Overview
RedEye is a B2C lifecycle marketing automation platform centred on Contacts, Campaigns, Journeys, and behavioural Events, priced by contact database size with a hard ceiling at 150,000 records on the Essentials tier. Twenty CRM is an open-source, self-hostable CRM built in TypeScript with a People-Company-Opportunity-Activity schema that prioritises data ownership over platform lock-in. The migration from RedEye to Twenty is a category crossing: RedEye's campaign and journey model does not have a direct equivalent in Twenty's opportunity pipeline, so we transform campaign records into a structured Opportunity template and deliver the journey logic as a documented rule set for manual rebuild in Twenty's workflow builder. We migrate all contact attributes, company associations, product catalogue records, and historical event logs, and we flag dashboard and automation gaps during scoping rather than discovering them post-cutover.
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 RedEye 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.
RedEye
Contact
Twenty CRM
People
1:1RedEye Contact records map directly to Twenty People. The unified customer profile with behavioural enrichment migrates as a People record with all standard properties (name, email, phone, address) preserved. RedEye's lifecycle stage property is stored as a custom field lifecycle_stage__c on People for audit and segmentation continuity. Company linkage from RedEye's lighter-weight B2C model maps to a Twenty Company lookup on People.
RedEye
Company
Twenty CRM
Company
1:1RedEye Company associations (lighter-weight than enterprise CRM models) map to Twenty Company records. The domain from RedEye's company domain field becomes the Company website field. We create Company records before People import so that the People-Company lookup relationship is satisfied at the moment of People insert.
RedEye
Campaign
Twenty CRM
Opportunity
1:manyRedEye Campaign records transform into Twenty Opportunity records with campaign metadata preserved in custom fields. Each RedEye campaign becomes an Opportunity with the campaign name, channel assignments, and timing rules stored as Opportunity properties. Campaign goals and metrics migrate to custom Opportunity fields. Note that Twenty's pipeline stages (qualified, proposal, negotiation, closed-won, closed-lost) require a mapping session with the customer to align RedEye campaign statuses to appropriate Twenty stage values.
RedEye
Campaign
Twenty CRM
Task
1:manyRedEye campaign-level goals, milestones, and performance metrics that do not fit the Opportunity object model migrate as Task records linked to the parent Opportunity. This preserves campaign KPI data without forcing it into fields that have no natural home in Twenty's schema.
RedEye
Customer Journey
Twenty CRM
Workflow (documented for rebuild)
lossyRedEye's visual journey builder stores workflow definitions in a proprietary format that cannot be exported and re-imported. We extract the complete journey tree structure (triggers, conditions, branches, delays, actions) as a structured rule document with decision trees mapped to Twenty's workflow trigger conditions. The customer uses this document to rebuild journey logic manually in Twenty's workflow builder. We do not migrate journey definitions as code.
RedEye
Event
Twenty CRM
Activity
1:1RedEye behavioural events (website actions, email opens, purchase triggers, custom events) migrate as Twenty Activity records with the event type, timestamp, and contact association preserved. Events that represent completed tasks (purchase, form submission) map to Task records; events that represent tracked interactions (email open, page view) map to Note records with event metadata in the body for timeline reconstruction.
RedEye
Product Record
Twenty CRM
Custom Object (Product)
1:1RedEye product catalogue records (SKU, name, pricing, category) migrate to a Twenty Custom Object named Product. We pre-create the Product custom object schema in Twenty before import, including all product fields. Product associations from RedEye campaign or journey contexts migrate as lookups to the Product custom object.
RedEye
Channel
Twenty CRM
Custom Fields (configuration documented)
lossyRedEye supports email plus up to eight additional channels per campaign. Channel assignments are documented as custom field metadata on the Campaign-to-Opportunity migration. Any channels not natively represented in Twenty (such as push notifications, SMS, or specific digital channels) are flagged for manual configuration post-migration.
