Overview
Checkbox is a no-code service automation and intake platform designed for legal and operational teams to capture requests, run surveys, and automate workflows. It stores respondents, survey responses, form submissions, and user assignments but does not maintain a native CRM object model with separate contacts, companies, and deals. Monday CRM, built on the Monday.com Work OS, structures all data as boards with items (deals) and people (contacts), using customizable column types for every field. FlitStack AI maps Checkbox respondent records into Monday CRM People entities, with each survey response or intake form becoming a Deal item on a CRM board. Checkbox workflows and automation rules do not migrate—they require manual rebuild in Monday's Automation Center using Monday's trigger-action format. Checkbox file attachments and documents re-upload into Monday's file storage. We use Checkbox's REST API for data extraction and Monday's API (with rate-limit management per plan tier) for ingestion. The migration runs in three phases: extract and normalize Checkbox data, build the Monday CRM board schema with matching column types, then load records with a delta-pickup window capturing any final submissions during cutover. Audit logs and one-click rollback are provided for reconciliation.
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 Checkbox 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.
Checkbox
Respondent / Contact
monday CRM
Person (People entity)
1:1Checkbox respondent records map directly to Monday CRM People. Each respondent's name, email, and contact properties become Monday Person fields. Email addresses are used for duplicate detection and owner matching in Monday. The mapping also preserves any custom contact attributes stored in Checkbox, mapping them to corresponding custom Person columns in Monday. Tags or group memberships are transferred to Monday’s People tags, ensuring continuity of segmentation.
Checkbox
Survey Response / Form Submission
monday CRM
Deal Item (on CRM Board)
1:1Each Checkbox survey response becomes a Monday CRM Deal item. The survey questions map to column values on the board. The response submission date becomes the Deal creation timestamp. Multiple surveys from the same respondent link to the same Person record.
Checkbox
Form / Intake Survey
monday CRM
CRM Board (or Group within Board)
1:1Each Checkbox form or intake survey translates to a Monday CRM board (or a named group within a unified board). Board structure mirrors the survey's section hierarchy. Status columns in Monday replicate the survey's progress or stage fields. Custom columns also inherit field types such as date, number, and dropdown to capture all answer formats. The resulting board layout is designed for immediate use by sales and ops teams.
Checkbox
Checkbox Workflow / Automation Rule
monday CRM
Monday Automation
1:1Checkbox workflow rules do not migrate. FlitStack exports the rule definitions (triggers, conditions, actions) as a JSON reference document. Monday's Automation Center must be rebuilt manually using Monday's trigger-action builder, or with assistance from a Monday implementation consultant. Teams should review the exported JSON to capture any conditional branches and ensure all integrations are reconnected after the automation is rebuilt.
Checkbox
Checkbox User / Team Member
monday CRM
Monday CRM User
1:1Checkbox users map to Monday CRM users by email match. Each user is assigned as a board member or Deal owner. If Checkbox user emails do not have Monday accounts, they are flagged for account creation before migration. During the mapping, user roles and permissions are also transferred to maintain the same access levels in Monday.
Checkbox
Checkbox File Attachment
monday CRM
Monday File (attached to Item)
1:1Files uploaded to Checkbox survey responses are downloaded and re-uploaded as Monday file attachments on the corresponding Deal item. File size limits follow Monday's per-file upload limits. Large files may require chunked upload handling. We also preserve original file metadata such as upload timestamps and the uploader's email for audit purposes.
Checkbox
Checkbox Form Field (custom property)
monday CRM
Monday Board Column
1:1Checkbox custom fields on survey responses translate to Monday board columns. Field type matching: text fields to Text columns, date fields to Date columns, dropdown fields to Dropdown columns. Some Checkbox field types may require a general-purpose Text column in Monday with the raw value stored.
Checkbox
Checkbox Team / Group
monday CRM
Monday Workspace
1:1Checkbox teams and user groups map to Monday Workspaces, providing organizational separation for CRM boards and related project boards. Workspace permissions control who can access the migrated CRM data. Each workspace can be further subdivided using Monday's board groups, allowing granular control over which teams view or edit specific deals and contacts.
Checkbox
Checkbox Timestamp (submitted_at)
monday CRM
Monday Date Column or Created At
1:1Survey submission timestamps migrate to Monday as a Date column value on the Deal item. Original submission datetime is preserved for reporting continuity. Monday's internal Created At timestamp is also recorded separately for audit purposes. The date mapping respects Monday's timezone settings to ensure consistent scheduling across the CRM.
Checkbox
Checkbox Status / Completion Flag
monday CRM
Monday Status Column
1:1Checkbox response completion status (e.g., 'Submitted', 'In Review', 'Completed') maps to Monday's Status column with value-by-value mapping. Status color coding is preserved to maintain visual signal continuity in the board view. If the Checkbox status includes custom labels, FlitStack creates matching Status options in Monday, ensuring no loss of granularity.
Checkbox
Checkbox Integration Connections
monday CRM
Monday Integrations (native or third-party)
1:1Checkbox integrations (Slack, Salesforce, Ironclad, etc.) are third-party connections that must be rebuilt in Monday's integration ecosystem. FlitStack provides a list of active integrations from Checkbox's connected apps for manual reconfiguration in Monday. Teams should map each integration's trigger events to Monday Automations or use Zapier/Make connectors to replicate the workflow in Monday's environment.

Migration approach
Extract Checkbox data via API and flat-file export
FlitStack connects to Checkbox using your API credentials and exports all respondent records, survey response data, form field definitions, and user accounts. Where the API is rate-limited or does not cover certain entities, we supplement with Checkbox's built-in CSV export from the Responses tab. All exported data is normalized into a staging schema that mirrors Monday CRM's object model before any transformation occurs. This phase also captures Checkbox workflow definitions as a JSON export for the rebuild reference package.
Build Monday CRM board structure and column schema
Before loading data, FlitStack creates the Monday CRM boards, Status columns, and custom column types that match the Checkbox form structure. We apply Monday's column type conventions (Text, Numbers, Date, Status, Dropdown) based on Checkbox field types. If your migration spans multiple Checkbox forms, we consolidate them into one or more Monday CRM boards with named groups per form. This schema plan is delivered for your review before records are written.
Resolve owner and user mappings by email
Checkbox user emails are matched against existing Monday CRM users. Unmatched users are flagged for account creation before migration. Each Deal item is assigned to a Monday user as the primary owner. If a Checkbox response has no assigned user, the record lands under a designated fallback owner or remains unassigned based on your specification. This step ensures no Monday record is orphaned during the load phase.
Run sample migration with field-level diff
A representative sample (typically 100–500 records) is migrated first to a Monday CRM staging environment. FlitStack generates a field-level diff comparing source values to destination column values for every mapped field. You review the diff to confirm column type mapping, Status value display, Person-Organization linkage, and file attachment re-upload. Any schema adjustments are made before the full migration proceeds. This step prevents a full run with incorrect column assignments.
Execute full migration with delta-pickup window
The full migration loads all Checkbox respondents, survey responses, and files into Monday CRM. A delta-pickup window of 24–48 hours captures any new Checkbox submissions or user assignments made during the cutover period. After the delta window closes, FlitStack performs a final reconciliation count against Checkbox totals. An audit log is delivered with every record's source ID, destination ID, and migration timestamp. One-click rollback is available if the reconciliation identifies critical gaps.
