Overview

What this migration involves

Moving from RAYNET CRM to Twenty CRM is a schema-first migration. RAYNET stores Contacts, Companies, Deals, Activities, Sales Orders, and Quotes with GPS coordinates auto-derived from addresses for its Map Analysis feature; Twenty uses People, Companies, Opportunities, Tasks, and Notes with a deliberately minimal standard field set that requires custom fields to be created before any import. We extract the full RAYNET custom field schema, pre-create matching Twenty fields in Settings, then sequence parent records before children using Twenty's REST API with rate-limit handling and exponential backoff. RAYNET Automation rules (Builder and Architect tiers) do not migrate; we deliver a written inventory of every active automation so your admin can rebuild them in Twenty's Workflows module. Attachments migrate via XLSX export re-upload using record ID cross-references, and GPS coordinates transfer as custom text fields since Twenty does not have a native Map Analysis equivalent.

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

RAYNET CRM logo

RAYNET CRM

What's pushing teams away

  • Reporting and analytics remain basic compared to HubSpot or Salesforce, frustrating managers who need custom dashboards or revenue forecasting.
  • Integrations beyond Zapier and calendar sync are limited, creating friction for teams with established tool stacks outside the CRM.
  • Automation capabilities plateau at the Architect tier, pushing scaling teams toward platforms with more powerful workflow engines.
  • Custom fields and custom objects are less flexible than competing CRMs, limiting adaptation for non-standard sales motions.
  • Global feature parity concerns as the product expands internationally, with some users noting localization gaps in non-English markets.

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 RAYNET CRM objects map to Twenty CRM

Each row shows how a RAYNET 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.

RAYNET CRM

Contact

maps to

Twenty CRM

Person (People)

1:1
Fully supported

RAYNET Contacts map directly to Twenty People records. Standard fields (name, email, phone, address) map 1:1. RAYNET's lifecycle stage property maps to a custom select field in Twenty that we pre-create during schema setup. GPS coordinates derived from contact addresses for RAYNET Map Analysis transfer as two custom number fields (latitude, longitude) since Twenty has no native map analysis feature.

RAYNET CRM

Account (Company)

maps to

Twenty CRM

Company

1:1
Fully supported

RAYNET Accounts map to Twenty Companies. The Account name becomes Company name, and contact address fields map to Twenty's company address fields. We migrate Account-Contact relationships by importing Companies first, then resolving the main contact lookup during People import using RAYNET's primary contact reference.

RAYNET CRM

Deal

maps to

Twenty CRM

Opportunity

1:1
Fully supported

RAYNET Deals map to Twenty Opportunities with deal value, probability, owner, and estimated close date preserved. Pipeline stage names from RAYNET map to Twenty opportunity stage values that we configure before migration. Closed-won and closed-lost reasons from RAYNET custom fields become custom text fields on the Twenty Opportunity.

RAYNET CRM

Pipeline Stage

maps to

Twenty CRM

Opportunity Stage

lossy
Fully supported

Each RAYNET pipeline (START/PROFESSIONAL: single; ENTERPRISE: multiple) becomes a Twenty opportunity stage configuration. Stage names, order, and probabilities extract from RAYNET's pipeline settings and map to Twenty stage values in Settings. If RAYNET uses multiple pipelines on ENTERPRISE, we create Twenty stage groups or use custom select fields to preserve the multi-pipeline structure.

RAYNET CRM

Activity (Call, Email, Meeting)

maps to

Twenty CRM

Task or Note

1:1
Fully supported

RAYNET Activities map to Twenty Tasks (for calls and tasks) or Notes (for email body and meeting details). Call duration and disposition from RAYNET map to custom number and select fields on the Twenty Task. Meeting timestamps and attendee information map to Note body with structured content. Activity links to Contacts and Accounts preserve via Twenty's relation system.

RAYNET CRM

Sales Order

maps to

Twenty CRM

Custom Object (SalesOrder)

lossy
Fully supported

Twenty does not have a native Sales Order object. We create a Twenty Custom Object named SalesOrder with fields for Subject, Final Price, Status, Estimated Costs, Delivery Date, and address fields. The object and all fields are pre-created in Twenty Settings before data import. We link SalesOrder to the parent Opportunity via Twenty's custom relationship field.

