This guide walks you through importing your companies into Twenty. Companies should be imported first because People and Opportunities link to Companies.

Prerequisites Checklist

Your file is CSV, XLSX, or XLS format

Domain Format

Use the format https://domain.com for domains.This matches the format used when Companies are auto-created from email/calendar sync, preventing duplicates later.
Domain columns:
  • Domain / Domain Label: acme.com
  • Domain / Domain URL: https://acme.com

​
Address Format

Address is a nested field with multiple columns: 
Address / Address 1,Address / City,Address / State,Address / Country,Address / Post Code

​
Step 2: Access the Import Feature

Option 1: From the Companies View
  1. Navigate to Companies in the left sidebar
  2. Click the ⋮ icon on the top right
  3. Select Import records
Option 2: Using Command Menu
  1. Press Cmd + K (Mac) or Ctrl + K (Windows)
  2. Type “import”
  3. Select Import records
  4. Choose Companies

​
Step 3: Upload Your File

  1. Click Select file
  2. Choose your CSV, XLSX, or XLS file
  3. Wait for Twenty to analyze your file

​
Step 4: Map Your Columns

Twenty automatically tries to match your columns to fields. Review and adjust:
  1. Check automatic mappings — verify they’re correct
  2. Fix incorrect mappings — click the dropdown to select the right field
  3. Skip columns — select Do not map for columns you don’t want to import

​
Important Mapping Rules

  • Domain: Map to Domain / Domain URL (not Domain Label)
  • Address: Map each part to its specific column (City, State, etc.)
  • Select fields: Values must match existing options (or you’ll map them in the next step)

​
Step 5: Map Select Field Values

If you have Select or Multi-Select fields:
  1. Twenty shows your values alongside existing options
  2. Match each value in your file to a Twenty option
  3. Or create new options if needed
Select options use API names, not display labels. Check Settings → Data Model → Enable Advanced mode to see API names.

​
Step 6: Review and Fix Errors

Before completing the import, Twenty validates your data:
  1. Click Next Steps
  2. Rows with errors are highlighted in yellow
  3. Fix errors directly — click a cell and edit the value
  4. Remove problematic rows — click the X to skip that row

​
After Importing Companies

Now you can import records that link to Companies:
  1. Import People — link them to Companies using the domain
  2. Import Opportunities — link them to Companies
  3. Verify the import — spot-check a few records to ensure data is correct

​
Updating Existing Companies

To update companies instead of creating new ones:
  1. Include the domain or id column in your file
  2. Twenty matches records by this unique identifier
  3. Existing companies are updated; new ones are created
See How to Update Existing Records for details.

​
FAQ

Domain is a unique identifier in Twenty. This prevents duplicate companies and ensures email sync correctly links emails to the right company.
You can leave the domain empty. However, we recommend adding domains when possible for better data quality and automatic email linking.
Да! You can import companies first, then import People later and link them using the company domain.
If you include a unique identifier (domain or id) that matches an existing company, Twenty updates that company instead of creating a duplicate.
Either remove the duplicate from your file, or include the company’s id to update the existing record instead.
