Overview
Twenty CRM stores data in four core objects — People (contacts), Companies, Opportunities, and Tasks/Notes — with a relational model built on PostgreSQL. HubSpot uses Contacts (with lifecycle_stage as a single unifying property), Companies, Deals (HubSpot's term for Opportunities), and a native engagement logging system. The migration maps each Twenty People record to a HubSpot Contact, creates or links the corresponding HubSpot Company record, and converts Opportunities to HubSpot Deals with pipeline and stage preserved as HubSpot-native deal properties. Custom objects in Twenty map 1:1 to HubSpot custom objects where available, though Twenty's flexible data model may require HubSpot custom properties or custom objects to be pre-created. FlitStack's migration engine reads Twenty's REST and GraphQL APIs to pull full record payloads, resolves owner email addresses against HubSpot users, and loads data via HubSpot's Bulk API for large volumes or the CRM API v3 for smaller sets. Activity history — Tasks and Notes in Twenty — migrates as HubSpot engagements with original timestamps and associated contact links intact. Workflows, sequences, and any automation logic inside Twenty cannot migrate because HubSpot has no equivalent workflow engine that accepts imported rule definitions; FlitStack exports the workflow structure as a JSON specification your HubSpot admin rebuilds inside HubSpot's automation builder.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a Twenty CRM object lands in HubSpot, 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
HubSpot
Contact
1:1Twenty People records migrate directly to HubSpot Contacts. The email address is the unique identifier used for de-duplication and owner matching. Any Person without an email address is flagged as a partial record and either assigned to a default owner or held for manual review before the full migration runs.
Twenty CRM
People.jobTitle
HubSpot
Contact
1:1Maps to the HubSpot jobtitle standard property. If the source field is empty, the property is left blank — no default value is inserted to avoid polluting reporting. Job title values are stored as free-text in both systems, so no value mapping is required.
Twenty CRM
People (with no associated Opportunity)
HubSpot
Lead
1:manyHubSpot differentiates Leads from Contacts. FlitStack classifies Twenty People without an associated Opportunity as HubSpot Leads. If a Lead converts to a Contact in HubSpot post-migration, the conversion links the record to the existing Contact and preserves the original create date from Twenty as the Lead creation date.
Twenty CRM
Company
HubSpot
Company
1:1Twenty Companies map 1:1 to HubSpot Companies. The domain field in Twenty populates the HubSpot website property. Parent-child company hierarchies in Twenty (where a company has a linked parent company) migrate using HubSpot's parent company association. Circular references are flagged and resolved by flattening to the top-level parent.
Twenty CRM
Opportunity
HubSpot
Deal
1:1Twenty Opportunities migrate as HubSpot Deals. The deal name maps to dealname, amount maps to amount, and close date maps to closedate. Each Twenty Opportunity is associated with one Company (via companyId) and optionally linked to People records through the opportunity's contact associations.
Twenty CRM
Opportunity.stage
HubSpot
Deal.pipeline + Deal.stage
1:1Twenty stage values are mapped value-by-value to the target HubSpot pipeline stage. If the target pipeline does not yet exist in HubSpot, FlitStack creates a default pipeline and stage set before migration. Probability and forecast category are set per stage as part of the value mapping. Teams with multiple Twenty pipelines map each one to a separate HubSpot pipeline.
Twenty CRM
Task
HubSpot
Engagement (Task)
1:1Twenty Tasks map to HubSpot engagements of type TASK. The task body becomes the note on the engagement. The assignee resolves against HubSpot users by email. Completed tasks carry their completion timestamp as the engagement date. Tasks linked to multiple records in Twenty are logged against the primary contact in HubSpot with a reference note.
Twenty CRM
Note
HubSpot
Engagement (Note)
1:1Twenty Notes migrate as HubSpot engagement notes attached to the relevant Contact or Company. The rich-text content is preserved where HubSpot's note format allows. If Twenty notes contain embedded images, those are downloaded and re-hosted as HubSpot file attachments linked to the note.
Twenty CRM
Custom Object
HubSpot
Custom Object
1:1Twenty custom objects map 1:1 to HubSpot custom objects (HubSpot Enterprise only). If the destination HubSpot instance is not on Enterprise, FlitStack creates a custom object-like structure using custom properties on the standard Contact or Company object. The mapping plan specifies which approach applies before migration begins.
