Overview
Uptick structures its data around field-service workflows: accounts, assets, asset types, variants, work orders, products, and quotes. Every object carries fire-industry-specific properties that have no direct counterpart in a general CRM. Twenty CRM ships standard People, Companies, Opportunities, Notes, and Tasks objects plus a custom-object layer built on a PostgreSQL-backed metadata schema. Migrating from Uptick to Twenty requires mapping a domain-specific data model (assets, service schedules, regulatory compliance fields) into Twenty's generic object graph, creating custom objects for Work Orders and any industry-specific records, and resolving relationships across the account–asset–work-order hierarchy before importing. FlitStack AI extracts Uptick data via the CSV bulk importer and REST API, transforms every field to match Twenty's schema conventions, sequences imports so foreign keys resolve (companies first, then people, then opportunities), and runs a delta pickup window after cutover to capture any records created or updated during the transition. Workflows, scheduling rules, and field-service automation logic must be rebuilt manually in Twenty's workflow builder — we export the definitions as a reference document so nothing is lost in translation.
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 Uptick 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.
Uptick
Account
Twenty CRM
Company
1:1Uptick accounts map directly to Twenty Companies. The account name becomes the Company.displayName. Site address, phone, and primary contact fields transfer as standard Company fields. Multi-site accounts with separate locations become separate Company records linked via a parent-company field in Twenty if the hierarchy is meaningful.
Uptick
Contact (primary site contact)
Twenty CRM
Person
1:1Uptick contact records on an account map to Twenty Person records. The Person.companyId foreign key links to the migrated Company record. Email, phone, job title, and name fields transfer as standard Person fields. Uptick allows multiple contacts per account; each becomes a separate Person record with the same companyId.
Uptick
Asset
Twenty CRM
Custom object: Asset__c
1:1Uptick Assets have no native equivalent in Twenty. We create a custom object Asset__c with fields for asset name, asset type, variant, status, location, and compliance due date. The asset's link to the Account migrates as a Company relation. Service history (past work orders) migrates as related Task records on the Asset__c custom object.
Uptick
AssetType
Twenty CRM
Asset__c.Type (custom pick-list)
1:1Uptick AssetType groups (e.g., all fire extinguishers share the same servicing standard) map to a custom pick-list field Type__c on the Asset__c custom object. Each unique AssetType name in Uptick becomes a pick-list value. Variant sub-types map to a separate Variant__c pick-list on the same object.
Uptick
Work Order
Twenty CRM
Custom object: WorkOrder__c
1:1Work Orders are a core Uptick object with no direct Twenty equivalent. We create a WorkOrder__c custom object with fields for work order number, status (mapped to a custom Status__c pick-list), priority, scheduled date, assigned technician (Person relation), site/asset (Company and Asset__c relations), and completion notes. The status pick-list maps value-by-value from Uptick's work-order status set.
Uptick
Work Order Line Item
Twenty CRM
WorkOrder__c.LineItems (custom field or sub-object)
many:1Uptick work-order line items (product, quantity, unit price, labour time) do not have a native One-to-Many equivalent in Twenty's custom-object model. We store line items as a JSON-serialized custom text field (LineItems__c) or as a separate custom LineItem__c object linked to WorkOrder__c, depending on reporting needs. Your team decides whether to normalize into a sub-object or use a serialized JSON array.
Uptick
Product
Twenty CRM
Custom object: Product__c
1:1Uptick Products (materials, labour, equipment, subcontracted, expense) have no native Twenty equivalent. We create a Product__c custom object with fields for name, type (pick-list), supplier, cost price, estimated time in minutes, and default sell price. The unit-of-measure field (EACH, LEN, WEIGHT) maps to a custom UOM__c pick-list.
Uptick
Quote / Proposal
Twenty CRM
Opportunity
1:1Uptick quotes linked to a work order map to a Twenty Opportunity record. The quote total amount becomes the Opportunity.amount. Quote line items map to a custom OpportunityItem__c junction or serialize into a custom field. The Opportunity is linked to the Company (account) and optionally to the Person (contact) who approved the quote. Quote status (Draft, Sent, Accepted, Rejected) maps to Opportunity stage values.
Uptick
Activity history (calls, emails, site visits)
Twenty CRM
Task / Event
1:1Uptick service activity logs (call summaries, email threads, site-visit notes attached to work orders) migrate as Twenty Task records with the original timestamp and assigned technician (Person) preserved. Call outcome and visit type map to custom pick-list fields on the Task. Meeting-type visits map to Twenty Event records with start/end time.
