Overview
Moving from Prospect CRM to Twenty CRM trades a purpose-built B2B distributor tool for an open-source CRM with a modern UI and a GraphQL API. Prospect CRM's strength lies in its stock-aware quoting and back-office integrations with Unleashed, DEAR, and Xero; Twenty has no native inventory layer, so the live-stock flag and back-office linkage do not transfer. We extract all Contact, Company, Deal, and Activity records, map Prospect's non-standard Problem Pipelines to Twenty Tasks, preserve RFM segmentation as a custom contact property, and migrate custom fields with their original types. The annual contract with 90-day cancellation notice is a migration-timing constraint we surface during scoping. Workflows, automations, and native integrations do not migrate; we deliver written inventories of these for your admin to rebuild in Twenty.
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 Prospect 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.
Prospect CRM
Contact
Twenty CRM
Person
1:1Prospect CRM Contacts map directly to Twenty CRM Person records. Standard fields (firstName, lastName, email, phone, address) map 1:1. Custom contact fields migrate as custom fields on the Person object. We preserve the RFM segmentation value (Recency, Frequency, Monetary tier) as a custom picklist field rfm_segment__c on Person. The contact's linked Company record is resolved via the Person's companyId lookup before insert to avoid orphaned relationships.
Prospect CRM
Company
Twenty CRM
Company
1:1Prospect CRM Company records map directly to Twenty CRM Company. Company name, domain, industry, employee count, and address fields migrate 1:1. Custom company-level fields migrate as custom fields on the Company object. Company is imported before Person so that the companyId lookup is satisfied at the moment of Person insert.
Prospect CRM
Deal
Twenty CRM
Opportunity
1:1Prospect CRM Deals map to Twenty CRM Opportunities. Deal name, value, stage, close date, owner, and linked Company and Contact references migrate directly. Pipeline stage names from Prospect CRM are mapped to Twenty's Opportunity stage values explicitly since stage IDs are not portable across platforms. We preserve any custom deal properties as custom fields on Opportunity.
Prospect CRM
Pipeline Stage
Twenty CRM
Opportunity Stage
lossyProspect CRM's custom pipeline stages (e.g., 'Quoted', 'Awaiting Stock', 'Negotiation') require explicit mapping to Twenty's Opportunity stage values. We capture stage order and probability percentages from Prospect CRM and configure the corresponding stages in Twenty during schema setup. The stage mapping document is delivered as part of the migration scope so the customer can validate stage semantics before cutover.
Prospect CRM
Problem Pipeline
Twenty CRM
Task (custom object if volume warrants)
lossyProspect CRM's Problem Pipelines (used for tracking delivery issues, returns, and complaints) is a non-standard object with no direct Twenty CRM equivalent. We extract Problem records with Status, Outcome, and linked Customer fields, then map them to Twenty Tasks with a custom problem_type__c label. For high-volume problem sets (over 500 records), we create a custom Problem object in Twenty with its own fields rather than overloading the Task object. The mapping decision is made during scoping based on record count and expected future volume.
Prospect CRM
Product
Twenty CRM
Product
1:1Prospect CRM Product catalog data (SKU, name, description, pricing) migrates to Twenty's Product object. The stock-aware flag and live inventory linkage from Prospect CRM are non-transferable; we document them as a manual checklist item for the customer to re-implement via Twenty's API or a third-party inventory integration.
Prospect CRM
Activity (Notes, Calls, Tasks)
Twenty CRM
Task
1:1Prospect CRM Activity history (notes, calls, tasks) migrates as Twenty CRM Tasks. Activity type labels from Prospect CRM are mapped to Twenty Task category fields. Call duration and disposition from Prospect CRM migrate to custom fields on the Task record. Activity timestamps are preserved to maintain the historical timeline. Activity linking (which record the activity belongs to) is resolved via email match to Person or Company during migration.
Prospect CRM
RFM Segment
Twenty CRM
Custom field on Person
lossyRFM (Recency, Frequency, Monetary) segmentation data is a Prospect CRM-specific classification stored per contact. We export the segment assignment (e.g., 'Best Customer', 'At Risk') as a custom picklist field rfm_segment__c on Twenty's Person object. The segment calculation logic (which defines the Recency, Frequency, and Monetary thresholds) does not migrate as code; we document the customer's current thresholds for manual re-implementation in Twenty if needed.
