Overview
Moving from Adobe Campaign to Monday.com CRM is a directional shift from an enterprise marketing campaign platform to a visual work-management CRM. Adobe Campaign's XML-schema-based data model (nms:recipient, nms:campaign, nms:service) maps selectively to Monday.com's Contact, Company, and board-based Item structure, but multi-channel delivery logs, broadlog send history, and FDA-linked custom schemas do not have native equivalents in Monday.com CRM. We extract Recipients as Contacts, Campaign labels and dates as board Items, and Services as group or column metadata. We do not migrate workflows, email delivery definitions, or dynamic content blocks as code; we deliver a written inventory of these for the customer's admin to rebuild in Monday.com's automation builder. Per-active-profile billing relief is a common trigger for this migration — any Recipient record not intended for ongoing marketing contact lands in a suppression list before import to prevent unintended billing in the customer's next Adobe Campaign contract cycle.
Every standard and custom field arrives verified.
AI proposes the map; you confirm before any record moves.
Parent–child, lookups, and ownership stay linked.
Calls, emails, meetings — with original timestamps.
Documents, uploads, and inline notes move with the record.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a Adobe Campaign 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.
Adobe Campaign
Recipient (nms:recipient)
monday CRM
Contact
1:1Adobe Campaign Recipients map directly to Monday.com CRM Contacts. Standard fields (email, format preference, address) migrate as typed Contact fields. Custom fields added via nms:recipient schema extension map to Monday.com custom fields on the Contact record. The Recipient's unique identifier is preserved as a custom field (ac_recipient_id__c) for reconciliation with Adobe Campaign if the platform remains in use for any send functions.
Adobe Campaign
Campaign (nms:campaign)
monday CRM
Board Item
1:1Adobe Campaign Campaign metadata (label, start date, end date, type, status) migrates as a board Item with typed columns: Campaign Name as the Item name, start date and end date as Date columns, type as a Status or Dropdown column, and campaign status as a separate column. We recommend creating a dedicated Campaigns board in Monday.com CRM for this mapping rather than mixing with the main CRM pipeline board.
Adobe Campaign
Service (nms:service)
monday CRM
Contact custom field or Group
lossyOpt-in subscription records link Recipients to Services. Subscription status and subscription date migrate as custom fields on the Contact record (subscription_status__c, subscription_date__c). If the customer maintains multiple active services, we create a Group in the Monday.com CRM board to represent the Service and link subscribed Contacts via a Contact column type. Double-opt-in confirmation flags from Adobe Campaign require value-mapping to Monday.com checkbox or Status column equivalents.
Adobe Campaign
Tracking logs (NmsTrackingLog)
monday CRM
Board Item columns
1:1Adobe Campaign click-through URLs and timestamped tracking events migrate as custom fields on the related Campaign Item in Monday.com CRM: last_click_url__c, last_click_timestamp__c, and last_open_timestamp__c. Aggregate open and click rates recalculate at the destination because Monday.com CRM does not maintain a native broadlog. We preserve the raw tracking event timestamps as structured fields so the customer can build reporting views from them.
Adobe Campaign
Custom schemas (nms:ext: namespace)
monday CRM
Custom fields or separate Board
lossyCustom tables created via nms:ext: namespace or FDA-linked external schemas require custom extraction logic. We inspect the schema XML to derive the underlying SQL table structure, then map each column to either a Monday.com CRM custom field (if 1:1 with a Contact or Company) or a separate Board with Item records representing the custom entity. FDA live-query joins do not migrate; we recommend rebuilding equivalent lookups as Monday.com integrations or manual data refresh processes.
Adobe Campaign
Programs
monday CRM
Board
1:1Adobe Campaign Standard and v8 Programs are hierarchical containers for Campaigns. Folder structure and program labels migrate as separate Boards in Monday.com CRM, with Campaign Items nested within each Program Board. Program-specific permissions do not migrate and must be reconfigured in Monday.com board permission settings post-migration.
