Overview
Moving from OptifiNow to Twenty CRM is a migration from a vertically-integrated enterprise platform with opaque pricing to an open-source CRM with transparent per-seat tiers. OptifiNow stores its schema internally with no public OpenAPI specification; we begin every engagement with a discovery session to enumerate the customer's specific custom objects, field definitions, and pipeline configurations before committing to a field mapping. Activity history (calls, emails, meetings, tasks) migrates through Twenty's REST and GraphQL APIs using batch import with parent-record lookup resolution to maintain relationship integrity between Person records, Company records, and Opportunities. Marketing automation sequences, workflow definitions, and content approval workflows do not migrate as executable logic; we document them as plain-text inventories for the customer's admin to rebuild in Twenty's workflow builder. The destination model uses Person and Company as the core objects (matching Twenty's standard schema), with custom objects created via Twenty's metadata API before any data import begins.
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 OptifiNow 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.
OptifiNow
Lead
Twenty CRM
Person
1:1OptifiNow's Lead Management module maps to Twenty's Person object. We extract lead source, assignment rules, and any custom status fields from OptifiNow's lead routing configuration during discovery. Custom lead status values migrate as a multi-select picklist field on the Person record. The original OptifiNow lead creation date migrates to Person.createdAt for historical sequencing.
OptifiNow
Contact
Twenty CRM
Person
1:1OptifiNow Contact records map directly to Twenty Person. Standard fields (name, email, phone) migrate 1:1. Activity history linked to the Contact in OptifiNow migrates as Tasks and Notes on the corresponding Person in Twenty. Tag associations and custom contact-level fields discovered during the schema walkthrough migrate as custom fields on Person.
OptifiNow
Account
Twenty CRM
Company
1:1OptifiNow Account records map to Twenty Company. The account hierarchy (parent-child company relationships) migrates as a Company self-lookup relationship if present. All Contacts linked to the Account in OptifiNow are linked to the migrated Company in Twenty via the Person.companyId field.
OptifiNow
Opportunity
Twenty CRM
Opportunity
1:1OptifiNow Opportunities map to Twenty Opportunity with deal value, probability, and expected close date preserved. Pipeline stage names from OptifiNow's tenant-specific configuration migrate to Twenty's Opportunity.stage field with a stage mapping table defined during discovery. Closed-Won and Closed-Lost reasons become custom select fields on Opportunity.
OptifiNow
Pipeline Stage
Twenty CRM
Opportunity Stage
lossyOptifiNow's configurable pipeline stages migrate to Twenty's Opportunity stage values via a stage mapping table created during the discovery phase. Stage probability percentages transfer as Opportunity probability values. If OptifiNow uses multiple pipelines, we create multiple sets of stage values in Twenty and assign them per Opportunity record during import.
OptifiNow
Marketing Automation Sequences
Twenty CRM
Documentation (rebuild required)
lossyOptifiNow stores email sequences, triggers, and delays as internal workflow definitions that cannot be extracted as runnable automation packages. We export sequence templates as plain-text documentation listing trigger conditions, step order, delay durations, and CRM action types. The customer's admin rebuilds these as Twenty Workflows or as a sequence management tool of their choosing post-migration.
OptifiNow
Custom Objects
Twenty CRM
Custom Objects
1:1OptifiNow custom objects migrate to Twenty custom objects created via the /metadata API before data import. The discovery phase enumerates OptifiNow custom object types and field definitions; we then create matching Twenty custom objects with equivalent field types (text, number, select, date, relation). Custom object records import after all standard object parent records are present to satisfy lookup dependencies.
OptifiNow
Activities (Calls, Emails, Meetings)
Twenty CRM
Task, Note, Event
1:1OptifiNow activity logs (calls, emails, meetings, social interactions) linked to Contacts and Accounts migrate as Twenty Task, Note, or Event records based on activity type. Call duration and disposition migrate to custom Task fields. Email content migrates as Note or Task body. Activity timestamps are preserved as Task.createdAt for chronological ordering. Parent record lookups resolve via email-to-Person matching or explicit OptifiNow contact ID tracking.
