Overview
Mobile Worker platforms are purpose-built for field-service operations, tracking workers, assignments, locations, and time punches against a job schema. Twenty CRM is a modern open-source CRM that structures data around People, Companies, Opportunities, Tasks, and custom objects. The migration carries everything Mobile Worker stores natively — worker profiles, client companies, work orders, service tasks, time entries, and custom fields — into Twenty's relational object model. The core challenge is mapping Mobile Worker's job-assignment and dispatch model into Twenty's opportunity-pipeline architecture, preserving field-specific attributes like certification badges and service-area tags in Twenty's custom fields, and translating the worker-employee relationship into Twenty's People object with company associations. We handle the data via Twenty's REST and GraphQL APIs plus CSV import for bulk record creation, with a delta-pickup window capturing any updates made during cutover. Workflows, dispatch rules, and scheduling automations must be rebuilt in Twenty's workflow builder — we export your existing automation definitions as a reference.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a Mobile Worker 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.
Mobile Worker
Worker
Twenty CRM
People
1:1Mobile Worker worker records map directly to Twenty CRM People. The worker's name, email, phone, and job title become the People record's standard fields. Worker status (active/inactive) migrates as a custom select field since Twenty lacks a native worker-status concept. Original hire date migrates as a custom datetime field for continuity.
Mobile Worker
Worker.employer_id
Twenty CRM
People.companyId
1:1Mobile Worker's employer/agency field maps to a People.companyId lookup. If the Mobile Worker deployment stores an agency name as free text, we create a Company record in Twenty first and then link the People record. Multi-employer assignments require a custom relation field in Twenty since the standard schema supports one company per contact.
Mobile Worker
Client / Account
Twenty CRM
Company
1:1Mobile Worker client or account records map to Twenty CRM Companies. Company name, address, and industry pick-list values map directly. Client contact names stored on the Mobile Worker client record become People records with a companyId linking back to the Twenty Company.
Mobile Worker
Work Order
Twenty CRM
Opportunity
1:1Mobile Worker work orders map to Twenty CRM Opportunities. Work order name becomes Opportunity name; work order value or estimated cost maps to Opportunity amount. The work order's current stage (Dispatched, In Progress, Completed) maps to a Twenty Opportunity stage pick-list — we create stages matching the source terminology. Service category on the work order becomes a custom select field.
Mobile Worker
Work Order Stage
Twenty CRM
Opportunity.stage
1:1Each Mobile Worker stage value (e.g., 'Assigned', 'En Route', 'On Site', 'Completed', 'Invoiced') maps to a corresponding Twenty Opportunity stage. Probability weights and forecast categories are re-applied on the Twenty side based on your input. Stage-entry timestamps are preserved as custom datetime fields on the Opportunity record.
Mobile Worker
Task / Assignment
Twenty CRM
Task
1:1Mobile Worker tasks and job assignments map to Twenty CRM Tasks. Task title, description, due date, and assignee all translate directly. Completed-at timestamps migrate as a custom datetime field since Twenty's native Task model tracks completion as a boolean. Task status (pending, completed) maps to the Task's status field.
Mobile Worker
Time Entry / Punch
Twenty CRM
Task + Custom Fields
1:1Mobile Worker time punches log hours against work orders. We map each time entry to a Task record with custom fields for clock-in time, clock-out time, total hours, and the linked work order. Overtime flags from the source migrate as a custom select. Multiple punches on the same day aggregate into a single Task record per work order per day.
Mobile Worker
Certification Badge
Twenty CRM
Custom Field on People
1:1Mobile Worker platforms often store certification badges, license numbers, and skill tags on worker profiles. Twenty has no native equivalent — we create a custom multi-select field (Worker_Certifications__c) on People. Each unique certification from the source becomes a pick-list value so reporting by certification is possible in Twenty.
Mobile Worker
Location / Geo Tag
Twenty CRM
Custom Field on Company
1:1Mobile Worker stores service-area tags, coverage zones, or GPS coordinates for workers and clients. These migrate to custom fields on the People (for worker service radius) and Company (for client location) records. If the source stores latitude/longitude, we store as separate custom number fields in Twenty.
Mobile Worker
Attachment / Photo
Twenty CRM
Note
1:1Photos and documents attached to work orders in Mobile Worker re-upload as Twenty Notes attached to the corresponding Opportunity record. File size limits from Twenty's storage backend apply. Inline images in notes are downloaded and re-hosted in Twenty's storage. We preserve the original filename and upload timestamp.
Mobile Worker
Custom Object (field-specific)
Twenty CRM
Custom Object
1:1If the Mobile Worker deployment uses custom objects (e.g., Equipment, Vehicle, SafetyCheck), these map 1:1 to Twenty CRM custom objects. Custom object names are preserved as-is. Custom object relationships that use N:N associations in Mobile Worker require junction objects in Twenty — we surface this in the migration plan and advise on the appropriate relation type.

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.
Mobile Worker gotchas
Offline mobile app data is not API-accessible
Custom form schemas vary by Work Order type
Billing integration tokens may expire mid-migration
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
Audit Mobile Worker data inventory and Twenty workspace readiness
We run a scoped read export against the Mobile Worker instance to inventory all objects, record counts, custom fields, and stage values. Simultaneously, we assess the Twenty workspace — creating the custom fields (Worker_Certifications__c, Service_Category__c, Clock_In__c, etc.) and opportunity stages needed for the migration before any records land. We deliver a pre-flight checklist confirming field parity and blocking the migration if Twenty's schema is not ready.
Map worker and company relationships with owner resolution
Workers map to People records; clients map to Companies. We resolve Mobile Worker owner or employer fields by email match against Twenty Workspace Members. Any worker or client whose email does not match an existing Twenty user is flagged — your team either creates the user in Twenty first or assigns those records to a fallback owner. Company records must exist before People records that link to them, so we sequence the migration: Companies first, then People, then Opportunities.
Migrate work orders to Opportunities with stage value mapping
Work orders migrate as Twenty Opportunities using the stage-value map created in step 1. We preserve original work order IDs, service category, assigned worker (via assigneeId), and close date. For each Opportunity we also link the corresponding Company (client) and People (worker-assignee) records created in the prior step. If a work order references a worker not yet migrated, we hold it in a staging queue and process it after the People records are confirmed.
Run a sample migration with field-level diff before full run
A representative slice of 200–500 records — spanning workers, companies, work orders, and time entries — migrates first. We generate a field-level diff between the Mobile Worker source values and the Twenty destination fields so you can verify certification badge mapping, stage mapping, and owner resolution before the full run commits. Sample validation typically takes one to two days and catches mapping errors before they affect the entire dataset.
Execute full migration with delta-pickup window for in-flight records
The full dataset migrates against Twenty using the API and CSV hybrid approach, with API writes paced to respect the rate limit. A delta-pickup window (typically 24–48 hours) captures any records created or modified in Mobile Worker during the cutover period. Audit logs record every operation, and a one-click rollback reverts the Twenty workspace to the pre-migration state if reconciliation fails. After rollback validation, the delta records are re-imported and a final count reconciliation confirms record parity with the source.
