Overview
Trade Service Pro organizes field service data around jobs, work orders, and scheduling within a single operational module. Twenty CRM uses a People-Companies-Opportunities model with a custom-object layer built via Settings → Data Model, requiring explicit schema creation before any import runs. FlitStack AI extracts Trade Service Pro records via its documented export pathway, maps customer contacts to Twenty People, job records to Opportunities with custom stage fields, and pushes work orders, proposals, and pricebook data into Twenty custom objects. TSP owner assignments map to Twenty workspace members matched by email. We sequence imports in dependency order — custom objects first, then Companies, then People, then Opportunities — so foreign-key relationships resolve cleanly. File attachments require manual re-upload to Twenty since CSV exports exclude binary data. Workflows, scheduling automations, and QuickBooks sync configurations cannot migrate and must be rebuilt in Twenty's workflow builder or via third-party integration. The delta-pickup window (24–48 hours) captures in-flight changes during cutover, and FlitStack generates a field-level diff before committing the full run.
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 Trade Service Pro 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.
Trade Service Pro
Customer (TSP Contact)
Twenty CRM
People
1:1TSP customer records map directly to Twenty People. First name, last name, email, phone, address, and job title migrate as standard People fields. TSP customer records without an email address are flagged during validation — email is required for workspace member matching on owner resolution.
Trade Service Pro
Company (TSP Company)
Twenty CRM
Companies
1:1TSP company records (business accounts for which technicians perform jobs) map to Twenty Companies. Company name, domain/website, industry, employee count, and annual revenue migrate as standard Companies fields. TSP stores no native parent-company hierarchy — all company records land flat in Twenty.
Trade Service Pro
Job
Twenty CRM
Opportunities
1:1TSP jobs are the core sales and service record. Migrate as Twenty Opportunities with a custom select field Job_Type__c capturing the TSP job type, and a custom select field Service_Category__c for industry-specific categories. Opportunity Amount maps from TSP job total. Close date maps from scheduled completion date. Stage name maps via value mapping to a custom Opportunity Stage pick-list.
Trade Service Pro
Job Stage / Status
Twenty CRM
Custom Select Field (Opportunities)
1:1TSP job statuses (e.g., Scheduled, In Progress, Completed, Invoiced, Cancelled) have no native equivalent in Twenty's Opportunity stages. Each TSP status maps to a custom pick-list value on a custom Opportunities__Stage field. Probability is not automatically derived — reapply forecast assumptions in Twenty after migration.
Trade Service Pro
Work Order
Twenty CRM
Custom Object: Work_Order__c
1:1TSP work orders (line-item breakdowns of a job) have no standard Twenty equivalent. We create a Work_Order__c custom object via Twenty's Settings → Data Model before import, with fields for Work_Order_Number__c, Linked_Job_ID__c (references the Opportunities record), description, and status. Each work order record migrates as a row linked to its parent job.
Trade Service Pro
Proposal / Estimate
Twenty CRM
Custom Object: Proposal__c
1:1TSP proposals and estimates migrate as a custom Proposal__c object. Fields include Proposal_Number__c, Linked_Job_ID__c (Opportunity lookup), total_amount__c, valid_until_date__c, and eSign_status__c (if TSP records signature state). Proposal body content migrates as a long-text field; formatting is preserved where TSP exports support it.
Trade Service Pro
Invoice
Twenty CRM
Custom Object: Invoice__c
1:1TSP invoices migrate as a custom Invoice__c object linked to the Opportunities record. Fields include Invoice_Number__c, invoice_date__c, total_amount__c, balance_due__c, payment_status__c (paid, partial, outstanding), and QuickBooks_ID__c for reconciliation if QB sync is rebuilt. Tax and line-item breakdowns preserved as child records of the Invoice object.
Trade Service Pro
Pricebook / Product
Twenty CRM
Custom Object: Product__c
1:1TSP pricebook entries (products, services, and inventory items) migrate as a custom Product__c object. Fields include name, category__c (from TSP categorization), unit_price__c, unit_of_measure__c, and inventory_level__c. TSP inventory status flags (in-stock, low-stock, discontinued) map to a select field on the Product record.
