Overview
SendPulse is primarily a multi-channel marketing platform with a lightweight built-in CRM, while Twenty CRM is a dedicated open-source CRM designed for teams that want full data ownership. The migration is less about a like-for-like platform swap and more about consolidating from a marketing-plus-CRM stack into a purpose-built CRM. We export Contacts, Companies, Deals, and Tasks from SendPulse via its REST API and CSV export, then load them into Twenty through Twenty's GraphQL API using batch mutation requests and per-minute rate-limit handling. Because Twenty has no built-in bulk-import UI, the migration is API-driven throughout. SendPulse Automation 360 flows, chatbot configurations, landing pages, and sender email addresses cannot be migrated programmatically and require manual rebuild or re-verification in Twenty. Campaign statistics (open rates, click rates, bounce data) are extracted as structured records and written to Twenty as custom properties on the associated contact or company record. We flag data quality issues including duplicate email addresses, missing required fields, and stale records during the audit phase so the customer can decide what to keep before any data moves.
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.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a SendPulse 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.
SendPulse
Contact
Twenty CRM
Person
1:1SendPulse CRM Contacts map directly to Twenty Person records. The first_name, last_name, email, phone, and custom properties migrate as standard and custom fields on Person. SendPulse's contact avatar URL migrates as a custom text field. We deduplicate by email address during the extract phase and flag duplicate SendPulse contacts (same email, different IDs) for the customer's review before import into Twenty. Any SendPulse contact with a linked Company record gets the Company-_person link preserved via the Twenty relationship model.
SendPulse
Company
Twenty CRM
Company
1:1SendPulse CRM Companies map directly to Twenty Company records. Company name, domain, address, industry, and custom fields migrate 1:1. The company domain is used as a dedupe key and populates the Company URL field in Twenty. SendPulse's company-contact linkage migrates as a primary contact relation in Twenty's data model. Companies without contacts are imported as standalone records.
SendPulse
Deal
Twenty CRM
Opportunity
1:1SendPulse Deals map to Twenty Opportunities. The deal name, value, stage, responsible user, and custom fields migrate to Twenty's Opportunity object. SendPulse pipeline stages map to Twenty pipeline stages, which we configure in Twenty's Data Model before migration. Closed-won and closed-lost reasons from SendPulse custom fields become custom text fields on the Opportunity in Twenty.
SendPulse
Task
Twenty CRM
Task
1:1SendPulse CRM Tasks map to Twenty Task records. Task title, due date, assignee, status, and linked contact or company migrate directly. The linked entity reference (contact_id or company_id) is resolved to the corresponding Twenty Person or Company record ID during the transform phase. Open tasks migrate with their original due dates preserved; completed tasks migrate with completion timestamps.
SendPulse
Subscriber
Twenty CRM
Person (tagged)
lossySendPulse Subscribers from the email marketing module are distinct from CRM Contacts. We extract subscribers with their subscription status (subscribed, unsubscribed, bounced) and segment membership, then map them as Person records in Twenty tagged with the original mailing list name and a subscription_status field. Bounced and unsubscribed addresses are imported with their status preserved as custom fields. Active subscribers from mailing lists that are also in the CRM become merged with existing Person records; mailing-list-only subscribers are imported as new Person records with a custom source field set to SendPulse mailing list.
SendPulse
Campaign Statistics
Twenty CRM
Person or Company (custom properties)
lossySendPulse campaign statistics (open rate, click rate, bounce count, unsubscribe count per campaign per subscriber) are extracted as structured records and written to Twenty as custom number or text fields on the corresponding Person record. For aggregate reporting, we create a custom CampaignHistory object in Twenty linked to Person, capturing campaign_id, send_date, opens, clicks, and bounces. This preserves historical performance data that SendPulse exports to CSV.
SendPulse
Sender Email Address
Twenty CRM
Not migratable
lossySendPulse verified sender addresses (SMTP senders used for campaigns) are platform-specific and tied to SendPulse's sending infrastructure. They cannot be transferred to Twenty because Twenty does not include an email sending module. We document every verified sender domain and address for the customer's reference so they can configure DNS records (DKIM, SPF, DMARC) for their chosen email sending provider (Resend, AWS SES, Postmark) in parallel with the CRM migration.
SendPulse
Product
Twenty CRM
Custom Object or Opportunity Line Item
1:1SendPulse CRM Products (name, price, SKU, category, and hidden integration fields) map to Twenty as a custom object named Product if the customer tracks products independently of opportunities. We extract hidden integration fields via the targeted API call with the integration_fields parameter and write them as custom text fields on the Product custom object. If the customer uses products within deal contexts, we recommend a Product custom object linked to Opportunity rather than Twenty's built-in opportunity line item model.
