Overview
Moving from Nurture to Twenty CRM is a structural migration from a per-seat-plus-usage-fee model to an open-source self-hosted or $9/user cloud model. Nurture uses a standard CRM object model with Contacts, Companies, Deals, Activities, and Tasks; Twenty uses a Company-Person-Opportunity-Activity model with a runtime custom data model that allows custom objects and custom fields at any tier. We sequence imports in strict dependency order: Companies before Contacts, Opportunities after the Company lookup is resolved, and Activities after all parent records exist. Custom fields from Nurture require pre-creation in Twenty's data model via the Settings → Data Model panel before data loads. Workflows and done-for-you automation packages from Nurture do not migrate as code; we deliver a written inventory of every active workflow for your admin to rebuild in Twenty's workflow builder. Usage-based telephony and SMS records from Nurture migrate as Activity notes rather than native call objects, as Twenty does not include built-in telephony at this stage.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a Nurture 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.
Nurture
Contact
Twenty CRM
Person
1:1Nurture Contact records map directly to Twenty Person records. We extract firstname, lastname, email, phone, title, and address fields and map them to their Twenty equivalents. The original Nurture owner (hubspot_owner_id) is preserved in a custom field nurture_original_owner__c on the Person record. If the Nurture export includes lifecycle stage or contact status as a custom property, we map it to a custom select field in Twenty for segmentation continuity.
Nurture
Company
Twenty CRM
Company
1:1Nurture Company records map directly to Twenty Company records. The Company record must be created before any Person import because the Person-Company relationship (address field) is a foreign key that must resolve at insert time. We extract domain, industry, employee count, annual revenue, and address fields from Nurture and map them to the corresponding Twenty Company fields. Company name is the dedupe key during import to prevent duplicate Companies.
Nurture
Deal
Twenty CRM
Opportunity
1:1Nurture Deal records map to Twenty Opportunity records. The deal amount, deal stage, close date, and pipeline assignment migrate directly. We map Nurture pipeline stages to Twenty Opportunity stage values and create a corresponding Pipeline in Twenty's data model before migration. If Nurture stores deal owner as a separate property, we resolve it against the WorkspaceMember mapping.
Nurture
Deal Stage
Twenty CRM
Opportunity Stage
lossyEach Nurture pipeline and its associated stages are pre-created in Twenty as Opportunity stages before Deal migration begins. We map Nurture stage names to Twenty stage names, preserving probability percentages where Nurture exposes them. The stage configuration is validated in a Twenty Sandbox or test instance before production migration.
Nurture
Activity
Twenty CRM
Task
1:1Nurture Activity records (calls, emails, meetings, tasks, notes) map to Twenty Task and Event records based on activity type. We use the activity type field from Nurture to determine the mapping: phone activities become Task with a call subtype, email activities become Task with an email subtype, meetings become Event records, and standalone tasks map to Twenty Task. All timestamps (created_at, updated_at) are preserved to maintain the activity timeline order. The linked Contact and Company references are resolved to the migrated Person and Company IDs.
Nurture
Task
Twenty CRM
Task
1:1Nurture standalone Task records (to-dos, reminders) map to Twenty Task records. Task subject, description, due date, priority, status, and owner assignments migrate directly. We resolve the Nurture owner ID to the corresponding WorkspaceMember in Twenty and set the Twenty Task's assigned_to field accordingly. Completed status and completion timestamps are preserved.
Nurture
Custom Field (any object)
Twenty CRM
Custom Field (same object)
lossyNurture custom fields on any standard object (Contact, Company, Deal, Activity) require pre-creation in Twenty's data model before data migration begins. We create each custom field via Twenty's Settings → Data Model panel, selecting the correct field type (text, number, select, multi-select, date, currency, etc.) to match the Nurture data. API names are preserved from Nurture where possible, with underscores replacing spaces. Field order and visibility settings are configured to match Nurture's layout.
Nurture
Custom Object (Nurture)
Twenty CRM
Custom Object (Twenty)
1:1Nurture custom objects map to Twenty custom objects created via the /metadata API before migration. We pre-create the destination schema in Twenty, including all custom fields and lookup relationships, then migrate the data through Twenty's GraphQL or REST API. If Nurture custom objects have lookup relationships to standard objects (Contact, Company, Deal), we resolve the parent reference IDs after the standard object migration phase completes.
