Overview
Moving from Ready_ to Twenty CRM is a platform upgrade for teams that have outgrown the entry-level CRM tier but want to stay outside enterprise-scale SaaS pricing. Ready_ stores Contacts, Companies, Deals, and Activity touchpoints with owner assignments by internal Team Member ID and no documented bulk export endpoint. We extract via sequential REST reads in batches of 200, resolve Team Member IDs to email addresses for owner reconciliation, and import into Twenty through its GraphQL API. Pipeline and stage names from Ready_ require explicit mapping because Ready_ allows fully custom naming. We do not migrate automations or workflows; Ready_'s workflow configuration has no direct Twenty equivalent, so we deliver a written inventory for the customer's admin to rebuild post-migration. Twenty's AGPL-3.0 self-hosted option is free forever, removing recurring per-seat costs entirely.
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 Ready_ 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.
Ready_
Contact
Twenty CRM
Person
1:1Ready_ Contacts map to Twenty's Person object. Standard fields (name, email, phone, address) migrate directly. Custom properties on Ready_ Contacts (text, number, date, picklist) map to matching Twenty custom fields, which we pre-create via the Twenty Metadata API before record import. The Person object in Twenty also stores avatar, job title, and LinkedIn URL where those fields exist in Ready_.
Ready_
Company
Twenty CRM
Company
1:1Ready_ Company records map to Twenty Company. The domain field from Ready_ maps to Twenty's website URL, and the company name is the dedupe key during import. Industry, employee count, and annual revenue custom fields migrate as Twenty custom fields. Related contacts are linked via the Person-Company association in Twenty after both objects are created.
Ready_
Deal
Twenty CRM
Opportunity
1:1Ready_ Deals map to Twenty Opportunity. The deal value, expected close date, and owner migrate directly. Pipeline and Stage assignment requires the explicit mapping table built during scoping because Ready_ allows fully custom pipeline and stage names with no enforced convention. Closed-Lost and Closed-Won statuses from Ready_ map to Twenty's Opportunity status values.
Ready_
Pipeline Stage
Twenty CRM
Opportunity Stage
lossyEach named Pipeline and Stage in Ready_ becomes a stage row in Twenty's Opportunity pipeline. We extract the stage name, sequence order, and any custom probability values during scoping, then configure the matching Twenty pipeline before migration. Stage ordering is preserved by setting the sort order value in Twenty.
Ready_
Pipeline
Twenty CRM
Pipeline
lossyIf the Ready_ account uses multiple named Pipelines, we create a corresponding number of Pipelines in Twenty and map each one explicitly. Ready_ pipeline assignment on each Deal is resolved to the correct Twenty Pipeline ID during import using the mapping table built during scoping.
Ready_
Activity
Twenty CRM
Timeline Entry
1:1Ready_ Activities (calls, emails, tasks) map to Twenty Timeline Entries linked to the Person or Opportunity record. Activity type from Ready_ maps to the type discriminator in Twenty's timeline schema. Timestamps and notes content preserve; activity owner migrates via email-to-User resolution. Activity types in Ready_ may not map 1:1 to Twenty's event types, so we document the mapping and supply type placeholders for any unmapped activity kinds.
Ready_
Note
Twenty CRM
Timeline Entry
1:1Ready_ Notes attached to Contacts or Deals migrate as Twenty Timeline Entries with the note body in the content field and the linked Person or Opportunity as the parent. We resolve the linked record type and ID at migration time to ensure the note appears in the correct timeline in Twenty.
Ready_
Team Member
Twenty CRM
User
1:1Ready_ Team Members represent users and are referenced by internal ID on Deals, Activities, and Notes. We extract all Team Member IDs, resolve them to email addresses, and match those emails to existing Twenty User records. Any Team Member without a matching Twenty User enters a reconciliation queue for the customer's admin to provision before record import resumes. Owner assignments on migrated records resolve to the Twenty User ID.
Ready_
Custom Field
Twenty CRM
Custom Field
lossyReady_ custom fields on Contacts, Companies, and Deals (text, number, date, picklist) map to Twenty custom fields of the equivalent type. We pre-create the custom field definitions in Twenty via the Metadata API before any records are imported, ensuring the target schema exists before data is written. Picklist values from Ready_ migrate as select options in Twenty.
Ready_
Custom Object
Twenty CRM
Custom Object
1:1If the Ready_ account uses the maximum custom field allowance and requires standalone related-record structures, Twenty's custom object model provides this natively. We create the equivalent custom object in Twenty with the same field types and lookup relationships, then migrate any associated records. This step requires schema design during scoping and is scoped separately from the core object migration.

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.
Ready_ gotchas
No documented bulk export endpoint
Pipeline and stage names require explicit mapping
Owner assignments rely on Team Member IDs that do not persist across systems
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 scoping
We audit the Ready_ account via API across all object types (Contacts, Companies, Deals, Activities, Notes), custom field definitions, pipeline and stage configuration, and Team Member roster. We inventory the distinct record counts per object, identify any custom field types and picklist values, and collect the full pipeline and stage naming configuration. This audit produces a written migration scope document that includes the record count, custom field list, pipeline map, and a migration timeline estimate.
Batched extraction from Ready_ API
We extract data from Ready_ using sequential REST API reads in batches of 200 records per request. Extraction follows dependency order: Team Members (for owner email resolution), Companies, Contacts, Deals (with pipeline and stage assignment), and Activities. Pagination tokens are tracked per object type to handle timeouts gracefully. Each extraction batch is written to a staged JSON artifact with a reconciliation count before moving to the next object.
Twenty schema provisioning
Before any records are written to Twenty, we pre-create the target schema via the Twenty Metadata API or direct API calls. This includes configuring the pipeline and stage rows matching the Ready_ pipeline map, creating custom fields (with type mapping from Ready_'s field types), and provisioning any custom objects if the scope includes them. We validate the schema in a staging Twenty instance before proceeding to record import.
Owner reconciliation
We extract every Team Member ID referenced on Deals, Activities, and Notes, resolve to email addresses from the Team Member records, and match by email against the Twenty User table. Any Team Member without a matching Twenty User is added to a reconciliation queue with instructions for the customer's admin to provision the corresponding User in Twenty. Migration cannot proceed past Deal import because Opportunity ownerId references are required for valid record creation.
Record import in dependency order
We import records into Twenty in dependency order: Companies first (as standalone objects), then Persons (with CompanyId resolved), then Opportunities (with CompanyId, pipelineId, stageId, and OwnerId resolved), then Timeline Entries (Activities and Notes with PersonId or OpportunityId resolved). Import uses the Twenty GraphQL API with batch mutation requests, exponential backoff on rate-limit responses, and row-count reconciliation after each phase. Custom fields are populated in the same mutation calls once schema pre-creation is confirmed.
Cutover, validation, and workflow inventory delivery
We freeze writes in Ready_ during the cutover window, run a delta import for any records modified during migration, then mark Twenty as the system of record. We deliver a reconciliation report comparing source record counts to destination record counts per object. We provide a written inventory of any Ready_ workflows or automations with their trigger, conditions, and actions, with recommended Twenty workflow equivalents for the customer's admin to rebuild. We do not rebuild automations as part of standard migration scope.