SendPulse
Automation 360 Flow
Twenty CRM
Not migratable
lossySendPulse Automation 360 flows have no API export endpoint. Flow definitions exist only in the SendPulse UI and cannot be programmatically extracted. We provide a written inventory of every active Automation 360 flow documenting its trigger, conditions, delay steps, and actions based on screenshots and walkthroughs with the customer. The customer's admin rebuilds each flow in Twenty Workflows post-migration. Complex multi-branch flows may require significant reconfiguration time in Twenty.
SendPulse
Chatbot Configuration
Twenty CRM
Not migratable
lossySendPulse chatbots (Telegram, Facebook Messenger, Instagram, WhatsApp, TikTok, Viber) cannot be exported via API. Chatbot flow logic, trigger conditions, and message content are stored on SendPulse's platform and tied to their messenger integrations. We document the messenger channels in use, the primary use cases (lead capture, FAQ automation, order tracking), and recommend a replacement chatbot platform (ManyChat, Tidio, or native messenger developer tools) to be configured separately from the CRM migration.
SendPulse
Owner
Twenty CRM
Workspace Member
1:1SendPulse CRM owners (assigned users on contacts, companies, deals, tasks) map to Twenty Workspace Members. We resolve SendPulse owner email addresses against the Twenty destination workspace's member list. If a SendPulse owner has no matching Twenty account, we hold the assignment in a reconciliation field and flag it for the customer to provision the corresponding Twenty user before record import. Active vs inactive status is preserved.

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.
SendPulse gotchas
Automation 360 flows have no API export endpoint
Email send restrictions and moderation delays are common
Unique subscriber billing count differs from raw list size
Hidden product integration fields are not visible in standard export
Overdue payments deactivate the entire plan, not just one tool
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
Data audit and deduplication
We extract all CRM records from SendPulse (Contacts, Companies, Deals, Tasks, Products) via REST API and CSV export, and separately extract Subscribers from the email marketing module with subscription status and segment membership. We run deduplication across email addresses to identify records that share the same email (both within the CRM and between CRM Contacts and email Subscribers), flag duplicates for the customer's decision, and remove stale records (contacts with no activity in 24+ months per the customer's criteria). The audit output is a record-count breakdown and a data-quality summary covering missing required fields, invalid email formats, and orphaned company links.
Schema design and custom field provisioning in Twenty
We design the destination schema in Twenty before any data import. This includes creating custom fields on Person (for SendPulse contact custom properties), Company, Opportunity (for SendPulse deal fields and custom properties), and Task. We provision any custom objects needed for Products or campaign history. Each custom field is created via Twenty's /metadata API with the correct type (text, number, date, select, multi-select) matched to the SendPulse source field type. We also configure the Twenty workspace members list by matching SendPulse owner email addresses to Twenty user accounts, flagging any SendPulse owners without a corresponding Twenty user for the customer to provision.
Twenty workspace configuration
We configure the Twenty workspace to receive the migrated data, including setting up pipeline stages that map from SendPulse deal stages, configuring company domain settings for the domain-based company deduplication, and setting up any custom views needed to display the migrated data in the customer's preferred layout. This step is done in a staging or development Twenty workspace if the customer is using self-hosted, or in the production workspace if using Twenty cloud, before records are loaded.
API-driven migration in dependency order
We run the migration using Twenty's GraphQL API with batch mutations. Records are loaded in dependency order: Companies first (standalone records with no external dependencies), then Persons (resolving any linked Company by name or domain), then Opportunities (resolving linked Person and Company), then Tasks (resolving linked Person, Company, and Opportunity), then custom object records. Each phase emits a row-count reconciliation report comparing records loaded to records expected. We apply exponential backoff and chunking for large batches, and we handle 429 rate-limit responses by pausing and resuming within the configured per-minute limit.
Subscriber and campaign statistics migration
Active subscribers from SendPulse mailing lists that are not already in the CRM contacts are imported as Person records tagged with the mailing list name and subscription_status field. Campaign statistics are written to Twenty as a custom CampaignHistory object linked to Person records, capturing campaign ID, send date, opens, clicks, bounces, and unsubscribes per contact per campaign. This preserves historical SendPulse campaign performance data for reporting in Twenty.
Cutover, validation, and automation rebuild handoff
We freeze SendPulse CRM writes during cutover, run a delta migration of any records modified during the migration window, then enable Twenty as the system of record. We deliver the Automation 360 flow inventory with Twenty Workflow equivalents, the chatbot documentation with replacement platform recommendations, and the sender address list for DNS configuration with the customer's chosen email sending provider. We support a one-week post-migration validation window. We do not rebuild SendPulse Automation 360 flows or chatbot configurations as part of the migration scope; that is separate work for the customer's admin team or a Twenty implementation partner.
