Overview

What this migration involves

Moving from Onpipeline to Twenty CRM is a migration from a per-user SaaS platform to an open-source, self-hostable CRM that models itself as a clean-slate alternative to Salesforce. Onpipeline organizes its sales process around Deals linked to Contacts and optionally Companies, with Products, Quotes, and Invoices providing post-sale workflow. Twenty CRM uses a standard Opportunity model attached to Person and Company records, with a flexible custom-object engine that lets teams define their own data model. We preserve Deal stages and probabilities, resolve Onpipeline Users to Twenty workspace members, and migrate Activities as Timeline entries. Quotes and Invoices have no native Twenty equivalent at this time; we document the customer's Quote and Invoice schemas and either configure them as custom objects in Twenty or flag them for manual rebuild post-migration. Onpipeline Workflows, recurring invoice automation, and Web Forms do not migrate as code.

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

Onpipeline logo

Onpipeline

What's pushing teams away

  • Limited advanced automation or workflow builder compared to HubSpot or Salesforce, leaving power users wanting more complex rule-based processes.
  • Reporting and analytics are described as functional but not as deep or customizable as larger CRM platforms.
  • Multi-currency or multi-entity support is minimal, making it less suitable for businesses with complex international structures.
  • Smaller ecosystem of third-party integrations compared to market leaders, requiring more custom API work for niche tools.

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 Onpipeline objects map to Twenty CRM

Each row shows how a Onpipeline 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.

Onpipeline

Contact

maps to

Twenty CRM

Person

1:1
Fully supported

Onpipeline Contacts map directly to Twenty Person records. Standard fields (name, email, phone, address) migrate 1:1. Tags and Lifecycle Stage migrate as custom fields or labels on the Person record. Phone numbers use Twenty's phone field type with configurable default country code. If the customer's Onpipeline contacts span multiple roles at the same company, each Contact becomes a separate Person; the Company-to-Company linkage is resolved separately.

Onpipeline

Company

maps to

Twenty CRM

Company

1:1
Fully supported

Onpipeline Company records map to Twenty Company records. Company name, domain, address, and industry fields migrate 1:1. The Person-to-Company linkage migrates as a Twenty workspaceRelation record, preserving the many-to-many relationship where multiple People can be associated with one Company.

Onpipeline

Deal

maps to

Twenty CRM

Opportunity

1:1
Fully supported

Onpipeline Deals are the central object and map to Twenty Opportunities. Deal name, value, expected close date, and stage assignment migrate. The Deal-to-Contact (and optional Deal-to-Company) association migrates by linking the Opportunity to the corresponding Person and Company records in Twenty. Closed-won and closed-lost reason fields from Onpipeline custom fields become Opportunity custom fields in Twenty.

Onpipeline

Pipeline Stage

maps to

Twenty CRM

Opportunity Stage

lossy
Fully supported

Onpipeline custom stage names and probabilities per pipeline are captured during scoping. Each stage becomes a Twenty Opportunity stage value with its probability percentage mapped to the stage. We configure the stage order in Twenty's Data Model to match Onpipeline's pipeline flow before Opportunities are imported.

Onpipeline

Product

maps to

Twenty CRM

Custom Object (Product)

1:1
Fully supported

Onpipeline Products (name, SKU, price, stock quantity) map to a Twenty custom object named Product if the customer uses product catalog features. We pre-create the custom object schema with name, sku, price, and stock fields before import. If Twenty adds a native product catalog in a future release, the custom object can be deprecated and data migrated to the standard object.

Onpipeline

Activity: Event

maps to

Twenty CRM

Timeline Entry

1:1
Fully supported

Onpipeline Events (calendar appointments with datetime, duration, assigned user, description) migrate as Timeline entries on the related Person or Opportunity record in Twenty. We preserve the event title, start and end datetime, assigned user, and body text. The calendar-to-user assignment is resolved by matching Onpipeline user email to the Twenty workspace member.