Trade Service Pro
Timesheet / Time Entry
Twenty CRM
Custom Object: Timesheet__c
1:1TSP employee timesheet records (clock in/out, job timers, break entries) migrate as a custom Timesheet__c object. Fields include employee_name__c, date__c, hours_worked__c, job_link__c (Opportunity lookup), and timer_type__c (clock, job, break). Twenty has no native timesheet or time-tracking module — this custom object provides historical record continuity.
Trade Service Pro
User / Owner
Twenty CRM
WorkspaceMember (People relation)
1:1TSP user accounts and job owners resolve to Twenty workspace members matched by email address. All TSP users must accept their Twenty workspace invitation before the migration import runs, per Twenty's constraint that owner relations require an accepted member record. Unmatched owners are flagged as exceptions — assign to a fallback owner or invite the user before migration commits.
Trade Service Pro
Activity (Call, Email, Meeting)
Twenty CRM
Tasks
1:1TSP logged calls, emails, and meeting records migrate as Twenty Tasks linked to the relevant Opportunities or People record. Task Subject carries the activity type and description. Original timestamp preserved in the Task's due date or a custom created_at field. TSP does not export calendar-synced meeting data — confirm export availability per TSP account tier.
Trade Service Pro
Note / Attachment
Twenty CRM
Notes + File Attachments
1:1TSP notes migrate as Twenty Notes attached to the parent record (People, Companies, or Opportunities). Note body carries the full text content. TSP file attachments do not export via CSV — these must be manually re-uploaded to Twenty after migration or migrated via Twenty's GraphQL API if the files are accessible through TSP's storage layer.

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.
Trade Service Pro gotchas
No public API forces reliance on in-app CSV exports
Active timesheet timers do not export in CSV
eSign status on Proposals does not carry over
Attachment bulk download requires separate handling
No schema documentation complicitates field mapping
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 TSP data and build the Twenty schema plan
FlitStack extracts a full data inventory from Trade Service Pro covering all customer contacts, companies, jobs, work orders, proposals, invoices, pricebook entries, timesheet records, and activity history. We count records per object, identify custom fields TSP has configured, and assess attachment volume. Simultaneously, we build the Twenty schema-setup plan: which custom objects to create (Work_Order__c, Proposal__c, Invoice__c, Product__c, Timesheet__c), which custom fields to add to Opportunities and People, and what pick-list values each select field needs. This plan is delivered before any data extraction so your Twenty workspace is ready when import begins.
Invite all TSP users to Twenty and resolve owner mappings
All TSP users who are assigned as job owners or dispatchers need a Twenty workspace account before owner relations can populate. FlitStack exports the TSP user list, matches each owner email against the TSP roster, and generates a batch-invite plan. Unmatched owners (TSP users with no corresponding Twenty account) are flagged with a fallback assignment recommendation. Owner mapping waits until all invitations are accepted or resolved, preventing records from landing with null workspaceMemberId values.
Create custom objects and fields in Twenty
With the schema plan in hand, we (or your admin) create all custom objects in Settings → Data Model: Work_Order__c, Proposal__c, Invoice__c, Product__c, and Timesheet__c. Each object gets its field definitions — name, type, required/optional, and pick-list options for status and category fields. Standard objects (People, Companies, Opportunities) receive any additional custom fields needed (Job_Type__c, Service_Category__c, Original_Create_Date__c). This step is validated before data extraction begins — Twenty will reject any CSV import that references a field not yet defined.
Run a sample migration with field-level diff
A representative slice — typically 200–500 records spanning contacts, companies, jobs, work orders, and proposals — migrates first. FlitStack generates a field-level diff comparing source TSP values against Twenty destination fields, surfacing any pick-list mismatches, null lookups, truncated text fields, or date-format issues before the full run. You review the diff and approve field mappings. This is the validation gate before any production data commits.
Execute full migration with delta-pickup window
The full dataset migrates in dependency order: Companies first, then People with companyId links, then Opportunities with accountId and People links, then custom objects (Work Orders, Proposals, Invoices, Products, Timesheets) last. A delta-pickup window — typically 24–48 hours — runs concurrently with your team's continued TSP work, capturing any records created or modified during the cutover window. FlitStack's audit log tracks every record written, and one-click rollback reverts the full import if reconciliation identifies data integrity issues. After validation, TSP is set to read-only or decommissioned per your plan.
