Overview

What this migration involves

Ometria and Twenty CRM serve different primary use cases. Ometria is a retail-focused Customer Data and Experience Platform (CDXP) that consolidates customer profiles from ecommerce, POS, loyalty, and campaign sources into a single profile and orchestrates cross-channel campaigns through AI-driven segmentation. Twenty CRM is an open-source CRM centered on People, Companies, Opportunities, and Activities with a modern PostgreSQL-backed API. The migration from Ometria to Twenty CRM is a use-case pivot: teams move away from Ometria's campaign orchestration and retail-CDP model toward a sales-centric CRM for pipeline management, relationship tracking, and deal execution. We migrate contact profiles with all standard and custom properties, account/company records, suppression and consent data for GDPR compliance, and historical event data as Activity records. Ometria Lifecycle Programs, AI-driven Architect segment recommendations, broadcast campaign templates, and scoring models do not migrate as automation code; we deliver a written inventory of each for the customer's admin to rebuild in Twenty.

Field-level fidelity

Every standard and custom field arrives verified.

Schema-aware mapping

AI proposes the map; you confirm before any record moves.

Relationships preserved

Parent–child, lookups, and ownership stay linked.

Full activity history

Calls, emails, meetings — with original timestamps.

Attachments & notes

Documents, uploads, and inline notes move with the record.

Why teams make this switch

Two sides of the same decision

Leaving

Ometria logo

Ometria

What's pushing teams away

  • Steep learning curve with extensive features leads to frustration, especially for teams exploring advanced segmentation and reporting capabilities.
  • Complex reporting processes are time-consuming when analyzing customer data visualizations, causing delays in campaign optimization.
  • Limited SMS capabilities compared to specialist platforms, with users citing feature gaps in multichannel execution.
  • Ease of setup rated lower than competitors like Insider, indicating significant configuration effort is required out of the box.
  • Per-contact pricing model becomes expensive as list size grows, driving mid-market brands to seek more affordable alternatives.

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 Ometria objects map to Twenty CRM

Each row shows how a Ometria 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.

Ometria

Contact

maps to

Twenty CRM

Person

1:1
Fully supported

Ometria Contacts map to Twenty CRM Person records. We map standard fields (email, firstName, lastName, phone, address properties) directly. Ometria custom dynamic properties migrate as Twenty custom fields, which we pre-create in the target workspace via the API before import. Consent records (opt-in status, consent timestamp, opt-in source) map to Twenty's optional workspace-level consent tracking or custom fields. Email address serves as the dedupe key during import.

Ometria

Company

maps to

Twenty CRM

Company

1:1
Fully supported

Ometria Company records (from ecommerce or POS integrations) map to Twenty CRM Company records. Store locations that are modeled as Ometria Stores may map to additional Company records or to custom address fields depending on the customer's data model. The store name becomes the Company name; location metadata becomes address and custom fields.

Ometria

Segment

maps to

Twenty CRM

Custom field or tag group

1:1
Fully supported

Ometria Segments are dynamic rule-based groups. We export the segment definition (rule logic, conditions, membership count) and the membership list as CSV. The membership list migrates as a tag or custom multi-select field on Person records. Segment logic itself (if-then rule conditions) cannot be replayed in Twenty CRM and is documented for manual rebuild as filter views in Twenty's UI.

Ometria

Lifecycle Program

maps to

Twenty CRM

Manual rebuild required

lossy
Fully supported

Lifecycle Programs are multi-step automation journeys with event triggers, delays, and conditional branches. Twenty CRM has no native automation engine equivalent. We export the full program structure (step sequence, trigger events, delay durations, conditional logic, and action types) as a written inventory document. The customer's admin rebuilds each program in a third-party automation tool (Brevo, Klaviyo, or an in-house system) or documents it for future implementation in Twenty.

Ometria

Broadcast Campaign

maps to

Twenty CRM

Manual rebuild required

lossy
Fully supported

Broadcast campaigns (one-time email sends to a list or segment) include template content, send configuration, and campaign history. We transfer broadcast template HTML as reference documentation. Sending logs and delivery metrics export as separate CSV files. The email execution layer (sending infrastructure, throttling, SPF/DKIM) does not migrate and requires a new sending domain configuration in the customer's chosen email platform.