Twenty CRM
People (phone, mobile phone)
HubSpot
Contact.phoneNumber / Contact.mobilePhoneNumber
1:1Twenty's phone and phonenumber fields map directly to HubSpot's phoneNumber and mobilePhoneNumber standard properties. Both fields store values as free-text strings with no format normalization applied during migration. Phone number formatting and validation—including international prefixes, dashes, parentheses, and extensions—should be run as a post-migration data-quality step using a dedicated validation tool or HubSpot workflow to standardize formats across your contact records.
Twenty CRM
People (linked to multiple Companies)
HubSpot
Contact (primary Company) + Company Contact Association
1:1Twenty allows a Person to be associated with multiple Companies. HubSpot Contacts have one primary Company association. FlitStack sets the most-recently-modified Company in Twenty as the primary in HubSpot and adds secondary associations using HubSpot's Company Contact Relationships feature (available in Sales Hub Professional and above).
Twenty CRM
Opportunity (assigned owner)
HubSpot
Deal.ownerId
1:1Twenty owner IDs resolve to HubSpot user IDs by matching the email address stored on the Twenty workspace member. Unmatched owners are flagged before migration — your team either invites them to HubSpot first or assigns their records to a designated fallback owner. No deal lands in HubSpot without a resolved owner.
Twenty CRM
Twenty workspace member (internal user)
HubSpot
HubSpot User
1:1Workspace Members in Twenty are matched to HubSpot Users by email. The match is 1:1 where the email exists in both systems. HubSpot's user-level permissions and team structure are not migrated — those are destination-side configuration that your HubSpot admin sets up separately.
Twenty CRM
Activity (Task + Note timestamps)
HubSpot
Engagement (createDate / updatedAt)
1:1Original create dates from Twenty records are preserved as custom datetime fields in HubSpot (Created_From_Source__c) because HubSpot sets CreatedDate at the time of import. This preserves historical reporting continuity — your HubSpot analytics can reference the original creation date from Twenty alongside the HubSpot migration timestamp.

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
HubSpot gotchas
Marketing Contacts billing model is migration-critical
Feature tier gating is not visible until onboarding
Mandatory onboarding fees inflate year-one cost
HubSpot CSV importer cannot migrate engagements or attachments
Custom objects require Enterprise and a pre-existing schema
Pair-specific challenges
Migration approach
Audit Twenty's data model and export full record payloads
FlitStack connects to Twenty's REST API using credentials scoped to the workspace. We export every standard object (People, Company, Opportunity, Task, Note) and every custom object as a full JSON payload — not just the fields visible in the default view. Because Twenty's CSV export caps at 20,000 records per file, we use the API for all record volumes. The audit phase also captures relationship metadata: which People are linked to which Companies, which Opportunities have which People associated, and which Tasks/Notes belong to which records. This gives us the complete relational graph before we write a single line of field mapping logic.
Design the HubSpot schema and pre-create pipelines, custom objects, and custom properties
Before any data moves, FlitStack delivers a HubSpot schema setup plan: pipeline names and stage definitions, custom object schemas (if on Enterprise), and any custom properties needed to store Twenty-specific fields. We also create the value-mapping tables for pick-list fields — stage names, industry values, and any custom select fields in Twenty. Your HubSpot admin executes the schema setup plan in your HubSpot portal. Once confirmed, FlitStack validates the schema is in place before triggering the migration engine.
Run a sample migration with field-level diff
A representative slice — typically 100–500 records spanning People, Companies, Deals, and a mix of custom properties — migrates first. FlitStack generates a field-level diff comparing each source field against the destination field value so you can verify the mapping is correct before committing. The diff surfaces issues like: wrong probability on a deal stage, blank job title where a value was expected, or a company association that failed to resolve. Your team reviews the diff and signs off before the full migration is scheduled.
Execute full migration with owner resolution and activity history
The full migration loads all records in the correct sequence: Companies first (since Contacts and Deals have foreign keys to them), then People split into Contacts and Leads, then Opportunities as Deals with stage and pipeline mapping. Owner IDs resolve against HubSpot users by email — unmatched owners are held in a flag report and assigned to a fallback owner you designate. Task and Note records migrate as HubSpot engagements with original timestamps and parent record links. For large volumes, FlitStack uses HubSpot's Bulk API to keep migration time within the 48–72 hour window.
Capture delta changes during cutover and run post-migration validation
After the full migration completes, FlitStack opens a delta-pickup window of 24–48 hours. Any record created or modified in Twenty during this window is captured and merged into HubSpot so the destination reflects Twenty's final state at go-live. Post-migration validation checks record counts, association integrity (every Deal linked to a Company, every Contact linked to at least one Company), and a spot-check of field values against the source export. An audit log records every operation. If validation fails, one-click rollback reverts the HubSpot instance to its pre-migration state.
