Overview

What this migration involves

Moving from Wavity CRM to Twenty CRM is a data-first migration constrained by Wavity's absence of a documented public API. There is no bulk export endpoint to query, so every migration begins with coordinated CSV extraction from Wavity's UI or direct support engagement. We handle that extraction process as part of the discovery phase, normalizing multi-file CSV dumps into flat tabular form before importing into Twenty's standard objects. Pipeline stages, custom fields, and any custom objects built in Wavity's Zero Code Designer require schema discovery before migration because they have no standard export format. We deliver a written schema map for every custom object and field so that no relationship data is orphaned. Wavity's built-in wBots RPA workflows, pre-built dashboards, and Help Desk SLA rules do not migrate; we inventory them for the customer's admin to rebuild in Twenty's workflow designer post-migration. Twenty's Cloud Pro tier at $9/user/month (billed annually) or $19/user/month for Organization (SSO, row-level security) replaces Wavity's $30/user annual plan with its 5-user minimum.

Why teams make this switch

Two sides of the same decision

Leaving

Wavity CRM

What's pushing teams away

  • Annual billing requirement with a 5-user minimum can lock small teams into costs for seats they do not use.
  • Lack of transparent public API documentation makes third-party integrations and data export challenging for technical teams.
  • Mid-market positioning means it may lack the advanced enterprise features — complex approval hierarchies, granular audit logs — that larger organizations require.
  • Smaller market share compared to major CRMs results in fewer third-party integrations and a less mature ecosystem of plugins.

Choosing

Twenty CRM logo

Twenty CRM

What's pulling them in

  • Top open-source CRM on GitHub with 40.6K stars, giving teams full source code access and infrastructure ownership without per-feature licensing surprises.
  • Free self-hosting under AGPL-3.0 means unlimited users and custom objects for the cost of cloud infrastructure alone, typically $20–100/month.
  • Pricing page explicitly mocks competitors for charging add-on fees for API access, webhooks, and workflows — transparency that resonates with RevOps teams burned by Salesforce.
  • Unlimited custom objects and fields with no price impact, letting teams shape the data model to their business rather than forcing business into rigid schemas.
  • Modern TypeScript/React/PostgreSQL stack means developer-led teams can extend, self-host, or integrate without fighting legacy architecture.

Object mapping

How Wavity CRM objects map to Twenty CRM

Each row shows how a Wavity CRM 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.

Wavity CRM

Contact

maps to

Twenty CRM

People

1:1
Fully supported

Wavity Contact records map directly to Twenty People. Standard fields (name, email, phone, address, job title) migrate 1:1. Custom fields on Wavity Contacts require schema discovery before migration; we document each custom field type and create the corresponding Twenty People field via Settings > Data Model before import. The email address on People serves as the dedupe key. All Contact-Account relationship links migrate as People-Company relations in Twenty.

Wavity CRM

Account

maps to

Twenty CRM

Company

1:1
Fully supported

Wavity Account records map to Twenty Company. Company must be imported before People so that the relation field resolves at insert time. We extract the Wavity Account name, domain (website), industry, employee count, address fields, and any custom Account fields, then map them to the equivalent Twenty Company fields. Wavity's Account-Contact bidirectional relationship migrates as Twenty's People-Company link.

Wavity CRM

Lead

maps to

Twenty CRM

People (Lead context)

1:1
Fully supported

Wavity Lead records, which include source attribution, enrichment data, and scoring values, map to Twenty People in the lead context. We preserve Wavity's lead source, status, and any scoring or enrichment fields as custom fields on the Twenty People record. If the customer prefers a separate lead pipeline in Twenty, we create a custom view and a Stage picklist on People to distinguish leads from converted contacts.

Wavity CRM

Opportunity

maps to

Twenty CRM

Opportunity

1:1
Fully supported

Wavity Opportunity records map to Twenty Opportunity with deal name, amount, stage, probability, expected close date, and owner. The Opportunity-Company relation and Opportunity-People (primary contact) relation migrate via lookup resolution at import time. Custom Opportunity fields require pre-creation in Twenty's data model. Closed-Lost and Closed-Won reasons from Wavity become custom Opportunity fields in Twenty.