Ometria

Suppression List

maps to

Twenty CRM

Person records with blocked status

1:1
Fully supported

Ometria suppression lists hold contacts blocked from email for compliance or deliverability reasons. We export the full suppression list and apply the email addresses as a block set in the destination email platform (Brevo, Klaviyo, or SendGrid) configured during migration. In Twenty CRM, suppressed contacts are flagged via a custom field or Person record tag to ensure they are not re-engaged without re-verification.

Ometria

Event (order_placed, email_opened, page_viewed, etc.)

maps to

Twenty CRM

Activity

lossy
Fully supported

Ometria Events capture customer actions with customizable property schemas. We map event names and timestamps to Twenty CRM Activity records attached to the corresponding Person and Company. Event properties with structured values (revenue, product SKU, discount code) migrate as Activity custom fields or as notes on the Activity record. High-volume event types (page_viewed) are scoped to the last 12-24 months to manage API load and destination storage.

Ometria

Customer Attributes (dynamic properties)

maps to

Twenty CRM

Custom fields

lossy
Fully supported

Ometria stores customer attributes as dynamic properties unique to each account (loyalty points, VIP flag, lifecycle stage, favorite brand). We audit the full property schema, map property data types (string, number, boolean, date, array) to Twenty's field type equivalents, pre-create all custom fields in the Twenty workspace, and import values as structured field data. Properties with array values (e.g., product preferences) map to Twenty multi-select custom fields.

Ometria

Subscriber

maps to

Twenty CRM

Person with consent fields

1:1
Fully supported

Subscribers are contacts with explicit opt-in status. Consent records are migration-critical for GDPR and CAN-SPAM compliance. We preserve subscription status, consent timestamp, and opt-in source, mapping each to dedicated fields in Twenty. If the customer's destination email platform differs from Twenty's sending layer, consent records are also configured in that platform to ensure deliverability compliance is maintained post-migration.

Ometria

Order

maps to

Twenty CRM

Custom fields or Opportunity

lossy
Fully supported

Order records from Ometria (revenue attribution, product SKUs, discount codes) are mapped as custom fields on the associated Person or Company record, or as Opportunity records if the customer uses Ometria's order data for sales pipeline tracking. Revenue figures from Ometria may differ from Google Analytics by 15-20% due to different visit-counting and attribution logic; we flag this discrepancy and validate totals against Ometria's native reports during reconciliation.

Ometria

Store

maps to

Twenty CRM

Company or location field

1:1
Fully supported

Ometria Stores represent individual retail locations integrated as data sources. We migrate store profiles (name, location metadata, address) as Company records in Twenty CRM with a custom store-type field to distinguish them from customer companies. Store-level suppression rules and store-attribute associations migrate as additional fields on each Person record.

Ometria

Master Template HTML

maps to

Twenty CRM

Manual rebuild required

lossy
Fully supported

Ometria requires HTML templates to be copied specifically into a master template slot during account migration. We extract full HTML from the source account as a reference archive. Templates are not imported into Twenty CRM directly since Twenty does not include a native email template editor. We deliver the template archive to the customer's marketing team for re-insertion into their chosen email platform (Brevo, Klaviyo, or equivalent).

Pair-specific challenges

  • Six-week Ometria technical project notice blocks extraction start

    Ometria requires a minimum six-week technical project notice for any migration involving a new account, changed integration, or new data source setup. This applies regardless of whether the migration is a full platform switch or a partial data extraction. We schedule migration scoping and discovery to complete inside this window and do not begin data extraction until the six-week notice is confirmed with an Ometria technical project manager. Teams that assume extraction can begin on short notice will encounter delays. Ometria contacts must be engaged through their official account migration process; direct API extraction without project management involvement may violate the account terms.

  • Twenty CRM self-hosted Docker and Kubernetes migrations can fail on fresh installs

    Twenty CRM's self-hosted deployment via Docker or Kubernetes has a documented issue in v1.0 where database migration fails at startup when the core.keyValuePair table does not yet exist. This affects teams attempting a clean install of Twenty as part of migration setup. Later versions (v1.3.0 onward) have resolved this but self-hosted upgrade paths between minor versions have reported migration failures requiring manual database steps. We validate the target Twenty instance boots cleanly with a test migration before running production import, and we document the Postgres version and Twenty version requirements in the project scope.

  • Ometria custom dynamic properties require field-type mapping before import

    Ometria custom fields are account-specific dynamic properties with types that vary per account. Properties like loyalty points (number), brand preferences (array), or VIP flag (boolean) require explicit mapping to Twenty's typed custom fields (Text, Number, Boolean, Multi-select). If a property uses an Ometria-specific type that has no Twenty equivalent, we store it as a JSON-encoded string field and flag it for the customer's admin to restructure post-migration. Schema drift between Ometria's flexible property model and Twenty's structured field model is the most common source of data truncation or import errors in this migration path.

