Overview
Realvolve organizes real estate data around People, Companies, Properties, and Transactions, with a premium workflow engine that automates the listing-to-close lifecycle. Twenty CRM models data around People, Companies, and Opportunities with a more generic workflow builder. The migration carries all structured records — contacts, companies, property data, transaction history, tasks, and notes — into Twenty's object model. The core translation work happens in the property-to-custom-object mapping (since Twenty has no native real estate transaction object) and in preserving Realvolve's contact categories and transaction stage values as custom fields in Twenty. Workflows, email templates, and automation logic do not migrate; FlitStack exports workflow definitions as reference JSON so your admin can rebuild them. We extract data via Realvolve's API, resolve owner emails against Twenty workspace members, and load via Twenty's REST API using the documented import sequence: Companies first, then People with companyId, then Opportunities with companyId and personId, then custom objects.
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 Realvolve 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.
Realvolve
Contact (Person)
Twenty CRM
People
1:1Realvolve's contact records map directly to Twenty's People object. Every contact field — name, email, phone, address, job title — translates to the equivalent Twenty field. Contacts without a primary company land in Twenty with no companyId and are flagged for manual linking.
Realvolve
Company
Twenty CRM
Companies
1:1Realvolve company records map to Twenty's Companies object. Company name, domain, industry, employee count, and address fields translate directly. Parent-child company relationships in Realvolve map to Twenty's Parent CompanyId field where supported.
Realvolve
Transaction
Twenty CRM
Opportunities
1:1Realvolve Transactions become Twenty Opportunities. The transaction's deal value maps to opportunity amount, close date maps to the expected close date, and stage names map to Twenty's pipeline stage values. Transaction-specific fields (MLS number, listing status) migrate as custom fields on the Opportunity.
Realvolve
Property
Twenty CRM
Custom Object: Property
1:1Realvolve's Property object has no direct equivalent in Twenty. We create a Property custom object in Twenty with fields for address, MLS number, listing status, property type, and association to the seller/buyer People record. Property links to the Transaction Opportunity maintain the relationship chain.
Realvolve
Contact Category (A/B/C/D)
Twenty CRM
Custom Field on People
1:1Realvolve's contact grading system (A/B/C/D categories) has no Twenty equivalent. We migrate the category as a custom select field (Contact_Category__c) on the People object with the same A/B/C/D values preserved.
Realvolve
Task
Twenty CRM
Tasks
1:1Realvolve tasks map to Twenty Tasks with task title, body, due date, and assigned user preserved. Completed status and completion timestamps carry over. Tasks linked to specific contacts or transactions maintain their record associations in Twenty.
Realvolve
Note
Twenty CRM
Notes
1:1Realvolve notes migrate to Twenty Notes. Note body text, author, and create timestamp are preserved. Notes attached to contacts or transactions link to the corresponding People or Opportunity record via Twenty's relation system.
Realvolve
Workflow / Automation
Twenty CRM
Not migrated
1:1Realvolve workflow definitions are not exported via API in a portable format. FlitStack exports the workflow rule list and trigger/action definitions as a JSON reference file. Your Twenty admin rebuilds the automation logic in Twenty's workflow builder using this reference.
Realvolve
Attachment / File
Twenty CRM
Notes (with attachment)
1:1Realvolve file attachments on contacts, companies, or transactions are re-uploaded to Twenty. We attach them to the corresponding Note record or link via Twenty's attachment model. File size limits apply; files over 25MB are flagged for compression or external hosting.
Realvolve
Owner / User
Twenty CRM
WorkspaceMember
1:1Realvolve user accounts are resolved by email match against Twenty Workspace Members. Unmatched owners (e.g., inactive Realvolve users) are assigned to a fallback Twenty user. Role and permission sets differ between platforms and require manual reassignment in Twenty.
Realvolve
Transaction Stage
Twenty CRM
Opportunity Stage (custom)
1:1Realvolve transaction stages (Active Listing, Under Contract, Pending, Closed) map to Twenty opportunity stage values. We create a custom stage pipeline in Twenty matching Realvolve's lifecycle order. Stage probabilities are set per stage name based on your specified rules.
Realvolve
Contact Association (buyer/seller)
Twenty CRM
Opportunity Contact Role
1:1Realvolve links contacts to transactions as buyer or seller. These roles migrate as Opportunity Contact Roles in Twenty. Multiple contacts on one transaction maintain their role assignments as multiple Opportunity Contact Role records.

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.
Realvolve gotchas
No documented public REST API
Workflow structure requires destination-side rebuild
Merge field divergence by market
Top Producer export must be imported unedited
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
Audit and extract Realvolve data via API
FlitStack connects to Realvolve's REST API using your account credentials. We extract all standard objects — Contacts, Companies, Transactions, Properties, Tasks, and Notes — in their full field set. We also pull attachment metadata, owner records, and contact category assignments. Realvolve's API returns data in JSON; we normalize it into staging tables and run a data quality report identifying missing fields, duplicate records, and incomplete relationships before building the migration plan.
Build custom objects and fields in Twenty
Before data loads, FlitStack creates the Property custom object in your Twenty workspace with fields for address, MLS number, listing status, property type, bedrooms, and bathrooms. We also add custom fields on People (contact_category, original_create_date, source_id) and on Opportunities (mls_number, listing_status, original_create_date). Your Twenty workspace schema is ready before any record is loaded, ensuring fields exist at insert time.
Resolve owners and map contact categories
Realvolve user accounts are resolved against Twenty Workspace Members by email. Unmatched owners (e.g., inactive Realvolve users or contractors) are flagged before migration so your team assigns them to a fallback Twenty user. Contact A/B/C/D categories are mapped to the new Contact_Category__c custom field on People. Transaction stages are mapped to the custom opportunity pipeline stage values matching Realvolve's lifecycle order.
Load in correct order with foreign-key sequencing
FlitStack loads data into Twenty in the required sequence: Companies first (establishing the one-side of relationships), then People with companyId links, then Opportunities with both companyId and personId links, then the Property custom object linked to Opportunities, then Tasks and Notes. Each stage validates foreign keys before committing. We run field-level diffs on a sample of 100–500 records at each stage before committing the full load.
Run delta pickup and deliver workflow reference export
After the full load, we open a delta pickup window (24–48 hours) that captures any records modified in Realvolve during the cutover period. FlitStack delivers a JSON export of workflow rule definitions and screenshots of automation configurations as a rebuild reference for your Twenty admin. The migration audit log records every operation; one-click rollback is available for 72 hours post-migration if reconciliation identifies data integrity issues.
