## 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>
|
|
|
|
### 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.
