Overview

What this migration involves

Moving from Sales Flow Technologies to Twenty CRM is a category transition: Sales Flow is an outreach sequencing tool built around LinkedIn automation, while Twenty CRM is a full relationship-management platform with native pipeline management, custom objects, and a workflow builder. We migrate the Contact and Company records that power your outreach, document your existing sequence step ordering and cadence timing, and recreate Prospect Lists as Tags in Twenty. We do not migrate Workflows or Sequences as executable automation because Sales Flow's conditional branching logic lives in application state inaccessible via export. We deliver a detailed Workflow Migration Summary documenting every conditional rule and step so your admin rebuilds them in Twenty. Campaign bundling, Inbox messages, and engagement activity stored in LinkedIn's infrastructure do not transfer.

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

Sales Flow Technologies

What's pushing teams away

  • LinkedIn policy enforcement has tightened, and teams report account restrictions or bans when automated actions exceed LinkedIn's comfort threshold.
  • Feature gating by plan tier means advanced analytics, white-label branding, and API access require upgrades that inflate the effective per-seat cost.
  • Occasional platform glitches disrupt active outreach sequences mid-campaign, creating gaps in prospect engagement timing.
  • Teams outgrow the tool when deal complexity increases, since Salesflow lacks native pipeline management, custom objects, or robust reporting beyond outreach metrics.

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 Sales Flow Technologies objects map to Twenty CRM

Each row shows how a Sales Flow Technologies 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.

Sales Flow Technologies

Contact

maps to

Twenty CRM

People

1:1
Fully supported

Sales Flow Contacts migrate to Twenty People. The CSV export provides name, email, phone, company, LinkedIn URL, and any custom fields. We map the source email address as the primary email field, phone as the phone field, and LinkedIn URL as a custom text field since Twenty's standard People object does not include a native LinkedIn URL field out of the box. Custom fields from Sales Flow require pre-creation in Twenty's data model via Settings → Data model before import.

Sales Flow Technologies

Company

maps to

Twenty CRM

Companies

1:1
Fully supported

Sales Flow stores company name and domain on the Contact record rather than as a separate Company object. We split these into Twenty's Companies object during transformation: the domain becomes the Website field on Companies, and company name becomes the Company Name field. The Company record is created before the linked People records so that the People-to-Company lookup is satisfied at insert time.

Sales Flow Technologies

Prospect List

maps to

Twenty CRM

Tag

lossy
Fully supported

Sales Flow Prospect Lists are named groupings of Contacts. Twenty CRM does not have a native list object, so we recreate list membership as Tags. Each Prospect List name becomes a Tag value, and we create a TagAssignment record linking each People record to its list membership. This requires creating a tagging strategy during scoping: if Contacts belong to multiple lists, they receive multiple Tag values.

Sales Flow Technologies

Outreach Sequence

maps to

Twenty CRM

Workflow + Note

1:1
Fully supported

Sequence step ordering and cadence timing (channel, template, delay days) migrate as structured metadata attached to a Note on the enrolled Contact record in Twenty. We document the sequence name, step number, channel (Email/LinkedIn/InMail), template reference, and inter-step delay in a machine-readable format so the admin can reconstruct it in Twenty's workflow builder. We do not create live automation from this data; the Workflow Migration Summary is the deliverable.

Sales Flow Technologies

Campaign

maps to

Twenty CRM

Workflow + Tag grouping

lossy
Fully supported

Sales Flow Campaigns bundle multiple Sequences under a single objective. We map Campaign name to a Twenty Workflow name and link the associated sequence Notes under the workflow record. A/B testing configurations and channel routing logic do not transfer and are documented in the Workflow Migration Summary as requiring manual rebuild.

Sales Flow Technologies

Engagement: Email

maps to

Twenty CRM

Task

1:1
Fully supported

Email engagement records from Sales Flow migrate to Twenty Task records with the channel type recorded in a custom field. The task title carries the email subject, body carries the email content, and the ActivityDate preserves the original send timestamp. If the original Sales Flow CSV export omits email body content (a known export limitation), we flag this during scoping and document it as a gap in the Workflow Migration Summary.

