Overview
Affinity Fieldreach stores People, Organizations, Opportunities, Notes, and Activities via a REST API at api.affinity.co. Monday CRM uses a board-and-item data model with Contacts, Companies, and Deals boards accessed via GraphQL API. FlitStack AI sequences the migration so we export Affinity's complete dataset through its REST API — respecting API rate limits and pagination — then load records into Monday via the GraphQL API, creating the matching boards and columns before any data lands. We map Person first/last name and email to Monday's Name and Email column types, Organization name and industry to the Companies board, and Affinity Opportunities to Monday Deals items with amount, stage, and close date stored in Monday column types. Affinity relationship data (person-to-organization associations) translates to Monday's person-column linking on each contact record. Activity history (Notes) migrates as Comments attached to the relevant contact or deal item. Affinity automations, workflow rules, and any relationship-intelligence logic do not have Monday equivalents — we export your automation definitions as a reference document for your Monday admin to rebuild using Monday's Workflows builder. Files attached to Affinity records are re-uploaded to Monday's native file storage on each item. The migration runs with scoped read-only access on your Affinity account, so your team keeps working throughout. A delta-pickup window (24–48 hours) captures any final changes before Monday goes live.
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 Affinity Fieldreach 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.
Affinity Fieldreach
Person
monday CRM
Contact (Contacts board)
1:1Affinity People map directly to Monday Contacts board items. Monday creates one Item per contact with Name and Email column types. Affinity custom fields on Person objects become Monday columns on the Contacts board — each custom field requires a matching column type to be created before migration.
Affinity Fieldreach
Organization
monday CRM
Company (Companies board)
1:1Affinity Organizations map to Monday Companies board Items. Organization name maps to the Name column; domain maps to Website column type. Affinity parent-organization hierarchies map to Monday Companies as well, with the parent Org name stored in a text column for reference.
Affinity Fieldreach
Opportunity
monday CRM
Deal (Deals board)
1:1Affinity Opportunities map to Monday Deals board Items. Each Opportunity becomes an Item on the Deals board with deal name in a text column, amount in a number column, stage mapped to Monday Groups, and close date in a date column. Owner resolves by email match to Monday users.
Affinity Fieldreach
List
monday CRM
Group + Status column
1:1Affinity Lists contain Opportunities organized by pipeline stage; each distinct Affinity List maps to a Monday Deals board Group that represents that specific pipeline stage within the sales process. All Opportunities belonging to a given Affinity List populate the corresponding Group on the Deals board. The original Affinity List name is preserved as a reference text column on each migrated deal Item to maintain audit trail visibility into the source pipeline context.
Affinity Fieldreach
Note
monday CRM
Comment on Contact or Deal Item
1:1Affinity Notes attached to People, Organizations, or Opportunities become Monday Comments on the corresponding Contact or Deal Item. The note body text transfers verbatim to the comment field, and the original note creation timestamp is preserved in the comment metadata for historical accuracy. The note author resolves to the corresponding Monday user account by email address matching for attribution clarity.
Affinity Fieldreach
Activity Log
monday CRM
Comment on Contact or Deal Item
1:1Affinity activity log entries including meeting records, phone call logs, and email activity map to Monday Comments with a standardized type prefix in the comment body such as 'Call:', 'Meeting:', or 'Email:'. The original activity date, duration in minutes, and relevant metadata are preserved in the comment text body for comprehensive historical reference and audit compliance.
Affinity Fieldreach
Person-Organization Association
monday CRM
Person column on Contact Item
1:1Affinity's person-to-organization relationship capturing primary and secondary company associations translates to Monday's person column on the Contact Item, which links directly to the related Company Item in the Companies board. When a person has multiple organization associations in Affinity, the primary company link is set as the main person-column connection while secondary associations are recorded in a dedicated text column for reference.
Affinity Fieldreach
Custom Field (Person)
monday CRM
Column on Contacts board
1:1Affinity custom fields defined on Person objects become Monday columns on the Contacts board. Field type mapping follows type-aware rules: text fields map to Monday text columns, pick-list fields map to Monday dropdown columns with option values preserved exactly, date fields map to Monday date columns, and number fields map to Monday number columns for accurate data representation.
