Overview
Moving from YetiForce CRM to Twenty CRM is a modernization migration that moves from a PHP-based ERP-hybrid with an uncertain development future (GitHub archived August 2025) to a TypeScript-based CRM with active open-source development and a modern API stack. The primary structural challenge is that Twenty CRM does not ship with native Project or Ticket modules — these must be created as custom objects before any data import begins. We handle that custom object creation, map YetiForce's Organizations to Twenty's Companies, Contacts to People, and Potentials to Opportunities, and preserve parent-child relationships by loading in strict dependency order. Workflows, saved reports, and the YetiForce Portal do not migrate; we deliver a written inventory of automations requiring manual rebuild in Twenty's workflow builder.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a YetiForce 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.
YetiForce CRM
Organization
Twenty CRM
Company
1:1YetiForce Organization records map directly to Twenty's Company object. Company is the first object loaded in every migration because Contacts, Potentials, and custom object records reference it via lookup. The organization domain name from YetiForce becomes the Company website field, and industry/type picklists from YetiForce map to the corresponding Twenty select options. We preserve assigned owner as a user lookup resolved by email match.
YetiForce CRM
Contact
Twenty CRM
People
1:1YetiForce Contact records map to Twenty's People object. We map the full name split into firstName/lastName fields, email to email, phone to phoneNumber, and postal address fields to the Twenty address compound field. The Contact's linked Organization resolves to a Company record already imported, satisfying the WorkInformation and companyMember relations. Any YetiForce custom fields on Contact are created as custom fields on the People object before the import phase begins.
YetiForce CRM
Lead
Twenty CRM
People (with type flag)
1:1YetiForce Leads map to Twenty People records with a personType field set to Person to indicate they are prospect records pending qualification. We preserve Lead_Source and Lead_Status as custom select fields on the People object. Unlike Salesforce's Lead-to-Contact convert flow, Twenty does not have a separate Lead object — Leads and Contacts both live in the People object. We do not split into separate objects; the customer reconverts prospect records to customer-type People records manually after migration if needed.
YetiForce CRM
Potential
Twenty CRM
Opportunity
1:1YetiForce Potentials map to Twenty's Opportunity object. We map the Potential name to opportunityTitle, amount to amount, closeDate to closeDate, and probability to probability. The related Organization reference resolves to the imported Company. Stage names from YetiForce's pipeline map to Twenty Opportunity stage values via a configuration table that we build during scoping. The assigned user maps via email match to a Twenty user record.
YetiForce CRM
Potential Pipeline
Twenty CRM
Opportunity Stage
lossyYetiForce's deal pipelines and stage values map to Twenty's Opportunity pipeline and stage configuration. Each YetiForce pipeline becomes a distinct set of stage options in Twenty's Opportunity settings. Probability percentages from YetiForce migrate to Twenty's stage-level probability values. We configure this in Twenty's Settings before any Opportunity records are imported.
YetiForce CRM
Project
Twenty CRM
Custom Object: Project
lossyYetiForce Projects have no native Twenty equivalent — Twenty does not include a built-in Project or Project Task module. We create a Project custom object in Twenty via Settings > Data Model before migration, with custom fields for project name, status (select), start date, end date, and assigned owner (user lookup). Project Tasks link to this custom object via a parent lookup relationship. The customer defines the status picklist options during scoping to match their existing YetiForce stage values.
YetiForce CRM
Project Task
Twenty CRM
Custom Object: Project Task
1:manyYetiForce Project Tasks map to a second custom object linked to the Project custom object via a parent lookup. We create custom fields for subject, status, priority (select), assigned user (lookup), start date, and due date. Parent record resolution is required — we build a temporary ID mapping table during the Project import phase and apply it to Task records during the Task import phase. Tasks import after Projects in the migration sequence.
YetiForce CRM
Ticket
Twenty CRM
Custom Object: Ticket
lossyYetiForce Tickets require a custom object in Twenty since no native ticket or helpdesk module exists. We create a Ticket custom object with custom fields for title, status (select), priority (select), category (select), related Contact (People lookup), and related Organization (Company lookup). Status and priority picklist options are defined during scoping against the customer's existing YetiForce ticket status values. We handle the Contact and Organization references by resolving them against already-imported People and Company records.