Sales Flow Technologies

Engagement: Call

maps to

Twenty CRM

Task (call subtype)

1:1
Fully supported

Call engagement records migrate to Twenty Task with a call-specific subtype field. Call duration and disposition from Sales Flow transfer to custom fields on the Task. We preserve the sequence step context (which sequence step triggered the call) in a custom field on the Task so the cadence relationship is visible in Twenty's activity timeline.

Sales Flow Technologies

Engagement: Meeting

maps to

Twenty CRM

Task

1:1
Fully supported

Meeting records from Sales Flow migrate to Twenty Task. The meeting title, date, and outcome transfer to the Task fields. Attendee resolution is limited by the CSV export scope; we match attendee emails against the imported People records and create Task relations where a match exists.

Sales Flow Technologies

Engagement: Note

maps to

Twenty CRM

Note

1:1
Fully supported

Notes in Sales Flow migrate to Twenty Note records linked to the associated People, Company, or Opportunity record. The Note body preserves rich text content. We resolve the parent record reference from the source data's contact association and link via Twenty's relation system.

Sales Flow Technologies

User Account

maps to

Twenty CRM

User

1:1
Fully supported

Sales Flow User accounts (Admin, Standard roles) map to Twenty User records. We match by email address. Any Sales Flow user referenced on Contacts or engagements without a matching Twenty User is held in a reconciliation queue for the customer's admin to provision before the People import completes.

Sales Flow Technologies

Analytics Metrics

maps to

Twenty CRM

Note (custom fields)

1:1
Mapping required

Per-sequence and per-step open rates, reply rates, and connection acceptance rates from Sales Flow export as a structured CSV report. We attach these as a Note on the relevant People record or create custom fields on the People object for key metrics (open rate, reply rate). The destination fields are advisory since Twenty's native reporting does not include equivalent outreach-performance metrics.

Sales Flow Technologies

Workflow (conditional logic)

maps to

Twenty CRM

Workflow Migration Summary

lossy
Fully supported

Sales Flow Workflow configurations (conditional branching rules like 'if no reply after 3 days, send template B') live in application state not exposed via CSV or API. We do not migrate them as executable automation. We produce a written Workflow Migration Summary documenting every workflow: trigger condition, conditional branches, step sequence, timing rules, and action types. This document serves as the blueprint for manual reconstruction in Twenty's workflow builder. This is the most common source of post-migration surprise and we flag it explicitly in the scoping phase.

Pair-specific challenges

  • Workflow logic does not transfer from Sales Flow

    Sales Flow's conditional workflow builder configurations (branch rules, delay timers, response-based routing, A/B test splits) are stored in application state and are not accessible via CSV export or API. We produce a written Workflow Migration Summary documenting every active workflow, its trigger, branches, steps, and timing so the customer's admin can rebuild it in Twenty's workflow builder. This manual rebuild work is not included in the migration scope and is the most significant post-migration effort item. Teams should budget two to four hours per workflow for reconstruction.

  • CSV export omits email body and truncates timestamps

    Sales Flow's standard CSV export does not include email body content and truncates or omits last-activity timestamps and sequence step completion times on Contact and Sequence enrollment records. We request the Advanced Analytics CSV export as a complement, which provides richer timestamp data, and merge the two datasets. If the customer is not on a plan that includes Advanced Analytics export, we flag the gap and document it in the migration report. Email body content gaps are noted as advisory only.

  • LinkedIn automation carries no equivalence in Twenty

    Sales Flow's core value proposition is LinkedIn connection automation and InMail sequencing. Twenty CRM has no native LinkedIn automation and no sequence engine. Teams moving to Twenty must either adopt a separate LinkedIn outreach tool (Sales Navigator, Phantombuster alternatives, or a dedicated sequence tool) or shift to manual outreach tracking logged as Tasks. We flag this gap during discovery and document it in the Workflow Migration Summary: every LinkedIn-automation step in a Sales Flow workflow requires a decision about replacement tooling.

