Overview
Zillow Premier Agent is a paid lead-advertising platform, not a full CRM. It stores contacts, connection statuses, and basic interaction history, but it lacks an official public API, custom fields, and native automation. Migrating to Twenty CRM means moving from Zillow's flat, portal-relative data model into a relational CRM schema with People, Companies, Opportunities, Notes, and Tasks objects — each with its own field structure, foreign keys, and API endpoints. The migration carries all contact data (names, emails, phones, addresses), Zillow's lifecycle status as a custom field, company associations by email domain, and any linked tasks or notes. What does not migrate: Zillow's Flex billing model (a commission-per-closed-deal fee with no CRM equivalent), My Agent relationship assignment logic (preserved as a reference custom field only), and listing browse activity (Zillow does not export it). Workflow definitions and routing rules have no native equivalent in Zillow Premier Agent — they require a clean build in Twenty's workflow engine using exported configuration as a reference guide.
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 Zillow Premier Agent 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.
Zillow Premier Agent
Connection / Contact
Twenty CRM
People
1:1Zillow Premier Agent stores individual contacts as Connections. These map 1:1 to Twenty's People object. Every field on the Zillow contact record — name, email, phone, address — transfers as a corresponding field on the People record. The Zillow internal connection ID is preserved as a custom field for traceability.
Zillow Premier Agent
Connection / Contact
Twenty CRM
Companies
1:1Zillow Premier Agent links contacts to a company name but does not maintain a separate Company object. During migration, we infer the Company record from the contact's email domain (e.g., [email protected] → Company 'Acme'). Where no domain exists, contacts are linked to an 'Unknown' placeholder company created in Twenty. The company record must exist before the People record is imported due to the companyId foreign key.
Zillow Premier Agent
Lifecycle status (Zillow)
Twenty CRM
Opportunities
1:1Zillow Premier Agent tracks a contact's progression through statuses: New, Attempted Contact, Spoke with Customer, Appointment Set, Met with Customer, Showing Homes, Listing Agreement, Active Listing, Submitting Offers, Under Contract, Closed, Nurture, Trash. These statuses have no direct equivalent in Twenty CRM. We map them to Opportunities, with each distinct Zillow status value becoming a Twenty Opportunity Stage that your admin configures before migration.
Zillow Premier Agent
Interaction history (calls, notes)
Twenty CRM
Notes and Tasks
1:1Zillow Premier Agent records call logs and notes on contact records. These transfer to Twenty's Notes and Tasks objects, linked to the corresponding People record. Call subject lines and note timestamps are preserved. Note body content transfers as-is. If the Zillow integration captured email threads, those migrate as Notes with a type field distinguishing them from general notes.
Zillow Premier Agent
Agent profile / owner
Twenty CRM
Workspace Members
1:1Zillow Premier Agent assigns connections to the advertising agent. In Twenty CRM, agents are Workspace Members. Owner resolution matches by agent email — if the Zillow agent email matches a Twenty Workspace Member, the Opportunity and People records are assigned automatically. Unmatched agents are flagged before migration so you can provision accounts first.
Zillow Premier Agent
My Agent relationship
Twenty CRM
Custom field on People
1:1Zillow's My Agent feature assigns a persistent buyer-agent relationship visible across all Zillow listings. This is a Zillow-platform construct with no CRM equivalent. We preserve it as a custom checkbox field (My_Agent__c) on the People record. The actual Zillow assignment cannot be re-created in Twenty — it must be managed on the Zillow side going forward.
Zillow Premier Agent
Listing association
Twenty CRM
Custom field on Opportunities
1:1Zillow Premier Agent connects leads to specific listings the buyer was browsing. In Twenty CRM, Opportunities represent deal stages but have no native listing reference. We store the Zillow listing ID as a custom text field (Zillow_Listing_ID__c) on the Opportunity, and the listing price as a number field (Listing_Price__c), giving agents a reference back to the property without requiring a separate Listing custom object.
Zillow Premier Agent
Connection timestamp
Twenty CRM
Custom datetime on People
1:1Zillow records when a connection was first made. Twenty's standard CreatedDate reflects when the record enters the system, not when the Zillow contact was originally created. We preserve the original Zillow connection date as a custom datetime field (Zillow_Connection_Date__c) on the People record for reporting continuity.
Zillow Premier Agent
Lead source / attribution
Twenty CRM
Custom field on People
1:1Zillow tracks how a contact was generated — ZIP code share-of-voice, specific listing page, etc. This attribution data has no standard field in Twenty CRM. We capture it as a custom text field (Zillow_Lead_Source__c) on the People record, preserving the routing context so your team understands where each contact originated in Zillow's advertising model.
Zillow Premier Agent
Routing rule configuration
Twenty CRM
Twenty Workflow
1:1Zillow Premier Agent allows basic lead routing rules within the app. These are platform-native configuration with no data payload to export. They cannot be migrated. We document the current routing logic during the audit phase so your Twenty admin can rebuild equivalent rules in Twenty's Workflow builder using manual triggers, time-based delays, and field-update actions.

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.
Zillow Premier Agent gotchas
40% Flex commission fee is non-negotiable and hidden from buyers
No public API or bulk export endpoint exists
Contact Agent does not connect to the listing agent
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
Source Zillow Premier Agent data through available export paths
Because Zillow has no public API, we begin by identifying the available data export path for your account. Options include: pulling through an existing Follow Up Boss, Lofty, or Top Producer integration if you use one; requesting a bulk export via Zillow Partner Support; or performing a manual CSV export from the Zillow Premier Agent app. We assess export completeness against the fields we need to map — name, email, phone, address, status, company, owner — and flag any gaps before we design the import pipeline. This step determines the overall timeline more than any other for this migration pair.
Clean and deduplicate source data; infer company records from email domains
We de-duplicate contacts by email, normalize phone number formats, and validate email deliverability before import. Where a Zillow contact has a company name but no separate company record, we infer the Company record from the contact's email domain ([email protected] → Company 'Acme'). Contacts with no domain receive a placeholder company. We also map Zillow lifecycle status values to Twenty Opportunity Stages and prepare the stage configuration guide for your Twenty workspace admin to set up before Phase 3.
Configure Twenty CRM workspace: stages, custom fields, and permissions
Before data lands, your Twenty admin creates the Opportunity Stages corresponding to Zillow lifecycle statuses (New, Appointment Set, Showing Homes, Closed, etc.), creates the custom fields (Zillow_Connection_Date__c, Zillow_Lead_Source__c, Zillow_Listing_ID__c, My_Agent__c, Zillow_Service_ZIP__c, Zillow_Status__c, Zillow_Lead_URL__c), and sets import permissions for the relevant workspace members. We deliver a setup checklist based on the source data audit so this pre-work is completed before validation runs.
Run a sample migration with field-level diff
A representative slice — typically 100–500 records spanning contacts across multiple lifecycle statuses, a mix of companies, and a few opportunities — migrates first using Twenty's CSV import and REST API. We generate a field-level diff comparing source values against destination values so you can verify status-to-stage mapping, companyId resolution, owner assignment, and custom field population before the full run commits. This is the validation checkpoint where mapping errors are corrected before scale.
Full migration with delta-pickup window for in-flight records
The complete dataset migrates in sequence: Companies first, then People, then Opportunities. A delta-pickup window of 24–48 hours captures any new contacts or status changes that occurred in Zillow during the cutover window. The audit log records every operation — insert, update, skip — so your team can reconcile record counts after go-live. One-click rollback is available if reconciliation reveals unexpected gaps, and FlitStack AI re-runs only the affected records rather than the full dataset.
