Overview
Moving from Twenty CRM to GoHighLevel is a schema translation from a developer-focused open-source CRM into an all-in-one marketing and agency platform. Twenty's five-object model (People, Companies, Opportunities, Tasks, Notes) maps to GoHighLevel's Contacts, Companies, Deals, Tasks, and Notes with additional translation for pipeline stages and custom field types. GoHighLevel's sub-account architecture and flat monthly pricing model (starting at $97/month for Starter, $297/month for Unlimited) represent a structural shift from Twenty's per-seat cloud tiers ($9-$19/user/month) and self-hosted free tier. We extract data from Twenty's PostgreSQL-backed export layer, map companyId foreign keys explicitly, handle Twenty's soft-delete uniqueness constraint to avoid restoring deleted records as duplicates, and load into GoHighLevel Contacts and Deals respecting GoHighLevel's import ordering. Workflow automations and email sequences do not migrate; we document every active automation for rebuild in GoHighLevel's workflow builder.
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 Twenty CRM object lands in HighLevel, including any object-level transformations, lookup resolution, or schema-design dependencies.
Typical mapping — final map is confirmed during the sample migration step.
Twenty CRM
People
HighLevel
Contact
1:1Twenty People records map directly to GoHighLevel Contacts. Email is the primary dedupe key during import. We map name fields (firstName, lastName, displayName) to GoHighLevel's contactName structure. Phone, jobTitle, and any custom fields on People migrate as GoHighLevel custom fields. The companyId reference on People resolves to a previously imported GoHighLevel Company record before Contact insert to satisfy GoHighLevel's company-contact relationship.
Twenty CRM
Company
HighLevel
Company
1:1Twenty Company records map to GoHighLevel Companies. Domain, industry, size, and location fields translate to GoHighLevel Company fields directly. GoHighLevel Companies must import before People because Contacts reference the parent Company. We use domain as the dedupe key. If a Contact's companyId references a Company not yet imported, we hold the Contact in a resolution queue.
Twenty CRM
Opportunity
HighLevel
Deal (Pipeline)
1:1Twenty Opportunities map to GoHighLevel Deals inside a configured Pipeline. The Twenty opportunity stage maps to a GoHighLevel Pipeline stage value. We pre-create the GoHighLevel Pipeline with stage names matching the Twenty stage labels before migration begins. Amount and close date migrate directly. The opportunity's linked CompanyId and PersonId (primary contact) resolve to the imported GoHighLevel Company and Contact respectively at migration time.
Twenty CRM
Task
HighLevel
Task
1:1Twenty Tasks migrate to GoHighLevel Tasks with title, due date, assignee, and completion status preserved. Task assignment resolves via owner email matching to GoHighLevel User records. The task's relational target (linked to People, Companies, or Opportunities) migrates as a GoHighLevel tag or custom field indicating the related record type, since GoHighLevel Tasks do not expose the same polymorphic WhatId model as Salesforce.
Twenty CRM
Note
HighLevel
Note
1:1Twenty Notes migrate as GoHighLevel Notes attached to the related Contact or Company. Note body content transfers as plain text. If the Note references a People or Company record, we link it to the corresponding imported GoHighLevel Contact or Company. Notes on Opportunities attach to the primary linked Contact as a fallback since GoHighLevel Deals do not have a native notes attachment object.
Twenty CRM
Custom Object
HighLevel
Custom Object
1:1Twenty Custom Objects (unlimited on Organization tier, capped at 10 on Pro) migrate to GoHighLevel custom objects configured in the destination workspace before data import. We create the GoHighLevel custom object schema with fields mapped by type — text fields, number fields, date fields, and picklist fields. Custom object records import last, after all standard object imports, to resolve any cross-object lookup references. If GoHighLevel is on Starter tier ($97/mo), custom objects may be limited; we confirm tier during discovery.
