Overview
Rubi CRM to Twenty CRM is a structural migration that moves membership-vertical data into an open-source, self-hosted CRM with a modern TypeScript stack and a REST and GraphQL API at $9 per user per month. Rubi CRM's distinct Member and Membership record types, its Event and Training booking module, and its Kanban sales pipeline require explicit mapping to Twenty's standard Company, People, Opportunity, and custom object model. The primary constraint is Rubi CRM's gated API documentation and the absence of a public export endpoint — migrations depend on the customer providing usable CSV exports from Rubi CRM's reporting module, which produces flat snapshots rather than relational data. We map membership status and tier to Twenty custom fields, link Events and Training bookings to the originating Contact, and deliver a written pipeline and automation inventory for re-creation in Twenty's workflow builder. Views, permissions, and automations do not migrate as code.
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 Rubi 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.
Rubi CRM
Contact
Twenty CRM
People
1:1Rubi CRM Contacts map directly to Twenty People. Standard fields (name, email, phone, address) migrate 1:1. We preserve any Rubi CRM custom contact properties as custom fields in Twenty's Data Model (Settings → Data Model). The People record is created before any related Membership or Event booking import so that lookup relationships resolve at the moment of insert.
Rubi CRM
Company
Twenty CRM
Company
1:1Rubi CRM Company records map directly to Twenty Company. The Company-Contact relationship migrates as a name-matched lookup: we use Rubi CRM's company name as the dedupe key during Twenty Company import and link it to the related People record by email domain match where no explicit foreign key exists in the export.
Rubi CRM
Member
Twenty CRM
Member (custom object)
lossyRubi CRM's Member record type has no direct Twenty equivalent — it is a distinct entity tied to the membership module. We create a custom object named Member in Twenty (API name Member__c) with custom fields for member_id (text), membership_status (select), membership_tier (select), and renewal_date (date). The custom object must be created in Settings → Data Model before the CSV import runs, per Twenty's import requirement.
Rubi CRM
Membership
Twenty CRM
Member Subscription (custom object)
1:1Rubi CRM Membership records track individual subscriptions against Member profiles. We map start_date, end_date, and tier_name to custom fields on a Member_Subscription__c custom object in Twenty with a lookup to Member__c. Rubi CRM does not export full subscription history in a single pass — we request separate export runs from the Membership module for each renewal period and combine them during the transform phase.
Rubi CRM
Events and Training
Twenty CRM
Event (custom object)
1:manyRubi CRM Events and Training bookings are objects with seat-level attendance data. We create an Event__c custom object in Twenty with fields for event_name, event_date, booking_status, and a lookup to the originating Rubi CRM Contact or Member. Rubi CRM requires a separate export run from the Events module for seat-level attendance data — we request this explicitly during scoping. Events are imported after People so that the Contact lookup resolves correctly.
Rubi CRM
Sales Pipeline (Kanban stages)
Twenty CRM
Opportunity + custom stage field
lossyRubi CRM uses a Kanban-style pipeline view with user-defined stage names stored as custom fields against deal records, not as a native pipeline object. We extract the distinct stage values from Rubi CRM during the scoping call, create a custom Opportunity stage field in Twenty (e.g., opportunity_stage__c as a select), and populate it from the Rubi CRM deal export. The pipeline Kanban view itself must be re-created manually in Twenty's view builder post-migration.
Rubi CRM
Deal
Twenty CRM
Opportunity
1:1Rubi CRM deal records (the underlying records under the Kanban view) map to Twenty Opportunity. Deal name, amount, expected close date, and owner migrate 1:1. The stage value migrates to the custom opportunity_stage__c field described above. Owner resolution is by email match against Twenty Members.
Rubi CRM
Activities (email interactions)
Twenty CRM
Task
1:1Email interactions logged via the Rubi CRM Outlook plugin are stored as Activities linked to Contacts. We export activity timestamps, subject, and body text as a flat export. These map to Twenty Task records linked to the related People record. Thread-level email threading from the original message is not preserved in the flat export. We flag this limitation in the migration report.
Rubi CRM
Tasks
Twenty CRM
Task
1:1Rubi CRM Tasks (owner, due date, status) migrate directly to Twenty Task. Owner assignment migrates by resolving Rubi CRM username to Twenty Member by email match. Completed status maps directly; open tasks retain their original due date and priority.
Rubi CRM
Custom Fields
Twenty CRM
Custom Fields
lossyRubi CRM allows custom fields per record type but does not expose a schema endpoint. We discover custom field names during the export scoping phase by requesting the full field list from the Rubi CRM export interface. We then pre-create matching custom fields in Twenty's Data Model (Settings → Data Model) before any CSV import begins. Type mapping is done by inspecting the Rubi CRM export data: date fields become date fields, select options become select fields, and text fields become text fields.

Platform-specific issues from each side, plus the pair-specific challenges that don't show up on either platform's page on its own.
Rubi CRM gotchas
Pipeline stages are stored as user-defined custom field values, not a native pipeline object
Outlook plugin does not preserve email thread continuity
Memberships and Events require separate export passes
Acquisition by Sapling Multi Ventures introduces roadmap uncertainty
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

Migration approach
Discovery and export scoping
We audit the customer's Rubi CRM instance across record types in scope: Contacts, Companies, Members, Memberships, Events/Training, Deals, Activities, and Tasks. We identify the export mechanisms available for each module and request the full field list from Rubi CRM's export interface. For the Kanban pipeline, we ask the customer to document their stage names and deal record fields during the scoping call. We extract distinct membership tier values from any available export for review against Twenty's select field options. The discovery output is a written migration scope, an export requirements checklist for the customer to fulfil, and a Twenty workspace preparation plan.
Twenty workspace preparation
Before any CSV import, we create the custom objects (Member__c, Member_Subscription__c, Event__c) and all required custom fields in the customer's Twenty workspace via Settings → Data Model. This includes membership_status__c, membership_tier__c, opportunity_stage__c, and any fields discovered during the Rubi CRM export scoping. We also invite all team members who will be referenced as record owners, per Twenty's requirement that users must exist before owner lookups can resolve. The workspace is prepared in the customer's production Twenty org or a designated sandbox environment.
Data export and cleaning
The customer exports data from Rubi CRM across all in-scope modules. We clean the export: removing duplicate records, standardizing date formats, normalizing phone numbers (watching for leading-zero stripping in spreadsheet exports), resolving Company name inconsistencies, and mapping membership tier strings to the agreed select options. We run a test import of a 10% sample into Twenty to validate field mapping before the full migration run.
Record import in dependency order
We import records into Twenty in dependency order: People first (standalone), then Companies (with name-based deduplication), then Members and Memberships (with Member__c lookups resolved), then Deals (mapped to Opportunity with custom stage field), then Events (linked to People), then Activities and Tasks (linked to People by email). Each phase emits a row-count reconciliation report. Owner resolution runs throughout: Hubspot Owner email matches against Twenty Member email to set the record owner. Any owner without a matching Twenty Member goes to a reconciliation queue for the customer to provision.
Cutover and automation inventory delivery
We freeze writes in Rubi CRM, run a final delta import for any records modified during the migration window, then mark Twenty as the system of record. We deliver a written automation and pipeline inventory: every Kanban stage, filter, and view configuration observed in Rubi CRM, documented for manual re-creation in Twenty's view builder; every automation or workflow rule observed, documented with its trigger, conditions, and actions for the customer's admin to rebuild in Twenty's workflow builder. We support a one-week hypercare window for reconciliation issues raised by the customer's team.
