Overview
Moving from Simplicity Enterprise CRM to Twenty CRM is a migration from a proprietary relational platform to an open-source CRM with a developer-first data model. Simplicity stores contacts, companies, deals, and multi-channel campaign data in a client-configurable schema that varies per instance—every migration begins with a schema discovery phase that enumerates active fields and picklist values before field mapping begins. Twenty's data model uses Person and Company as the primary record types with Opportunities for pipeline management and a fully customizable object layer. We map Contacts to Person, Companies to Workspace, and Deals to Opportunity, with stage and status values translated through an explicit configuration mapping. Activity history (emails, calls, meetings, notes) requires explicit parent-record resolution because Simplicity stores these as linked records. Loyalty program data, campaign response data, and social media integration records have no direct Twenty equivalent and are archived as custom objects to preserve the data without disrupting the core contact model. We do not migrate workflows, automations, or campaign execution rules; we deliver a written inventory for the customer to rebuild in Twenty.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a Simplicity Enterprise 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.
Simplicity Enterprise CRM
Contact
Twenty CRM
Person
1:1Simplicity Contact records map to Twenty Person. Standard fields (firstName, lastName, email, phone, address) translate directly. Simplicity's behavioural and segmentation properties (lifecycle stage, lead score, source channel) migrate as custom fields on Person because Twenty's data model accommodates these without requiring a separate object. We resolve the Company linkage from Simplicity's contact-company relationship and attach the Person to the corresponding Twenty Workspace during import.
Simplicity Enterprise CRM
Company
Twenty CRM
Workspace
1:1Simplicity Company records map to Twenty Workspace. Company name, domain, industry, employee count, and address fields map 1:1. Simplicity's relational links to Contact records migrate as Person records linked to the Workspace via the workspaceId field. Workspace must be created before Person import so the lookup relationship is satisfied at insert time.
Simplicity Enterprise CRM
Deal
Twenty CRM
Opportunity
1:1Simplicity Deal records map to Twenty Opportunity. Deal name, value, expected close date, and stage map to Opportunity name, amount, closeDate, and stage. Simplicity's configurable pipeline stages require explicit stage-to-status value mapping during scoping. We pre-create the Twenty pipeline configuration before migration to ensure stage names align with the imported deal records.
Simplicity Enterprise CRM
Deal Stage
Twenty CRM
Pipeline Stage
lossySimplicity's client-configurable pipeline stages map to Twenty pipeline stages. Each Simplicity stage name translates to a Twenty stage with an explicit probability percentage. Stage order is preserved in the Twenty pipeline configuration. If Simplicity uses multiple pipelines, we create multiple Twenty pipelines with corresponding stage sets.
Simplicity Enterprise CRM
Activity: Email
Twenty CRM
Task
1:1Simplicity email activities map to Twenty Task records with taskType = Email. Email subject, body, timestamp, and sender/recipient information migrate as Task fields. The task is linked to the parent Person or Workspace via the Twenty activity API. ActivityDate is set to the original Simplicity timestamp to preserve timeline ordering.
Simplicity Enterprise CRM
Activity: Call
Twenty CRM
Task
1:1Simplicity call activities map to Twenty Task with taskType = Call. Call disposition, duration, and notes from Simplicity migrate as custom fields on the Task record. The task is linked to the parent Person or Workspace at migration time after Person resolution is complete.
Simplicity Enterprise CRM
Activity: Meeting
Twenty CRM
Task
1:1Simplicity meeting activities map to Twenty Task with taskType = Meeting. Meeting title, start and end timestamps, location, and attendee list migrate as Task fields. Attendees resolve to Person records in Twenty and are linked via the activity API.
Simplicity Enterprise CRM
Activity: Note
Twenty CRM
Task
1:1Simplicity notes map to Twenty Task with taskType = Note. Note body and creation timestamp migrate directly. Notes linked to specific contacts or companies in Simplicity resolve to the corresponding Person or Workspace in Twenty before the Task insert.