OptifiNow
Content Library
Twenty CRM
Attachments (limited)
1:1OptifiNow's content management module stores marketing collateral, images, and social media materials. Binary file assets migrate as file blobs attached to relevant Opportunity or Person records. Approval workflow associations and scheduling metadata cannot be preserved in Twenty's file model; we document the content library structure so the customer's admin can re-establish any approval routing in Twenty Workflows post-migration.
OptifiNow
User / Owner
Twenty CRM
Member
1:1OptifiNow User records with role and territory assignments map to Twenty Member records. We extract OptifiNow owner IDs from Contact, Account, and Opportunity records and match by email against the Twenty workspace Members list. Any OptifiNow owner without a matching Twenty Member goes to a reconciliation queue for manual provisioning before record import proceeds.

Workflows and Processes
Twenty CRM
Documentation (rebuild required)
lossyOptifiNow benchmark sales processes and workflow rules are opaque and tenant-specific. We document the workflow map during discovery, listing each rule's trigger condition, conditions, and CRM actions. Twenty's workflow builder recreates these as Twenty Workflows. The handoff includes a workflow inventory document with trigger types, conditions, and action sequences that the customer's admin uses to rebuild inside Twenty.

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.
OptifiNow gotchas
Non-public API schema requires pre-migration discovery
Pricing structure includes variable overages not visible at signup
Marketing automation sequences do not export as executable logic
Limited public review corpus complicates reference checking
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 schema enumeration
We begin with a structured discovery session accessing the live OptifiNow tenant to enumerate all custom fields, custom object types, pipeline stage configurations, owner role assignments, and workflow definitions. This session produces a written migration inventory documenting every OptifiNow object and field alongside its discovered API name. Without this step we cannot produce an accurate field map or quote the migration with confidence.
Twenty workspace preparation and custom object creation
We create the destination schema in Twenty before any data import. This includes creating any custom objects via the /metadata API, adding custom fields to Person, Company, and Opportunity objects, configuring stage values for Opportunity matching the discovered OptifiNow pipeline, and inviting all team Members so that owner lookups resolve during import. Fields must exist before import because Twenty's CSV import creates records, not fields.
Data audit and deduplication planning
We run a data quality audit on the discovered OptifiNow records, flagging duplicate contacts, records with missing required fields, and inconsistent date formats. We agree a deduplication strategy with the customer (email-based dedupe for Person, domain-based for Company) before export begins. We also identify historical records (closed Opportunities, archived Contacts) that the customer may prefer to exclude from migration to reduce volume.
Sandbox import and reconciliation
We run a full test migration into a Twenty staging workspace using production-like data volume. The customer reconciles record counts (Persons in, Companies in, Opportunities in, Activities in), spot-checks 25-50 records against the OptifiNow source, and reviews the custom object schema before we proceed to production. Mapping corrections and data quality decisions happen in staging, not in production.
Production migration in dependency order
We run production migration in dependency order: Members first (owner lookups must resolve), then Companies (from OptifiNow Accounts), then Persons (from OptifiNow Contacts and Leads), then Opportunities, then Custom Object records, then Activity history via REST or GraphQL batch import. Each phase emits a row-count reconciliation report before the next phase begins. We freeze OptifiNow writes during the final delta migration window.
Cutover, validation, and workflow handoff
We enable Twenty as the system of record after the final delta pass. We deliver the workflow inventory document listing every discovered OptifiNow automation with recommended Twenty Workflow equivalents. We provide a one-week hypercare window to resolve any record discrepancies reported by the sales team. We do not rebuild OptifiNow Workflows or Sequences as Twenty Workflows inside the migration scope; that is a separate engagement or internal admin rebuild.
