Overview
Moving from Netmera to Twenty CRM is a structural migration from an engagement and CDP platform to a focused CRM. Netmera organizes data around Users, Segments, Campaigns, and Journeys for mobile-first customer engagement; Twenty CRM uses Persons, Companies, Opportunities, Tasks, and Comments for relationship management. We extract Netmera user profiles via segment-based export (the platform's primary data retrieval method), map profile attributes to Twenty custom fields on Person and Company, and preserve tag memberships. Netmera's behavioral events, campaign content, journey flows, and widget assets do not have direct Twenty CRM equivalents and are documented for rebuild or replacement. Push notification delivery tokens are device-bound and non-transferable, requiring a re-opt-in campaign or silent token refresh plan post-migration. Twenty CRM's self-hosted model and GitHub-first update process mean the customer owns their infrastructure; we validate the target version at migration time and flag any breaking schema changes between versions.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a Netmera 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.
Netmera
User (End User)
Twenty CRM
Person
1:1Netmera User profiles map to Twenty CRM Person records. The mapping preserves email, name fields, phone, and any standard profile attributes. Netmera does not expose a raw bulk-user export endpoint—data retrieval requires creating a Segment in the UI with audience rules that capture the target population. We work with the customer to define precise segment rules during scoping, freeze those rules to prevent dynamic updates, run a test export, and validate coverage before committing to the full extraction. Any Users not covered by the frozen segment rules are flagged for a supplemental extraction pass.
Netmera
Profile Attributes
Twenty CRM
Custom Fields on Person
1:1Netmera custom profile attributes store user-level data beyond defaults (string, number, boolean, date types). We migrate attribute names and values as custom fields on the Twenty Person object. The field type mapping follows: Netmera string/number/boolean map to Twenty text/number/checkbox equivalents. Multi-value attributes require flattening into comma-separated text or a custom object depending on use case. Netmera's attribute schema is extracted from the platform UI during discovery.
Netmera
Segment
Twenty CRM
Tag (on Person)
lossyNetmera Segments define audience rules and serve as both targeting units and export sources. Twenty CRM does not have a dynamic segmentation engine; instead, we map segment membership to Tags on the Person record. We extract the segment rules during scoping, apply those rules to the frozen user export to determine membership, and create Tag records on the corresponding Person entries. The customer decides during scoping whether to import all segments as tags or consolidate to a priority subset. Dynamic segments that auto-update produce different membership at export time versus scoping time, which is why we freeze segment rules before extraction.
Netmera
Tag
Twenty CRM
Tag (on Person)
1:1Netmera Tags used for labeling users and organizing data map directly to Twenty CRM Tags. Tag names migrate verbatim. Tag-to-user associations migrate as Tag records linked to the corresponding Person. Note that Netmera's tagless data capture feature means some user data may arrive without any tag, and we preserve those records without tags in Twenty.
Netmera
Device Information
Twenty CRM
Custom Fields on Person (non-transferable subset)
lossyNetmera Device records bind users to physical devices for push delivery, including push token, OS, and app version. We export the OS type and app version as custom fields on the Person record. Push notification delivery tokens stored in Netmera are tied to APNs and FCM credentials configured within Netmera and are non-transferable to Twenty CRM. We flag this upfront and recommend planning for a re-opt-in campaign or silent token refresh for active app users post-migration. Without this step, migrated users will not receive push notifications in any new engagement setup.
Netmera
Campaign (Push, In-App, SMS, Email)
Twenty CRM
Note or Comment
1:1Netmera Campaign records include name, content, scheduling, and performance metrics. Twenty CRM has no campaign or multi-channel messaging object. We extract campaign metadata (name, channel type, send date, recipient count, open rate, click rate) as structured records in a temporary migration staging object or as formatted Notes attached to the related Person. The customer uses this metadata as a reference for rebuilding campaigns in a dedicated engagement platform. We do not migrate campaign creative (images, videos, rich text content) unless the customer explicitly requests a separate content migration scope.
Netmera
Journey
Twenty CRM
Note (Journey Reference)
1:1Netmera Journey Orchestration flows define multi-step user-entry rules and channel steps with conversion event definitions. Twenty CRM has no journey or orchestration object. We extract journey metadata (name, entry trigger, step sequence, channel per step, conversion event) as structured Notes attached to the Person records that entered the journey, preserving the journey name and step count. Note that Netmera's Journey Analytics counts one conversion per user per journey, which may differ from funnel counting in the destination reporting tool; we document this discrepancy in the migration mapping.
