Overview

What this migration involves

Moving from Marketing 360 to Twenty CRM is a structural migration from an all-in-one marketing platform to a focused open-source CRM. Marketing 360 uses a unified Contact object with assignees, tags, statuses, types, and custom fields; Twenty separates People and Companies as distinct objects, requires custom fields to be pre-created via the metadata API, and does not include a built-in payments layer. We sequence the Marketing 360 contact export across paginated API endpoints, resolve HubSpot-style assignee references to Twenty workspace members, and import contacts with their company associations using Twenty's Person and Company objects. The UXi website export produces XML content only—layout files and root-domain media assets are not portable and require rebuild. Automation journeys are not exposed via Marketing 360's public API and must be manually rebuilt in Twenty. We deliver a written inventory of active journeys and website content for the customer's team to address post-migration.

Marketing 360

What's pushing teams away

  • Mobile app performance issues—users report slow startup times and stability problems on iOS and Android, which the vendor has acknowledged and promised to address.
  • Limited depth compared to specialized tools—power users and agencies note the platform sacrifices advanced features for breadth, making it less suitable as teams scale.
  • Infrequent check-ins from account management—some users report lack of proactive support or strategy sessions despite paying for bundled expert services.
  • Platform lock-in with UXi websites—the export tool only produces XML of content, not layout files, making it difficult to fully migrate a website to an external host without rebuilding.

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 Marketing 360 objects map to Twenty CRM

Each row shows how a Marketing 360 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.

Marketing 360

Contact

maps to

Twenty CRM

Person

1:1
Fully supported

Marketing 360 Contact records map to Twenty Person. The src fields firstName, lastName, email, phone, and contactName map to the equivalent Twenty Person fields. The Marketing 360 customerId becomes a custom identifier field for cross-system reconciliation. We run assignee and company resolution before Person insert to satisfy any lookup requirements in Twenty's schema.

Marketing 360

Contact.organizationId

maps to

Twenty CRM

Company

1:1
Fully supported

Marketing 360 Contacts with a populated organizationId link to the equivalent Marketing 360 Company record. We resolve this lookup at migration time by first extracting the full Companies list, then inserting Companies into Twenty as Company records, and finally linking each Person to the corresponding Company via the workEmail.domain match or an explicit companyLink field.

Marketing 360

Company

maps to

Twenty CRM

Company

1:1
Fully supported

Marketing 360 Company records (exposed via organizationId on Contact) map to Twenty Company. The company name, domain, address fields, phone, and any custom fields migrate as typed fields on the Twenty Company object. We create the Company records first in the migration sequence so that Person records can reference them via lookup during import.

Marketing 360

Custom Fields

maps to

Twenty CRM

Custom Fields on Person / Company

lossy
Fully supported

Marketing 360 exposes custom fields via a dedicated Custom Fields API with id-value pairs per contact. Twenty requires custom fields to be pre-created in Settings → Data Model before CSV or API import. We extract the full Marketing 360 custom field taxonomy during scoping, create matching custom fields in Twenty (with appropriate types: text, number, date, select, multi-select), and then import the values as part of the Person or Company record insert. Fields must exist before import; we handle this as a pre-import configuration step.

Marketing 360

Tag

maps to

Twenty CRM

Tag or Custom Multi-Select Field

lossy
Fully supported

Marketing 360 Contacts carry a tags array with id and tag name. We extract the full tag taxonomy and apply tag memberships to migrated Persons in Twenty. Depending on tag usage (segmentation versus classification), we either create a tags custom field on Person or use a separate Tag approach. The customer selects the strategy during scoping based on how tags drive their workflow in Twenty.

Marketing 360

Assignee

maps to

Twenty CRM

WorkspaceMember

1:1
Fully supported

Marketing 360 stores assignees as username, fullName, and email nested under Contact records. We extract the distinct assignee set and match by email against Twenty workspace members. Where no matching user exists, we hold the assignee in a reconciliation queue for the customer's admin to provision the Twenty user before record import resumes. Unresolved assignees are logged with the contact record for post-migration cleanup.

Marketing 360

Status and Type

maps to

Twenty CRM

Custom Picklist Fields on Person

lossy
Fully supported

Marketing 360 uses arbitrary name-id pairs for contact Statuses and Types. We extract the full taxonomy from the API and map these to equivalent custom picklist fields in Twenty Person. The picklist values are created in Twenty's Data Model during the pre-import schema setup, and the migrated Status and Type values are applied to the Person records during import.

Marketing 360

Website Posts and Pages (UXi export)

maps to

Twenty CRM

External CMS

1:1
Fully supported

The UXi export tool produces XML containing Posts, Pages, Testimonials, and Media. Layout files and theme assets are not included. We extract text content, categories, tags, and media URLs from the XML and deliver them as a structured export package for the customer's team to import into their chosen CMS (WordPress, Webflow, or another platform). We do not rebuild the website design or host the content ourselves.

Marketing 360

Testimonial

maps to

Twenty CRM

Note or Custom Object

1:1
Fully supported

Marketing 360 Testimonials export via the UXi XML as structured records with author name, content, and media URLs. We extract these and deliver as a CSV or JSON package that the customer's team can import into Twenty as Note records linked to the relevant Person or Company, or into a custom Testimonials object if they choose to create one.

