Overview
BrightDoor is a verticalized real estate CRM built for homebuilders, developers, and brokerages — it stores contacts, companies, properties, and deals with real-estate-specific fields like community association, lot number, and move-in timeline. monday CRM is a board-based Work OS where every CRM entity (People, Organizations, Deals) is an Item on a board, columns carry the field data, and pipelines are group-by views on Deal boards rather than separate objects. The migration translates BrightDoor's relational CRM model into monday CRM's board-and-column structure. Every BrightDoor contact becomes a Person Item, every company becomes an Organization Item, and every deal becomes a Deal Item with the pipeline stage expressed as a Status or Group column. BrightDoor's custom fields — price ranges, interest tags, purchase-timeframe flags — map to monday CRM's 40+ column types (Text, Number, Date, Dropdown, Link, etc.) using type-aware field mapping. Activity history (showing dates, notes, logged calls) migrates as monday Updates with original timestamps and owner attribution. BrightDoor's automation rules and drip sequences have no monday CRM equivalent and must be rebuilt using monday's native Automation and Integrations tools after migration. FlitStack AI sequences the load so Organization Items exist before Person Items reference them, validates the board schema before records land, and runs a delta-pickup window to capture in-flight changes during cutover.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a BrightDoor 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.
BrightDoor
Contact
monday CRM
Person (People board item)
1:1BrightDoor contacts map 1:1 to monday CRM People Items. The Person's Name, Email, Phone, and Address fields are standard monday CRM fields. Owner attribution transfers as the Item's Responsible Person. BrightDoor contact associations to multiple companies require manual assignment of the primary company in monday CRM.
BrightDoor
Company / Brokerage
monday CRM
Organization (Organizations board item)
1:1BrightDoor company records (brokerages, developer firms, builder brands) map to monday CRM Organizations. Organization name, domain/website, address, and industry fields map directly. Sub-companies and office locations in BrightDoor can be modelled as separate Organization Items or as Groups within one Organization board.
BrightDoor
Deal / Transaction
monday CRM
Deal Item on CRM board
1:1BrightDoor deals map to Deal Items on the monday CRM Deals board. The deal name becomes the Item title; amount, close date, and stage become columns. The pipeline view in monday CRM groups Items by Status column, which replicates BrightDoor's pipeline board visually.
BrightDoor
Pipeline Stage
monday CRM
Status column + Group
1:1BrightDoor's named pipeline stages (Prospecting, Contract Sent, Under Contract, Closed Won, etc.) translate to monday CRM Status column options. In monday CRM's pipeline view, each Status option becomes a column; groups are optional visual separators. Stage-entry timestamps can be stored in a custom Date column.
BrightDoor
Custom Property — Price Range
monday CRM
Number or Dropdown column
1:1BrightDoor's 'price ranges' custom field (e.g. $200K–$300K, $300K–$500K) maps to a monday CRM Dropdown or Number column. If the source uses free-text price ranges, a Dropdown column preserves the exact values. If numeric, a Number column enables filtering by price tier in monday dashboards.
BrightDoor
Custom Property — Community / Development
monday CRM
Text or Link column
1:1BrightDoor's community association field maps to a monday CRM Text column on Deal Items. If BrightDoor stores community as a separate related object rather than a flat field, FlitStack recreates it as a dedicated Community board with a Link column connecting to Deals, preserving the referential relationship in monday's board architecture.
BrightDoor
Custom Property — Purchase Timeline
monday CRM
Date or Timeline column
1:1BrightDoor's 'time frame to purchase' field maps to a monday CRM Date column for single target close dates, or a Timeline column when both start and end dates are present. The Timeline column provides visual representation of the purchase window and integrates with monday's calendar and deadline features.
BrightDoor
Custom Property — Interest Tags
monday CRM
Tags or Dropdown column
1:1BrightDoor's interest-tag custom fields covering lot preferences, amenity interests, and feature requests map to monday CRM's Tags column on Enterprise plans or a multi-select Dropdown column on lower tiers. These tags enable cross-entity filtering and segmentation for marketing campaigns and pipeline analysis.
BrightDoor
Activity Log (calls, emails, meetings, notes)
monday CRM
Updates + Activity column
1:1BrightDoor call logs, emails, and meeting notes attach to contact or deal records. In monday CRM these become Item Updates with the original timestamp and owner attributed. The Activity Log column on CRM boards surfaces recent changes to Items for audit trails.
BrightDoor
Owner / Agent
monday CRM
Responsible Person
1:1BrightDoor owner IDs are resolved to monday CRM users by matching email addresses from the user directory. Any owner without a corresponding monday user account is flagged and placed on a provisioning checklist for account creation before the migration run executes.
BrightDoor
Attachment / File
monday CRM
File column or Uploaded Files
1:1BrightDoor file attachments on contacts, companies, and deals are downloaded and re-uploaded to monday CRM's File column on the corresponding Items. File names and original upload dates are preserved where accessible. Storage limits vary by plan: 5GB Basic, 20GB Standard, 100GB Pro.
BrightDoor
Workflow Rules / Drip Sequences
monday CRM
No equivalent — rebuild required
1:1BrightDoor's automated follow-up sequences and deal-stage trigger rules have no native monday CRM equivalent. monday's Automation recipes handle board-state triggers (when Status changes, notify user) but cannot replicate time-delayed email drip sequences. FlitStack exports BrightDoor's workflow definitions as a reference document for your monday admin to rebuild.

Migration approach
Audit BrightDoor data model and export planning
FlitStack AI reads BrightDoor's API to enumerate all objects, custom fields, pipeline configurations, and activity records. We generate a Data Inventory Report listing record counts per object, custom field names and types, pipeline stage definitions, and owner distribution. This report drives the column-creation checklist for monday CRM and identifies any BrightDoor data that has no monday CRM equivalent (automations, drip sequences, integrations) for the rebuild-reference deliverable.
Pre-build monday CRM board schema
Before any records move, FlitStack AI delivers a monday CRM board architecture plan: People board, Organizations board, Deals board (or separate boards per pipeline), and required column types (Text, Number, Date, Dropdown, Timeline, Tags, Link, File). Your monday admin creates the columns per the plan. We validate column types and board structure before the migration run to prevent column-type rework after data lands.
Resolve owners and map custom field values
BrightDoor owner IDs are matched to monday CRM users by email address lookup against the monday workspace directory. Any owner without a corresponding monday user account is flagged on a provisioning checklist for account creation before migration runs. Custom field value sets such as price ranges, interest tags, and community names are mapped to monday Dropdown or Tags column options. All value-mapping tables are documented in a structured spreadsheet and require your approval before the migration run executes to ensure data fidelity.
Run sample migration with field-level diff
A representative sample set of records (typically 100–500 items covering contacts, companies, deals, and activities) migrates first against the live monday CRM environment. FlitStack AI generates a field-level diff report comparing each source record in BrightDoor against the resulting target Item in monday CRM, verifying column mappings, timestamp preservation, and owner resolution. You review the diff output and approve before the full migration run commits to production.
Full migration run with delta-pickup window
The full migration runs against monday CRM's API with throttling to respect plan limits. A delta-pickup window (typically 24–48 hours after the main run) captures any records created or modified in BrightDoor during the cutover period. FlitStack AI logs every operation to an audit trail. One-click rollback is available if reconciliation shows record count or field mismatch exceeds the agreed threshold.
