Overview
Sensei Cloud is a dental-practice management platform built for oral healthcare enterprises — it stores patient records, clinical charts, insurance claims, treatment plans, and appointment histories in a schema designed around the provider-patient encounter. Twenty CRM is a general-purpose open-source CRM with standard objects for People (contacts), Companies (accounts), Opportunities (deals), Notes, and Tasks, plus custom objects on Pro and Organization tiers. The two platforms share almost no overlapping domain concepts beyond basic contact and company data. FlitStack AI extracts patient contact fields from Sensei Cloud, maps them to Twenty's People object, migrates referring practices and insurance companies as Twenty Companies, and surfaces clinical data and treatment notes as custom fields or linked Notes for manual review. We do not migrate appointment scheduling structures (Sensei's block-booking model has no Twenty equivalent), insurance claim histories, or imaging files — those require dental-specific systems post-migration. The migration uses Sensei Cloud's REST API for data extraction and Twenty's CSV import with relation-first sequencing, followed by a delta-pickup window capturing any records modified during the 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 Sensei Cloud 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.
Sensei Cloud
Patient
Twenty CRM
People
1:1Sensei Cloud patients map directly to Twenty People. We extract firstname, lastname, email, phone, mobilephone, address fields, and date of birth. Clinical chart references and treatment history are preserved as Notes linked to the People record for manual review — they do not map to Twenty native fields since no clinical equivalent exists.
Sensei Cloud
Patient.Address
Twenty CRM
People.Address
1:1Street address, city, state, and postal code from Sensei Cloud patient records map to the corresponding address fields on Twenty People. We handle address standardization during transformation — empty address components are preserved as empty strings rather than nulled out.
Sensei Cloud
Responsible Party
Twenty CRM
People (secondary)
1:1Sensei Cloud stores a responsible party (guarantor) separate from the patient record for billing purposes. We create a custom field Responsible_Party__c on the People record and store the responsible party's name and contact info as a formatted text block. Insurance subscriber relationships require separate Notes entries.
Sensei Cloud
Referring Practice
Twenty CRM
Companies
1:1Sensei Cloud referring practices map to Twenty Companies. We extract practice name, address, phone, and referring dentist names as contact points. Referring relationships are captured as a custom field Referral_Source__c on the Company record. Multi-location referring practices are consolidated into a single Company record with location data in a custom field.
Sensei Cloud
Insurance Carrier
Twenty CRM
Companies
1:1Insurance company entities in Sensei Cloud migrate as Twenty Companies with a custom field Company_Type__c set to 'Insurance Carrier'. Plan names and group numbers are stored as additional custom fields on the Company record. Active/inactive status is preserved in a custom select field.
Sensei Cloud
Lab Relationship
Twenty CRM
Companies
1:1Dental lab vendors stored in Sensei Cloud map to Twenty Companies with a custom Company_Type__c value of 'Dental Lab'. Lab contact information, account numbers, and associated pricing tiers are stored as custom text fields on the Company record. If your practice works with multiple lab vendors, each one becomes a separate Company record, allowing you to track lab-specific communication and order history within Twenty's standard Company interface.
Sensei Cloud
Appointment / Scheduling Block
Twenty CRM
No equivalent
1:1Sensei Cloud appointment blocks, provider schedules, and treatment room assignments have no native equivalent in Twenty CRM. We export appointment metadata (date, provider, procedure code) as a CSV file for import into your chosen dental scheduling system post-migration. Scheduling data is not loaded into Twenty.
Sensei Cloud
Treatment Plan
Twenty CRM
Notes + Custom Object
1:1Treatment plan procedure codes and descriptions from Sensei Cloud are exported as Notes attached to the patient People record, with procedure codes and tooth references stored in custom fields on the Note or a Treatment_Plan custom object. Full clinical notes require a dental-specific system post-migration.
