Overview
Moving from ClientTether.com to Monday.com CRM is a franchise-to-horizontal CRM migration. ClientTether's franchise-first data model structures accounts under multi-brand hierarchies (brand accounts, franchise owner entities, FBC management) with built-in SMS, call, and email automation native to the record. Monday.com CRM uses a board-based Work OS where Contacts, Companies, and Deals live as Items on Boards with column-based fields and automation recipes. We export the full ClientTether hierarchy as a parent-child relationship, remap it to Monday.com Boards with Group-level groupings, and import Deals with status columns that mirror ClientTether pipeline stages. Email sequences, SMS threads, call logs, and task history migrate as Activity Items on the relevant Contact or Deal record. ClientTether automations (workflows, triggers, multi-step sequences) are not exposed via a public API; we deliver a written inventory for manual rebuild in Monday.com's automation builder.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a ClientTether.com 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.
ClientTether.com
Contact
monday CRM
People (Contacts)
1:1ClientTether Contact records (name, phone, email, company association, communication history, tags) map directly to Monday.com People. We export all standard contact fields and associated tags. The tag assignments migrate as Monday.com Tags applied to the People record. Communication history (SMS threads, email logs, call metadata) is exported and recreated as separate Activity Items on the Contact's record using a dedicated Activities board linked by email or name lookup.
ClientTether.com
Lead
monday CRM
People (Leads)
1:1ClientTether Leads generated through web forms, IVR, or CSV import map to Monday.com People with a Lead status column. Lead source attribution and originating campaign ID migrate as custom columns on the People Item. We preserve the lead-to-Account or lead-to-Contact linkage by matching against the Account or Contact lookup at migration time.
ClientTether.com
Account
monday CRM
Board + Groups
1:manyClientTether Accounts with nested franchise hierarchy (brand account, franchise owner account, FBC structure) map to Monday.com Boards with Groups representing each hierarchy level. The top-level brand account becomes the Board name, franchise owner accounts become Groups within that Board, and FBC records become Items under the appropriate Group. We export the full parent-child relationship as a custom column hierarchy__c (text path) and a parent_id__c lookup field, flattening it to Group membership in Monday.com. Any depth exceeding Monday.com's grouping limits is flagged during discovery.
ClientTether.com
Pipeline
monday CRM
Board with Status Column
lossyClientTether Pipelines (stages with customizable names and ordering) map to Monday.com Boards with a Status column. Each ClientTether pipeline stage becomes a Status group in Monday.com, preserving stage names, positions, and ordering. If the customer has multiple pipelines, we create separate Boards or separate Views within a single Board, depending on Monday.com's per-account plan limits.
ClientTether.com
Deal
monday CRM
Item on Deal Board
1:1ClientTether Deals map to Monday.com Items on the Deals Board, with the ClientTether deal stage mapped to the Monday.com Status column value. We preserve deal name, amount, close date, owner assignment, and linked Account (mapped to the Board Group), along with any custom deal fields as Monday.com columns. Closed-won and closed-lost values from ClientTether custom fields migrate to custom Status column values.
ClientTether.com
Proposal
monday CRM
Item (separate Proposals Board)
1:1ClientTether Proposals with template-based content, pricing, start/end dates, and optional Work Order linkage migrate to Items on a separate Proposals Board. We export proposal body text as a long-text column and line items as sub-items or a linked Deals Item. Rich template formatting and embedded media do not survive export intact and are flagged for manual review. The link to the associated Work Order is preserved as a cross-board mirror column or URL column pointing to the Work Order Item.
ClientTether.com
Work Order
monday CRM
Item (Work Orders Board)
1:1ClientTether Work Order records migrate to Items on a Work Orders Board with linked proposal dates, status, and assigned franchise owner (mapped to a People assignee column). Monday.com does not have a native Work Order object; we create a dedicated board with columns for all operational fields. The link back to the originating Proposal migrates as a cross-item or URL column.
ClientTether.com
Tag
monday CRM
Tags
1:1ClientTether Tags used for segmentation and automation trigger conditions migrate to Monday.com Tags applied to Items. We export all tag assignments per Contact, Lead, Account, and Workflow record. Tags used as automation triggers are preserved in the automation inventory document with their trigger-action logic so the customer's admin can recreate them as Monday.com automation conditions.