Affinity Fieldreach
Custom Field (Organization)
monday CRM
Column on Companies board
1:1Affinity custom fields defined on Organization objects map to Monday columns on the Companies board using the identical type-aware column creation process applied to Person custom fields. Each Affinity field type receives the corresponding Monday column type, and pick-list values transfer as dropdown options to maintain data consistency across the migrated organization records.
Affinity Fieldreach
Custom Field (Opportunity)
monday CRM
Column on Deals board
1:1Affinity custom fields on Opportunity objects map to Monday columns on the Deals board. Probability percentage fields use Monday number columns, priority level pick-list fields become dropdown columns with preserved values, and other numeric or selection-based fields use appropriate Monday column types matching the original Affinity field behavior.
Affinity Fieldreach
Attachment / File
monday CRM
File on Monday Item
1:1Files attached to Affinity People, Organizations, or Opportunities are downloaded from Affinity's storage system during the migration export phase and re-uploaded to the corresponding Monday Item's file section. Monday's per-file storage limits and supported file types apply to the migrated attachments.
Affinity Fieldreach
Automation Rule
monday CRM
Not migratable — rebuild reference document
1:1Affinity automation rules have no direct equivalent in Monday CRM due to fundamentally different trigger-action architectures. We export your complete Affinity automation definitions as a structured JSON reference document that itemizes each rule's trigger conditions, action steps, and configured parameters. Your Monday admin uses this document as a rebuild specification to recreate equivalent automations using Monday's Workflows builder interface.

Migration approach
Audit Affinity data model and build the Monday workspace schema
We enumerate every Affinity entity type in your account — People, Organizations, Opportunities, Notes, Activities, and custom fields on each object. For each entity we identify the record count, field list, and relationship graph. We then create the matching Monday workspace: the Contacts board, Companies board, and Deals board with all required columns created before any data loads. Custom Affinity fields map to Monday column types during this phase, and we flag any relationship data (person-to-person ties, parent-organization hierarchies) that will need manual resolution in Monday's flat model.
Export data from Affinity via REST API with rate-limit awareness
FlitStack AI pulls data from Affinity's REST API at api.affinity.co using pagination to retrieve all records across entity types. We respect Affinity's per-minute API rate limits and apply throttling to avoid 429 Too Many Requests errors. Each record is enriched with its original created-at and updated-at timestamps, owner email, and source entity ID. Relationship data (person-to-organization associations) is extracted as a separate mapping table for resolution in the load phase. Activity logs and Notes are extracted with parent record references so they attach to the correct Monday Item on load.
Transform and load into Monday via GraphQL API with plan-tier pacing
We transform the Affinity export into Monday's item format for each board — mapping field values to the correct column types, resolving owner emails to Monday user IDs, and sequencing writes so parent records (Organizations, People) load before child records (Opportunities referencing them). Monday API writes are paced according to your plan tier's daily call limit. Monday's complexity budget is monitored per query; complex bulk operations are split into smaller batches. Progress is tracked per board so you can see exactly where the migration stands at any point.
Run a sample migration with field-level diff for validation
A representative sample of records — typically 100–500 across Contacts, Companies, and Deals — migrates first before the full run commits. We generate a field-level diff comparing source values in Affinity against the loaded values in Monday for every mapped column. You review the diff to verify column mapping correctness, note timestamp preservation, confirm owner resolution, and validate that Affinity relationship data landed in the correct Monday fields. Approval of the sample diff is the gate for the full migration run.
Execute full migration with delta-pickup and rollback readiness
The full dataset loads into Monday, paced by API limits and monitored for errors. A delta-pickup window (24–48 hours) runs concurrently, capturing any records created or modified in Affinity during the cutover window. Audit logs record every Monday API write operation with timestamps and record identifiers. One-click rollback is available if post-migration reconciliation reveals unexpected data gaps. After go-live, we deliver a reconciliation report comparing Affinity record counts and a sample of field values against Monday to confirm completeness.