Marketing 360

Automation Journey

maps to

Twenty CRM

Workflow (manual rebuild)

1:1
Fully supported

Marketing 360 automation and journey logic—trigger conditions, time delays, branch rules, and subscriber entry points—are stored in the platform's application layer and not exposed via the public REST API. We cannot migrate automated workflows automatically. During migration scoping we document all active journeys and provide a manual rebuild checklist mapped to equivalent workflow features in Twenty CRM. The customer's team rebuilds these post-migration.

Pair-specific challenges

  • UXi website export omits layout files and theme assets

    The UXi export tool produces XML of Posts, Pages, Testimonials, and Media content only. It explicitly does not export layout files, theme configuration, or media assets hosted on the root domain. Teams migrating away from Marketing 360 must plan to rebuild their site design on the destination CMS. We extract available text content, categories, and media URLs from the XML and deliver them as a structured export package. The rebuild scope is documented separately for the customer's web team.

  • Automation journeys are not accessible via Marketing 360 API

    Marketing 360's automation and journey logic—trigger conditions, time delays, branch rules, and subscriber entry points—are stored in the platform's application layer and not exposed via the public REST API. We cannot migrate automated workflows automatically. During migration scoping we document all active journeys and provide a manual rebuild checklist mapped to equivalent workflow features in Twenty CRM. The customer's team rebuilds these post-migration.

  • Twenty requires pre-created custom fields before import

    Twenty's CSV and API import creates records but not fields. Custom fields must exist in Settings → Data Model before any import begins. Marketing 360's custom field taxonomy must be extracted during scoping, and all destination custom fields must be created in Twenty before the data migration phase starts. We handle this as a pre-import configuration step, but the customer must allow time for schema validation in a staging environment before production cutover.

  • Marketing 360 contact export requires pagination over CRM API

    The Marketing 360 contact API returns records via paginated endpoints rather than a bulk export operation. For accounts with tens of thousands of contacts, we sequence chunked API reads in parallel workers, applying backoff to stay within any undocumented rate limits. We validate record counts against the Marketing 360 UI before loading to Twenty to catch any gaps. This sequencing step adds time to the extraction phase and must be accounted for in the migration timeline.

Migration approach

Six steps for a successful Marketing 360 to Twenty CRM data migration

  1. Discovery and data audit

    We audit the Marketing 360 account across CRM records (Contacts, Companies, custom fields, tags, assignees, statuses, types), website content (Posts, Pages, Testimonials via UXi export), active automation journeys, and email subscriber lists. We extract the full custom field taxonomy and tag taxonomy from the Marketing 360 API. The audit output is a written migration scope covering record counts per object, schema mapping, UXi content inventory, and a journey inventory requiring manual rebuild. We also confirm the target Twenty deployment method (self-hosted Docker, Railway, Render, or twenty.com SaaS) since this affects API endpoint configuration.

  2. Twenty schema setup

    We create the destination schema in Twenty. This includes creating custom fields on Person and Company via Settings → Data Model (matching the Marketing 360 custom field types and picklist values), inviting workspace members who will correspond to Marketing 360 assignees, and verifying that all users have accepted their invitations before record import begins. The Twenty workspace must be fully configured with custom fields before any data import; fields do not auto-create during import. We set up the schema in a staging Twenty instance first for validation.

  3. Pagination-based data extraction from Marketing 360

    We extract CRM data from Marketing 360 using paginated API reads across Contact, Company, and engagement endpoints. For accounts with large record volumes, we run parallel workers with backoff to stay within undocumented rate limits. We validate record counts against the Marketing 360 UI after each extraction batch. UXi content export is run separately to produce the XML package of Posts, Pages, and Testimonials. Any automation journey definitions are documented via screen recording and manual inventory during this phase.

  4. Data transformation and staging import

    We transform the extracted Marketing 360 data into Twenty-compatible format. Contact records are split into Person and Company lookups where organizationId exists. Assignees are resolved by email match against Twenty workspace members, with unresolved assignees logged to a reconciliation queue. Custom field values are mapped to the pre-created Twenty custom fields. Status and Type taxonomies are mapped to custom picklist fields. We run a staging import into Twenty to validate record counts, spot-check field mapping, and confirm that Person-Company linking works correctly before production migration begins.

  5. Production migration in dependency order

    We run production migration in record-dependency order: Companies first (from Marketing 360 organization records), then Persons (linked to Companies), then custom field values applied per record. Each phase emits a row-count reconciliation report before the next phase begins. UXi website content is delivered as a structured export package for the customer's web team to import into their chosen CMS. The automation journey inventory document is delivered at this stage for the customer's team to begin manual rebuild.

  6. Cutover, validation, and handoff

    We freeze Marketing 360 writes during cutover and run a final delta migration of any records modified during the migration window. We validate record counts across all objects, spot-check Person-Company linking, and confirm that custom field values populated correctly in Twenty. We deliver the automation journey rebuild checklist and UXi content export package with a handoff call. We support a one-week hypercare window for reconciliation issues. We do not rebuild workflows or website designs inside the migration scope; these are documented for the customer's team to address separately.

Destination

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 three and five weeks for accounts under 10,000 Contacts and 2,000 Companies with no custom objects and straightforward assignee resolution. Migrations with large contact volumes (over 50,000 records requiring pagination sequencing), complex custom field taxonomies, multiple assignee provisioning requirements, or UXi content export scope move to eight to twelve weeks because of schema pre-creation time, pagination-based extraction, and content packaging work.
