Overview
Bella FSM organizes field-service operations around Customers, Jobs, Work Orders, Invoices, Equipment, and Inventory with a drag-and-drop dispatch board and per-record custom data fields (text, checkbox, dropdown). Monday CRM is a board-and-item platform where Contacts, Deals, and custom entities are rows on configurable boards with column types that replace traditional CRM fields. The migration carries Bella's structured records into Monday's board architecture: a Contact Board replaces the Bella customer record, a Deal Board replaces Jobs and Work Orders, an Equipment Board captures asset data as items with service history as subitems, and an Invoice Board captures billing records as items with line-item text. The API export path from Bella is not publicly documented at the API-reference level, so FlitStack AI sequences the migration using Bella's CSV report exports combined with direct database reads where credentials permit. Monday's daily API rate limits (1,000 for Basic/Standard, 10,000 for Pro) govern bulk-import pacing. We surface every custom data field from Bella as a matching Monday column type, flag text-field lengths that exceed Monday's 500-character item name limit, and map invoice statuses to Monday label columns. Automations, dispatch rules, and recurring scheduling logic do not migrate — we export those definitions as a Monday-compatible automation design document so your admin can rebuild them as Monday WorkFlows after go-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 Bella FSM 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.
Bella FSM
Customer
monday CRM
Contact Board (Item)
1:1Bella Customer records map as items on a Monday CRM Contact Board. The item Name uses the Bella customer full name; email, phone, and address columns are matched to Monday's Email, Phone, and Location column types. Bella's customer notes migrate to the item Description column or a custom long-text column.
Bella FSM
Job
monday CRM
Deal Board (Item)
1:1Bella Job records become Monday Deal Board items. The job name maps to the item Name; scheduled date maps to a Date column; assigned technician email resolves to a Person column if a matching Monday user exists; job status (scheduled, in-progress, completed) maps to Monday Status label columns by value. Bella job line items (labor + parts) are modeled as subitems or text-block columns in Monday Deals.
Bella FSM
Work Order
monday CRM
Deal Board sub-item or separate Work Order Board (Item)
many:1Bella Work Orders attach to Jobs and carry work order number, priority, description, assigned technician, scheduled date, and checklist/inspection fields. We merge Work Order fields into the parent Deal Board item as custom columns (work order number, priority label, technician) or as subitems when granular line-level detail must be preserved. Your admin chooses the granularity during the field-level diff review.
Bella FSM
Equipment
monday CRM
Equipment Board (Item)
1:1Bella Equipment records map as items on a Monday CRM Equipment Board. The item Name uses the equipment name or serial number. Columns for Status, Location, Make/Model, and Last Service Date are created as matching Monday column types. Service history from Bella becomes subitems on the equipment item with Date, Description, Technician, and Cost columns.
Bella FSM
Invoice
monday CRM
Invoice Board (Item)
1:1Bella Invoice records migrate as items on a Monday CRM Invoice Board. Invoice number, invoice date, customer name (linked or text), invoice status (paid/unpaid/overdue), total amount, and line-item summary map to Monday columns. Monday has no native accounting module — invoice items are for record-keeping and workflow status, not payment processing.
Bella FSM
Inventory / Parts
monday CRM
Inventory Board (Item)
1:1Bella inventory records (parts, stock items, warehouse quantities) map as items on a Monday Inventory Board. Columns for Part Name, SKU, Quantity On Hand, Reorder Level, Unit Cost, and Warehouse Location are created as matching Monday column types. Stock level tracking and reorder alerts can be rebuilt as Monday automations once the board is live.
Bella FSM
Vendor
monday CRM
Vendor Board (Item)
1:1Bella Vendor records map as items on a Monday Vendor Board. Item Name uses the vendor company name; columns for Contact Name, Email, Phone, Address, and Notes are matched to Monday column types. Vendor records are informational in Monday and do not drive purchasing workflows natively.
Bella FSM
Custom Data Field (Text)
monday CRM
Custom Column (Text / Long Text)
1:1Bella text custom data fields on the Customer or Job page become Monday custom columns of type Text. If the field stores multi-line content or exceeds the standard text column length, we create a Long Text column in Monday to accommodate the full value.
