Overview
The Teleforce CRM to Twenty CRM migration is an extraction-constrained project. Teleforce CRM has no publicly documented REST API, GraphQL endpoint, or developer documentation, so all data leaves the source as CSV from the UI or via direct database access arranged with the customer. Twenty CRM then requires the reverse: schema pre-creation before import, because its CSV loader creates records, not fields. Every Teleforce custom field must be manually defined in Twenty Settings before the matching CSV column can map. Owner resolution requires inviting users into the Twenty workspace before import, because Twenty does not allow owner assignment to non-existent users. Activity history (call logs, email threads, SMS in the unified inbox) is likely partial on the source side — research did not confirm an independent export path for threaded inbox data. Workflows, automations, and AI bot flows are not migratable and are documented for manual rebuild. The migration is scoped for data correctness and relationship preservation, not for automation portability.
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 Teleforce 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.
Teleforce CRM
Contact
Twenty CRM
People
1:1Teleforce Contacts map to Twenty People records. Field-level mapping requires pre-creating the Teleforce-equivalent fields in Twenty Settings → Data Model because Twenty ships minimal standard fields (name, email, phone only confirmed). We request the customer's full Teleforce field inventory during discovery and create matching fields before import. Contact owner maps to Twenty workspace Member via email match; the member must be invited and active before owner assignment is set.
Teleforce CRM
Company
Twenty CRM
Company
1:1Teleforce Companies map to Twenty Companies. Industry, website, employeeCount, and annualRevenue are common Teleforce fields that must be pre-created as Twenty Company fields before CSV column mapping. The Company record is imported before People so that the People-Company relationship (handed via domain match or a foreign key column) resolves at insert time.
Teleforce CRM
Deal
Twenty CRM
Opportunity
1:1Teleforce Deals map to Twenty Opportunities. The dealstage property maps to Twenty pipeline Stage values, which must be pre-created in Twenty Settings → Data Model → Pipelines before import. Closed-Lost and Closed-Won stage mapping is preserved as custom Opportunity fields if the customer used these states in Teleforce. Amount, probability, and close date transfer directly as Opportunity fields.
Teleforce CRM
Pipeline
Twenty CRM
Pipeline + Stage
lossyTeleforce pipeline configuration maps to Twenty Pipelines. Each Teleforce pipeline becomes a Twenty Pipeline with its own stage set. Stage names, order, and probabilities must be explicitly defined in Twenty before Deals reference them. We collect the exact pipeline and stage names from the customer's Teleforce instance during discovery.
Teleforce CRM
Lead
Twenty CRM
People (as Lead type)
1:1Teleforce Leads appear as a distinct lifecycle stage or record type. We map Teleforce Leads to Twenty People records with a custom field original_record_type__c set to Lead for segmentation. The customer chooses whether to keep Leads separate or merge them into existing People records during scoping.
Teleforce CRM
Activity (Call Log)
Twenty CRM
Task (TaskSubtype = Call)
1:1Teleforce call logs from the unified inbox migrate to Twenty Task records with a call-specific subtype. Call duration, disposition, and recording URL transfer to custom Task fields. We extract available call data via CSV; inbox thread-level history may be incomplete if Teleforce's export does not cover it independently.
Teleforce CRM
Activity (Email)
Twenty CRM
Task (linked to People or Company)
1:1Teleforce email activity linked to Contacts migrates to Twenty Task records with the original timestamp preserved in ActivityDate. Email body content migrates as Task description if the CSV export includes it; we flag it as partial if the export truncates rich-text content.
Teleforce CRM
Activity (Note)
Twenty CRM
Note
1:1Teleforce notes linked to Contacts, Companies, or Deals migrate to Twenty Note records attached via the target record's ID. Note creation timestamp and author information transfer as custom Note fields if available in the export.
Teleforce CRM
Custom Field (Contact)
Twenty CRM
Custom Field on People
lossyTeleforce custom fields on Contacts map to Twenty custom fields on People. The Twenty field must be pre-created in Settings → Data Model before the CSV import column is mapped. Field types are matched: text fields to text, number fields to number, date fields to date, and picklist fields to select options with the same value set.
Teleforce CRM
Custom Field (Deal)
Twenty CRM
Custom Field on Opportunity
lossyTeleforce custom fields on Deals map to Twenty custom fields on Opportunity. Same pre-creation requirement applies. We collect the complete custom field inventory from the customer during discovery because no public API or documentation exists to enumerate them automatically.
Teleforce CRM
Owner
Twenty CRM
Member (Workspace User)
1:1Teleforce owner assignments on Contacts, Companies, and Deals map to Twenty Members by email match. We require the customer to invite all active owners into the Twenty workspace before migration begins. Any owner without a corresponding Twenty Member is flagged in a reconciliation report and held until provisioned.

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.
Teleforce CRM gotchas
No publicly documented API or export endpoint
Custom pricing with no published tier feature matrix
Unified inbox data (SMS, chat, call logs) may not export cleanly
Extremely limited third-party review coverage
Workflows and automations are non-portable by design
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 extraction assessment
We audit the Teleforce CRM instance through direct UI access or customer-provided screenshots and field inventory. We confirm the export surface: which objects (Contacts, Companies, Deals, Pipelines, Activities) are accessible via CSV from the UI, what fields are present, and whether any data requires direct database access. We also collect the full list of custom fields, pipeline names and stages, and owner assignments. For Twenty, we confirm the target workspace is provisioned and identify which standard fields must be pre-created.
Schema pre-creation in Twenty
Before any data lands in Twenty, we create all required custom fields on People, Company, and Opportunity in Settings → Data Model. We create pipeline configurations with the correct stage names and ordering. We also coordinate with the customer to invite all active workspace members so that owner assignment resolves during import. This step runs in parallel with the extraction phase to maximize timeline efficiency.
Data extraction from Teleforce CRM
We guide the customer through a structured CSV export from the Teleforce UI, running one export per object type (Contacts, Companies, Deals, Activities) to preserve record relationships. If the UI export has row limits or field truncation, we negotiate direct database access or multi-batch export cycles. We validate record counts against the customer's expected volumes and flag any objects that are exportable only partially.
Data transformation and field mapping
We transform Teleforce field names and formats to match Twenty's expected CSV column headers. Date formats are normalized to ISO 8601. Phone numbers, email addresses, and currency fields are validated and cleaned. We apply the owner mapping (email to Twenty Member ID) and the company-contact relationship (domain match or foreign key). Custom field values from Teleforce map to their pre-created Twenty equivalents. Activity records are linked to the parent People or Company by ID cross-reference from the transformed export.
Sandbox validation import
We run the first full import into a Twenty workspace (or the customer's staging environment if available) to validate record counts, relationship integrity, and field mapping correctness. The customer spot-checks 25-50 records against the Teleforce source and confirms the mapping before we proceed to production import. Any field mapping corrections are applied to the transform logic before the production run.
Production migration and cutover
We run the production migration in dependency order: Companies first, then People (with company relationship resolved), then Opportunities (with owner and company resolved), then Activities. Owner reconciliation flags any owner assignments that could not be resolved. After migration, we deliver a written automation inventory documenting the customer's Teleforce workflows and AI bot flows for manual rebuild in Twenty. We do not migrate workflows or automations as functional code. We provide a post-migration reconciliation report with record counts per object and a delta estimate for any records modified during the migration window.