Wavity CRM

Pipeline

maps to

Twenty CRM

Pipeline + Stage

lossy
Fully supported

Wavity's customizable pipeline stages (stage names, order, probability percentages) require extraction from Wavity's UI and recreation in Twenty's Pipeline designer. We export the full stage schema including probability and sort order during discovery, then configure the equivalent Pipeline and Stage values in Twenty before any Opportunity records are imported. Pipeline stage names map directly; probability percentages migrate to Twenty's stage probability field.

Wavity CRM

Task

maps to

Twenty CRM

Task

1:1
Fully supported

Wavity Tasks migrate to Twenty Task records with title, body, due date, assignee (via owner email lookup), status, and priority preserved. Tasks linked to a specific Contact, Account, or Opportunity carry the corresponding Twenty relation at migration time. Completed status and historical completion dates migrate accurately. Wavity's task types (call, email, meeting, general) map to Twenty Task types or Notes depending on the activity subtype.

Wavity CRM

Appointment

maps to

Twenty CRM

CalendarEvent (Task)

1:1
Fully supported

Wavity calendar appointments, including start time, duration, attendees, location, and linked Contact or Opportunity, migrate to Twenty's calendar event representation. Timezone information is preserved to ensure scheduling accuracy. Attendee relationships migrate as Task relation records linked to the corresponding People in Twenty. Recurring appointment patterns do not have a standard equivalent in Twenty and are converted to individual event records.

Wavity CRM

Ticket (Help Desk)

maps to

Twenty CRM

Custom Object (Case)

lossy
Fully supported

Wavity Help Desk Tickets do not have a direct standard equivalent in Twenty, which currently lacks a native service desk module. We create a Case custom object in Twenty's data model during migration, mapping ticket fields (status, priority, assignee, customer link, conversation thread) to the equivalent custom fields. Conversation history migrates as a rich-text field or series of linked Note records. SLA configuration from Wavity is documented for manual rebuild in Twenty.

Wavity CRM

Custom Object

maps to

Twenty CRM

Custom Object

1:1
Fully supported

Wavity Zero Code Designer custom objects require schema discovery before any data can migrate. We schedule a dedicated schema review session with the customer to document every custom object definition: field names, field types (text, number, date, picklist, relation), validation rules, and lookup relationships. We then create the equivalent custom object and fields in Twenty's Settings > Data Model before importing any custom object records. This is the highest-risk object in the migration and adds 3-5 days to the discovery phase.

Wavity CRM

User / Team Member

maps to

Twenty CRM

Workspace User

1:1
Fully supported

Wavity User records (name, email, role, permissions) map to Twenty Workspace Users. We match by email as the reconciliation key. Inactive Wavity users are flagged and held in a reconciliation queue; the customer decides whether to provision inactive users in Twenty or exclude them from migration. Role and permission structures differ between platforms and are documented for manual reconfiguration in Twenty's Settings > Workspace.

Wavity CRM

Document / Attachment

maps to

Twenty CRM

Attachment (re-upload)

1:1
Fully supported

File attachments stored in Wavity are exported to local storage and re-uploaded to Twenty as linked attachments. We preserve the attachment-to-record linkage (Contact, Account, Opportunity, or Task) during migration so that documents remain associated with the correct record in Twenty. Large file attachments (>25 MB) require chunked upload handling. We document the full attachment inventory during discovery to scope the re-upload effort accurately.

Pair-specific challenges

  • Wavity has no public API or bulk export endpoint

    Wavity does not publish a documented REST API or bulk data export endpoint in its public developer documentation. Every migration from Wavity must rely on CSV exports from the UI, manual data dumps, or direct coordination with Wavity's support and sales team to extract data in structured formats. We coordinate with Wavity's technical contacts to request multi-object CSV exports and normalize them before importing into Twenty. Multi-file CSV coordination, manual formatting, and support response delays typically extend the extraction phase by 3-7 days regardless of migration size. Teams that need to export frequently after migration will need to negotiate an API access arrangement with Wavity directly.

  • Zero Code Designer custom objects lack standard export format

    Teams that have built custom objects using Wavity's Zero Code Application Designer create schemas that do not map to any standard CRM object model and have no standardized export format. These require manual schema discovery and field-by-field mapping during migration, adding 3-5 days to the discovery phase. We schedule a dedicated schema review call with the customer to document every custom object, field type, validation rule, and lookup relationship before writing a single record to Twenty. Skipping this step results in orphaned relationship data and partial custom object imports that require re-work.