Twenty CRM
Owner
HighLevel
User
1:1Twenty Owner records (the user who owns a record) map to GoHighLevel User accounts. We resolve owners by email match. Any Twenty Owner without a matching GoHighLevel User is held in a reconciliation queue for the customer's admin to provision before record import resumes, since OwnerId references are required on standard object inserts.
Twenty CRM
Activity (engagement metadata)
HighLevel
Task / Custom Field
lossyTwenty does not have native first-class engagement objects for calls, emails, and meetings — it lacks the activity timeline depth of platforms like HubSpot. Any engagement metadata stored in custom fields or linked notes migrates as GoHighLevel custom fields on the Contact or as Notes. We flag this limitation during discovery so the customer understands that the activity timeline inside GoHighLevel will be populated by GoHighLevel-native tracking (calls, emails, SMS logged via the platform) going forward, not from historical Twenty data.

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.
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
HighLevel gotchas
Sub-account architecture creates isolated data silos per client
Usage-based telecom and AI costs are not in the subscription price
Workflows have no native equivalent in most destination CRMs
API rate limits cap bulk migration throughput at 100 requests per 10 seconds per sub-account
White-label configuration and branding assets do not export via API
Pair-specific challenges
Migration approach
Discovery and tier confirmation
We audit the source Twenty workspace: record counts for People, Companies, Opportunities, Tasks, Notes, and any Custom Objects; the active pipeline stages and their probability values; the list of active workflows and email sequences requiring documentation; and any custom field definitions. We confirm the GoHighLevel destination tier (Starter at $97/mo, Unlimited at $297/mo, or SaaS Pro at $497/mo) based on custom object requirements and sub-account needs. The discovery output is a written migration scope, a field-level mapping document, and a GoHighLevel pipeline configuration plan.
GoHighLevel pipeline and schema configuration
Before any data loads, we configure the GoHighLevel destination workspace: creating Pipelines with stage names matching Twenty's opportunity stages, setting stage probabilities, and creating any custom fields needed to receive Twenty's custom object data. We also create the custom object schema in GoHighLevel if the customer is on Unlimited or SaaS Pro tier. Schema configuration happens in a staging or sandbox environment first, validated against a sample of migrated records before the full production load.
Twenty data export and pre-migration cleanup
We extract data from Twenty in the required sequence: Companies first, then People, then Opportunities, then Tasks, Notes, and Custom Objects. We pre-configure each export view to expose all fields and chunk exports exceeding 20,000 records by date range. We coordinate with the customer on soft-deleted records and any duplicate email conflicts. If Twenty is self-hosted, we connect to the PostgreSQL database directly for export; if cloud-hosted, we use the Twenty API or CSV export with the visible-columns workaround.
Sandbox migration and reconciliation
We run a full migration into the GoHighLevel staging environment using production-like record volumes. The customer's admin reconciles record counts (Companies in, People in, Deals in, Tasks in, Notes in), spot-checks 25-50 records against the Twenty source for field accuracy, and signs off the mapping and pipeline configuration before production migration begins. Any field mapping corrections, stage name adjustments, or custom field additions happen here.
Production migration in dependency order
We run the production migration in strict sequence: Companies (first), People (with companyId resolved), Opportunities (with pipeline and stage assigned), Tasks, Notes, Custom Objects (last). Each phase emits a row-count reconciliation report before the next phase begins. We handle owner resolution by email match against GoHighLevel Users, holding any unresolved owners in a queue for the customer's admin to provision. GoHighLevel's API handles deduplication by email for Contacts and by domain for Companies.
Cutover, validation, and workflow handoff
We freeze Twenty writes during cutover and run a final delta migration of any records modified during the migration window. We validate record counts and spot-check 20-30 records in GoHighLevel against the source. We deliver the workflow inventory document describing every active Twenty workflow and its recommended GoHighLevel automation equivalent. We support a three-day hypercare window where we resolve any data quality issues discovered post-migration. We do not rebuild Twenty workflows as GoHighLevel automations inside the migration scope; that is a separate configuration engagement.
