Overview
Moving from Clarify CRM to Monday.com CRM is a migration between two fundamentally different architectures. Clarify uses an AI-autonomous model with credit-based billing where its agents self-populate deal fields and conversation context; Monday.com uses a board-based Work OS with GraphQL API where CRM entities live as Items on Boards with custom Columns. We handle the structural translation: Clarify's autonomous field updates and AI summaries land as Monday column values and note attachments, pipeline stages become Board Groups, and all custom fields translate to Monday Column types with type verification before import. Clarify's 15 requests-per-second API rate limit requires batch chunking during export. Monday.com's three-seat minimum and automation quotas per plan tier are factored into the destination pricing estimate. Workflows and automation rules do not migrate; we deliver a written inventory for the customer's admin to rebuild inside Monday's Automation Manager.
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 Clarify CRM 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.
Clarify CRM
Contact
monday CRM
Contact (on CRM Board)
1:1Clarify Contact records with name, email, phone, and company linkage map directly to Monday.com Contact items on the CRM Contact Board. The contact's primary company link resolves to a Monday Account item, and custom fields on the Clarify Contact map to Monday Column types. We validate field type compatibility before mapping: text fields map to Text Columns, dates to Date Columns, numbers to Numbers Columns, and multi-select values to Dropdown or Tags Columns. Clarify's AI-enriched contact properties (autonomously populated company details) migrate as standard column values, flagged for the customer's review in case AI-generated data requires verification.
Clarify CRM
Company
monday CRM
Account (on CRM Board)
1:1Clarify Company records with domain-based enrichment map to Monday.com Account items on the CRM Account Board. The company domain becomes the Account's website column value. We resolve the company-contact linkage by matching Contact items' Account column to the corresponding Account item, using domain as the dedupe key. Clarify AI-populated company fields migrate as Monday Column values; any fields that exist in Clarify but have no Monday Column equivalent are held in a gap list for the customer to define before final import.
Clarify CRM
Deal
monday CRM
Opportunity Item (on CRM Board)
1:1Clarify Deal records map to Monday.com Opportunity Items on the CRM Opportunities Board. The deal value, close date, and stage map to Monday Column values: monetary amounts to Numbers Columns with currency formatting, dates to Date Columns, and stage names to Status Column values within Board Groups. Clarify's autonomous agent updates to deal fields migrate as static column values; we do not recreate the autonomous agent logic in Monday because Monday's Automation Manager operates on different trigger-action semantics.
Clarify CRM
Pipeline Stages
monday CRM
Board Groups + Status Column
lossyClarify's named pipeline stages map to Monday Board Groups on the Opportunities Board, with each Group representing a pipeline stage. Within each Group, the Status Column reflects the deal's current sub-state. We preserve the full stage sequence and any custom stage names as Group labels, creating equivalent Groups in Monday's board structure. Stage order and probability metadata (if tracked in Clarify) migrate to Number Columns on each deal item for reporting purposes.
Clarify CRM
Activity: Call
monday CRM
Activity Item or Note on linked Item
1:1Clarify call records with duration, disposition, and timestamp map to Monday Activity Items attached to the relevant Contact or Opportunity Item, or as Note attachments on the parent Item. Call metadata (duration in seconds, disposition notes) migrates as Text Column values on the activity item. The original call timestamp is preserved in a Date Column for timeline ordering.
Clarify CRM
Activity: Email
monday CRM
Email & Activities feature or Note attachment
1:1Clarify email engagement records migrate to Monday's native Email & Activities feature (available on Standard and above) attached to the relevant Contact or Opportunity Item. For accounts on Basic, emails migrate as Note items or Text Column entries with sender, recipient, subject, and body preserved. Email thread continuity requires the customer to configure email sync integrations post-migration.
Clarify CRM
Activity: Meeting
monday CRM
Activity Item or Calendar integration entry
1:1Clarify meeting records with attendee list, location, and duration map to Monday Activity Items linked to the relevant Contact or Opportunity. Meeting metadata (attendees, start time, location) migrates to Text or Date Columns. If the customer uses Monday's native Calendar integration post-migration, meetings can be reconnected as calendar events; historical meeting records are preserved as Items or Notes for reference.
