Overview
Visionary positions itself as an affordable CRM at $20 per user per month, but teams consistently report that its feature set caps out for anything beyond basic contact and pipeline tracking. Twenty CRM — the open-source Salesforce alternative backed by Y Combinator and Runa Capital — offers a full PostgreSQL-backed data model with REST and GraphQL API access, custom objects, a workflow builder, and no per-feature add-on pricing. We map Visionary contacts to Twenty People, companies to Twenty Companies, deals to Twenty Opportunities, and any custom objects Visionary supports to Twenty custom objects. The migration carries data and relationships only; Visionary workflows, email templates, and custom field configurations must be rebuilt in Twenty's workflow engine and field settings. We sequence the import as Twenty requires — Companies first, then People with companyId links, then Opportunities — using CSV exports from Visionary and Twenty's import API. A delta-pickup window captures any in-flight records during cutover. The whole process runs on scoped read access to Visionary, so your team keeps working throughout.
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 Visionary 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.
Visionary
Contact
Twenty CRM
People
1:1Visionary contacts map to Twenty People records. The name field splits into firstName and lastName. Email, phone, job title, and address fields map to their Twenty equivalents. We preserve the Visionary contact ID in a custom field (source_id__c) for traceability and delta-run de-duplication.
Visionary
Company
Twenty CRM
Companies
1:1Visionary company records map to Twenty Companies. Company name, domain, industry, employee count, and annual revenue fields map directly. Twenty's domain field is used for company website. Parent-company relationships in Visionary map to Twenty's relation fields if hierarchical structure exists.
Visionary
Deal
Twenty CRM
Opportunities
1:1Visionary deals map to Twenty Opportunities. Deal name becomes opportunity name, amount maps directly, stage maps via value mapping since stage names differ between platforms, and close date maps to expectedCloseDate. The linked companyId is resolved against the Companies import batch.
Visionary
Pipeline Stage
Twenty CRM
Opportunity Stage
1:1Visionary pipeline stage names do not match Twenty's default stage set. We map Visionary stage values to Twenty Opportunity stage values by your specified target pipeline. Stage-entered timestamps are preserved as custom datetime fields in Twenty since Twenty does not natively track stage-transition timestamps.
Visionary
Activity / Engagement
Twenty CRM
Tasks
1:1Visionary logged calls, emails, and meeting activities map to Twenty Tasks. Task type (call, email, meeting) maps to Twenty's type field. Subject, body, and original timestamps are preserved. Tasks are linked to their parent People or Opportunities record via Twenty's relation fields.
Visionary
Note
Twenty CRM
Notes
1:1Visionary notes map to Twenty Notes. Rich-text formatting is preserved where possible. Notes are linked to their parent record (People, Companies, or Opportunities) via Twenty's relation fields during import. Author and create date are preserved as metadata on the Note record.
Visionary
Owner / User
Twenty CRM
Workspace Member
1:1Visionary owner assignments on contacts, companies, and deals map to Twenty Workspace Members. We resolve by email match — Visionary owner email links to a Twenty user by email. Unmatched owners are flagged before migration; you either invite them to Twenty or assign their records to a fallback member.
Visionary
Custom Object
Twenty CRM
Custom Object
1:1Visionary custom objects map to Twenty custom objects. If Visionary supports custom objects, we map them 1:1 to Twenty's custom object model. Custom-object relationships that use N:N linking in Visionary may need Twenty junction objects — we surface this in the migration plan before execution.
Visionary
Attachment / File
Twenty CRM
Files (attached to records)
1:1Visionary file attachments are downloaded from Visionary and re-uploaded as Twenty Files attached to their parent records. File size limits follow Twenty's import constraints and vary by plan tier. Inline images embedded in Visionary notes are extracted and rehosted as Twenty Files where the import format allows, ensuring images display correctly after migration.
Visionary
Lead Status
Twenty CRM
People stage / Custom field
1:1If Visionary tracks lead status as a separate field from lifecycle stage, we map it to a custom field on Twenty People. Twenty has no native lead-status concept — Twenty People records do not include a built-in lead-status field. The field is preserved as a custom pick-list field for reporting continuity and can be used in Twenty filters and views.

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.
Visionary gotchas
Visionary brand is heavily reused across software categories
Trust accounting and IOLTA compliance must be preserved exactly
Document management is the highlighted feature — migrate documents and their links
Voice-recognition / audio-video synced deposition files are binary and large
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 Visionary data inventory and export capability
We connect to Visionary via scoped read access and inventory all record types: contacts, companies, deals, activities, notes, and any custom objects. We export sample records for each type and assess field coverage, data quality, relationship density, and export format compatibility. This phase identifies custom fields, duplicate risk, and whether Visionary's export format requires pre-transformation before Twenty's import API accepts it.
Configure Twenty workspace schema
Before data moves, we configure the Twenty workspace: create custom objects (if Visionary has them), add custom fields for lead status and original create dates, and set up relation fields for companyId and personId links. Twenty's field naming follows its own conventions — we align Visionary field names to Twenty's expected column headers during CSV preparation. The import template is validated against Twenty's latest import API requirements.
Sequence and run the migration in correct dependency order
We execute the migration in Four batches: Companies first, then People with companyId links, then Opportunities with companyId and personId links, then Tasks and Notes with their parent record links. Owner resolution happens in parallel — Visionary owner emails are matched to Twenty Workspace Members by email. Any owner without a Twenty match is flagged for your team to invite or reassign before the final import batch commits.
Run sample migration with field-level diff
A representative slice (typically 200–500 records per object type) migrates first. We generate a field-level diff between the Visionary export and the Twenty import result — verifying field-level mapping accuracy, relationship integrity, and owner resolution. You review the diff before the full run commits. This step catches value-mapping mismatches, truncated text fields, and missing relations before thousands of records are loaded.
Cut over with delta-pickup and rollback guard
The full migration commits against Twenty. A delta-pickup window (typically 24–48 hours) captures any Visionary records modified or created during the cutover period. Audit logs record every operation. If reconciliation fails — record counts don't match, relationship integrity breaks — one-click rollback reverts to the pre-migration state while we re-run the corrected migration. Your team continues working in Visionary throughout.