  • Help Desk Tickets and SLA rules do not have a Twenty equivalent

    Wavity's Help Desk module, which carries a 96% five-star rating on G2, has no direct equivalent in Twenty CRM's current feature set. Twenty does not ship a native service-desk module, ticket queue, or SLA timer. We migrate Ticket records as a Case custom object in Twenty, preserving status, priority, assignee, and conversation history, but SLA configuration, support inbox routing, and Help Desk-specific workflows do not transfer. We deliver a written inventory of Wavity Help Desk settings for the customer's admin to rebuild as custom objects and workflows in Twenty post-migration.

  • Annual billing lock-in may affect mid-year migration timing

    Wavity's Professional plan is billed annually at $30/user/month ($360/user/year). Teams that are mid-contract and switching to Twenty before their annual renewal date do not receive a refund for unused months from Wavity. We flag the contract renewal date during discovery scoping so the customer can time the migration cutover to minimize wasted spend. Twenty's monthly billing on Cloud Pro ($9/user/month) offsets the annual lock-in cost within 2-3 months for most teams, but the financial impact should be modeled before committing to a migration timeline.

Migration approach

Six steps for a successful Wavity CRM to Twenty CRM data migration

  1. Discovery and CSV extraction coordination

    We audit the Wavity CRM account across all modules (CRM, Help Desk, Project Management), documenting every standard object (Contacts, Accounts, Leads, Opportunities, Pipelines, Tasks, Appointments, Tickets) and every custom object built in the Zero Code Designer. We simultaneously begin the CSV extraction coordination with Wavity's support and sales team, requesting structured exports for each object in a format that can be normalized. We also extract pipeline stage definitions, custom field schemas, and user rosters during this phase. The discovery output is a written migration scope, a Wavity-to-Twenty object map, and a CSV delivery schedule from Wavity.

  2. Schema design in Twenty

    We configure the destination Twenty workspace before any data arrives. This includes creating custom objects and fields (matching Wavity custom field types to Twenty field types), setting up Pipeline and Stage values that mirror the Wavity pipeline configuration, configuring Twenty workspace users and permissions, and creating the Case custom object for migrated Help Desk tickets. If the customer uses self-hosted Twenty, we coordinate the environment provisioning and database setup. Schema configuration happens in parallel with Wavity's CSV extraction to compress the overall timeline.

  3. CSV normalization and test import

    We normalize the Wavity CSV exports into flat tabular form, resolving multi-file joins (for example, linking Contact CSVs to Account CSVs by email or foreign key), standardizing date formats to ISO 8601, and cleaning duplicate records identified during discovery. We run a test import into Twenty's staging environment to verify field mapping accuracy, relationship resolution, and character encoding before touching production data. Any mapping corrections are documented and applied to the production import scripts before cutover.

  4. Production migration in dependency order

    We run production migration in record-dependency order: Companies (from Wavity Accounts), People (from Wavity Contacts and Leads), Opportunities (with Pipeline and Stage resolved), Tasks and Appointments, Case custom object (from Wavity Tickets), Custom Objects (last, because they often contain lookups to standard objects), and Attachments (re-uploaded and linked). Each phase emits a row-count reconciliation report before the next phase begins. Owner assignment resolves by email match against the Twenty workspace user roster.

  5. Validation and reconciliation

    We validate the migrated Twenty workspace against the original Wavity data, spot-checking record counts per object, field-level data integrity on 25-50 randomly sampled records per object, and relationship completeness (People-Company links, Opportunity-Company links, Task-assignee links). We deliver a full reconciliation report to the customer's migration lead for sign-off before cutover. Any data gaps identified during validation are corrected in Twenty before the go-live date.

  6. Cutover and wBot rebuild handoff

    We freeze Wavity writes during the cutover window, run a final delta migration of any records modified since the last sync, and enable Twenty as the system of record. We deliver a written inventory of every Wavity wBot RPA workflow, dashboard, and Help Desk SLA rule that requires rebuild in Twenty, with notes on the equivalent Twenty configuration or workflow approach. We provide a one-week hypercare window for reconciliation issues raised by the customer's team. Workflow rebuild in Twenty's workflow designer is outside standard migration scope and is handled by the customer's admin team or a separate engagement.