Clarify CRM
Activity: Note
monday CRM
Note or File attachment on Item
1:1Clarify standalone notes and AI-generated meeting summaries migrate as Note items or File attachments on the related Contact, Account, or Opportunity Item in Monday. The note content, author, and creation timestamp are preserved. Because Clarify stores AI summaries as linked note content rather than structured records, we convert the summary text to a Note body attached to the parent Item and flag it for completeness review.
Clarify CRM
Custom Fields (standard objects)
monday CRM
Custom Columns on relevant Board
lossyClarify custom fields on Contacts, Companies, and Deals translate to Monday Custom Columns on the corresponding CRM board. We validate column type compatibility during scoping: multi-select values map to Dropdown Columns, currency amounts to Numbers Columns with currency formatting, and dates to Date Columns. Any Clarify field types without a Monday Column equivalent are flagged as gaps and mapped to Text Columns as a fallback, pending customer confirmation of intended behavior.
Clarify CRM
Tag
monday CRM
Tags Column
1:1Clarify tag-based labeling on records maps to Monday's Tags Column on the relevant board Items. Tag assignments on Contacts, Accounts, and Deals preserve as Tags Column values, enabling filtering and segmentation in Monday's board views. Tags used across multiple object types migrate independently on each object board.

Pair-specific challenges
Migration approach
Discovery and API credential setup
We audit Clarify CRM across credit usage, record counts (Contacts, Companies, Deals, activity history), custom field definitions, pipeline stage names, and any tags in use. We verify API credentials and test the Clarify REST API export endpoint, measuring actual response times against the 15 req/s rate limit to calibrate batch sizing. We also configure the Monday.com GraphQL API credentials, fetch the existing CRM board schema to capture column IDs and board structure, and identify any custom columns that already exist in the destination account.
Data audit and deduplication pass
We export all records from Clarify and run a data-quality pass: duplicate detection on Contact and Company by email and domain, validation of required fields against Monday's column schema, and flagging of any records with AI-enriched fields that may contain incorrect data. We present the customer with a deduplication decision report showing duplicate candidates and recommending keep/merge actions before any records are written to Monday.
Schema translation and board configuration
We design the Monday board structure based on the Clarify data model. This includes creating Board Groups for pipeline stages, defining Status and Dropdown Columns for deal and contact fields, configuring Number Columns for monetary values, and mapping custom Clarify fields to equivalent Monday Column types. Schema is configured in a staging Monday account first for validation before production migration begins.
Account and Contact import with linkage resolution
We import Companies to the Monday Account Board first, using domain as the dedupe key. Contacts import second, with the Account column resolved to the corresponding Monday Account item by domain match. This ordering ensures the Account-Contact lookup is satisfied at insert time. Tag assignments migrate as Tags Column values. Each phase emits a row-count reconciliation report before the next phase begins.
Deal and Pipeline import
We import Deals to the Monday Opportunities Board, mapping pipeline stages to Board Groups and deal properties to Column values. Clarify's autonomous field updates migrate as static column values; any AI-generated field data is flagged for review. Deal-to-Contact and Deal-to-Account linkages resolve via email match and domain lookup respectively. Pipeline stage order and probability metadata migrate to Number Columns for dashboard use.
Activity history and AI-summary migration
We migrate call, email, meeting, and note records as Activity Items or Note attachments linked to the relevant Contact, Account, or Opportunity Item. AI-generated meeting summaries from Clarify convert to Note body text attached to the parent Item and are flagged for completeness review. We batch activity imports in chunks to stay within Monday's API rate limits and use exponential backoff on throttling responses.
Cutover, validation, and automation inventory handoff
We freeze Clarify writes during cutover, run a final delta migration of any records modified during the migration window, then enable Monday.com as the system of record. We deliver the Automation Inventory document listing every Clarify autonomous action observed in the source data with a recommended Monday Automation Manager equivalent. We do not rebuild automations inside the migration scope; that work is handled by the customer's admin post-migration.