Prospect CRM
Custom Fields (Contact, Company, Deal)
Twenty CRM
Custom fields (Person, Company, Opportunity)
1:1Custom fields on Prospect CRM Contacts, Companies, and Deals migrate as custom fields in Twenty CRM on the equivalent objects. We capture field type (dropdown, date, number, text) to ensure the correct field type is created in Twenty. Validation rules and conditional logic on custom fields in Prospect CRM do not transfer; these are documented for manual re-implementation in Twenty's field settings.
Prospect CRM
User / Team Member
Twenty CRM
WorkspaceMember
1:1Prospect CRM User records (names, email addresses, role assignments) migrate as Twenty CRM WorkspaceMembers. We resolve by email match. Any Prospect User without a matching Twenty workspace account is held in a reconciliation queue for the customer's admin to provision before record import completes. Role assignments are documented for manual configuration in Twenty's workspace settings.
Prospect CRM
Attachment (on Deal, Contact, Problem)
Twenty CRM
Manual re-upload required
lossyFile attachments linked to Prospect CRM Deals, Contacts, and Problems are not included in CSV exports from Twenty's migration tooling. We flag attachment count and size during scoping, provide a file list with source URLs where available, and deliver a checklist for manual re-upload to Twenty's document storage or a linked file storage service. This limitation is documented in Twenty's own migration documentation.

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.
Prospect CRM gotchas
Start-Up plan is fixed at exactly 4 users with no flexibility
Annual contract with 90-day cancellation notice is migration-blocking
Version 6 to Prospect CRM cloud migration is a full platform rewrite
Problem Pipelines use non-standard CRM terminology
Native integrations cannot be migrated and must be rebuilt
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 contract timeline review
We audit the source Prospect CRM portal for record counts (Contacts, Companies, Deals, Problem Pipeline records, Activities), custom field definitions (field type, required/optional status, dropdown values), active RFM segmentation assignments, and any integration connections. We also surface the contract end date and 90-day cancellation notice window so the customer can plan the cutover to avoid paying for unused months. The discovery output is a written migration scope with record counts, a preliminary object mapping, and a contract-timing recommendation.
Schema design and Problem Pipeline mapping
We design the destination schema in Twenty CRM. This includes creating custom fields on Person (for RFM segments and any Prospect contact custom fields), Company, and Opportunity. We make an explicit decision on Problem Pipelines: map to Twenty Tasks with a custom problem_type__c label for standard volumes, or create a custom Problem object if the customer has over 500 active problem records and wants to report on them separately. Pipeline stage definitions from Prospect CRM are configured in Twenty with stage order and probability percentages preserved. Schema is validated in Twenty's sandbox or test environment before any data loads.
Sandbox migration and reconciliation
We run a full migration into a Twenty CRM test workspace using production-like data volume. The customer's RevOps lead reconciles record counts (Persons in, Companies in, Opportunities in, Tasks in), spot-checks 25-50 random records against the Prospect CRM source, and validates that linked records (Person to Company, Opportunity to Person and Company) resolved correctly. Any mapping corrections happen in the sandbox, not in production. This step also validates that custom field types (dropdown values, date formats, number validation) match expectations.
Attachment audit and re-upload planning
We extract every file attachment referenced in Prospect CRM, list it with its parent record (Deal, Contact, Problem) and file metadata (name, size, format). We deliver a structured attachment inventory so the customer's admin can re-upload files to Twenty's document storage or a linked file service post-migration. Files are not migrated automatically due to Twenty's CSV export limitation. We also flag any attachments over 10MB or in formats Twenty does not support for manual review.
Production migration in dependency order
We run production migration in record-dependency order: Companies first (as parent records), then Persons (with companyId resolved), then Opportunities (with personId and companyId resolved), then Tasks (with activity records and Problem Pipeline records mapped to the correct category), then Products, then custom field values. Each phase emits a row-count reconciliation report before the next phase begins. We use Twenty's GraphQL API for inserts with batch chunking and error logging to catch individual record failures without halting the migration.
Cutover, validation, and rebuild handoff
We freeze Prospect CRM writes during the cutover window, run a final delta migration of any records modified during the migration, then enable Twenty CRM as the system of record. We deliver the integration reconnection checklist (for any back-office systems the customer continues to use), the automation inventory (for workflows and sequences that require manual rebuild in Twenty), and the attachment re-upload checklist. We support a 72-hour hypercare window where we resolve any data issues raised by the customer's team. We do not rebuild Prospect CRM workflows or automations inside the migration scope.
