Overview
Moving from Advantage HITS to Monday.com CRM is a structural migration that crosses two fundamentally different data models. Advantage HITS holds records in a standard CRM object hierarchy with no public API surface, while Monday.com CRM represents contacts, companies, and deals as items organized within boards and groups. We extract from Advantage HITS using authenticated session methods and load into Monday.com via its REST API with rate-limit handling and batch chunking. Monday.com has no native Lead object; prospects live in the People board or as deal-linked contacts depending on the customer's setup. We do not migrate automations, sequences, or custom objects; we deliver a written map of these for your admin to rebuild in Monday.com's Automation and Integrations center.
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 Advantage HITS 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.
Advantage HITS
Contact
monday CRM
People Board Item or Contact Group Item
1:1Advantage HITS Contact records map to Monday.com CRM People items or Contact items depending on the customer's board setup. We preserve all standard fields (name, email, phone, title, address) as typed columns. Custom contact properties migrate as text, number, date, or dropdown columns on the destination item.
Advantage HITS
Company
monday CRM
Company Board Item or Account Group Item
1:1Advantage HITS Company records map to Monday.com CRM Company items or a designated Account board. Address fields (city, state, country) map to location or address columns if enabled in the destination board. We preserve the original company domain as a text column for reference.
Advantage HITS
Deal
monday CRM
Deals Board Item
1:1Advantage HITS Deal records map to Monday.com CRM Deal items. Deal name becomes item name, deal value maps to a number column, and deal owner resolves via email to a Monday.com team member. We link each Deal item to the related Contact item via a relation column if the destination board includes contact linkage.
Advantage HITS
Pipeline
monday CRM
Board Group
lossyEach Advantage HITS pipeline becomes a Monday.com CRM board, and each pipeline stage becomes a Group within that board. We export the full pipeline definition (stage names, order, win/loss flags) separately and re-create the board and group structure before importing deal items into their respective groups.
Advantage HITS
Deal Stage
monday CRM
Board Group
lossyAdvantage HITS stage names are free-text fields with no stable ID. We export the complete stage list, preserve the ordering, and create matching Monday.com CRM groups in the same sequence. Deals without a stage match are placed in a default group and flagged for manual assignment.
Advantage HITS
Activities (calls, emails, meetings, tasks, notes)
monday CRM
Update Notes and Activity Columns
1:manyAdvantage HITS activity records merge into Monday.com CRM item updates. Each call, email, meeting, and task generates an update note on the linked Contact or Deal item with a timestamp header and activity content. Note attachments migrate as file attachments on the item. Monday.com CRM does not have a native activity timeline object; this representation preserves the history in an accessible format.
Advantage HITS
Custom Fields
monday CRM
Custom Columns
1:1User-defined fields on Contacts, Companies, or Deals in Advantage HITS enumerate from the field metadata panel and map to Monday.com CRM column types (text, number, date, dropdown, checkbox). We map the types directly and carry values through as-is. Multi-select dropdowns in Advantage HITS become multi-select columns in Monday.com CRM where supported.
Advantage HITS
Tag
monday CRM
Label Column or Tag Column
lossyTags applied to Advantage HITS contacts, companies, or deals expand from comma-separated lists into individual Monday.com CRM labels or tags. We map each distinct tag value to a label option in the destination board and apply all labels to the corresponding item. Customers choose between labels and tags during scoping based on their board configuration preference.
Advantage HITS
Attachment
monday CRM
File Column Item Attachment
1:1File attachments linked to Advantage HITS records are downloaded during extraction using authenticated requests, preserving original filenames. We re-upload each file to the destination Monday.com CRM item as a file column attachment. Files over 50 MB are flagged for manual handling because they risk session timeout during extraction.
Advantage HITS
User
monday CRM
Team Member
1:1Advantage HITS user accounts (name, email, role, active/inactive) map to Monday.com CRM team members by email match. Owner assignments on Deals and Contacts resolve to the matching Monday.com member by email. Users without a Monday.com account are held in a reconciliation queue for the customer to provision before record import resumes.
Advantage HITS
Lead Stages
monday CRM
Status Column or Tag on Contact Item
1:1Advantage HITS lifecycle stage values (subscriber, lead, MQL, SQL, opportunity, customer) map to a Monday.com CRM status column or tag on the Contact item. We preserve the original stage label in a text column for audit and reporting continuity. Monday.com CRM has no native Lead object, so all prospect stages map to the contact representation.
Advantage HITS
Custom Objects
monday CRM
None (not migratable)
lossyAdvantage HITS does not expose custom objects through any documented API endpoint, making them impossible to enumerate or extract programmatically. We document any custom object structures discovered during scoping in the handoff inventory and flag them as requiring manual rebuild or a custom Monday.com API integration post-migration.

Pair-specific challenges
Migration approach
Discovery and extraction method agreement
We audit the Advantage HITS account to enumerate contacts, companies, deals, pipelines, activities, custom fields, tags, and user accounts. Since Advantage HITS has no public API, we identify the authenticated session extraction method (bulk export feature if enabled, or authenticated session scraping) and agree on credentials and scope with the customer. We also review the target Monday.com CRM board structure and confirm the board setup, group names, and column types that will receive the migrated data. The discovery output is a written migration scope and a data extraction method confirmation.
Source data extraction via authenticated session
We extract all records from Advantage HITS using the agreed method. Contacts, companies, deals, and activities are pulled in structured format with all standard and custom fields included. Pipeline definitions export separately to capture stage names, ordering, and win/loss flags. Attachments download with original filenames preserved and internal session URLs resolved. Each extraction run emits a row-count and file-count summary for reconciliation before transformation begins.
Monday.com CRM board structure design
We design the Monday.com CRM board structure based on the Advantage HITS pipelines. Each Advantage HITS pipeline becomes a Monday.com CRM board, and each stage becomes a Group within that board in the original order. We configure the column types on each board to match the mapped fields (text, number, date, dropdown, status, label, person, file). If the customer has a People board and a Companies board, we configure the contact and account columns before importing deals that link to them.
Sandbox migration and reconciliation
We run a full migration into a staging environment or test board in Monday.com CRM using production-like data volume. The customer's admin reviews record counts, spot-checks 20-30 random records against the Advantage HITS source, and validates that attachments are accessible in the destination. Any mapping corrections, missing column types, or group assignments are adjusted before the production migration begins. Owner reconciliation happens in parallel: we match every Advantage HITS owner email to a Monday.com CRM team member and flag any gaps for admin provisioning.
Production migration in dependency order
We run production migration in record-dependency order: Monday.com CRM board and group structure deploys first, then contacts or companies import (depending on which board is the primary entity), then deals import with group assignment resolved from stage name mapping. Activities merge into item updates on the correct Contact or Deal item. Attachments upload to each item after the base record is created. Owner assignments resolve via email match at each phase. Each phase emits a row-count reconciliation report before the next phase begins.
Cutover, validation, and automation inventory handoff
We freeze Advantage HITS writes during cutover, run a final delta migration of any records modified during the migration window, then enable Monday.com CRM as the system of record. We deliver a written inventory of all Advantage HITS workflows, automations, and any custom object structures that could not be extracted, with recommendations for rebuilding each in Monday.com CRM's Automation center. We support a one-week hypercare window where we resolve reconciliation issues raised by the customer's team. We do not rebuild automations as part of the migration scope.
