Overview
Moving from Spotler CRM to Twenty CRM is an open-source transition, not a simple record copy. Spotler uses flat relational tables with Contacts linked to Companies, Opportunities carrying pipeline stage and value fields, and Activities recording all interaction history. Twenty maps this to its People, Company, Opportunity, and Task/Note objects. We preserve Contact-to-Company relationships during migration by joining on the company_id foreign key and reconstructing the pipeline structure in Twenty. Custom fields and dropdown lists require explicit mapping because Spotler allows free-form field creation without enforced schema conventions. Quotations and Cases do not have a direct Twenty equivalent and require custom object configuration or a manual rebuild post-migration. Spotler Workflows, MailSync configurations, and document attachments do not migrate as code or files; we deliver written specifications for each.
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 Spotler 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.
Spotler CRM
Contact
Twenty CRM
People
1:1Spotler Contact records map directly to Twenty People. Email address serves as the dedupe key during import. We preserve the Spotler contact's linked Company by resolving the company_id foreign key to the matching Twenty Company record at import time. Custom fields on Contact migrate to custom fields on People after the Twenty Data Model is configured in Settings. Standard fields (name, email, phone, address) map 1:1; any free-form Spotler custom fields require explicit mapping against Twenty's field types (text, number, date, select).
Spotler CRM
Company (Account)
Twenty CRM
Company
1:1Spotler Company records map to Twenty Company. The company domain becomes the Website field and acts as a secondary dedupe key. Company is created before any People import so that the People-to-Company relationship is satisfied at the moment of import. Industry, size, address, and custom properties migrate to matching Twenty Company fields after the Data Model is configured in Settings.
Spotler CRM
Opportunity (Deal)
Twenty CRM
Opportunity
1:1Spotler Opportunities map to Twenty Opportunities. Pipeline stage from Spotler maps to Twenty Opportunity stage values. Deal value, expected close date, and assigned Owner migrate directly. If Spotler uses multiple pipelines, we configure multiple Opportunity record types in Twenty to preserve the pipeline separation. Stage probability percentages transfer as custom fields if the customer requires them in reporting.
Spotler CRM
Activity: Task
Twenty CRM
Task
1:1Spotler Tasks map to Twenty Task records. We preserve activity date, description, status, priority, and assignment by resolving the Spotler owner email to the matching Twenty user. Task records are linked to the parent People or Company via the relevant Twenty relationship field at import time.
Spotler CRM
Activity: Call
Twenty CRM
Task (Call subtype)
1:1Spotler call Activities map to Twenty Task records with the call type flagged. Duration, disposition, and any call notes migrate to custom Task fields. Activity timeline ordering is preserved by setting the Task due date to the original Spotler timestamp. Call recording URLs stored in Spotler migrate as custom text fields if the customer has access to the recordings.
Spotler CRM
Activity: Meeting
Twenty CRM
Task (Meeting subtype)
1:1Spotler meeting Activities map to Twenty Task records with the meeting type flagged. Start time, end time, location, and attendee information migrate to custom Task fields. Attendee emails are linked to matching Twenty People records where they exist. If the attendee is not a Contact in Spotler, the meeting is linked to the primary related record (People or Company).
Spotler CRM
Activity: Note
Twenty CRM
Note
1:1Spotler Notes migrate to Twenty Note records linked via the Note's related People, Company, or Opportunity field. Note body migrates as rich text. Note authorship and timestamp are preserved from the Spotler record. Note attachments (document metadata) migrate as file references only; the actual files require separate file transfer and re-attachment in Twenty.
Spotler CRM
Custom Fields and Dropdown Lists
Twenty CRM
Custom Fields (People, Company, Opportunity, Task)
lossySpotler custom fields on Contacts, Companies, and Opportunities require pre-creation in Twenty Settings Data Model before any data import. Dropdown list values from Spotler must be mapped explicitly to Twenty select options because Spotler stores them as separate reference IDs. We export the Spotler field definition table alongside the data export and recreate all custom fields in Twenty during the setup phase. Fields that exist in Spotler but have no matching Twenty field type (e.g., complex Spotler formula fields) are flagged for manual review and either recreated as custom fields or dropped with a written explanation.