RAYNET CRM

Quote

maps to

Twenty CRM

Custom Object (Quote)

lossy
Fully supported

RAYNET Quotes (with validity dates and line-item pricing linked to Deals and Accounts) map to a Twenty Custom Object named Quote. Validity dates and pricing fields transfer to custom fields on the Quote object. Quote PDFs do not migrate as native files; we document the source Quote ID so the customer's admin can re-attach documents post-migration.

RAYNET CRM

User / Owner

maps to

Twenty CRM

Member

1:1
Fully supported

RAYNET Users map to Twenty Members. We match by email address. Any RAYNET Owner without a matching Twenty Member goes to a reconciliation queue for the customer to provision before record import resumes. Twenty's documentation explicitly requires users to exist before import because Owner references cannot map without a destination User ID.

RAYNET CRM

Custom Field

maps to

Twenty CRM

Custom Field

lossy
Fully supported

RAYNET custom fields on Contacts, Accounts, Deals, and Activities extract via XLSX export and schema review. We create equivalent Twenty custom fields in Settings before any import. Field types map: RAYNET text to Twenty text, number to number, date to date, select to select, multi-select to multi-select. Multi-select picklist options must match exactly or the import rejects those values.

RAYNET CRM

Attachment

maps to

Twenty CRM

File (re-upload)

1:1
Fully supported

Files attached to RAYNET Contacts, Accounts, Deals, and Activities export via XLSX export with record cross-references. We do not migrate attachments directly through API because RAYNET's attachment storage format is not publicly documented. We re-upload attachments to Twenty using the source record's Twenty ID mapping, re-associated manually or via batch file upload with the cross-reference manifest.

RAYNET CRM

Tag

maps to

Twenty CRM

Custom Select or Multi-Select Field

lossy
Fully supported

RAYNET Tags on Contacts and Deals migrate as label arrays into a Twenty custom multi-select field. If the customer uses tags for content classification, we recommend a Twenty custom select field with tag values as options. The customer chooses tag strategy during scoping.

Pair-specific challenges

  • Twenty requires field pre-creation before any import

    Twenty's CSV import creates records but not fields. The platform ships with minimal standard fields on People and Companies objects, requiring teams to create basic fields (job title, department, website, industry, employee count) before data can land correctly. We create every required custom field in Settings before migration begins, but this adds a mandatory pre-import configuration step. GitHub issue #13953 documents user frustration with this onboarding friction. RAYNET customers accustomed to custom fields being immediately available on Contacts and Accounts should expect 30-60 minutes of Twenty field creation before the first import can run.

  • RAYNET Automation rules do not export or migrate

    RAYNET Automation Builder and Architect rules (conditions, triggers, and actions) are stored in a platform-specific format with no documented export endpoint. We identify active automations by reviewing RAYNET's Automation settings and deliver a written inventory with each rule's trigger, conditions, and actions documented for manual rebuild in Twenty's Workflows module. Skipping this step leaves business processes unautomated in Twenty. Workflows, automation runs, and rule logic do not transfer as code to any destination platform.

  • GPS coordinates from RAYNET Map Analysis have no Twenty equivalent

    RAYNET auto-derives GPS latitude and longitude from contact addresses for its Map Analysis geographic visualization. Twenty has no native map analysis or geolocation feature. We preserve GPS coordinates as custom number fields (latitude and longitude) on the People object, but the geographic visualization itself does not migrate. Customers relying on RAYNET's Map Analysis for territory management or geographic reporting should treat this as a gap to address through a separate business intelligence or mapping tool post-migration.

  • RAYNET API rate limits may require XLSX fallback for large migrations

    RAYNET's base API rate limits are not publicly documented but can be increased in blocks of 10,000 requests per day for $50/month. For migrations over 50,000 records, we coordinate with the customer to add API capacity or use XLSX export as a fallback data source and process via Twenty's CSV import. RAYNET's official price list confirms the API add-on is a billed extra. We monitor API response headers during migration to detect throttling and switch to XLSX fallback if response codes indicate limit enforcement.