  • Twenty lacks standard fields out of the box

    Twenty CRM's standard People and Companies objects ship with minimal default fields. Industry, employee count, annual revenue, multiple phone types, and LinkedIn URL are not included by default, requiring manual field creation before import mapping can complete. We pre-create the required custom fields in Twenty's data model via the Settings → Data model editor before the CSV import phase begins. This adds a setup step that teams migrating from HubSpot or Salesforce often underestimate.

  • API access requires non-Agency plan on source

    Sales Flow Technologies gates API access behind the Agency plan ($29.98/seat, 50-seat minimum). Teams on Basic, Starter, or Pro tiers must export via CSV only. We use the CSV endpoint for all non-Agency migrations. If the customer's export scope exceeds CSV row limits (typically 10,000-50,000 rows depending on plan), we split the export into multiple CSVs and merge them before transformation. We flag this during scoping.

Migration approach

Six steps for a successful Sales Flow Technologies to Twenty CRM data migration

  1. Discovery and export scoping

    We audit the Sales Flow account across plan tier (Basic through Enterprise), exported Contact volume, Prospect List count, active Sequences, active Campaigns, and engagement record counts. We determine whether the customer has Agency-tier API access or is limited to CSV export. We flag the Advanced Analytics CSV export requirement for timestamp-rich data and confirm which data points are available versus gated by plan tier. The discovery output is a written migration scope document specifying record counts per object, export method, and any data gaps that require manual remediation before import.

  2. Twenty workspace setup and schema preparation

    We configure the Twenty CRM workspace before any data import. This includes pre-creating custom fields on the People and Companies objects (LinkedIn URL, sequence step context, call disposition, outreach metric fields), setting up the Opportunities pipeline stages, and configuring the Tags taxonomy to match the source Prospect Lists. Twenty's data model editor (Settings → Data model) is used to add all required fields before import so that the CSV mapper can reference typed fields rather than creating new ones mid-migration.

  3. CSV export extraction and transformation

    We extract Contact, Company, Prospect List, Sequence enrollment, Campaign, and engagement data from Sales Flow via CSV. We merge the standard export with the Advanced Analytics CSV where available to reconstruct timestamps. We split the Contact-to-Company relationship into two separate objects (People and Companies) for Twenty's relational model. We transform Prospect List membership into Tag values and attach them to the relevant People records. Sequence step ordering is extracted as structured metadata for the Workflow Migration Summary. All transformation logic is documented in a data dictionary delivered alongside the migrated records.

  4. User reconciliation and provisioning

    We extract every distinct Sales Flow user referenced on Contacts and engagement records and match by email against the Twenty destination workspace's User table. Any Sales Flow user without a matching Twenty User is placed in a reconciliation queue. The customer's admin provisions any missing Users before record import begins. This step is required because People and Task records in Twenty carry an Owner reference that must resolve at insert time.

  5. Production migration in dependency order

    We run production migration in strict dependency order: Users (validated), Companies (from split Contact company data), People (with Company lookup resolved), Opportunities (with Account and Owner resolved), Tags (applied to People records after People import), Tasks (engagement history linked to People), and Notes (linked to People, Companies, or Opportunities). Each phase emits a row-count reconciliation report before the next phase begins. Any records rejected due to missing parent lookups are held in a quarantine queue and retried after the parent record is resolved.

  6. Cutover, validation, and Workflow Migration Summary delivery

    We freeze Sales Flow writes during the cutover window, run a final delta migration of any records modified during the migration, then enable Twenty CRM as the system of record. We validate 25-50 randomly sampled records against the source CSV export. We deliver the Workflow Migration Summary documenting every Sales Flow workflow, sequence step, and campaign configuration requiring rebuild in Twenty's workflow builder. We support a five-business-day hypercare window for reconciliation issues. We do not rebuild Sales Flow workflows as Twenty workflows inside the migration scope; that is a separate engagement.

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.