Nurture
Owner
Twenty CRM
WorkspaceMember
1:1Nurture Owner records are mapped to Twenty WorkspaceMember records by email address. We extract every distinct owner referenced on Contact, Company, Deal, and Activity records and match by email against the Twenty destination workspace. Any Nurture owner without a matching Twenty WorkspaceMember goes to a reconciliation queue for the customer to provision before record import resumes, because OwnerId references are required fields on many Twenty standard objects.
Nurture
Tag
Twenty CRM
Custom Select Field
lossyNurture tags (stored as multi-checkbox or multi-select properties on Contact, Company, or Deal) are mapped to Twenty custom select or multi-select fields. We create the field in Twenty's data model, populate the available options from the Nurture tag values, and import the tag assignments as field values on the respective records. The customer chooses during scoping whether tags should become select fields, separate custom objects, or topic assignments.

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.
Nurture gotchas
Conflicting public guidance on API availability
Trigger-rule and journey logic is not portable
RSS-to-Email campaigns depend on live feed availability
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
Nurture data audit and CSV export sequencing
We request multi-pass CSV exports from the Nurture admin panel: Contacts, Companies, Deals, Activities, Tasks, and any custom object exports as separate files. We audit each export for record counts, duplicate rates, blank required fields, and the presence of foreign key columns (company_id, contact_id, owner_id) that preserve relationships. We flag any export that is missing relationship IDs and prepare an email-address-based fallback matching strategy. The audit output is a written data readiness report and a list of cleanup tasks to complete before migration.
Twenty workspace provisioning and schema pre-creation
We provision the Twenty workspace (self-hosted or Cloud) and create the data model schema before any data loads. This includes creating custom fields for every Nurture custom property, creating custom objects for any Nurture custom objects, configuring Opportunity stages and pipelines to match Nurture deal stages, and setting up WorkspaceMember records for each migration user. Schema is validated in the Twenty instance before the migration run. If the destination is self-hosted Twenty, we coordinate with the customer's DevOps team on server provisioning, Docker setup, and database access for the migration pipeline.
Owner and WorkspaceMember reconciliation
We extract every distinct Nurture Owner referenced on Contact, Company, Deal, and Activity records and match by email against the Twenty workspace. Owners without a matching Twenty WorkspaceMember are held in a reconciliation queue. The customer's admin provisions any missing WorkspaceMembers (active or inactive depending on whether the Nurture user is still active). Migration cannot proceed past this step because OwnerId and assigned_to references are required on most Twenty standard object imports.
Dependency-ordered migration run
We run production migration in strict record-dependency order. Companies are imported first (Companies have no parent dependencies). Persons are imported second with Company domain used to resolve the Person-Company relationship. Opportunities are imported third with Person and Company IDs resolved from the prior phases. Tasks and Activities are imported last with Person and Company IDs resolved. Custom objects are imported after standard objects because they often have lookup relationships to standard records. Each phase emits a row-count reconciliation report before the next phase begins.
Sandbox validation and production cutover
If the customer has a Twenty test environment, we run a full migration into the test instance first. The customer's RevOps lead reconciles record counts, spot-checks 25-50 records against the Nurture source, and signs off the schema and mapping before production migration begins. Any mapping corrections happen in the test environment. On cutover day, we freeze Nurture writes, run a final delta migration for any records modified during the migration window, then designate Twenty as the system of record.
Workflow inventory handoff and post-migration support
We deliver a written inventory of every active Nurture workflow with its trigger, conditions, and actions and a recommended rebuild approach for Twenty's workflow builder. We support a one-week hypercare window where we resolve any reconciliation issues raised by the customer's team after cutover. We do not rebuild Nurture workflows as Twenty automations inside the migration scope; that work is handled by the customer's admin or a separate Twenty implementation engagement. Telephony reconfiguration (connecting a Twilio or Aircall integration to Twenty) is also outside standard migration scope and requires a separate setup.
