## Problem
Partner applications **502** for any applicant whose company is already
in the CRM.
The `submit-partner-application` logic function dedupes applicants
**only by person email**. When no person matches that email, it takes
the create path and calls `createCompany` unconditionally. But
`Company.domainName` has a **UNIQUE index**, so whenever a company with
the applicant's domain already exists — which is common, since the **TFT
import seeds companies** — the mutation throws `"duplicate entry"`. The
handler's `catch` returns `{ ok: false }`, and the website
`/api/partner-application` route surfaces it as a **502**. The applicant
can never be submitted.
Real case that surfaced this: an applicant whose company (`BKG
Integration UG`, domain `bkg-integration.de`) was already present from
the TFT import with no Partner/Person attached.
## Fix
Extract `findOrCreateCompanyId`:
- Look the company up by **exact domain** (`domainName.primaryLinkUrl
eq`) and **reuse** it when found.
- Only `createCompany` when no domain matches.
- The matched company is **never renamed** — the existing CRM name wins
over the applicant's free-text `companyName`.
Person-email dedup is unchanged (already handled upstream in the
handler).
### Known limitation
Matches **active** rows only. A *soft-deleted* company still holds the
unique index and would re-collide; clear those with `yarn purge:prod`.
Noted inline.
## Tests
Adds an integration test: pre-seed a company by domain → submit an
application with the same domain → assert the partner reuses the same
company id and the company name is untouched.
## Version
`twenty-partners` 0.5.1 → **0.5.2** (patch: bug fix, no schema change).

twenty-partners
A Twenty app that turns the CRM into the operating system for the Twenty partner program: intake partner-eligible deals, match them to vetted marketplace partners, and track the matching pipeline end-to-end.
Built on Twenty with twenty-sdk v2.5.
What's inside
- Custom object:
Partner— slug, status, availability, served geos, languages spoken, deployment expertise, Calendly link, last-match timestamp. Seesrc/objects/partner.object.ts. - Opportunity extensions —
matchStatus,designDocStatus,introSentAt,lastRelanceSentAt,tftId, plus apartnerrelation. - Logic functions
on-opportunity-auto-match— fires whenmatchStatusis set toAUTO_MATCH. Assigns the longest-idle available partner and flips status toMATCHED. If no partner is available, hands off toMANUAL_MATCHwith an audit Note explaining why.list-available-partners— surfaces matchable partners for a given opportunity.post-install— first-run setup.
- Roles (
src/roles/)- Twenty Partner Ops — internal team role, full CRUD on Partner/Company/Person/Opportunity.
- Partner — placeholder external-partner role. Do not assign until Twenty ships row-level permissions — it currently grants access to every record.
- Views (
src/views/)Waiting for match— opportunities awaiting human action (matchStatusisTO_BE_MATCHEDorMANUAL_MATCH).Matches overview— full matching funnel grouped bymatchStatus(configure Kanban grouping manually in the UI).Opportunities— replacement of the native opportunities view with the partner columns.PartnersandAll matched deals— partner-side index and deal log.
- Sidebar nav — surfaced in workflow order:
Waiting for match,All partner deals,Matches overview,Partners,Opportunities. - Seed scripts (
src/scripts/) — populate a fresh workspace with realistic demo data.
Match status pipeline
matchStatus is a non-nullable SELECT field with a default of TO_BE_MATCHED. The 10 states follow the deal lifecycle:
| Status | Meaning |
|---|---|
TO_BE_MATCHED |
Default — deal entered, awaiting assignment |
MANUAL_MATCH |
Needs a human to pick a partner |
AUTO_MATCH |
Triggers automatic partner assignment |
MATCHED |
Partner assigned |
INTRODUCED_TO_A_PARTNER |
Customer intro sent |
WORKING_WITH_A_PARTNER |
Engagement underway |
IMPLEMENTING |
Active implementation |
WON |
Deal closed won |
RECONNECT_LATER |
Paused — reconnect in future |
LOST |
Deal closed lost |
Getting started
Requires a local Twenty server at http://localhost:2020 and Node ^24.5.
yarn install
yarn twenty dev
Default dev credentials: tim@apple.dev / tim@apple.dev.
Run yarn twenty help for the full CLI reference.
Common commands
| Command | What it does |
|---|---|
yarn twenty dev |
Start the dev server and sync the app on file changes |
yarn twenty server status |
Check the local Twenty server |
yarn lint / yarn lint:fix |
Run oxlint |
yarn test |
Run integration tests (vitest.config.ts) |
Seeding demo data
Two idempotent seed scripts. Both run via the vitest.seed.config.ts config that skips
the global app uninstall/reinstall.
# 1. Marketplace partners (run first — pipeline seed wires opportunities to these by slug)
yarn vitest run --config vitest.seed.config.ts src/scripts/seed-marketplace-partners.ts
# 2. Pipeline demo: 3 companies, 3 people, 15 opportunities spread across matchStatus values
yarn vitest run --config vitest.seed.config.ts src/scripts/seed-pipeline-demo.ts
Both scripts skip records that already exist (by slug, name, or firstName+lastName),
so they are safe to re-run.
Known limitations
Current SDK gaps blocking further polish:
- Custom Partner record page layout (RECORD_TABLE has no relation scoping).
- Native Opportunities view column-order override.
- Kanban view configuration from app code (
ViewType.KANBANis currently ignored). - App and field descriptions.