Onpipeline

Activity: Task

maps to

Twenty CRM

Timeline Entry

1:1
Fully supported

Onpipeline Tasks (title, due date, assigned user, status) migrate as Timeline entries in Twenty. Task status (open, completed) maps to a completion flag on the Timeline entry. We preserve the original due date and assignment by resolving the Onpipeline owner to the Twenty workspace member.

Onpipeline

Activity: Note

maps to

Twenty CRM

Timeline Entry

1:1
Fully supported

Onpipeline Notes attached to Deals or Contacts migrate as Timeline entries in Twenty with the full note body preserved as rich text. Notes attached to files migrate the file reference; the actual file attachments are downloaded and re-uploaded to Twenty's file storage linked to the Timeline entry.

Onpipeline

Quote

maps to

Twenty CRM

Custom Object (Quote)

lossy
Fully supported

Onpipeline Quotes have no native Twenty equivalent. We document the customer's Quote schema (line items, pricing, e-signature status, linked Contact and Deal) and configure a Quote custom object in Twenty before migration. Quote line items become related QuoteLine custom object records linked to the Quote. E-signature status is stored as a custom field; the signed PDF is attached as a file to the Quote record. If the customer uses a third-party e-signature tool (DocuSign, HelloSign), we note the integration for rebuild post-migration.

Onpipeline

Invoice

maps to

Twenty CRM

Custom Object (Invoice)

lossy
Fully supported

Onpipeline Invoices have no native Twenty equivalent. We configure an Invoice custom object with header fields (invoice number, date, payment status, total) and an InvoiceLine related object for line items. Payment status migrates as a select field. Recurring invoice configurations from Onpipeline Standard and Advanced plans are documented as InvoiceSchedule records in the custom object for manual rebuild; automated recurring invoice generation is not available in Twenty and requires a third-party tool or custom development.

Onpipeline

User / Owner

maps to

Twenty CRM

Workspace Member

1:1
Fully supported

Onpipeline Users are resolved by email against Twenty workspace members. We extract every distinct user referenced as a Deal owner or activity assignee and match against the Twenty workspace. Any Onpipeline user without a matching Twenty member goes to a reconciliation queue for the customer's admin to provision. Inactive Onpipeline users are migrated as inactive Twenty members with their historical assignments preserved.

Pair-specific challenges

  • Quotes and Invoices have no native Twenty CRM equivalent

    Twenty CRM does not currently ship a native Quote or Invoice object. Customers migrating from Onpipeline's integrated quote and invoice workflow must reconfigure these as custom objects in Twenty's Data Model before data import, or rebuild them in a separate tool post-migration. We pre-create the Quote and Invoice custom object schemas during migration scoping, but automated recurring invoice generation and native e-signature workflows require third-party tools (DocuSign, Stripe, QBO) or custom SDK development. This is the highest-impact gap in the migration and should be addressed before cutover.

  • Multi-select field migration can trigger schema errors in Twenty

    The Twenty GitHub repository contains open issues (as of early 2025) where updating multi-select fields results in a 'Migration execution failed' error. This affects any Onpipeline Tags or multi-select custom fields being migrated to Twenty multi-select fields. We test multi-select field imports in the staging workspace before production migration. If the error recurs in Twenty's current release, we fall back to storing multi-select values as comma-delimited text fields or topic labels until the bug is resolved upstream.

  • Lead-to-Opportunity conversion does not exist in Twenty

    Twenty CRM does not have a Lead-to-Opportunity conversion action equivalent to Salesforce. Onpipeline does not use a Lead object, but customers who want to model an unqualified-prospect stage in Twenty must create a separate Person record type or a pre-Opportunity custom object and manually copy data when a prospect qualifies. We document this gap and recommend a manual conversion workflow or a custom SDK action for teams that need it.

  • Onpipeline trial data is deleted 7 days after expiry

    Onpipeline suspends account access immediately when a trial ends and deletes all data and settings after 7 days if the account is not subscribed. If a customer waits too long to initiate a migration, their source data may be permanently gone. We ask for trial expiration dates during scoping and prioritize migrations for accounts approaching expiry. If the account is already expired, data recovery is not possible and the customer must start fresh in Twenty.

