Overview
AWeber and Monday CRM occupy opposite ends of the business software spectrum. AWeber is a subscriber-first email marketing platform built around lists, tags, and campaign automation — it has no native deal tracking, pipeline management, or sales-process modeling. Monday CRM is a board-based work OS that extends a visual CRM layer over customizable columns and automations. There is no direct object-level equivalence between the two: no AWeber object maps cleanly to a Monday CRM deal, and no Monday CRM pipeline maps back to an AWeber list structure. The migration is therefore a data-portability exercise, not a schema translation. We extract AWeber subscribers via the REST API (120 requests per minute limit), resolve them into Monday CRM contacts, and preserve list membership, tag assignments, and engagement history as custom fields, labels, and activity entries. Campaign automation logic, email templates, and landing pages have no Monday CRM equivalent — we export those definitions as structured reference files so your admin can rebuild them as Monday automations. Monday's API rate limits (1,000–25,000 daily calls depending on plan tier) determine the extraction pacing. All subscriber timestamps, tag names, and engagement counters migrate with original values preserved.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a Aweber 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.
Aweber
Subscriber
monday CRM
Contact (monday CRM person entity)
1:1AWeber subscribers map directly to Monday CRM contacts. We pull email, name, phone, address, and all custom field values from each subscriber record and write them as Monday CRM contact properties. Original subscriber create dates migrate as a custom date field for reporting continuity.
Aweber
List (AWeber)
monday CRM
Custom Field + Group Label (monday CRM)
1:1AWeber lists have no direct Monday CRM equivalent. We translate each list into a Monday CRM contact group (label) plus a custom field capturing which list(s) a contact belongs to. If a contact is on multiple lists, the field stores a comma-separated list name string. List-specific custom fields merge into the contact record under a prefixed field name.
Aweber
Tag
monday CRM
Label (monday CRM)
1:1AWeber tags transfer one‑to‑one to Monday CRM labels attached to each contact record. The migration keeps tag names exactly as they appear, preserving case and punctuation. Labels surface as filterable contact tags within Monday CRM and can be used to create dynamic board views, trigger automations, or group contacts for targeted follow‑up activities.
Aweber
Custom Field (AWeber, per-list)
monday CRM
Custom Field (monday CRM)
1:1AWeber supports up to 25 custom fields per list. We inspect every list's custom field schema during discovery, then create matching custom fields in Monday CRM (text, number, date, or dropdown matching AWeber's field type). Monday CRM has no fixed field type for phone — we store phone as a text custom field.
Aweber
Campaign
monday CRM
Note / Custom Field on Contact (monday CRM)
1:1AWeber campaigns have no Monday CRM equivalent. We store campaign name, send date, and send volume as a custom activity note on each contact who received that campaign. This preserves the send history for reporting but does not recreate campaign automation logic.
Aweber
Engagement — Open
monday CRM
Custom Number Field (monday CRM)
1:1AWeber records each time a subscriber opens a specific campaign, yielding per‑subscriber open tallies. During migration, we sum these open events for each contact and write the total into a custom number field called Total_Opens__c on the Monday CRM contact. Individual campaign open rates are retained as notes attached to the contact, allowing you to see overall engagement and drill down into historical send performance.
Aweber
Engagement — Click
monday CRM
Custom Number Field (monday CRM)
1:1Each AWeber campaign records clicks made by a subscriber on links within the message. The migration aggregates those click counts for every contact into a Total_Clicks__c custom number field on the Monday CRM contact. If the client requests detailed click reporting, we preserve the individual click event timestamps and URLs as activity notes on the contact record, enabling granular analysis of content interaction.
Aweber
Unsubscribed Flag
monday CRM
Custom Status Field (monday CRM)
1:1When a subscriber opts out in AWeber, the action is irreversible, so the unsubscribe status must be accurately reflected in Monday CRM. We capture the exact unsubscribe timestamp and the list from which the contact unsubscribed, then write this data into a custom status field called Subscribed/Unsubscribed on the contact. The contact remains in Monday CRM for list hygiene and suppression purposes, but it is clearly marked to prevent any future email sends.