Uptick
User / Technician
Twenty CRM
WorkspaceMember (Person)
1:1Uptick users and technicians map to Twenty WorkspaceMembers, which appear as Person records with a specific workspace role. Owner resolution uses email matching — each Uptick user email is matched against the email field on a Twenty Person record. Unmatched owners are flagged before migration so your team can create the Person record first.
Uptick
Attachment / File
Twenty CRM
Note / Comment
1:1Uptick file attachments on work orders, assets, or accounts re-upload to Twenty. Photos and documents attached to work orders link to the WorkOrder__c custom object. We preserve the original filename, upload timestamp, and uploader as custom fields. File size limits follow Twenty's storage configuration for self-hosted or cloud deployments.
Uptick
Custom field (on any Uptick standard object)
Twenty CRM
Custom field on corresponding Twenty object
1:1Uptick custom fields on accounts, contacts, assets, and work orders map to custom fields on their Twenty counterparts (Company, Person, Asset__c, WorkOrder__c). Field type mapping: text→text, number→number, date→date, pick-list→select. Multi-select pick-lists in Uptick map to Twenty multi-select fields. Custom field names are preserved as display labels; API names are auto-generated to Twenty's naming convention.

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.
Uptick gotchas
CSV importer is the only documented bulk migration path
Products use type codes (M/R/E/S/X) that require mapping
Telemetry location data requires explicit consent and is not migrated
Asset Type and Variant hierarchy must be replicated in destination
Photo attachments in defect quotes and reports export as file references
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 Uptick data model and generate export packages
FlitStack AI connects to your Uptick workspace via scoped API credentials and audits every standard and custom object. We produce a data inventory: record counts per object, list of all custom fields, and a relationship map (which accounts own which assets, which work orders reference which assets and technicians). This audit determines the migration scope and identifies any Uptick custom fields that require pre-migration cleanup (duplicate accounts, missing email addresses on contacts, null foreign keys on work orders). We generate a data-cleanup checklist before any data moves.
Design Twenty custom-object schema for Work Orders, Assets, and Products
Based on the Uptick data audit, FlitStack delivers a custom-object setup plan for Twenty. This plan specifies every custom field to create on WorkOrder__c, Asset__c, and Product__c — including field names, types, pick-list values, and relations. Your team creates the schema in Twenty (or FlitStack creates it via the Twenty metadata API on request). The schema must be confirmed before import batches are prepared. We also define the import order and the unique-field strategy (email for People, domain for Companies, work order number for WorkOrder__c) that drives Twenty's relation resolution.
Migrate Companies, then People, then Opportunities as foundation objects
We sequence the migration so foreign-key dependencies resolve correctly. Companies migrate first — their displayName and domain become the anchors for all downstream relations. People migrate second with their companyId linking to the migrated Company records. Opportunities (converted Uptick quotes and proposals) migrate third with relations to Company and Person. Owner and technician resolution uses email matching against Twenty Person records; unmatched owners are flagged and assigned to a fallback Person record until your team creates the correct user.
Migrate custom objects (WorkOrder__c, Asset__c, Product__c) with relation resolution
With Companies and People in place, we migrate the three custom objects: Product__c first (no downstream dependencies), then Asset__c (references Company), then WorkOrder__c (references Company, Person, and Asset__c). Each batch is validated against the Twenty schema before committing — field type mismatches, pick-list value gaps, and null required fields are flagged and corrected in the source file before re-upload. We generate a field-level validation report for each batch showing record counts, error counts, and a sample of the first five errors with resolution guidance.
Run sample migration with field-level diff before full commit
A representative slice of records (typically 100–500 per object type) migrates first. We generate a field-level diff comparing source Uptick values against the migrated Twenty values for every field in the mapping. You review the diff and confirm that pick-list value mappings, foreign-key resolutions, and date/timestamp preservation meet expectations. Any mapping corrections are applied to the full migration configuration before the production run commits.
Cutover with delta-pickup and audit log delivery
The full migration runs against your Twenty workspace during a scheduled window. Your team continues working in Uptick throughout the migration. A 24–48 hour delta-pickup window captures any Uptick records created or modified after the initial extraction. FlitStack delivers a complete audit log listing every record created, updated, or skipped, plus a rollback script that reverts Twenty to its pre-migration state if reconciliation fails. After delta-pickup closes, your team cuts over to Twenty and the Uptick read-only freeze begins.