  • Workflow automations do not migrate to Twenty

    Onpipeline Workflows built with the visual automation builder do not have a Twenty equivalent. Twenty v2.0 ships without a native workflow builder; teams build automation via the SDK or use external tools (Zapier, Make, n8n). We deliver a written inventory of every active Onpipeline Workflow with its trigger, conditions, and actions, mapped to a recommended Twenty SDK approach or third-party automation tool. The customer's engineering team rebuilds automations post-migration.

Migration approach

Six steps for a successful Onpipeline to Twenty CRM data migration

  1. Discovery and data audit

    We audit the Onpipeline account across plan tier (Pipeline/Standard/Advanced), custom field schemas on all objects, pipeline count and stage definitions, active Workflows, Quote and Invoice configurations, recurring revenue schedules, and user list. We extract a full data export via Onpipeline's API or CSV export and produce a written data map showing every source object, field, and relationship. This audit also captures the trial expiry date to prioritize urgency if the account is in a trial state.

  2. Twenty workspace provisioning and schema design

    We provision a Twenty workspace (self-hosted or cloud-hosted per the customer's infrastructure) and design the destination schema. This includes creating the Company and Person objects with standard field mapping, configuring Opportunity stages and probabilities to match Onpipeline pipeline stages, pre-creating custom objects for Product, Quote, and Invoice with the customer's specific field schemas, and setting up workspace member accounts matched to Onpipeline users. The schema design is validated in a staging workspace before production.

  3. Custom object configuration for Quote and Invoice

    Because Twenty lacks native Quote and Invoice objects, we configure these as custom objects during the schema design phase. We create the Quote custom object with line items as a related object, add e-signature status and PDF attachment fields, and configure the Invoice custom object with payment status and recurring schedule fields. The customer reviews and approves the custom object schema before data migration begins.

  4. Staging migration and reconciliation

    We run a full migration into the staging Twenty workspace using production-like data volume. The customer's operations lead reconciles record counts (Contacts in, Companies in, Deals in, Activities in), spot-checks 25-50 records against the Onpipeline source, and validates the Quote and Invoice custom object configurations. Any field mapping corrections and custom object schema adjustments happen here before production migration begins.

  5. Production migration in dependency order

    We run production migration in record-dependency order: workspace members (manual provisioning validated), Companies (from Onpipeline Companies), Persons (from Onpipeline Contacts with Person-to-Company relations resolved), Opportunities (with stage, probability, and linked Person/Company resolved), Products (custom object), Quotes and Invoice custom objects (with line items as related records), Activity history (Events, Tasks, Notes as Timeline entries via Twenty REST API with batch chunking and rate-limit handling). Each phase emits a row-count reconciliation report before the next phase begins.

  6. Cutover, validation, and Workflow handoff

    We freeze Onpipeline write access during cutover, run a final delta migration of any records modified during the migration window, then enable Twenty as the system of record. We validate Quote and Invoice record counts and spot-check the custom object data. We deliver the Workflow inventory document to the customer's team for rebuild via Twenty SDK or third-party automation tools. We support a one-week hypercare window where we resolve any reconciliation issues. Post-migration admin support, training, and automation rebuild are outside standard scope and can be scoped as a separate engagement.

Destination

Strengths

  • AGPL-3.0 open-source license with full source code on GitHub — no vendor lock-in, no sunset risk.
  • Unlimited users and unlimited custom objects on self-hosted, with no feature gating based on headcount.
  • REST and GraphQL APIs available on all paid tiers, not locked behind an enterprise add-on fee.
  • MCP server and webhooks shipped as standard features, not premium upgrades.
  • Modern PostgreSQL-backed data model that developer teams can query, extend, and self-host.

Weaknesses

  • Recent v1.0 release means limited production hardening compared to CRMs with multi-year operational track records.
  • No native email sequencing or sales engagement tools — follow-up cadences require a separate platform.
  • No native two-way email sync or inbox integration, requiring third-party connectors for full activity logging.
  • Self-hosting 'free' pricing hides real infrastructure and DevOps costs that stack up over time.
  • Workflow automation is functional but lacks the complexity needed for sophisticated multi-step sales motions.
