Overview
Teams migrate from Upvise to Twenty when per-user pricing outpaces budget, when Upvise's built-in modules (Jobs, Assets, Maintenance) no longer fit how the business has evolved, or when the organization wants data ownership via self-hosting. Upvise stores contacts, companies, jobs, assets, tasks, and custom fields in a per-user-billed cloud model. Twenty uses a People/Companies/Opportunities schema with a metadata-driven custom object layer and a GraphQL API. FlitStack AI extracts data from Upvise's REST endpoints, maps fields with type-aware logic, and loads into Twenty via GraphQL mutations and the /metadata API. Critical constraint: Twenty's CSV import limit is 20,000 records per operation, so large Upvise datasets require batched extraction. We sequence the load as Companies → People → Opportunities → custom objects to satisfy Twenty's foreign-key requirements. Custom fields migrate as Twenty custom fields created via metadata API before data lands. Upvise's Cloud IDE workflows and custom form layouts (PDF/Excel exports) do not migrate — we export those definitions as a rebuild reference. Activity history (calls, emails, meetings) becomes Twenty Tasks and Events with original timestamps and owner links. Files re-upload to Twenty Files and attach to parent records.
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 Upvise 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.
Upvise
Contact
Twenty CRM
People
1:1Upvise contacts map directly to Twenty People records. Email is the unique identifier — we use it for de-duplication during import. Contacts without an email are imported with a generated placeholder address and flagged for review before the full migration run commits.
Upvise
Company
Twenty CRM
Companies
1:1Upvise company records map 1:1 to Twenty Companies. The domain field (company.website) serves as the unique reference when linking People records via companyId. Multi-contact companies in Upvise link to the same Twenty Company record — no duplication occurs during import, preserving the original relationship structure.
Upvise
Deal / Opportunity (within Sales app)
Twenty CRM
Opportunities
1:1Upvise deal data (deal name, amount, stage, close date, owner) maps to Twenty Opportunities. Pipeline stages from Upvise become Twenty Opportunity stage pick-list values — we map them value-by-value and flag any stage with no direct equivalent for your team to confirm the target state.
Upvise
Task
Twenty CRM
Tasks
1:1Upvise tasks migrate as Twenty Tasks. The task body, due date, status, and assigned user all transfer. Tasks are linked to their parent People, Companies, or Opportunities record via Twenty's relation field system — we map the parent reference during import to preserve context.
Upvise
Note / Notebook
Twenty CRM
Notes
1:1Upvise notebook entries map to Twenty Notes with the full note body preserved. Notes in Twenty can be attached to People, Companies, Opportunities, and custom objects — we restore the target record link from Upvise's note association data. Inline images embedded in notes are extracted separately, rehosted to Twenty Files, and the link is updated in the note body before migration completes.
Upvise
Job (Upvise Jobs module)
Twenty CRM
Opportunities
1:1Upvise Jobs (a field-service/work-order module) has no direct Twenty equivalent. We map Job name to Opportunity.name, Job amount to Opportunity.amount, and Job status to a custom Opportunity stage. Field-service-specific fields (priority, location, assigned technician) become custom fields — your admin confirms the schema before migration runs.
Upvise
Asset (Upvise Assets module)
Twenty CRM
Custom Object
1:1Upvise Assets (equipment, inventory items) require a custom object in Twenty since Twenty has no native asset management module. We create an Assets custom object via the /metadata API, define its fields from Upvise's Asset schema, and link Assets to their associated Company records using a relation field. Your admin reviews field labels and confirms the schema before data loads.
Upvise
Maintenance (Upvise Maintenance module)
Twenty CRM
Custom Object
1:1Upvise Maintenance records (service tickets, work orders) map to a Maintenance custom object in Twenty, created via the metadata API. Scheduled date, completion status, and linked Asset/Job references transfer as fields and relations — your team confirms the target object name and field labels during planning.