  • Multi-pipeline RAYNET ENTERPRISE customers must resolve excess pipelines

    RAYNET allows multiple pipelines on the Enterprise tier only. On START and PROFESSIONAL tiers, customers are constrained to a single pipeline. If a customer on START or PROFESSIONAL has inadvertently created multiple pipelines, we flag the excess pipelines during scoping and negotiate scope before import to avoid silent truncation. For ENTERPRISE customers with legitimately multiple pipelines, we map each RAYNET pipeline to a Twenty stage group or custom select field, documenting the structure for the customer's admin to validate.

Migration approach

Six steps for a successful RAYNET CRM to Twenty CRM data migration

  1. Discovery and schema audit

    We audit RAYNET across tier (START/PROFESSIONAL/ENTERPRISE), custom field schemas on Contacts, Accounts, Deals, and Activities, pipeline count and stage configurations, active Automation rules, engagement volume, and API access status. We pair this with a Twenty workspace readiness check: verifying that all required fields exist or will be created. The discovery output is a written migration scope document listing all objects, custom fields, pipelines, and automations requiring attention.

  2. Twenty field pre-creation and workspace setup

    We create all required Twenty custom fields in Settings before any data import. This includes custom fields for lifecycle stage, GPS coordinates (latitude/longitude), closed-won/lost reasons, call duration, activity type, and any RAYNET custom field equivalents. Twenty's documentation requires fields to exist before import; we treat field creation as a prerequisite step. We also invite all team members as Twenty Members so that Owner references can resolve during record import.

  3. Pipeline and stage configuration

    We extract the full RAYNET pipeline stage configuration (stage names, order, probabilities) and map it to Twenty opportunity stages. For RAYNET ENTERPRISE customers with multiple pipelines, we design a Twenty stage structure that preserves pipeline context using custom select fields or stage groupings. Stage configuration deploys to Twenty before record migration begins.

  4. Automation inventory and documentation

    We review RAYNET's Automation settings and document every active Automation rule with its trigger, conditions, and actions. This inventory is delivered as a written document to the customer's admin with recommended Twenty Workflow equivalents. Automations do not migrate as code; this documentation enables the admin to rebuild in Twenty's Workflows module post-migration.

  5. Production migration in dependency order

    We run production migration in record-dependency order: Members (user provisioning validated), Companies (from RAYNET Accounts), People (with main contact lookup resolved to Company), Opportunities (with stage and owner resolved), Custom Objects (SalesOrder and Quote with parent Opportunity lookups), Activities (Tasks and Notes linked to People and Companies), and Attachments (via XLSX re-upload with cross-reference manifest). Each phase emits a row-count reconciliation report before the next phase begins.

  6. Cutover, validation, and automation rebuild handoff

    We freeze RAYNET writes during cutover, run a final delta migration of records modified during the migration window, then enable Twenty as the system of record. We deliver the Automation inventory document to the customer's admin team with Twenty Workflow rebuild guidance. We support a one-week post-go-live window where we resolve reconciliation issues. We do not rebuild RAYNET automations as Twenty Workflows inside the migration scope; that is a separate engagement.

Platform deep dives

Context on both ends of the pair

Source

Strengths

  • Per-user pricing model that does not scale with contact volume, providing cost predictability for SMB teams.
  • Clean, intuitive interface with high user adoption rates reported across verified review platforms.
  • Map Analysis feature auto-derives GPS coordinates from contact addresses for geographic visualization.
  • Automation tiers (Builder/Architect) offer workflow automation without requiring developer resources.
  • 30-day free trial with no credit card required for initial evaluation.

Weaknesses

  • Basic reporting and analytics compared to enterprise CRM platforms, limiting advanced forecasting capabilities.
  • Limited native integrations beyond Zapier, requiring custom development for most third-party tool connections.
  • Automation complexity caps out at the Architect tier, pushing scaling teams to evaluate alternatives.
  • Custom object flexibility is constrained relative to Salesforce or HubSpot, limiting adaptation for niche sales motions.
  • Pricing varies across review aggregators, making it difficult to confirm exact current tier features without direct vendor confirmation.

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.