Aweber
Campaign Automation / Sequence
monday CRM
No equivalent in Monday CRM
1:1AWeber's automation engine runs time‑driven drip sequences, trigger‑based campaigns, welcome messages, and follow‑up series, none of which have a direct counterpart in Monday CRM's board‑trigger automation framework. The migration extracts all automation logic and outputs it as structured JSON plus a PDF reference guide. Your Monday CRM admin can then use that documentation to manually rebuild each workflow using Monday's When‑If‑Then automation blocks, adapting triggers such as list joins or tag additions to equivalent board actions.
Aweber
Landing Page
monday CRM
No equivalent in Monday CRM
1:1AWeber's landing pages and opt‑in forms capture subscriber data using custom fields and design elements that do not exist in Monday CRM. The migration exports the complete form field schemas, field types, and the URLs of every landing page as structured reference data. You can then recreate equivalent capture flows using Monday.com's native Form app or external form builders, mapping the exported field definitions to your new forms and connecting them to your Monday CRM contact board.
Aweber
Email Template
monday CRM
External reference only
1:1AWeber stores email templates as proprietary HTML with embedded images, which cannot be directly imported into Monday CRM. The migration extracts the full HTML source and all linked image assets as a downloadable package. To resume outreach, import the template HTML into an external email service such as Mailchimp or SendGrid, then connect that provider to Monday CRM via Zapier or a native integration to trigger sends from board workflows.
Aweber
Subscriber / AWeber system ID
monday CRM
Custom Text Field (monday CRM)
1:1During migration, each contact receives a custom text field named AWeber_Subscriber_ID__c that stores the original AWeber internal subscriber identifier. This ID persists on the Monday CRM contact record, enabling precise traceability back to the source system, supporting de‑duplication checks during subsequent delta runs, and allowing you to reconcile any data discrepancies without relying on email addresses alone.

Migration approach
Discover AWeber list schemas and engagement data coverage
We connect to AWeber via OAuth and enumerate every list, its custom field schema, and the subscriber count per field. We pull campaign send history and engagement aggregates (open counts, click counts, bounce counts) per subscriber. This discovery run produces a data inventory: how many unique field names exist across all lists, how many multi-list subscribers need prefixed field normalization, and how many engagement data fields need custom field creation in Monday CRM. We share the inventory with you for confirmation before extraction begins.
Define Monday CRM custom fields and column types
Based on the discovery inventory, we create the required custom fields and labels in your Monday CRM account. This includes the engagement counter fields (Total_Opens__c, Total_Clicks__c), the AWeber metadata fields (Subscribed_Date__c, AWeber_Subscriber_ID__c), the list membership text field, and all custom fields translated from AWeber list schemas. We match AWeber field types to Monday CRM column types and flag any field-value constraints before creating the schema.
Extract AWeber subscriber data with engagement and tag history
We pull all subscribers via the AWeber REST API at the 120 requests per minute rate limit. For each subscriber we extract: core contact properties, all tag names, all list memberships, all custom field values, subscriber creation and update timestamps, unsubscribe status, bounce and complaint counts, and the aggregated send/open/click totals per campaign. The extraction is checkpointed — if the session is interrupted, we resume from the last processed subscriber ID without re-extracting earlier records.
Run a sample migration with field-level diff
A representative slice of 200–500 subscribers migrates into Monday CRM first. We generate a field-level diff comparing source values (AWeber field data) against destination values (Monday CRM contact properties). You review the diff to verify tag-to-label mapping, list-membership string formatting, engagement field population, and multi-list field normalization. Any schema adjustments identified in the sample run are applied before the full migration commits.
Execute full migration with delta-pickup window
The full subscriber set loads into Monday CRM via the API, respecting the daily rate limit of your Monday CRM plan. After the initial load, a 24–48 hour delta-pickup window captures any new subscribers or tag changes that occurred in AWeber during the migration window. We log every API operation in an audit trail. If reconciliation reveals discrepancies, a one-click rollback reverts Monday CRM to its pre-migration state so the run can be corrected and re-executed without data corruption.
Deliver automation export and rebuild reference
We export AWeber automation definitions (campaign triggers, time-delay sequences, conditional rules) as structured JSON and PDF reference documentation. We provide a rebuild guide that maps AWeber trigger types to Monday CRM automation patterns where equivalence exists, and flags triggers that have no Monday CRM equivalent and must be designed from scratch. This deliverable does not include the automation rebuild itself — that is a manual step for your Monday CRM admin, informed by the reference we provide.
