Twenty connects to your existing tools so your CRM stays up to date without manual data entry.
Connect your Google Workspace or Microsoft 365 mailbox. Once connected:
You control what gets imported — filter by date range or sender to avoid pulling in irrelevant emails.
Calendar events sync automatically from your connected account. Events appear on the relevant CRM records, giving you a complete picture of your interactions with each contact or company.
Beyond email and calendar, Twenty connects to external tools through:
| Method | Use case |
|---|---|
| API | Build custom integrations with the GraphQL or REST API |
| Webhooks | Push real-time notifications to external systems when records change |
| Zapier | Connect to 5,000+ apps without code |
| Workflow HTTP actions | Call any external API as part of an automated workflow |
Developers can build full-featured apps on top of Twenty — adding custom UI, server-side logic, and deep integrations. Apps can be published for the community or kept private.
