Overview

What this migration involves

ClickDimensions is not a standalone CRM — it is a marketing automation extension layer for Microsoft Dynamics 365. The actual contact, account, lead, and deal records live in the Dynamics 365 instance beneath it. We migrate base CRM records from Dynamics 365 using its API, then layer ClickDimensions-specific entities (email send history, event registrations, web tracking events, and survey responses) on top of the Monday.com CRM records they annotate. Monday.com CRM uses a board-and-item structure rather than traditional CRM tables, so each entity type (People, Companies, Deals) becomes a board with typed columns rather than a standard object. We resolve ClickDimensions custom field data against Monday.com column types, preserve the relationship between marketing activity and the CRM contact it references, and flag the automations, workflows, and integration configurations that require manual rebuild in Monday.com after migration. We do not migrate ClickDimensions workflows, email sequences, or event management automations as code; we deliver a written inventory for the customer's admin to reference during rebuild.

Why teams make this switch

Two sides of the same decision

Leaving

Click

What's pushing teams away

  • ClickDimensions is limited to the Microsoft Dynamics 365 ecosystem, making it difficult to switch to non-Microsoft CRMs without losing marketing activity history.
  • The platform's interface and feature set lag behind standalone marketing automation tools, prompting teams to move to HubSpot or Marketo.
  • Support responsiveness and product update cadence have been cited as pain points by mid-market customers.
  • Custom field usage on the free plan is capped at 60 uses, which frustrates teams that need broader automation without upgrading.

What's pulling them in

  • Users praise the board-based visual interface for making pipeline stages immediately legible to non-technical team members without CRM training.
  • The no-code automation builder lets sales ops teams create lead routing, stage updates, and email triggers without developer involvement.
  • Integration ecosystem connects to Slack, Gmail, Outlook, and Zapier with minimal configuration, reducing friction for teams already using these tools.
  • The flexible column system lets teams build custom CRM views — deal value, close date, lead source — without needing a developer or pre-defined schema.
  • Teams already using monday Work Management can layer CRM features onto existing boards rather than starting from scratch.

Object mapping

How Click objects map to monday CRM

Each row shows how a Click 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.

Click

Contact

maps to

monday CRM

People (board items)

1:1
Fully supported

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Contacts migrate to Monday.com CRM People board items. We pull contact records from the Dynamics instance using its Web API, map Full Name (firstname + lastname), Email, Phone, Job Title, and Address fields to Monday.com People columns. Dynamics contact custom fields migrate to Monday.com custom columns of the equivalent type (text, number, date, dropdown). The primary Account reference on Contact maps to a Monday.com People-Company link column resolved at import time.

Click

Account

maps to

monday CRM

Companies (board items)

1:1
Fully supported

Dynamics 365 Accounts migrate to Monday.com CRM Companies board items. We extract Account records from Dynamics, map Name, Website, Industry, Number of Employees, and Address fields to Monday.com Company columns. Account custom fields from Dynamics become Monday.com Company board columns. Companies import before People so that the link column reference on People items resolves correctly.

Click

Lead

maps to

monday CRM

Leads (board items)

1:1
Fully supported

Dynamics 365 Leads migrate to Monday.com CRM Leads board items. Lead Status, Lead Source, and any scoring custom fields from Dynamics map to Monday.com Lead columns (status, dropdown, number). Dynamics lead-to-contact conversion history is preserved as a text note on the migrated Lead item. ClickDimensions lead-scoring annotations attached to Dynamics Leads migrate as custom columns.

Click

Opportunity

maps to

monday CRM

Deals (board items)

1:1
Fully supported

Dynamics 365 Opportunities migrate to Monday.com CRM Deals board items. Opportunity Name, Amount, Close Date, and Stage map to Monday.com Deal name, numeric column, date column, and status column respectively. The Dynamics Opportunity-Account relationship maps to a Monday.com Deals-Company link column. Multiple Dynamics pipelines map to separate Monday.com Deal boards or to status groups within a single Deal board depending on the customer's preference.

Click

Email Send (ClickDimensions)

maps to

monday CRM

People activity notes / linked items

lossy
Fully supported

ClickDimensions email send records attached to Dynamics Contacts migrate as activity notes on the corresponding Monday.com People item. The email send date, campaign name, subject, and delivery status are captured as a formatted text entry on the People item's activity log. Individual open and click engagement events are optionally mapped to separate status columns on the People item or left as aggregated campaign-level summary records if per-event granularity is not required by the customer.