Upvise
Custom Field (per Upvise module)
Twenty CRM
Custom Field (Twenty metadata API)
1:1Upvise custom fields defined in the Options menu per module become Twenty custom fields on the corresponding object (People, Companies, Opportunities, or the custom objects above). Field type is preserved: text, number, date, select, multi-select, and URL map to their Twenty equivalents. Pick-list values require value-mapping setup when the target is a select field.
Upvise
File / Attachment
Twenty CRM
Twenty Files
1:1Upvise file attachments on contacts, companies, jobs, or tasks are downloaded from Upvise's storage and re-uploaded to Twenty Files. Each file attaches to its parent record (People, Companies, or Opportunities) using Twenty's file relation model. Inline images in notes are extracted, rehosted, and linked back into the note body.
Upvise
User / Owner
Twenty CRM
WorkspaceMember
1:1Upvise user records resolve against Twenty workspace members by email address match — this is the only reliable link between Upvise owner IDs and Twenty assignees. Records with no matching email are flagged before migration so your team either invites the user to Twenty first or assigns to a fallback owner.
Upvise
Timesheet / Expense (Upvise)
Twenty CRM
Custom Object
1:1Upvise Timesheet and Expense records have no direct equivalent in Twenty's core schema. We create Timesheet and Expense custom objects via the metadata API, mapping hours/amount, date, and linked user/company references. Your admin reviews field labels and confirms the schema before data loads.
Upvise
Form (Upvise custom forms)
Twenty CRM
No equivalent — custom field setup
1:1Upvise custom form layouts (PDF and Excel exports) are a presentation-layer construct with no data model counterpart. The form fields map to Upvise custom fields, which we migrate as Twenty custom fields. The PDF/Excel layout itself cannot migrate — we recommend exporting a sample form as a reference for your admin to recreate in your preferred document tool.

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.
Upvise gotchas
No public API means migration relies on manual export
Custom field types may not map directly to destination schemas
Form scripting logic does not transfer to non-Upvise destinations
User seat count is migration-scope critical
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 Upvise data structure and plan Twenty schema
FlitStack AI reviews your Upvise account's object inventory — contacts, companies, deals, Jobs/Assets/Maintenance modules, custom fields, and task/activity history. We identify which Upvise modules need custom objects in Twenty and prepare the /metadata API calls to create them before any data loads. Your team confirms field labels, types, and pick-list values for all custom fields and custom objects during this phase so the schema is finalized before extraction begins.
Export Upvise data in dependency order
We extract data from Upvise via its REST API following Twenty's foreign-key constraint requirements: Companies first to establish baseline records, then People linked via companyId, then Opportunities and Tasks, and finally custom objects like Assets, Maintenance, Timesheet, and Expense. For datasets exceeding Twenty's 20,000-record export ceiling, we batch the extraction by date range or object slice. Upvise Cloud IDE workflow definitions are exported as a structured reference document for your Twenty admin's rebuild effort.
Map fields and load data into Twenty
Each field is mapped with type-aware logic: text, number, date, email, URL, and pick-list values transform according to the field_mapping plan. Owner/assignee fields resolve by email match to Twenty workspace members — unmatched users are flagged for your team to resolve before the full load. Custom fields are created via the /metadata API before their host object loads. Files and attachments are downloaded from Upvise storage and re-uploaded to Twenty Files with parent-record links restored.
Run sample migration with field-level validation
A representative slice of data — typically 100–500 records covering contacts, companies, opportunities, tasks, and one Jobs record — migrates first. We generate a field-level diff report showing source values against destination values for every mapped field so your team can verify stage mapping, custom field population, owner resolution, and file attachment links before the full run commits.
Cut over with delta pickup and rollback available
The full migration loads into Twenty with a 24–48 hour delta-pickup window capturing any records created or modified in Upvise during the cutover. Your team continues working in Upvise throughout this window. An audit log records every operation; one-click rollback reverts Twenty to its pre-migration state if reconciliation uncovers unexpected data divergence. After delta pickup closes, Upvise becomes read-only and Twenty is the live system.