Sensei Cloud
Insurance Claim / Ledger Entry
Twenty CRM
No equivalent
1:1Insurance claim histories and ledger entries in Sensei Cloud do not map to Twenty CRM's data model. We export claim summaries as a structured CSV for reference, but do not create ledger objects in Twenty. Billing tracking should be rebuilt in a dental-specific billing tool or as custom objects on the Company and People records.
Sensei Cloud
Clinical Note / Chart Note
Twenty CRM
Notes
1:1Clinical chart notes from Sensei Cloud migrate as Twenty Notes attached to the corresponding People record. Original note timestamps and provider names are preserved in the Note metadata. Rich-text formatting is converted to plain text for compatibility with Twenty's Note field.
Sensei Cloud
Document / Attachment
Twenty CRM
Notes
1:1Non-imaging documents attached to patient records in Sensei Cloud are exported and reattached as Notes in Twenty. We download the files, host them on your designated storage, and attach links in the Note body. Imaging files (X-rays, scans) are exported to a designated folder and linked via Notes — they are not embedded in Twenty.
Sensei Cloud
User / Provider
Twenty CRM
Workspace Members
1:1Sensei Cloud provider and staff user records map to Twenty Workspace Members. Resolution happens by email match — if a provider email exists in your Twenty workspace, records are assigned to that user. Unmatched providers are flagged and assigned to a migration admin user pending manual reassignment.

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.
Sensei Cloud gotchas
Legacy conversion leaves messy patient and chart duplicates
Chrome-only browser support affects migration workstation compatibility
Imaging data requires separate Carestream-format conversion pipeline
Billing ledger errors cannot be corrected post-creation
Provider assignments sometimes stored as text rather than foreign key
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 Sensei Cloud data model and export via API
FlitStack AI connects to Sensei Cloud via your API credentials and inventories all accessible objects — patients, referring practices, insurance carriers, lab relationships, clinical notes, treatment plans, attachments, and user records. We assess data completeness, identify duplicate records, and document custom field usage. This audit generates the baseline record counts and field inventory that drive the migration scope and pricing. We also export appointment metadata and imaging file manifests at this stage for separate handling.
Design Twenty CRM target schema and custom fields
Before data loads, we create the custom fields and custom objects required in your Twenty workspace. This includes DOB__c and Insurance_Policy_Number__c on People, Company_Type__c and Referral_Source__c on Company, and any Treatment_Plan custom object your Organization tier allows. If your Twenty plan is Pro (10 custom object limit), we prioritize the highest-value entities and consolidate remaining dental fields into Notes. We deliver a schema setup checklist so your Twenty admin can pre-create fields before the import window opens.
Resolve users and owners by email match
Sensei Cloud provider and staff user records are matched against your Twenty workspace members by email address. If a provider email exists as a Twenty Workspace Member, records are assigned to that user at migration time. Providers without a matching Twenty account are flagged in a pre-migration report — your team creates those accounts before the data loads, or records are assigned to a migration admin user for post-migration reassignment. No record lands in Twenty without a resolvable owner.
Run sample migration with field-level diff
A representative sample — typically 200–500 patient records spanning different providers, insurance types, and clinical note lengths — migrates first. We generate a field-level diff showing every source field value against its Twenty destination value so you can verify name concatenation, address splitting, DOB field population, and insurance carrier linkage. Imaging file links and Notes attachments are spot-checked. The sample run identifies mapping errors before the full dataset commits. You approve the sample diff before we proceed to the full migration.
Execute full migration with delta-pickup window
The full dataset loads in relation-first sequence: Companies (referring practices, insurers, labs) → People (patients with companyId resolved) → Notes (clinical notes, treatment plan summaries) → Custom objects (treatment plans on Organization tier). A delta-pickup window of 24–48 hours captures any patient records created or modified in Sensei Cloud during the cutover. Audit logs record every operation. If reconciliation reveals mapping errors, one-click rollback reverts the Twenty workspace to pre-migration state so you can correct and re-run.