Click

Event Registration (ClickDimensions)

maps to

monday CRM

People linked items / activity entries

1:many
Fully supported

ClickDimensions event registrations linked to Dynamics Contacts map to Monday.com People items as linked sub-items or activity entries capturing event name, registration date, session choices, and registration status. Custom registration fields from ClickDimensions become sub-item columns or text entries in Monday.com. If the customer uses Monday.com's Integrations with event platforms (Luma, Eventbrite), we document the integration setup for post-migration configuration.

Click

Web Tracking Event (ClickDimensions)

maps to

monday CRM

People custom columns / activity log

lossy
Fully supported

ClickDimensions web tracking events for known contacts (identified by email) attach as behavioral data to the corresponding Monday.com People item. Known-contact event data such as page views, form submissions, and engagement scores migrate as custom number or status columns on the People item. Anonymous visitor tracking data from ClickDimensions is optionally migrated as aggregate website engagement scores or excluded based on the customer's data-cleanliness preference during scoping.

Click

Survey Response (ClickDimensions)

maps to

monday CRM

People linked items / custom board

lossy
Fully supported

ClickDimensions survey responses linked to Dynamics Contacts migrate as linked items on the Monday.com People record or as items in a dedicated Survey Responses board with a link back to the respondent. Survey question text and answer values map to Monday.com sub-item columns or text columns. If survey responses contain structured answer data (multi-choice, rating scale), we map these to Monday.com dropdown or number columns respectively. The customer chooses between per-contact linked items or a centralized survey board during scoping.

Click

Task (Dynamics CRM activity)

maps to

monday CRM

Tasks (board items or activity log)

1:1
Fully supported

Dynamics 365 Tasks linked to Contacts, Accounts, or Leads migrate as activity entries on the corresponding Monday.com People or Companies item. Task Subject, Description, Status, Priority, and Due Date are captured as formatted text in the activity log or as columns on a Monday.com Tasks board linked to the CRM records. Task assignments (Dynamics Owner) map to Monday.com person column assignments if using a linked Tasks board.

Click

Note (Dynamics CRM)

maps to

monday CRM

Updates / activity log

1:1
Fully supported

Dynamics 365 Notes attached to Contacts, Accounts, Leads, or Opportunities migrate to Monday.com Updates on the corresponding People, Company, Lead, or Deal item. Note body migrates as rich text. If the Dynamics Note has a Regarding relationship to an Opportunity or Account, the Update is posted on the equivalent Monday.com item with a reference to the related record.

Pair-specific challenges

  • ClickDimensions does not own the CRM records

    ClickDimensions is an add-on layer for Microsoft Dynamics 365 — it does not store Contacts, Accounts, Leads, or Opportunities independently. All base CRM records live in the underlying Dynamics instance. We confirm the source Dynamics environment during scoping, authenticate against the Dynamics Web API, and extract base CRM records from there. Targeting only ClickDimensions export tools during migration results in empty Contact and Account records at the destination. This is the highest-severity issue for any ClickDimensions migration and must be resolved before any data moves.

  • Monday.com CRM uses boards and columns, not standard CRM objects

    Monday.com CRM is not a traditional relational CRM with fixed object tables. Contacts become People board items, Accounts become Companies board items, and Deals become Deal board items, each with customizable columns. Dynamics field types (picklist, boolean, currency, lookup) must be mapped to Monday.com column types (status, checkbox, number, link, dropdown). We pre-create the Monday.com board schema before migration and validate column types during sandbox testing. Migrations that skip schema design result in mis-typed columns and data that cannot be filtered or reported on correctly.

  • ClickDimensions marketing entities have no direct Monday.com CRM equivalent

    ClickDimensions email send history, event registrations, web tracking events, and survey responses are marketing activity records without a native Monday.com CRM object. We map these as activity notes, linked sub-items, or custom columns on People items, but this is a structural translation, not a 1:1 object match. The customer should expect that campaign-level analytics (open rates, click rates, event attendance rates) require rebuilding in Monday.com's reporting layer or connecting a dedicated BI tool post-migration.

  • Monday.com CSV import drops comments, sub-items, and update threads

    Monday.com's CSV import supports items and column values but does not preserve comment threads, sub-item hierarchies, or update history on imported records. We use the Monday.com API for records that require activity log preservation (contact notes, task history, event registration details) rather than relying solely on CSV import. For bulk record creation where activity history is not critical, we use CSV for speed and API for accuracy on high-value records.