Netmera
Event (Behavioral)
Twenty CRM
Comment or Custom Object
lossyNetmera captures SDK-tracked behavioral events (page views, custom actions, trigger events). Event schemas vary by implementation. We extract event names and timestamps as Comment records attached to the Person record for high-value events (purchase, upgrade, key conversion actions). Routine behavioral events with high volume (page views, app opens) are typically excluded from CRM migration scope and documented in the event schema inventory. The customer decides during scoping which event types to preserve in Twenty versus which to route to an analytics platform.
Netmera
Survey and Feedback
Twenty CRM
Comment or Custom Object
1:1Netmera Survey and Feedback tools collect structured responses linked to users. We export survey questions and response records as Comment records or a custom object (SurveyResponse) in Twenty CRM, linked to the corresponding Person. Survey display logic and trigger conditions are platform-configured and do not migrate; we document them in the rebuild inventory for the customer to implement in their chosen survey tool post-migration.
Netmera
Widget
Twenty CRM
Note (Widget Reference)
1:1Netmera Widgets are visual engagement assets (tooltips, pop-ups, in-app messages) with file constraints of 1MB images and 12MB video. Twenty CRM has no widget or in-app message object. We export widget metadata (name, type, trigger condition, text content) as Notes. Visual assets require re-creation in the destination platform's design system. Netmera's file size limits (1MB images, 12MB video) apply during any asset extraction; we flag oversized assets for re-encoding before the customer imports them into any new engagement tool.
Netmera
Page (Web/App)
Twenty CRM
Note (Page Reference)
1:1Netmera Pages and funnel configurations define content surfaces and conversion funnels. Twenty CRM has no page or funnel object. We export page names and funnel step definitions as Notes attached to the Person records that converted through those funnels. Site search and browse optimization settings are platform-specific and do not migrate; we document them in the configuration inventory for the customer to rebuild in their chosen web analytics or CMS tool.

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 export strategy
We audit the Netmera environment: user volume, segment count, custom profile attribute schema (field names and types), tag inventory, device data volume, and any campaign, journey, or event history in scope. We identify which segments to use as export sources, define the audience rules, and freeze those rules before any test export. We also audit GDPR data scope for EU end-users and confirm legal authority to export. The discovery output is a written migration scope document and a Netmera export plan specifying segment rules, attribute mapping, and GDPR compliance steps.
Segment test export and coverage validation
We run a test segment export against the frozen audience rules and compare the extracted user count against the customer's expected record count. Any coverage gaps trigger a supplemental segment definition to capture missing users. We validate that profile attributes are present in the export and flag any attribute types that require type transformation for Twenty CRM's schema. This step confirms the extraction strategy before any production data moves.
Twenty CRM schema setup
We set up the Twenty CRM target environment: create the Person and Company objects, provision custom fields mapped from Netmera profile attributes, create Tags for segment and tag imports, and configure any custom objects for survey responses or behavioral event references. We validate the schema in a staging Twenty CRM instance before any production migration begins. The Twenty CRM self-hosted instance is deployed via Docker following the official documentation; we coordinate with the customer's infrastructure team for network and database access.
Data extraction and transformation
We run the full Netmera segment export using the frozen audience rules, extract tag associations per user, pull device metadata (OS, app version), and export campaign and journey metadata for reference Notes. Profile attribute values are normalized and typed according to the Twenty CRM field types defined in the schema setup. We extract tag memberships and map them to Twenty CRM Tags on Person records. Push tokens are exported for audit but not imported into Twenty CRM (they are non-transferable). GDPR data handling controls are applied throughout extraction and transit.
Staging migration and reconciliation
We run a full migration into the Twenty CRM staging instance. The customer reconciles record counts (Persons in, tag associations, custom field values) against the Netmera source. We spot-check 25-50 random Person records for data accuracy, validate tag assignment correctness, and confirm that custom field values populated correctly. Any mapping corrections are documented and applied to the production migration runbook. The customer signs off the staging migration before production cutover.
Production migration and cutover
We freeze Netmera writes during the cutover window, run a final delta extraction of any records modified since the staging migration, and load into the production Twenty CRM instance. We validate record counts match the staging baseline, run a final spot-check, and enable Twenty CRM as the system of record. We deliver the campaign, journey, widget, and page configuration inventory as a written document for the customer to rebuild in their chosen engagement tools. We do not rebuild Netmera workflows, automations, or campaigns as code; that scope is separate.
Post-migration delivery and push token handoff
We deliver the migration completion report including record counts by object, tag assignment summary, custom field coverage report, and any records that could not be migrated with root cause. We flag the push token non-transferability explicitly and recommend a re-engagement campaign timeline. We provide a one-week hypercare window for reconciliation issues. We do not provide ongoing platform administration, training, or push notification re-enrollment as standard scope; these are separate engagements.