Simplicity Enterprise CRM
Campaign
Twenty CRM
Custom Object: Campaign
lossySimplicity Campaign records have no native Twenty equivalent. We create a Campaign custom object in Twenty with fields for campaign name, type (email, social, SMS, print), start and end dates, status, and budget. Campaign-to-contact response associations from Simplicity migrate as a separate CampaignMember custom object that links Person to Campaign with response status and channel fields.
Simplicity Enterprise CRM
Segment
Twenty CRM
Custom Field (Multi-Select Picklist) or Tag
lossySimplicity Segments define which contacts belong to behavioural or demographic groups. Segment membership migrates as a multi-select picklist field on Person in Twenty, or as Tags if Twenty's tag feature is enabled in the target instance. The customer chooses the strategy during scoping based on how segments are used in reporting.
Simplicity Enterprise CRM
Loyalty Program
Twenty CRM
Custom Object: Loyalty
lossySimplicity Loyalty module stores reward tiers, point balances, and program membership as separate relational records. We create a Loyalty custom object in Twenty linked to Person with fields for program name, membership ID, point balance, tier, and enrollment date. Loyalty program rules and reward tier definitions migrate as a separate LoyaltyProgram custom object for reference.

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.
Simplicity Enterprise CRM gotchas
Configurable schema varies per client instance
Activity history is linked to Contact and Company records
Campaign response data requires explicit translation
Loyalty module data is relational and non-standard
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
Technical discovery and export mechanism identification
We conduct a technical discovery call to identify how data will be extracted from Simplicity CRM. Because no publicly documented API is referenced in available research, we explore all export mechanisms: on-premise database access, proprietary platform export functions, CSV export per object, and Simplicity support-assisted exports. We enumerate the full Simplicity object inventory for the specific instance, identify all active custom fields and picklist values, and document the campaign module and loyalty module activation status. This phase produces the schema discovery report and export plan.
Schema design and custom object creation in Twenty
We design the destination schema in Twenty. This includes creating the Campaign custom object (with response tracking fields), the Loyalty custom object (linked to Person with membership fields), and any custom fields needed to accommodate Simplicity's behavioural and segmentation properties on Person and Opportunity. We configure pipeline stages to match the Simplicity deal stages with explicit stage names and probabilities. Schema is validated in a Twenty staging instance before production migration begins.
Export, transform, and load with dependency ordering
We extract data from Simplicity in dependency order: Companies (to create Workspaces), then Contacts (to create Persons linked to Workspaces), then Deals (to create Opportunities with stage mapping), then Activity records (Tasks with type and timestamp preserved). Loyalty program data and campaign response data export as separate relational sets and load into their respective custom objects after Person and Campaign records exist. Each phase emits a row-count reconciliation report before the next phase begins.
Parent-record resolution and activity sequencing
Simplicity activity records reference Contact and Company IDs that must resolve to Twenty Person and Workspace IDs at migration time. We build a cross-reference table during the import phase that maps Simplicity record IDs to Twenty record IDs, then use this table to set the correct parent references on all activity records before insertion. This prevents orphaned activities that are disconnected from the contact timeline.
Campaign and loyalty custom object population
After core records (Person, Workspace, Opportunity, Activity) are migrated and reconciled, we populate the Campaign custom object with Simplicity campaign records and the CampaignMember custom object with response associations. Loyalty program data migrates to the Loyalty custom object linked to the corresponding Person records. Program rules and tier definitions migrate to the LoyaltyProgram reference object.
Cutover, validation, and automation rebuild handoff
We coordinate a cutover window during which Simplicity writes are paused. We run a final delta migration of any records modified during the migration window, then validate record counts against the Simplicity source export. We deliver the full migration manifest documenting every object, field mapping, custom object schema, and pipeline configuration. We do not rebuild Simplicity workflows, automations, or campaign execution rules; the manifest serves as the reference document for the customer's team to rebuild these in Twenty. We provide a one-week hypercare window for reconciliation issues.
