Configure your workspace

Once you're in, three steps to make Twenty yours:

1. Connect your mailbox

Go to Settings → Accounts and connect your Google or Microsoft account. Twenty will import your emails and calendar events, and auto-create contacts from interactions. Using another provider? You can add mailboxes via SMTP or calendars via CalDAV from the same page.

<Note>Start here — connecting a mailbox gives your team immediate value with real data before you customize anything else.</Note> <VimeoEmbed videoId="1185416821" title="Connect your mailbox" />

2. Shape your data model

Go to Settings → Data Model to create custom objects and fields. A few things to know:

  • Custom objects and fields are unlimited on all plans — no upsell.
  • People, Companies, and Opportunities are the objects that show synced emails and meetings. Use them as your base and add fields to categorize (e.g., a Person Type field) rather than creating separate objects that won't have email history.
  • Two People can't share the same email. Two Companies can't share the same domain.
  • You can deactivate standard fields/objects you don't need, and hide fields from views without deleting them.

3. Import your data

Use the Command Menu (Cmd+K / Ctrl+K) to import People, Companies, Opportunities, or any custom object via CSV. Download the sample file first to see the expected format. Limit files to 10k records and deduplicate emails/domains before importing.