ClientTether.com
Email Sequence
monday CRM
Activity Items (manual schedule)
1:1ClientTether Email Sequences (time-triggered drip campaigns attached to Leads or Contacts) are exported as Activity Items containing sequence step content, timing delays, and enrollment status. Monday.com CRM does not have a native email sequence or cadence engine; we deliver the sequence content as a written document the customer's admin schedules manually in Monday.com's Connected Email or through a third-party sales engagement tool. We do not migrate the automated sending logic.
ClientTether.com
Call Log
monday CRM
Activity Items
1:1ClientTether inbound and outbound call records (duration, direction, linked Contact, disposition, missed-call follow-up tasks) migrate as Activity Items on a Communications Board linked to the Contact record by email or name. We preserve call duration, date, direction, and disposition as custom columns on the Activity Item. Recording URLs are stored as URL columns where available.
ClientTether.com
Custom Field
monday CRM
Column
lossyClientTether custom fields on Contacts, Leads, Accounts, Deals, Proposals, and Work Orders are enumerated during discovery and mapped to Monday.com columns with the closest equivalent type (text, number, date, dropdown). Picklist options in ClientTether map to Monday.com Status or Dropdown column values. We flag any custom fields without a direct Monday.com equivalent for the customer's admin to review before import.
ClientTether.com
User / Team Member
monday CRM
Team Member
1:1ClientTether user records (name, role, assignment of Leads and Tasks) map to Monday.com Team Members. We export the user roster and reassign open tasks to the migrated team member in Monday.com. Owner assignments on Deals, Leads, and Contacts resolve via email match against the Monday.com team member list. Users without a Monday.com match enter a reconciliation queue for the customer's admin to provision before import resumes.

Migration approach
Discovery and data audit
We audit ClientTether across all active objects: Contacts, Leads, Accounts (with full franchise hierarchy), Pipelines, Deals, Proposals, Work Orders, Tags, User rosters, and engagement history (call logs, email sequences, SMS threads). We enumerate custom fields with their types and picklist values. We document active automations and workflows during this phase. We also assess the target Monday.com account: current plan tier, existing Boards, connected integrations, and team size. The discovery output is a written migration scope with record counts, a custom field inventory, an automation inventory, and a Monday.com plan recommendation if the customer does not already have CRM access.
Hierarchy flattening and schema design
We design the Monday.com destination structure: a Deals Board with Status column groups mirroring the ClientTether pipeline stages, a People section for Contacts and Leads, a Proposals Board, a Work Orders Board, and an Activities Board for communication history. For the ClientTether franchise hierarchy, we map the multi-level brand-account-franchise owner-FBC structure to Board + Group + Item, with a custom text column (hierarchy_path__c) and Group-level assignments preserving the parent-child relationship. We design all custom columns to match the ClientTether custom field inventory, flagging any field without a direct Monday.com equivalent for the customer's admin to review.
Data extraction and deduplication
We export all ClientTether records via the platform's available export capabilities (CSV export or API endpoints). ClientTether's public API documentation is minimal and bulk export capabilities are not clearly published; we work within documented limits and use batch extraction with retry logic. During extraction we identify duplicate Contacts (same email), duplicate Accounts (same name or domain), and inconsistent data formats. Deduplication decisions are escalated to the customer's admin for resolution before import into Monday.com.
Staging migration and reconciliation
We run a full migration into a staging Monday.com workspace before touching production data. The customer's team reviews the imported Boards, Items, People records, and custom column values against the ClientTether source. We validate hierarchy mapping (Group membership matches the intended franchise structure), deal stage assignments, tag preservation, and owner assignments. Any mapping corrections are applied in staging before the production migration begins. This step typically requires 5-10 business days of customer review time.
Production migration in dependency order
We run production migration in record-dependency order: People records first (Contacts and Leads), then Accounts and hierarchy Groups, then Deals Items with Status column mapping, then Proposals and Work Orders as separate Boards, then communication history (Activity Items linked to the relevant Person or Deal). Tags are applied in a final pass. Owner assignments resolve by email match against the Monday.com team member list; unresolved owners enter a reconciliation queue for the customer's admin to provision before record import resumes. Each phase emits a row-count reconciliation report.
Cutover, final validation, and automation handoff
We freeze writes in ClientTether during the cutover window, run a delta migration of any records modified during the migration window, and then enable Monday.com as the system of record. We deliver the Automation Inventory document listing every active ClientTether workflow and email sequence with trigger logic, conditions, actions, and recommended Monday.com automation recipe equivalent. We support a one-week hypercare window for reconciliation issues. We do not rebuild ClientTether automations as Monday.com automation recipes within the migration scope; that work is documented for the customer's admin to complete.
