Overview
Moving from Ploomes CRM to Twenty CRM is a migration from a Brazilian-focused, ERP-connected sales platform to an open-source CRM with a fully customizable data model. Ploomes uses separate Contact and Company objects with CPQ and proposal generation baked in; Twenty uses a similar Company-Contact separation but stores activity timeline records differently and relies on CSV-based imports with strict ordering requirements. We handle the Ploomes 300-item API pagination ceiling by chunking exports across all affected endpoints, preserve Brazilian CNPJ/CPF identification fields as custom fields in Twenty, and enforce Twenty's dependency-first import sequence so Organizations are written before Contacts and Opportunities. Ploomes Workflow automations, proposal templates, and Quote version history are not programmatically accessible and are excluded from the migration scope. We deliver a written workflow audit inventory so your team can rebuild automation logic in Twenty's configurable workflow system post-migration.
Every standard and custom field arrives verified.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a Ploomes CRM 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.
Ploomes CRM
Contact
Twenty CRM
Person
1:1Ploomes Contact records map to Twenty Person records. We extract all standard Contact properties (name, email, phone, address, social links) plus any CNPJ/CPF identification fields stored as custom properties on the Contact. These Brazilian business identification fields are preserved as custom fields on the Twenty Person record. Email address serves as the dedupe key during import. The Ploomes Contact-Company association is preserved by resolving the Organization ID before the Person import phase.
Ploomes CRM
Company
Twenty CRM
Organization
1:1Ploomes Company records map to Twenty Organization records. Company name becomes the Organization name, domain maps to the Website field, and industry, employee count, and revenue fields map where present. Organization is the one-side of the one-to-many Person-Organization relationship, so we import Organizations first as Twenty's import documentation requires. Any Company-level custom fields are created as Organization custom fields in Twenty before import.
Ploomes CRM
Deal
Twenty CRM
Opportunity
1:1Ploomes Deal records map to Twenty Opportunity records. Deal name, value, stage, expected close date, owner, and probability percentages transfer directly. The Ploomes pipeline stage maps to a Twenty pipeline stage configuration that we set up before migration. Closed-Won and Closed-Lost reasons from Ploomes custom properties become Opportunity custom fields in Twenty. We resolve Organization and Person lookups before importing Opportunities so that the opportunity-account relationship is established at insert time.
Ploomes CRM
Pipeline Stage
Twenty CRM
Pipeline Stage
lossyPloomes pipeline stages (associated with a specific Deal pipeline) map to Twenty pipeline stages. We create the destination pipeline structure in Twenty first, then configure stage order and probability percentages to match Ploomes. Stage assignments on Deals are preserved by matching stage names during the Deal-to-Opportunity mapping phase. If the customer uses multiple Ploomes pipelines, we map each to a separate Twenty pipeline.
Ploomes CRM
Product
Twenty CRM
Standard Object (custom)
1:1Ploomes Products (with Groups and Parts hierarchy) are exported and mapped to Twenty as standard custom objects representing product catalog entries. Product name, SKU (hs_sku equivalent), description, unit price, and group assignments transfer. Because Twenty does not have a native product catalog object by default, we create a Products custom object with the relevant fields before import and link it to Opportunities via a custom lookup field.
Ploomes CRM
Quote
Twenty CRM
Custom Object
1:1Ploomes Quote records map to a Quotes custom object in Twenty, linked to the parent Opportunity. Quote headers, line items (product references, quantities, unit prices), totals, and approval status transfer as custom fields on the Quote record. Note that Ploomes Quote version history is not accessible via the public API, so only the current state of each Quote migrates. We alert customers to this limitation during scoping and recommend exporting PDF snapshots of quote history before the migration window.
Ploomes CRM
Task
Twenty CRM
Task
1:1Ploomes Tasks linked to Contacts or Deals map to Twenty Tasks. Task title, due date, owner, completion status, and task type transfer. Because Ploomes API pagination is capped at 300 records, we chunk Task extraction into page-based loops across the full dataset. Task assignment resolves by matching Ploomes owner email to the Twenty User email established during the owner reconciliation phase.
Ploomes CRM
User
Twenty CRM
User
1:1Ploomes Users (team members with roles) map to Twenty Users. We extract user name, email, role, and team assignments. Email address is the dedupe and match key. Users must be provisioned in Twenty before any record import that references an Owner field. If the customer has inactive or departed Ploomes users referenced on historical records, we map them to inactive Twenty users to preserve attribution without granting login access.
