflow / Sequence / Automation
Twenty CRM
Not Migrated
1:1Market Maker workflows, sequences, and automation rules do not transfer to Twenty. These are platform-native constructs that require manual rebuild in Twenty's workflow builder or via external automation tools. We export your workflow definitions as a structured reference document to guide your admin through the rebuild.

Migration approach
Audit Market Maker data export and map to Twenty schema
FlitStack pulls a full data export from Market Maker covering People, Companies, Opportunities, Tasks, Notes, and any custom objects. We audit record counts, identify custom fields in use, and document relationship patterns (contact-to-company associations, deal-to-contact links). We then produce a schema mapping document showing every source field, its Twenty destination, and the transformation type (direct, value-mapping, custom-field-required). This document is the source of truth for the migration plan and the field-level diff we run in Step 3.
Create Twenty custom fields and configure workspace members
Before any data imports, your admin (or our team) creates all custom fields identified in the schema mapping within Twenty's Settings → Data Model. This includes select option values, relation fields, currency configurations, and any custom pick-lists. Simultaneously, all Market Maker users who own records must be invited to Twenty as Workspace Members so owner/assignee resolution works during import. We provide a checklist of required custom fields with exact type configurations and a member invitation list with email addresses from Market Maker's owner records.
Run sample migration with field-level diff
A representative slice of records — typically 100–500 spanning companies, people, opportunities, and activities — migrates first using Twenty's CSV import or REST API. We generate a field-level diff comparing source values against destination values so you can verify custom field mapping, stage name translation, owner resolution, and relationship integrity. This sample validates the import order (Companies → People → Opportunities), confirms custom field data populates correctly, and catches any pick-list value mismatches before the full run commits.
Execute full migration with delta-pickup window
Once the sample diff is approved, FlitStack runs the full migration against Twenty's REST/GraphQL API in the validated import sequence. A delta-pickup window of 24–48 hours captures any records created or modified in Market Maker during the cutover period while your team continues working. All operations are logged to an audit trail. If reconciliation identifies missing records or incorrect field values, one-click rollback reverts the migration so corrections can be applied before a second attempt.
Deliver workflow rebuild reference and post-migration verification
After the full migration completes, FlitStack delivers an export of your Market Maker workflow and sequence definitions as structured JSON and markdown documentation. Your admin uses this to rebuild automations in Twenty's workflow builder. We also deliver a post-migration verification report showing record counts by object, owner assignment rates, and any records that landed without expected relationship links. Custom field completeness and activity history preservation are spot-checked against a random sample of records.