  • Historical event data and scoring models do not auto-migrate to Twenty

    Ometria scoring models, customer lifetime value calculations, and AI-driven Architect recommendations are account-specific and cannot be exported and replayed in Twenty CRM. We migrate raw event records and contact attributes but flag that any predictive scoring, segment scoring models, and retail-specific analytics dashboards must be rebuilt in Twenty or supplemented with a BI tooling layer. We recommend migrating summary-level reporting data (segment sizes, engagement rates, revenue totals) alongside raw records to preserve comparison baselines for the first 30 days post-cutover.

Migration approach

Six steps for a successful Ometria to Twenty CRM data migration

  1. Engagement and Ometria technical project notice

    We begin by engaging Ometria's technical project management team to initiate the required six-week notice period. During this window we conduct the discovery phase: auditing the Ometria account for object types in use, custom property schemas, segment definitions, suppression list size, event types and volume, and store count. We also confirm whether the customer uses Ometria's CDP-only or Full CDXP tier, as this affects the volume of campaign and automation data requiring documentation. Discovery outputs a written migration scope, a data inventory, and a confirmed extraction start date aligned to the Ometria notice requirement.

  2. Twenty CRM workspace setup and schema design

    We provision the Twenty CRM workspace (self-hosted or cloud) and design the destination schema. This includes pre-creating all custom fields to match Ometria's dynamic property schema, defining Company types to distinguish customer companies from store locations, and setting up consent-tracking fields for GDPR compliance. If the customer uses Twenty's REST or GraphQL API for bulk import, we test the API connection and validate field-type compatibility with the Ometria data types. The Twenty workspace is validated with a small sample import (50-100 records) before the full migration begins.

  3. Data extraction, cleansing, and field mapping

    We extract data from Ometria in dependency order: Companies and Stores first (to establish the organization hierarchy), then Persons (Contacts and Subscribers) with company lookups resolved, then Segments and suppression lists. Custom properties are audited for type compatibility with Twenty fields. We cleanse duplicate records, normalize inconsistent formats (phone numbers, addresses), and resolve Ometria Owner-to-Twenty User mapping by email. Data extraction uses Ometria's export connectors (CSV, S3, Databricks) or API depending on the account's data volume and access configuration. Historical event data is scoped to the last 12-24 months unless the customer specifies a different retention window.

  4. Twenty CRM production migration

    We run production migration into Twenty CRM in dependency order: Companies (first), Persons with company associations, custom field values, segment memberships as tags, suppression records as blocked flags, and Activities from Ometria event history. Each phase emits a row-count reconciliation report comparing the extracted Ometria record count against the inserted Twenty record count. Any mismatches trigger a data quality review before proceeding to the next phase. Owner/User resolution is validated during the Person import phase, and any unmatched owners are flagged to the customer's admin for provisioning.

  5. Consent and suppression configuration

    We configure the email sending domain in the customer's destination email platform (Brevo, Klaviyo, or equivalent) and apply the full Ometria suppression list as a block set to prevent sending to previously unsubscribed contacts. Consent records (opt-in timestamp, opt-in source) are verified against the suppression data to catch any cases where a contact was suppressed after originally opting in. This step is critical for GDPR compliance and for maintaining deliverability metrics post-migration.

  6. Cutover, validation, and Lifecycle Program handoff

    We freeze writes in Ometria during a defined cutover window, run a final delta migration of any records modified during the migration window, then designate Twenty CRM as the system of record. We deliver the Lifecycle Program inventory document (step sequences, triggers, conditional logic) and the Broadcast Campaign template archive to the customer's admin team. We support a one-week hypercare window for reconciliation issues. Workflow rebuild, automation setup, and CRM training are outside the standard migration scope and are handled as separate engagements.

Most migrations land between three and five weeks for accounts under 50,000 Contacts, 5,000 Companies, and no complex historical event migration. The six-week Ometria technical project notice period runs in parallel with scoping and discovery, so total elapsed time from engagement kickoff to cutover is typically eight to ten weeks. Migrations with large custom property schemas (over 100 fields), six-figure suppression lists, or multi-year event history move to eight to twelve weeks because of field-type mapping complexity and Activity timeline reconstruction.
