Overview
ActiveCampaign and Monday.com CRM are architecturally different: ActiveCampaign is a marketing-automation-first platform where the CRM is a secondary layer atop a contact-centric data model; Monday.com CRM is a visual work-management platform where Deals, Contacts, and Tasks live as Items on customizable Boards. The core migration challenge is translating ActiveCampaign Deals and their associated Pipeline stages into Monday.com Board Groups and Item-level custom fields. We export Contacts, Accounts, and Deals via ActiveCampaign's REST API, then map them into Monday.com's People CRM (Contacts), Companies, and Board Items with custom columns for deal value, stage probability, close date, and owner. Tags migrate as labels on Board Items. ActiveCampaign automations do not export via API and must be rebuilt in Monday.com's Automation Builder by the customer's admin team. Deal notes are not available via ActiveCampaign's API export, so we flag this gap during scoping and note it as a manual-recreation item. Email campaign history migrates as a written record inventory rather than as live campaign objects because Monday.com CRM does not have a native email campaign history object equivalent to ActiveCampaign's.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a ActiveCampaign object lands in monday CRM, including any object-level transformations, lookup resolution, or schema-design dependencies.
Typical mapping — final map is confirmed during the sample migration step.
ActiveCampaign
Contact
monday CRM
People CRM Contact
1:1ActiveCampaign Contacts migrate to Monday.com People CRM. Email is the dedupe key. All standard contact fields (first name, last name, email, phone, address) map to Monday.com contact fields. Custom contact fields from ActiveCampaign map to Monday.com contact custom fields. We extract all contact records including suppressed statuses during the export phase so the customer understands the full record footprint before deciding which statuses to import into Monday.com.
ActiveCampaign
Account
monday CRM
Companies
1:1ActiveCampaign Accounts (company records associated with Contacts) map to Monday.com Companies. The Account name becomes the Company name, and associated Contacts are linked to the Company record. Custom Account fields map to custom Company fields in Monday.com. Company-industry and employee-count fields migrate as text or custom fields depending on Monday.com's current field type availability.
ActiveCampaign
Deal
monday CRM
Board Item
1:manyActiveCampaign Deals are the primary structural translation challenge. Deals map to Items on a Monday.com Board where each Board Group represents an ActiveCampaign Pipeline stage. Deal value, close date, owner, and associated Contact/Account all migrate as custom column fields on the Item. One ActiveCampaign Deal becomes one Board Item. If the customer has multiple ActiveCampaign Pipelines, we recommend one Monday.com Board per Pipeline or a Board with filtered Views per Pipeline.
ActiveCampaign
Pipeline
monday CRM
Board Group
lossyActiveCampaign Pipelines with their named stages become Monday.com Board Groups. We configure the Board Groups in Monday.com before migration so that Items land in the correct Group. Stage names and order migrate directly. Stage probability percentages become informational custom columns on Items; Monday.com does not have a native probability field so we recreate it as a Numbers column.
ActiveCampaign
Tag
monday CRM
Labels
1:1ActiveCampaign Tags migrate to Monday.com Labels. Tags are a flat label system and map 1:1 to Labels with no value transformation required. We export the full tag taxonomy and reassign them to the corresponding Board Items during import. If a contact has multiple tags, each tag becomes a separate Label on the corresponding Monday.com contact or Item.
ActiveCampaign
Custom Object
monday CRM
Custom Board or Linked Item
1:1ActiveCampaign Custom Objects (Enterprise-only on source) migrate to Monday.com Boards or Items depending on whether they are standalone or associated with Contacts or Deals. We pre-create the destination Board structure with custom columns matching the ActiveCampaign custom field schema before data import. Associations between custom objects and standard objects (Contact, Deal, Account) map to Monday.com's Item linking or column-based relationship fields.
ActiveCampaign
Engagement: Note
monday CRM
Item Updates or Integrations Timeline
1:1ActiveCampaign Deal Notes cannot be exported via API (documented ActiveCampaign limitation). Contact notes on the contact record export as free-text fields. We map these to Monday.com Item Updates (the Activity log on a Board Item) or to a text-type custom column. Customers are informed of this limitation before migration so they can decide whether to accept the gap or manually re-enter note content.
ActiveCampaign
Campaign History
monday CRM
Written Inventory
lossyActiveCampaign email campaign history (sends, opens, clicks, conversions) has no direct Monday.com CRM equivalent. We export campaign performance data as a structured CSV and deliver it as a written inventory document that the customer can reference. We do not create live campaign objects in Monday.com because Monday.com CRM does not support email marketing campaign history as a native object.
ActiveCampaign
Form
monday CRM
Not Migrated
lossyActiveCampaign Forms and Landing Pages do not migrate. Monday.com CRM does not have a native form builder equivalent to ActiveCampaign's form system. We deliver a written inventory of all ActiveCampaign Forms with their field configurations, conditional logic, and connected automations for the customer's admin to rebuild using Monday.com Forms (if available) or a third-party form tool. Landing pages require separate rebuilding outside migration scope.

Pair-specific challenges
Migration approach
Discovery and export scoping
We audit the ActiveCampaign account across plan tier, contact volume by status, Account records, Deal records (pipeline count, stage count, associated contacts), custom field schemas on Contact and Deal, tag taxonomy, and any active Custom Objects. We also extract the ActiveCampaign user list for owner-resolution mapping and identify all ActiveCampaign Automations to produce the written automation inventory. The discovery output is a written migration scope with record counts, a preliminary field mapping template, and a list of automations requiring manual rebuild in Monday.com.
Monday.com Board design and schema setup
We design the destination Monday.com CRM structure. This includes creating a Board for the CRM pipeline, configuring Board Groups matching each ActiveCampaign Pipeline, adding custom columns for deal value, probability, close date, owner, and contact link, and setting up the Monday.com People CRM contacts and Companies with matching custom fields. We also configure Labels to match the ActiveCampaign tag taxonomy. The Board design is validated with the customer before any data moves.
Data export and deduplication
We export Contacts, Accounts, Deals, and Tags from ActiveCampaign via the REST API. We run a deduplication pass using email as the primary key for Contacts and Company name for Accounts. We flag duplicate records and present the customer with a deduplication strategy (keep most recent, keep most complete, or merge). We also separate suppressed contact records (unsubscribes, bounces) from active contacts so the customer can decide which statuses to import into Monday.com.
Test migration and reconciliation
We run a full migration into the customer's live Monday.com account using a subset of records (typically 200-500 per object type) for validation. The customer spot-checks the Board structure, column mappings, Group assignments, and contact-company linking. We reconcile record counts between the source export and the destination insert. Any mapping corrections happen in this phase. We do not proceed to full production migration until the customer signs off on the test results.
Production migration in dependency order
We run the production migration in record-dependency order: Companies first (because Contacts link to them), then Contacts (with Company links resolved), then Board Items (with Group assignments, column values, and Contact links resolved). Tags are assigned to Items and Contacts as Labels after the base records are in place. Each phase emits a row-count reconciliation report. We handle rate limiting and batch chunking to avoid API throttling on the ActiveCampaign export side.
Cutover, validation, and automation handoff
We freeze ActiveCampaign writes during cutover, run a delta migration of any records modified during the migration window, then mark Monday.com as the system of record. We deliver the automation inventory document listing every ActiveCampaign Automation with its trigger, conditions, actions, and Monday.com Automation Builder equivalent recommendation. We do not rebuild automations in Monday.com as part of the migration scope. We support a one-week hypercare window for reconciliation issues. Post-migration admin support, training, and Monday.com workflow build are separate engagements.
