Overview
The Customer Factor organizes service-business data around contacts, companies, deals, estimates, invoices, and activities — with custom fields embedded in each object. Twenty CRM uses a relational model: People linked to Companies via companyId, Opportunities linked to both via companyId and personId, with Stages as separate objects referenced by stageId. The migration maps The Customer Factor contacts to Twenty People (with address and job-title fields preserved), companies directly to Twenty Companies, and deals to Opportunities with TCF deal status values mapped to Twenty Stage records that your admin creates in Settings → Data Model. TCF estimates and invoices require custom objects in Twenty — we flag these for custom-object creation before import runs. TCF attachments re-upload to Twenty Files. TCF users match to Twenty Workspace Members by email before records land. FlitStack AI sequences the migration so parent records (Companies) exist before child records (People) reference them, preventing orphaned lookups. The migration uses scoped read access on The Customer Factor — your team keeps working in TCF during cutover. A 24–48 hour delta window captures in-flight changes. Workflows, automations, invoice templates, and custom permissions do not migrate and require manual rebuild in Twenty.
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 The Customer Factor 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.
The Customer Factor
Contact
Twenty CRM
People
1:1TCF contacts map directly to Twenty People. TCF stores name, email, phone, address, and job title fields — all map to corresponding Twenty People fields. TCF contacts without a primary company link to a default placeholder company in Twenty or are flagged for manual review.
The Customer Factor
Company
Twenty CRM
Companies
1:1TCF companies map to Twenty Companies preserving business name, domain, industry, employee count, and address fields. TCF parent-child company hierarchies map to Twenty Companies with the parent company stored on the child record via the parent CompanyId field. We verify that parent companies migrate before child records so the lookup relationship resolves correctly during import.
The Customer Factor
Deal
Twenty CRM
Opportunity
1:1TCF deals map to Twenty Opportunities with amount, name, and close date transferring directly. TCF deal status (Open, Won, Lost) requires a custom mapping to Twenty Stage records that your admin creates in Settings → Data Model before migration runs. Probability percentages from TCF map to Stage probability values.
The Customer Factor
Estimate
Twenty CRM
Custom Object (Estimate)
1:1TCF estimates have no native equivalent in Twenty CRM. We create a custom Estimate object with fields for estimate number, line items (product, quantity, unit price), tax, discount, status, and linked People and Companies records. Multi-line items denormalize into a text or JSON field since Twenty custom objects don't support native line-item sub-objects.
The Customer Factor
Invoice
Twenty CRM
Custom Object (Invoice)
1:1TCF invoices require a custom Invoice object in Twenty with fields for invoice number, amount, status (Draft, Sent, Paid, Overdue), payment date, and linked People and Companies records. TCF payment history and line items store as custom fields or a denormalized text field.
The Customer Factor
Activity (Call/Email)
Twenty CRM
Task
1:1TCF call logs and email records map to Twenty Tasks with subject, type (Call, Email), body content, completion status, and original timestamp preserved. Tasks link to the parent People or Companies record by record ID. Task type is set from TCF's activity type field.
The Customer Factor
Activity (Meeting)
Twenty CRM
Event
1:1TCF meeting records map to Twenty Events with subject, start time, end time, and body content preserved. Original timestamp and meeting organizer link to the parent People or Companies record. TCF meeting attendees stored as custom fields or linked via a custom Attendees object.
The Customer Factor
Note
Twenty CRM
Note
1:1TCF notes map directly to Twenty Notes with body content, creator, and create timestamp preserved. Notes attach to the parent record (People, Companies, or Opportunity) via Twenty's attachment model. Rich-text formatting in TCF notes is preserved where supported. The migration maintains the chronological sequence of notes tied to each parent entity for audit continuity.
The Customer Factor
User/Owner
Twenty CRM
WorkspaceMember
1:1TCF users resolve to Twenty Workspace Members by email match. TCF user name and avatar data map to Twenty member profile fields. TCF role-based permissions do not migrate — these must be manually configured in Twenty Settings → Members with the same access structure recreated.
The Customer Factor
Attachment
Twenty CRM
File
1:1TCF file attachments re-upload to Twenty Files. Each file attaches to its parent record (People, Companies, or Opportunity) in Twenty. Original file metadata (create date, size) is not preserved by Twenty's import mechanism and stores as a custom field for reference.
The Customer Factor
Custom Field
Twenty CRM
Custom Object or Custom Field
1:1TCF embeds custom fields within contact, company, and deal objects. In Twenty, custom fields that don't fit existing objects require a custom object to be created first in Settings → Data Model before fields can be added. TCF custom field types (text, number, date, pick-list) map to corresponding Twenty field types.

Platform-specific issues from each side, plus the pair-specific challenges that don't show up on either platform's page on its own.
The Customer Factor gotchas
Client cap applies to all tiers including paid plans
No public API — export is manual CSV only
Automated follow-up sequences do not migrate
Cancellation requires email to support with no self-service option
Texting requires third-party integration
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
Guide TCF data export via UI dropdown
FlitStack AI walks your team through The Customer Factor's UI export process. Because TCF has no API, each object (contacts, companies, deals, estimates, invoices, activities, attachments) requires a separate manual export from the Import/Export dropdown under each tab. We provide a step-by-step export checklist, record the export date for each object, and verify file sizes before ingestion begins. Large exports that hit TCF UI limits are flagged and split into multiple files.
Audit TCF data quality and volume
We profile each exported TCF file for record counts, duplicate rates, incomplete fields, and data format issues. This audit identifies contacts without email addresses, deals with missing stage values, and estimates with line items that may require special handling. The audit output drives the custom-object creation checklist for Twenty and determines which TCF custom fields require mapping to Twenty custom objects versus standard fields.
Create Twenty custom objects and fields
Before any CSV import runs, your Twenty admin (or our team) creates the custom objects required for TCF data that has no native Twenty equivalent — primarily the Estimate and Invoice custom objects. For each custom object, fields are added with correct types (text, number, currency, date, pick-list). Stage records are created in Settings → Data Model → Pipeline, mapping TCF deal status values to Twenty Stage names and probabilities. This step must complete before the CSV import phase.
Build field mapping and resolve TCF users to Twenty members
We document the field-level mapping from every TCF column to its Twenty equivalent. Standard fields (name, email, phone, address) map directly. TCF custom fields map to Twenty custom fields on the appropriate object. TCF users are matched by email to existing Twenty Workspace Members — your team must invite all TCF users to Twenty before this step so the email match resolves. Unmatched owners are flagged for manual assignment before migration runs.
Run sample migration with field-level diff
A representative slice — typically 100–500 records spanning contacts, companies, deals, estimates, and a few activities — migrates first. We generate a field-level diff showing the source TCF value and the destination Twenty value for every mapped field. You verify that TCF deal status values landed in the correct Twenty Stages, that TCF custom fields populated the custom objects, and that owner resolution by email matched correctly. Sample results inform any mapping adjustments before the full run commits.
Execute full migration with delta-pickup window
Full migration runs against Twenty. A 24–48 hour delta-pickup window captures any records created or modified in TCF during the cutover period. Audit logs document every operation — record counts per object, error rows, and skipped records. One-click rollback is available if reconciliation fails. After delta-pickup closes, TCF becomes read-only archive and Twenty is the system of record. Your team can continue working in TCF during cutover while FlitStack AI processes the migration, with delta records synchronized before final go-live.