YetiForce CRM
Product
Twenty CRM
Product
1:1YetiForce Products map directly to Twenty's standard Product object. We map product name, unit price, description, and stock quantity. The vendor reference from YetiForce resolves to an imported Vendor record by matching on vendor company name. If the customer does not migrate Vendors as a separate object, we map the vendor reference to a text field on Product and the customer reconciles manually.
YetiForce CRM
Service
Twenty CRM
Product (or Custom Object)
1:1YetiForce Services share the same data shape as Products and migrate to Twenty's Product object or a separate custom object depending on the customer's reporting needs. We map service name, price per unit, and description. The customer decides during scoping whether to keep Services alongside Products in the same object or create a distinct custom object for clearer reporting separation.
YetiForce CRM
Vendor
Twenty CRM
Company (or Custom Object)
1:1YetiForce Vendors map to Twenty Company records or a custom Vendor object depending on whether the customer wants to distinguish vendor companies from customer companies in reporting. We map vendor name, website, address, and assigned owner. If the customer chooses the Company route, we add a custom select field (companyType) set to Vendor on migrated records to enable filtering.
YetiForce CRM
User
Twenty CRM
User
1:1YetiForce Users map to Twenty User records by email address match. We extract every distinct user referenced as an owner on Organizations, Contacts, Potentials, Projects, and Tickets, then match by email against the Twenty workspace User list. Any YetiForce user without a matching Twenty user is placed in a reconciliation queue for the customer's admin to provision before record import continues. Inactive YetiForce users map to inactive Twenty users to preserve historical assignment.

Webservice Premium required for portal and OpenAPI access
Heavy per-instance customization complicates field mapping
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
Discovery and data audit
We audit the source YetiForce installation across all active modules, custom fields, picklist values, pipeline stage names, user count, and record volume per object type. We query the field metadata endpoint to build the instance-specific schema map (field ID to field label to data type). We identify any saved reports from YetiForce versions prior to 4.4, the status of the Webservice Premium subscription, and whether the Portal is in active use. The discovery output is a written migration scope document covering record counts, custom object requirements, and the list of automations and reports requiring manual rebuild.
Schema design and custom object creation
We design the destination Twenty workspace schema based on the audit findings. For Organizations, Contacts, Leads, Potentials, Products, and Services, we map to Twenty's standard objects. For Projects, Project Tasks, and Tickets, we create custom objects via Settings > Data Model with all required custom fields and lookup relationships before any import begins. We configure Opportunity stages, picklist options, and any custom select fields on standard objects. The schema design document is reviewed and approved by the customer before we proceed.
Sandbox migration and reconciliation
We run a full migration into Twenty using production-like data volume from the CSV export. The customer's team spot-checks 25-50 records across each object type against the YetiForce source, validates that parent-child relationships are intact (Contacts under Companies, Opportunities under Companies, Tasks under Projects), and confirms that custom field values migrated correctly. Any field mapping corrections, picklist value mismatches, or missing custom fields are addressed in this phase. No production data moves until the sandbox sign-off is received.
User provisioning and owner reconciliation
We extract every distinct YetiForce user referenced as an owner on any record and match by email against the Twenty workspace User list. YetiForce users without a matching Twenty account go to a reconciliation queue for the customer's admin to provision. We also verify that any YetiForce role and permission structures that affect data visibility are documented so they can be manually recreated in Twenty's roles and permissions settings. Twenty's Organization plan ($19/user) includes roles, permissions, and SSO — we confirm which plan tier supports the customer's required permission model.
Production migration in dependency order
We run production migration in strict dependency order: Companies (from Organizations) first, then People (from Contacts and Leads), then Opportunities (from Potentials), then custom objects (Projects, Project Tasks, Tickets), then Products and Services. Each object phase emits a row-count reconciliation report comparing YetiForce source counts to Twenty destination counts. We use Twenty's CSV import with API-based validation passes. Any records rejected during import (due to missing required fields or invalid lookups) are logged and corrected before proceeding to the next phase.
Cutover, validation, and workflow handoff
We freeze writes in YetiForce during cutover, run a final delta migration for any records modified during the migration window, and confirm the Twenty workspace is the system of record. We deliver the workflow inventory document to the customer's admin team for manual rebuild in Twenty's workflow builder. We support a one-week post-cutover window for reconciliation issues raised by the customer. We do not rebuild YetiForce workflows in Twenty as part of the standard migration scope; that is a separate engagement or an internal admin task.