  • Monday.com automation rebuild is scoped outside the migration

    Monday.com CRM automations (trigger-action rules scoped to board and column changes) and ClickDimensions workflows are both workspace-scoped automation systems but with different trigger models. We do not rebuild ClickDimensions workflows as Monday.com automations inside the migration scope. We deliver a written inventory of every active ClickDimensions workflow with its trigger conditions, actions, and recommended Monday.com automation equivalent for the customer's admin to rebuild post-migration. This inventory is part of the standard migration deliverables.

Migration approach

Six steps for a successful Click to monday CRM data migration

  1. Discovery and Dynamics environment verification

    We audit the source Microsoft Dynamics 365 environment via its Web API: record counts for Contact, Account, Lead, Opportunity, and Task entities; custom field schemas; active ClickDimensions entities (Email Sends, Event Registrations, Web Tracking, Survey Responses); and any plan-tier constraints on the ClickDimensions side. We confirm that the migration source is the Dynamics instance, not ClickDimensions export tools alone. The discovery output is a written migration scope, a record-count baseline for post-migration verification, and a ClickDimensions workflow inventory.

  2. Monday.com CRM schema design

    We design the destination Monday.com CRM boards and columns before any data moves. The People board schema maps Dynamics Contact fields to Monday.com column types (text, email, phone, date, number, status). The Companies board schema maps Dynamics Account fields. The Deals board schema maps Dynamics Opportunity fields to Deal name, amount, close date, and stage status. We configure the People-Company link column and Deals-People or Deals-Company link column for relationship integrity. ClickDimensions custom field schemas map to Monday.com custom columns with equivalent types.

  3. Sandbox migration and mapping validation

    We run a full migration into a Monday.com test workspace using production-like data volume. The customer reconciles record counts against the Dynamics source, spot-checks 20-40 records for field accuracy, and reviews the ClickDimensions marketing activity entries on People items. Schema corrections, column type changes, and mapping adjustments happen in the test workspace before production migration begins. This step is essential for board-and-column-based CRMs where schema errors propagate to every item.

  4. Owner reconciliation and team provisioning

    We extract every distinct Dynamics Owner (user) referenced on CRM records and match by email against the Monday.com destination workspace members. Owners without a matching Monday.com account enter a reconciliation queue for the customer's admin to provision. Once all owners are mapped, we run the People import so that assignee columns on Deals and linked items resolve correctly.

  5. Production migration in dependency order

    We run production migration in record-dependency order: Companies (first, as People links to them), People (with Account link resolved), Leads, Deals (with Person and Company links resolved), then ClickDimensions marketing activity records (Email Sends, Event Registrations, Web Tracking, Survey Responses) mapped as activity entries or linked sub-items on People items. Each phase emits a row-count reconciliation report before the next phase begins. We use the Monday.com API for records with activity log content and CSV for bulk item creation where activity history is not required.

  6. Cutover, validation, and workflow handoff

    We freeze Dynamics writes during the cutover window, run a final delta migration of any records modified since the last sync, then enable Monday.com CRM as the system of record. We deliver the ClickDimensions workflow inventory document to the customer's admin team for Monday.com automation rebuild. We support a three-day hypercare window where we resolve any data reconciliation issues. Post-migration admin support, team training, and automation rebuild are outside the standard migration scope and can be scoped as a separate engagement.

Strengths

  • Board-based UI makes pipeline stages and deal progress visually obvious without training.
  • No-code automation builder requires no developer resources to create lead routing and stage-triggered actions.
  • Flexible column system supports custom CRM fields without schema changes or admin involvement.
  • Integrates natively with Slack, Gmail, Outlook, and Zapier with minimal configuration overhead.
  • Layered product means teams already on monday Work Management can add CRM without migrating existing data.

Weaknesses

  • No native Contacts object separate from Items — contacts are managed inside a CRM module's People feature.
  • Pipeline and deal relationships use a flat item model rather than a relational object model, making complex CRM associations awkward.
  • Automations are plan-gated (250 actions/month on Standard, 25,000 on Pro) and the legacy Recipe system is being deprecated.
  • Customization and advanced views (Chart, Formula, Dependency) are locked behind Pro and Enterprise tiers.
  • Per-seat pricing with non-refundable annual billing creates cost lock-in risk during migration.

Most migrations land between three and five weeks for accounts under 15,000 Contacts, 3,000 Deals, and standard ClickDimensions marketing activity records. Migrations with large ClickDimensions marketing histories (over 200,000 email send records, event registrations with extensive custom fields, or survey response data with structured answers) move to seven to twelve weeks because of the ClickDimensions entity mapping complexity and the Monday.com board schema design work required before data can be imported.
