Overview
Allegory organizes CRM data in a relational object model with structured objects, fields, and inter-object relationships. Monday CRM uses a flat board-and-item architecture where every record is an item on a board and every attribute is a column. These architectural differences shape every decision in the migration. We extract contacts, companies, deals, and custom objects from Allegory via its API or CSV export. Each Allegory object type becomes a dedicated board in Monday CRM. Allegory's object fields map to Monday's column types — text fields become Text columns, numbers become Number columns, pick-lists become Status or Dropdown columns, and dates become Date columns. Custom fields in Allegory translate to custom columns in Monday. The harder problems are relationship preservation and pipeline mapping. Allegory's inter-object relationships (contact-to-deal, company-to-contact) have no direct Monday CRM equivalent — we map them using Monday's Link to Item column or by appending relationship IDs to a Text column, depending on how your Allegory setup structures associations. Allegory deal pipelines and stages require reconstruction in Monday as separate boards with Status columns configured per pipeline. Monday automations, workflows, and any business logic built in Allegory do not migrate — those require manual rebuild in Monday's Automation Center. We export Allegory workflow definitions as a reference document your team can use during reconstruction. The migration itself runs on read-only Allegory access; your team continues working in Allegory during the window, and a 24–48 hour delta-pickup captures in-flight changes at cutover.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a Allegory 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.
Allegory
Contact
monday CRM
People board (CRM)
1:1Allegory contacts migrate as items on Monday CRM's People board. Each contact becomes a single item; Allegory contact properties map to Monday columns. Multi-company associations that Allegory stores as N:N relationships collapse to a primary company link with secondary companies surfaced in a Text or Link column.
Allegory
Company
monday CRM
Organizations board (CRM)
1:1Allegory companies migrate as items on Monday CRM's Organizations board. Company name, domain, industry, employee count, and annual revenue map to matching columns. Parent-child company hierarchies in Allegory translate to a Link to Item column pointing to the parent organization item in Monday.
Allegory
Deal / Opportunity
monday CRM
Deal board (CRM)
1:1Allegory deals migrate as items on Monday CRM's Deal board. Deal name, amount, stage, close date, owner, and description map to columns. Deal stage values from Allegory become Status column options — each Allegory pipeline maps to a Group in Monday or a dedicated board depending on your pipeline count.
Allegory
Pipeline
monday CRM
Board Groups / Status Column
1:1Allegory's pipeline model — multiple deal stages per pipeline — maps to Monday's Group structure within a board or to separate boards per pipeline. Stage names become Status column options with color coding. Stage probability and forecast category are noted but not natively available in Monday — these can be added as Number columns if reporting requires them.
Allegory
Activity (Call, Email, Meeting)
monday CRM
Activity board / subitems
1:1Allegory activity records (calls, emails, meetings) become items on a dedicated Activity board, or subitems on the related contact or deal item. Each activity type maps to a Status or Dropdown column indicating the activity kind. Original timestamps, owners, and body text are preserved in Date, Link to Item, and Text columns respectively.
Allegory
Note / Attachment
monday CRM
Document board / File upload
1:1Allegory notes migrate as items on a Documents board or as subitems on the related contact/deal item. Rich-text note content is stored as a Text column (plain text) or a doc column. File attachments are downloaded and re-uploaded to Monday's file storage, linked to the related item.
Allegory
Custom Object
monday CRM
Custom board
1:1Allegory custom objects map 1:1 to dedicated boards in Monday CRM. Each custom object attribute becomes a column on the new board. If the custom object has relationships to standard objects, those relationships map via Link to Item columns after the target boards are migrated.
Allegory
Custom Field (on any object)
monday CRM
Custom Column
1:1Allegory custom fields on Contacts, Companies, or Deals map to Monday custom columns. Field type guides the column type: text fields → Text column, numbers → Number column, dates → Date column, pick-lists → Status or Dropdown column, multi-select → Tags column. Boolean flags map to Checkbox columns.
Allegory
User / Owner
monday CRM
Monday CRM user (matched by email)
1:1Allegory owner and user records are matched to Monday CRM users by email address. Unmatched owners are flagged before migration commits — your team either creates Monday accounts for them first or assigns their records to a designated fallback owner. Owner resolution is validated before data lands.
Allegory
Tag / Label
monday CRM
Tags column / Text column
1:1Allegory tags and labels migrate to Monday's Tags column where available, or to a Text column storing comma-separated tag values. If tags use a controlled vocabulary, we create a Monday Dropdown column with matching options. Tag-to-record associations are preserved as column values on each item.

Allegory gotchas
Acquisition status may mean migrated data already exists in Integreon
No public API means manual export and file-based migration
Inactive website and product status limits vendor coordination

Pair-specific challenges
Migration approach
Audit Allegory data model and extract object inventory
We connect to Allegory via API or CSV export and inventory every object type, custom field, and inter-object relationship in your account. This audit identifies the full set of boards and columns we need to build in Monday CRM, flags any pipeline stage counts that exceed Monday's Status column limit of 110 options, and surfaces relationship complexity that will require Link to Item column mapping. The audit output is a migration plan document your team reviews before we touch any data.
Build Monday CRM board structure and column schema
Before data moves, we create the boards, groups, and columns in Monday CRM that correspond to your Allegory objects. Contacts become a People board, Companies become an Organizations board, Deals become a Deal board, and custom objects become dedicated boards. We configure column types to match Allegory field types: Status columns for pick-lists, Number columns for amounts, Date columns for timestamps. This step runs first so the destination schema is ready before validation begins.
Match Allegory users to Monday CRM users by email
Allegory owner and user records are resolved by email match against Monday CRM user accounts. Unmatched owners are flagged and surfaced to your team for resolution — either by creating Monday accounts for them or assigning their records to a fallback owner. No record migrates without a resolved owner. This step prevents orphaned records that have no Monday assignee after cutover.
Migrate contacts and companies before deals and activities
Monday's relationship model requires target items to exist before Link to Item columns can reference them. We sequence the migration so Companies → Organizations and Contacts → People boards load first. Deals → Deal board runs after contacts are in place so contact-to-deal links can resolve. Activities and notes migrate last, with their parent contact or deal links established once those boards are populated. This ordering ensures foreign-key integrity across all boards.
Run a sample migration with field-level diff
A representative sample — typically 100–500 records spanning contacts, companies, deals, and activities — migrates first. We generate a field-level diff comparing source Allegory values against the Monday CRM column values so you can verify mapping correctness before the full run. This step catches missing Status column options, owner resolution gaps, and date format issues before they affect your entire dataset.
Execute full migration with delta-pickup and rollback plan
The full dataset migrates after sample validation is approved. A 24–48 hour delta-pickup window runs alongside or after the full migration to capture any Allegory records created or modified during the cutover window. Every operation is logged in an audit report. One-click rollback is available if reconciliation reveals data integrity issues, so Monday CRM can be reverted without re-importing from Allegory.