RedEye
Custom Field
Twenty CRM
Custom Field
1:1RedEye custom contact and event fields require explicit field-to-field mapping during scoping. We extract the full field schema from RedEye, match each field to an equivalent Twenty custom field (created in Settings before import), and apply any format transformations (date formats, phone number normalisation, picklist mapping). Fields must exist in Twenty before CSV import begins.
RedEye
Segment
Twenty CRM
Filter (documented for rebuild)
lossyRedEye dynamic segments based on behavioural rules and demographic criteria are exported as structured rule sets. We deliver a segment definition document with the filter logic (field, operator, value) that the customer's admin rebuilds in Twenty using Twenty's filter and view system. Active segment membership (the list of contacts currently in each segment) is not migratable; only the segment rule definition is preserved.
RedEye
Tag
Twenty CRM
Tag
1:1RedEye contact and campaign tags migrate as a flat tag array on the target record. We map tag names exactly and flag any tag characters (special characters, spaces, non-ASCII) that conflict with Twenty's tag schema. Tags used for campaign classification migrate as tags on the related Opportunity; tags used for contact classification migrate as tags on People.
RedEye
Attachment
Twenty CRM
File
1:1Campaign assets (images, documents) attached to RedEye campaigns or emails migrate via file export and re-upload. We preserve the file hierarchy and naming conventions to minimise manual re-linking. Individual file attachments on contact records migrate as Files attached to the People record via Twenty's file linking system.

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.
RedEye gotchas
Contact database size limits differ by pricing tier
Campaign journey logic does not export as a portable schema
Reports and dashboards are not exportable
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 source RedEye portal across tier (Essentials/Elevate), contact count, active campaigns, journey definitions, event log volume, custom fields, segments, and product catalogue. We pair this with a Twenty CRM workspace assessment: self-hosted or cloud-hosted, existing schema (custom objects, custom fields, pipeline stages), and user count. The discovery output is a written migration scope document with record counts per object, a journey rebuild inventory, and a dashboard rebuild inventory. This document defines the migration boundary—what migrates automatically and what requires manual rebuild.
Workspace preparation in Twenty
We configure the Twenty workspace before any data import. This includes creating all required custom fields on People, Company, and Opportunity objects; pre-creating the Product custom object if the product catalogue is in scope; setting up pipeline stage values that map to RedEye campaign statuses; and inviting all team members who will be referenced as record owners. Fields must exist in Twenty before CSV import begins—this is a Twenty platform requirement that we satisfy proactively rather than discover during import.
Schema mapping and transformation design
We design the mapping between RedEye's schema and Twenty's schema. The core transformation is RedEye Contact to Twenty People, RedEye Company to Twenty Company, and RedEye Campaign to Twenty Opportunity with campaign metadata in custom fields. We design the journey rule document format and the segment definition document format during this phase. The mapping document is reviewed by the customer's admin before any extraction from RedEye begins.
Sandbox migration and reconciliation
We run a full migration into a Twenty staging environment using production-like data volume. The customer's team reconciles record counts (People in, Companies in, Opportunities in, Activities in), spot-checks 25-50 random records against the RedEye source, and validates that the custom field data is correctly formatted in Twenty. Any mapping corrections or field type adjustments happen here before production migration begins.
Production migration in dependency order
We run production migration in record-dependency order: Companies (first, as they are referenced by People), People (with CompanyId resolved), Opportunities (with contact lookups and custom field data), Activities and Events (as Tasks and Notes), Product records (as custom objects), Tags (as tag arrays on target records). Each phase emits a row-count reconciliation report before the next phase begins. We freeze RedEye writes during the final cutover window and run a delta migration of any records modified during the window before declaring completion.
Cutover, validation, and rebuild handoff
We enable Twenty as the system of record after the final delta migration. We deliver the journey rebuild document (structured rule sets for manual rebuild in Twenty's workflow builder), the segment rebuild document (filter logic for manual rebuild in Twenty's filter system), and the dashboard rebuild inventory (underlying data with the fields and record sets required for each report). We support a one-week hypercare window for reconciliation issues. We do not rebuild RedEye journeys, segments, or reports as part of the migration scope; those are delivered as documented specifications for the customer's admin to implement.
