Overview
MobileAction is an App Store and Google Play analytics platform that stores tracked apps, keyword ranking histories, competitor benchmarks, Apple Search Ads campaigns, and Custom Product Page metadata. Twenty CRM is a self-hosted open-source CRM with Company, People, Opportunity, Task, and Custom Object primitives. There is no native object-level correspondence between MobileAction data types and standard Twenty CRM objects, so we design a custom object schema in Twenty to receive each ASO data category before migration. We export tracked app and campaign data via the MobileAction Dashboard API with cursor-based pagination, resolve App Store publisher contacts to Twenty CRM People and Company records, preserve the complete keyword ranking history as dated rows, re-host or reference-copy ad creative URLs before account cancellation, and deliver a written automation inventory noting that Workflows, Sequences, and automated bid rules do not migrate as code.
Every standard and custom field arrives verified.
AI proposes the map; you confirm before any record moves.
Parent–child, lookups, and ownership stay linked.
Calls, emails, meetings — with original timestamps.
Documents, uploads, and inline notes move with the record.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a MobileAction 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.
MobileAction
Tracked Apps
Twenty CRM
Company
1:1MobileAction tracked apps map to Twenty CRM Company records, with the app store (App Store or Google Play), app bundle ID, and visibility score stored as custom fields on the Company. The app publisher's organization name becomes the Company name, and we preserve the app icon URL and current visibility score as reference fields. This establishes the parent record for all ASO data related to each app title.
MobileAction
Tracked Apps (Publisher Contacts)
Twenty CRM
People
1:1Publisher and developer contacts associated with tracked apps in MobileAction map to Twenty CRM People records. We extract contact names, roles, and email addresses from MobileAction campaign and CPP association data where available, and link each Person to the corresponding Company record. People records without a resolvable Company link are stored with a NULL Company reference and flagged for manual review during cutover.
MobileAction
Keywords
Twenty CRM
Custom Object: Keyword
1:1MobileAction keyword tracking data (keyword text, search volume estimates, difficulty scores, associated countries) maps to a Keyword custom object in Twenty CRM. We create the custom object with fields for keyword text, estimated monthly volume, difficulty index, and a Country multi-select. The Keyword object links to the Company record for the tracked app via a lookup relationship, making it possible to query keyword performance by app.
MobileAction
Keyword Ranking History
Twenty CRM
Custom Object: Keyword Ranking
1:1Daily and weekly keyword ranking snapshots export as dated rows from MobileAction and map to a Keyword Ranking custom object in Twenty CRM with fields for ranking date, position, previous position, delta, and the associated Keyword lookup. This is the highest-volume dataset in a typical MobileAction export. We chunk exports into monthly batches, ordered by date, and insert in date-sequence to preserve chronological ordering in Twenty CRM.
MobileAction
Competitor Benchmarks
Twenty CRM
Custom Object: Competitor
1:1Each user-curated competitor app in MobileAction maps to a Competitor custom object in Twenty CRM. We preserve the competitor app name, bundle ID, store, visibility score, and the user-defined competitor group name as a text field. The Competitor object links back to the owning tracked app Company record. Note that MobileAction competitor sets are user-defined rather than universal, so the competitive framing is preserved but coverage depends entirely on the customer's original MobileAction configuration.
MobileAction
Apple Search Ads Campaigns
Twenty CRM
Opportunity
1:1Apple Search Ads campaign structures from MobileAction map to Twenty CRM Opportunity records. The campaign name becomes the Opportunity name, and we store campaign status, budget, and goal type as custom fields on the Opportunity. Ad group structures export as child records linked via a Custom Object (Ad Group) with a lookup to the parent Opportunity. This mapping treats campaigns as sales pipeline proxies for ad spend tracking rather than native Apple Ads integrations.
MobileAction
Custom Product Pages
Twenty CRM
Custom Object: Custom Product Page
1:1CPP metadata from MobileAction (page ID, associated keywords, screenshot references, promotional text, video URLs) maps to a Custom Product Page custom object in Twenty CRM. Each CPP record links to the parent Company (the app it belongs to) and preserves the page association keywords. We store the CPP ID from MobileAction as a reference field to maintain traceability back to the source.
MobileAction
Ad Creatives
Twenty CRM
Custom Object: Ad Creative
1:1Ad creative asset references (screenshots, video URLs, impression share data) from MobileAction export as Ad Creative custom objects in Twenty CRM linked to the parent Opportunity (campaign). The creative asset URLs point to MobileAction infrastructure and are flagged for re-hosting or reference-copy before account cancellation. We export the URL, creative type, and any performance signals stored in MobileAction, and set a re-host flag on each record.