Adobe Campaign
BroadLog (Delivery logs)
monday CRM
Board Item status columns
1:1BroadLog records track every message sent across channels. We cannot replicate the full broadlog structure in Monday.com CRM because the platform has no native delivery log concept. We migrate a summary: per-Campaign send count, bounce count, and delivery status stored as board columns. Detailed per-recipient delivery status (sent, delivered, bounced, hard_bounce, soft_bounce at the individual level) requires a custom board or an external reporting tool and is documented as a gap in the migration scope.
Adobe Campaign
Seed addresses
monday CRM
none
1:1Seed addresses are internal testing records used for proofing. They are instance-specific and not designed for cross-platform portability. We do not migrate seed addresses and recommend rebuilding proofing processes in Monday.com CRM as a separate testing Contact group.

Migration approach
Discovery and edition scoping
We audit the source Adobe Campaign instance across all editions in scope (Classic v7, Standard, and/or v8), cataloguing Recipients, Campaigns, Services, custom schemas (nms:ext:), FDA-linked tables, workflow count, and delivery log volume. For v8 instances, we query both the local PostgreSQL and cloud databases and cross-reference records by primary key. We identify which Recipients should be classified as suppressed or inactive before export to prevent per-active-profile billing overages. The discovery output is a written migration scope, record-count baseline, and a schema compatibility matrix for Monday.com CRM field mapping.
Monday.com CRM schema design
We design the destination structure in Monday.com CRM: a Contacts board mirroring the Recipient schema, a Campaigns board for campaign metadata, a Services board or group structure for subscriptions, and any custom Boards needed for nms:ext: schema entities. We configure custom fields with types matched to the Adobe Campaign schema column types, set up board Groups and Status columns aligned to Adobe Campaign statuses, and configure board permissions to match the customer's team access requirements. Schema is validated in a Monday.com test account before production migration begins.
Data extraction with chunking and FFDA reconciliation
We extract Recipients, Campaigns, Services, and custom schema records from Adobe Campaign using workflow-based data extraction for large sets (exceeding the 100,000-row list export ceiling on Standard), with chunking by primary key ranges. For v8 instances, we run cross-database reconciliation between the local and cloud databases before combining into a single export set. Tracking logs extract from NmsTrackingLog with URL and timestamp preserved. Delivery log summaries extract from BroadLog at the campaign level. Each extraction produces a row-count report used as a reconciliation baseline at the destination.
Contact deduplication and data cleansing
We run deduplication on the extracted Recipient set using email address as the primary key. Duplicate records (same email across multiple Recipients) are flagged for the customer's review with a recommended primary-record strategy. Incomplete records missing required fields (email or last name) are held in a correction queue. Subscription status flags are validated against the Adobe Campaign suppression list to ensure opt-out records do not land as active contacts in Monday.com CRM.
Production migration in dependency order
We run production migration into Monday.com CRM in dependency order: Contacts first (with dedupe applied and suppression list filtered), then Companies (if Adobe Campaign stores organizational data), then Campaigns board Items (with date and status columns populated), then Services or subscription custom fields on Contacts, then custom entity Boards (from nms:ext: schemas), and finally tracking summary columns on Campaign Items. Each phase emits a row-count reconciliation report before the next phase begins. Monday.com API v2 rate limits (1,000 requests/min per account) are respected with batch chunking and exponential backoff.
Cutover, validation, and rebuild handoff
We freeze Adobe Campaign writes during the cutover window, run a final delta migration of any records modified during the migration, then enable Monday.com CRM as the system of record. We deliver the written inventory of all workflows, delivery definitions, and dynamic content blocks requiring rebuild, with recommended Monday.com automation equivalents. We support a one-week post-cutover window to resolve any data reconciliation issues. We do not rebuild Adobe Campaign workflows or email delivery content as Monday.com automations inside the migration scope; that is a separate engagement.