Ploomes CRM
Team
Twenty CRM
Team
1:1Ploomes Teams group Users for task assignment and permission scoping. We preserve team structure and team membership during import. Teams in Twenty must be created before users are mapped to them, so we run Team extraction and creation before the User import phase.
Ploomes CRM
Tag
Twenty CRM
Tag
1:1Ploomes flat tagging system applied across Contacts, Deals, and Companies maps to Twenty Tags. Tag names and their associations to each record type transfer. Tags in Twenty are applied post-import through a tag association import phase that runs after all primary record types are in place. If the customer has a large volume of tagged records, we run the tag association batch after the base record import is validated.
Ploomes CRM
Custom Field
Twenty CRM
Custom Field
lossyPloomes custom fields created via POST /Fields map to Twenty custom fields created through the application settings interface. We export all custom field definitions (name, type, required flag, visibility rules) during discovery, then create the corresponding fields in Twenty before the data import phase begins. Field type mapping is applied: Ploomes text fields map to Twenty text, number fields to number, date fields to date, and checkbox fields to boolean. Conditional visibility rules and duplicate detection settings are documented for manual reconfiguration in Twenty.
Ploomes CRM
Attachment
Twenty CRM
Not migrated (manual re-upload required)
1:1Ploomes file attachments linked to Contacts, Deals, or Quotes are stored separately and require separate API calls per object. Twenty's CSV import documentation explicitly states that file attachments are not included in CSV exports and must be re-uploaded manually, migrated via API, or handled through the migration partner. We export attachment metadata (file name, linked record, file type, upload date) into a manifest CSV, then flag this as a manual step for the customer to re-upload via Twenty's file upload interface or API after cutover.

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.
Ploomes CRM gotchas
API pagination limit of 300 records per request
User-Key auth requires admin-level access
Workflow automations are not exported via public API
Quote version history is not programmatically accessible
Modular pricing means actual cost depends on selected add-ons
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 source audit
We audit the Ploomes account across all accessible objects: Contacts, Companies, Deals, Pipeline Stages, Products, Quotes, Tasks, Tags, Custom Fields, Users, and Teams. We run pagination-chunked counts across Contacts, Deals, Tasks, and Orders to establish total record volume and the number of chunk loops required per endpoint. We also document active Workflow automations, active proposal templates, and any Ploomes-specific integrations (Sankhya, Pluga, Zapier) that may affect migration scope. The discovery output is a written migration scope document listing record counts, custom field inventory, workflow audit checklist, and a preliminary object mapping.
Schema setup in Twenty
We create the destination schema in Twenty before any data import. This includes setting up Organizations (Companies), Persons (Contacts), Opportunities (Deals), and any custom objects required for Products and Quotes. Custom fields for CNPJ/CPF are created on Person and Organization. Pipeline stages and their probabilities are configured to match the Ploomes pipeline structure. Tags are set up to match the flat Ploomes tagging system. We validate the schema in Twenty's sandbox or staging environment before moving to production data load.
Chunked data extraction from Ploomes
We extract all data from Ploomes using chunked API requests to handle the 300-item pagination cap. Each object (Contacts, Deals, Tasks, Orders) is extracted in page loops until the full dataset is retrieved. CNPJ/CPF fields and any custom field values are included in the export payload. We cross-validate record counts against the Ploomes dashboard totals reported during discovery to confirm completeness before beginning the transform phase.
Data transform and mapping
We transform the extracted Ploomes data into Twenty-compatible CSV format. This includes mapping Ploomes field names to Twenty field names, applying type conversions for custom fields, resolving Ploomes Owner IDs to Twenty User emails, and resolving Ploomes Company IDs to Twenty Organization IDs for the Contact import. Tags are extracted as separate tag-value pairs for the tag association import phase. Quote data is mapped to the custom Quotes object schema.
Ordered import into Twenty
We import data into Twenty in strict dependency order: Organizations first, then Persons (linked to Organizations), then Opportunities (linked to Persons and Organizations), then Tasks and activity records, then Tags and tag associations, and finally Quote records. Each phase emits a row-count reconciliation report showing records imported versus records expected. We resolve any null lookup fields before proceeding to the next phase.
Cutover, validation, and manual attachment handoff
We run a final delta migration of any records modified in Ploomes during the migration window, then present a validation report showing record counts, mapping coverage, and any records that could not be imported with their reason codes. We provide the attachment manifest CSV for manual re-upload and the Workflow Audit Checklist for rebuilding automations in Twenty. We support a 72-hour hypercare window for post-migration reconciliation. Ploomes remains the system of record until the customer confirms Twenty is live.
