Overview
Case Status is a client relationship management and legal analytics platform designed specifically for law firms, centering on client engagement, case status tracking, and automated communication updates. Monday CRM is monday.com's CRM module built on top of a flexible Work OS — it organizes data in boards with items and columns rather than traditional CRM objects. The fundamental architectural difference is that Case Status uses a case-centric data model while Monday CRM uses a board-item-column structure where you design your own entities. We map Case Status clients to Monday CRM contacts, cases to items on a dedicated Legal Cases board, communications to item updates, and documents to file attachments. Because Monday CRM lacks native case status stages, we create a Status column with your existing stage names and preserve stage-transition timestamps as custom date columns. Custom automations, client satisfaction logic, and any law-firm-specific fields must be rebuilt using Monday's automation recipes or external tools — we document every automation from Case Status so your admin can recreate them. The migration runs via Monday's REST API with attention to rate limits (1,000 calls/day on Standard, 10,000 on Pro) and the 25MB file attachment ceiling.
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 Case Status 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.
Case Status
Client
monday CRM
People (Contacts)
1:1Case Status clients map directly to Monday CRM contacts using email as the unique identifier. We resolve by email match against Monday CRM users and flag any clients whose email does not correspond to a monday user for manual assignment. Original create timestamps are preserved as a custom column.
Case Status
Case
monday CRM
Item (Legal Cases Board)
1:1Case Status cases become items on a dedicated Legal Cases board in Monday CRM. Each case item links to the responsible attorney contact via Monday's Person column. Case status stages from Case Status translate to a Status column with pick-list values matching your existing stages.
Case Status
Case Status Stage
monday CRM
Status Column
1:1Stage names (Intake, Active, Pending, Closed, etc.) map value-by-value to Monday CRM Status column pick-list options. Stage-entered timestamps preserve as custom Date columns (e.g., Active_Date__c) for reporting continuity on milestone achievement. Each mapped stage also retains its historical entry timestamp, enabling time‑based trend analysis across the board.
Case Status
Communication
monday CRM
Item Updates
1:1Case Status client communications (messages sent to or received from the client) migrate as Monday CRM item Updates on the corresponding case item. Original timestamps, sender, and message body are preserved. Two-way message threads display chronologically within the item for convenient reference.
Case Status
Document
monday CRM
File Attachment
1:1Documents attached to a Case Status case re-upload to the corresponding Monday CRM item as file attachments. Files under 25MB migrate directly. Files exceeding Monday's limit are flagged for manual upload with the file name and original location preserved in a custom text column.
Case Status
Attorney / Team Member
monday CRM
Monday User
1:1Case Status team members (attorneys, paralegals, admins) resolve by email match against Monday CRM users. Unmatched users are flagged before migration — firms either invite them to monday first or assign their cases to a fallback user. Owner history is preserved as a text column.
Case Status
Client Feedback / NPS
monday CRM
Custom Column + External Tool Required
1:1Case Status NPS scores and client feedback responses have no native Monday CRM equivalent. We preserve feedback text and scores in custom columns on the client contact and recommend rebuilding satisfaction surveys using a third-party tool integrated via monday's integration platform.
Case Status
Custom Case Field
monday CRM
Custom Column
1:1Any Case Status custom fields on cases (e.g., Court Location, Opposing Counsel, Statute of Limitations) create corresponding custom columns in Monday CRM. Column types are matched by data type — dates become Date columns, numbers become Numbers columns, and text becomes Text columns.
Case Status
Automated Client Update Rule
monday CRM
Automation Recipe (Manual Rebuild)
1:1Case Status automated client update triggers (e.g., 'send update when case moves to Active') have no Monday CRM equivalent that migrates automatically. We export the automation definitions as a configuration document so your monday admin can rebuild them as Automation Recipes in Monday.
Case Status
Billing / Invoice Record
monday CRM
Custom Column + External Tool
1:1Case Status billing records (if used) do not map to a Monday CRM object. Invoice amounts, payment status, and outstanding balances migrate as custom columns on the case item. For full billing functionality, firms should use Monday's Invoices feature or a dedicated legal billing tool.

Case Status gotchas
No publicly documented public API for self-service exports
Portal data is partially decoupled from source case management
Add-on pricing model obscures true cost for migration assistance
Custom properties are stored as JSON key-value pairs with limited schema visibility
Client app notifications and push token state does not transfer
monday CRM gotchas
Subitems are not included in bulk exports
Daily API call limits vary sharply by plan
Legacy automations (Sentence Builder) are being deprecated
Excel and account exports only include table views
Enterprise admins can disable non-admin exports
Pair-specific challenges
Migration approach
Extract Case Status data via API and export all standard objects
We connect to Case Status using your API credentials and extract all clients, cases, communications, documents, team members, and custom fields. The extraction runs in read-only mode — your team continues working in Case Status throughout. We capture object IDs, create timestamps, last-modified timestamps, and all relational links between clients and cases. For attachments, we download files to a staging environment, verify integrity against Case Status metadata, and flag any files exceeding Monday's 25MB limit for manual handling.
Design Monday CRM board structure and map columns
We create the Legal Cases board in Monday CRM with columns mapped to your Case Status schema. Status column pick-list values are configured to match your existing case stages. Person columns link to attorney contacts. Custom columns are created for any Case Status fields that don't have a direct Monday equivalent. We map client contacts to Monday People, resolve attorney assignments by email match, and build the group structure (by practice area, status, or attorney) that matches your current Case Status organization.
Migrate clients, cases, communications, and documents with field-level validation
We run a test migration with a representative sample (typically 50–100 records) and generate a field-level diff showing exactly what mapped, what transformed, and what required a custom column approach. You review the sample in Monday CRM before we commit to the full run. For the full migration, we load clients first (they're the parent of cases), then cases with their status and attorney assignments, then communications as item updates, and finally documents as file attachments. Each batch is validated against source record counts before proceeding.
Deliver automation rebuild documentation and run delta pickup
We export every Case Status automation rule (update triggers, client notification rules, stage-change actions) as a configuration document readable by your monday admin or a monday partner. The document maps each Case Status trigger to a recommended Monday Automation Recipe with step-by-step setup instructions. After the full migration, a delta pickup window captures any records created or modified in Case Status during the cutover — typically a 24–48 hour window with final sync before you switch your team to Monday CRM full-time.
Validate, audit, and provide rollback capability
After migration, we run a reconciliation audit comparing source record counts, field values, and document attachment presence against Monday CRM. We provide an audit log of every operation performed. If reconciliation reveals gaps, we offer one-click rollback to the pre-migration state and re-run with corrected mappings. Your team then begins using Monday CRM with full confidence that all clients, cases, communications, and documents have been transferred accurately.