Spotler CRM
Quotation
Twenty CRM
Custom Object (Configuration required)
lossySpotler Quotations (Professional and Enterprise only) carry line items, pricing, and status. Twenty does not have a native quotation object. We configure a custom object (e.g., Quotation__c) in Twenty's Data Model before migration, mapping quotation header fields (quote number, date, status, total value) and creating a linked line item custom object with product, quantity, and price fields. If the customer uses Spotler quotation PDFs, we deliver those as file attachments to the custom object records after migration.
Spotler CRM
Case (Service Ticket)
Twenty CRM
Custom Object (Configuration required)
lossySpotler Cases (Professional and Enterprise) with SLA assignment, priority, and status do not have a native Twenty equivalent. We configure a custom object (e.g., Case__c) in Twenty with fields for case number, subject, description, priority, status, and assignee (linked to Twenty user). Case-to-People and Case-to-Company relationships are preserved as lookup fields. SLA fields migrate as custom date and text fields. We document the original SLA configuration for the customer's admin to rebuild the SLA logic manually.

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.
Spotler CRM gotchas
Plan-tier company record caps block migrations at scale
Workflow definitions do not export and must be rebuilt
Document storage limits vary by plan tier
Custom fields require explicit schema mapping between environments
Two-way MailSync configuration does not transfer between CRMs
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
Discovery and data audit
We audit the source Spotler CRM portal for record counts across Contacts, Companies, Opportunities, Activities (tasks, calls, meetings, notes), Quotations, Cases, and custom fields. We identify any dropdown list value sets, workflow definitions, document attachment volume, and user accounts. We pair this with a scoping call to confirm the customer's Twenty deployment model (self-hosted or hosted), any existing Twenty workspace, and the target record volume for migration. The discovery output is a written migration scope with object-level record counts and a custom field inventory.
Schema design and Twenty workspace preparation
We design the destination schema in Twenty. This includes creating all custom fields in Settings Data Model (People, Company, Opportunity, Task) to match the Spotler field inventory, configuring quotation and case custom objects if applicable, and mapping dropdown list values from Spotler reference IDs to Twenty select options. We document the field mapping matrix and share it with the customer for validation before any data is exported.
User provisioning and owner reconciliation
We extract every distinct Spotler Owner referenced across Contacts, Companies, Opportunities, and Activities and match by email against the Twenty workspace's user list. Any Spotler Owner without a matching Twenty user goes to a reconciliation queue. The customer provisions the missing users in Twenty Settings Members, waits for acceptance, and confirms the user list is complete before we proceed to data export. Migration cannot proceed past this step because OwnerId references are required on most standard objects.
Test migration and validation
We run a full migration into a staging environment using a representative data sample. The customer reconciles record counts and spot-checks 25-50 records against the Spotler source, verifying field values, relationship links (People to Company, Opportunities to People), and activity timeline completeness. Any mapping corrections are applied before production migration begins. This step validates that dropdown values resolved correctly, custom fields populated, and document references are intact.
Production migration in dependency order
We run production migration in record-dependency order: Companies (first, as People link to them), People (with company_id resolved), Opportunities (with assigned Owner resolved), Activity history (Tasks, Calls, Meetings, Notes via CSV import with parent-record lookup), Quotations and Cases (as custom objects if applicable), and document metadata (file reference records). Each phase emits a row-count reconciliation report before the next phase begins. We freeze Spotler writes during cutover and run a final delta migration of any records modified during the migration window.
Cutover, validation, and handoff documentation
We enable Twenty as the system of record after confirming record counts match across all objects. We deliver the workflow specification document, SLA rebuild notes for Cases, and quotation template recommendations to the customer's admin team. We support a 48-hour hypercare window where we resolve any data quality issues raised during the first business day. We do not rebuild Spotler Workflows as Twenty automations inside the migration scope; that work requires a separate scoping engagement with a developer familiar with Twenty's extension model.
