Log and Route Twenty CRM Events

Log signed Twenty CRM record events and notify email for deletions or Slack for other changes.

Setup

Create a Twenty CRM webhook with a signing secret and subscribe to record events. In Open Flow create a secret Variable named TWENTY_WEBHOOK_SECRET with the same secret, bind it in Verify and read the event, enable the webhook and enter its URL in Twenty. Connect Google Sheets, Gmail and Slack; set the spreadsheet ID/range, email recipient and Slack channel ID in their respective nodes. Prepare sheet columns in this order: eventName, objectMetadata.id, objectMetadata.nameSingular, record.id, record.__typename.

In n8n configure the same webhook secret as an n8n Variable TWENTY_WEBHOOK_SECRET, connect Google Sheets, Gmail and Slack, and set the spreadsheet, recipient and channel in their nodes. Activate the webhook and configure its URL in Twenty. Use one format.

Behavior

A signed record event is logged once before a notification. Deletion events ending in delete or deleted send email; other events go to Slack. Invalid signatures, timestamps more than 15 minutes away, or missing record identifiers stop before writes. The webhook acknowledges receipt immediately; that response does not confirm signature validation or completion. Open Flow accepts request bodies up to 64 KiB. The workflow expects Twenty’s signed record-event payload and stores only the five configured event fields in Sheets. Values are RAW and Slack control characters in event fields are escaped. Restrict access to webhook URLs, secrets and execution history.

A failed or uncertain log append may already have succeeded. A failed notification can leave the log row saved; an uncertain notification may already be delivered. Check Sheets and the destination before replaying. The workflow keeps no event deduplication history and adds no automatic write retry.

Inspiration & credits

Changes to the source

• Replace private endpoints and destinations with setup and verify the Twenty signature before side effects.
• Fix the source’s duplicate direct notification path so each accepted event is logged before one notification. Route current deleted event names as well as delete.