MobileAction
App Intelligence Metrics
Twenty CRM
Custom Object: App Intelligence
1:1Estimated downloads, revenue projections, and market share estimates from MobileAction (which are third-party modeled figures, not first-party App Store data) export to an App Intelligence custom object in Twenty CRM. We tag every numeric field with an estimation-source field so downstream analysts can apply confidence weighting. These values do not reconcile to App Store Connect or Play Console figures because they are modeled approximations.
MobileAction
Automation Rules (SearchAds.com)
Twenty CRM
Custom Object: Automation Rule Inventory
lossyAutomated bid and budget rules from MobileAction SearchAds.com modules are not migrated as executable code. We export the rule conditions, goal categories, and action definitions as records in a Configuration custom object and deliver a written inventory document mapping each rule to a recommended Twenty CRM workflow rebuild (using Tasks and Notes as a lightweight replacement). The customer or a Twenty implementation partner rebuilds the automation logic in Twenty after migration.

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.
MobileAction gotchas
Plan tier gates access to key API endpoints and data volumes
Keyword volume and revenue estimates are modeled approximations
Ad creative asset URLs may not persist after account cancellation
No bulk export endpoint — API is paginated per object
Competitor sets are user-curated and not universally exported
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 MobileAction plan verification
We audit the customer's MobileAction account to catalog all tracked apps, keyword volumes, competitor sets, campaign structures, CPP metadata, and historical ranking depth. We verify the current plan tier to identify which API endpoints and data volumes are accessible for export. We produce a written data inventory listing every object, approximate row count, and a plan-tier flag for any objects that may require a temporary upgrade to access fully. This inventory drives the custom object schema design for Twenty CRM.
Twenty CRM workspace provisioning and custom object schema design
We provision a Twenty CRM workspace (self-hosted or cloud) and design the custom object schema to receive each MobileAction data category. We create Keyword, Keyword Ranking, Competitor, Custom Product Page, Ad Creative, App Intelligence, and Automation Rule Inventory custom objects with all required fields, data types, and lookup relationships before any data is extracted from MobileAction. We also confirm that standard fields (Company, People, Opportunity) are configured with any additional custom fields needed to capture campaign and contact metadata. The schema is deployed and validated in a staging workspace before production.
Creative asset extraction and re-hosting
We extract all creative asset URLs (screenshot references, video URLs, CPP screenshots) from MobileAction and re-host or reference-copy them before the account is cancelled. We store the re-hosted URLs in a staging location and map them into the Ad Creative and Custom Product Page custom objects during migration. If re-hosting is not feasible (for example, if assets are served as authenticated MobileAction URLs), we preserve the URL references with a re-host flag and document the list for the customer to address manually post-migration.
API extraction with cursor-based pagination
We extract all MobileAction data via the Dashboard API using cursor-based pagination loops that respect rate floors and avoid throttling. Keywords, ranking history rows, competitor benchmarks, and campaign structures are extracted in staged batches, ordered by date for ranking history and by object ID for transactional records. We track the last cursor position for each object type to enable delta re-runs if the migration is interrupted. Plan-tier volume limits are enforced per export job and documented in the extraction report.
Data transformation and custom object population
We transform extracted MobileAction data into the target schema. App and publisher contacts populate Company and People records in Twenty CRM with deduplication on bundle ID and email respectively. Keywords and ranking history populate the Keyword and Keyword Ranking custom objects with lookup resolution back to the owning Company. Competitor benchmarks, CPP metadata, and ad creative references populate their respective custom objects. All third-party modeled volume estimates are tagged with an estimation-source field. Owner reconciliation resolves MobileAction user references to Twenty CRM workspace members where possible.
Staging migration and customer validation
We run a full migration into a staging Twenty CRM instance with production data volumes. The customer validates record counts (Companies, People, Opportunities, Keyword rows, Ranking rows), spot-checks ten to twenty records per object against the MobileAction source, and reviews the custom object schema design before approving production migration. Any mapping corrections, field additions, or data quality issues are resolved in staging. The customer signs off the staging validation report before we proceed to production.
Production cutover and automation rebuild handoff
We run the production migration in dependency order: Companies first, then People (with Company lookup resolved), Opportunities, then custom objects. We freeze MobileAction writes during cutover, run a delta migration of any records modified during the window, and enable Twenty CRM as the system of record. We deliver the automation rule inventory document to the customer. We offer a one-week post-cutover support window to resolve reconciliation issues. We do not rebuild MobileAction automations, sequences, or bid rules inside Twenty CRM; that work is documented for the customer's admin or a Twenty implementation partner.