Bella FSM
Custom Data Field (Checkbox)
monday CRM
Custom Column (Checkbox)
1:1Bella checkbox custom data fields map directly to Monday's Checkbox column type. Each checkbox on Bella's customer page or job page becomes a separate Checkbox column on the corresponding Monday Contact Board or Deal Board item. The column label matches the Bella field name exactly, and the checked state transfers to the Monday Checkbox column value.
Bella FSM
Custom Data Field (Dropdown)
monday CRM
Custom Column (Dropdown / Status)
1:1Bella dropdown custom data fields with custom option lists migrate to Monday Dropdown columns with the same option values preserved. We map the values one-by-one; if the dropdown has more than 15 options we recommend a Monday Status column instead for better Kanban-grouping flexibility.
Bella FSM
Technician / User
monday CRM
Monday User (Person column)
1:1Bella user records (technicians, dispatchers, admins) do not have a direct CRM counterpart in Monday. We resolve each Bella user by email against Monday workspace members and assign Person column values on Deal and Work Order items. Unresolved users are flagged before migration and assigned to a fallback Person value.
Bella FSM
Schedule / Dispatch
monday CRM
Date columns + Status labels on Deal Board
1:1Bella's drag-and-drop dispatch calendar does not map to a single Monday entity. The scheduled date and assigned technician migrate to Date and Person columns on the Deal Board item. The dispatch priority and technician route information are stored as custom columns; a timeline view on the Monday Deal Board recreates the scheduling overview.
Bella FSM
Attachment / File
monday CRM
File column on Monday Item
1:1Bella file attachments on work orders, jobs, or customer records are downloaded and re-uploaded to Monday's File column on the corresponding item. Monday's 250MB file storage limit per file applies. We preserve the original filename and attachment date for traceability.

Migration approach
Discover Bella data exports and Monday workspace structure
FlitStack AI requests Bella FSM CSV exports for all standard reports (Customer Report, Job Report, Work Order Report, Invoice Report, Equipment Report, Inventory Report) and the Custom Data Field export option. We count records, catalog every custom field (name, type, option list values), and audit file attachments by size. In parallel, we assess the target Monday CRM workspace: plan the board count (Contact, Deal, Equipment, Invoice, Inventory, Vendor boards), define column types for each board, and identify Monday user accounts for Person column resolution.
Build Monday board schema and resolve owner mappings
Before data moves, FlitStack AI creates the Monday boards and columns needed for the migration. We create the Contact Board with Name, Email, Phone, Location, and Notes columns plus all Bella custom fields as matching Monday column types. We create the Deal Board with Name, Job Number, Scheduled Date, Technician (Person), Status, Priority, Description, Amount, Labor Hours, Parts Cost columns plus work order-specific columns. Equipment, Invoice, Inventory, and Vendor boards follow the same schema-first approach. We resolve Bella technician and user email addresses against Monday workspace members for Person column assignment; unmatched users are flagged for manual assignment before migration.
Run a sample migration with field-level diff
A representative slice migrates first — typically 100–500 records spanning customers, jobs, work orders, equipment, and invoices with a range of custom field types and statuses. FlitStack AI generates a field-level diff comparing source Bella values against the Monday item values, so you can verify that checkbox columns are checked correctly, dropdown values match Bella option lists, Date columns preserve the original scheduled date, and technician Person columns resolve to the correct Monday user. You approve the diff before the full run commits.
Execute full migration with delta-pickup window
The full migration loads all Bella records into Monday boards in dependency order: Customers first (for Contact Board), then Jobs and Work Orders (for Deal Board), then Equipment (for Equipment Board), then Invoices, Inventory, and Vendors. A delta-pickup window of 24–48 hours after the initial load captures any records created or modified in Bella during the cutover so Monday reflects Bella's final state at go-live. Monday API rate limits are respected throughout — imports pace within the daily call cap for the target workspace plan.
Validate, audit, and hand off rebuild references
After the delta-pickup closes, FlitStack AI generates a validation report comparing record counts and field completeness between Bella and Monday. Record counts by board, null-rate by column, and any unresolved Person columns are flagged. We deliver the automation-rebuild reference document capturing Bella's dispatch rules, scheduling logic, and recurring appointment patterns as Monday-compatible WorkFlow designs. A one-click rollback is available if reconciliation fails — all Monday board items created during migration are removed and the delta-pickup re-runs once the root cause is resolved.
