Overview
cMercury is an email service provider with subscriber management, campaign tracking, and marketing automation; Monday.com CRM is a work-management and pipeline tool with a Contacts layer. These are different platform types, which limits what maps directly. We migrate cMercury Subscribers as Monday.com People records with all custom profile fields preserved, Tags as Monday.com Labels, Engagement Scores as numeric custom columns, and Email Verification badges as status columns. cMercury Segments become Monday.com filtered Views with documented filter logic. cMercury Campaigns and Automations cannot migrate as functional equivalents because Monday.com has no native email sending or campaign-automation engine; we deliver a written campaign inventory and automation tree for the customer's admin to evaluate against Monday.com Automations on Pro and above. Asset Library images download and re-upload to Monday.com Files with folder structure preserved where supported. Sending domains require fresh DNS configuration at the destination, not transfer, and we provide the DNS checklist at cutover.
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 cMercury 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.
cMercury
Subscriber
monday CRM
People (Contact)
1:1cMercury Subscriber records map to Monday.com People as individual contacts. Email address, subscription status, and all custom profile fields migrate as typed Monday.com columns. The cMercury subscription status (active, unsubscribed, bounced) becomes a status column in Monday.com People. Any cMercury custom field (text, number, date, dropdown) maps to the equivalent Monday.com column type. We resolve duplicates using email as the dedupe key and flag conflicts for the customer's admin to resolve before final import.
cMercury
Tag
monday CRM
Label (People)
1:1cMercury Tags are flat labels applied to Subscribers. We export all tag names and their per-subscriber assignments and recreate them as Monday.com Labels on the People entity. Labels in Monday.com appear as colored tags on contact records and can be used to filter People Views. Tag count and naming are preserved verbatim.
cMercury
Segment
monday CRM
Filtered View (People Board)
lossycMercury Segments are defined by filter rules on engagement, custom field values, and source. We extract the full segment rule tree and translate it into a Monday.com People filtered View with equivalent conditions. Complex nested conditions (AND/OR logic with multiple levels) may require simplification or multiple Views; we document these as part of the handoff and flag any segment that cannot map directly to Monday.com's filter UI.
cMercury
Campaign
monday CRM
Item (Campaign Board) or Activity Note
1:manycMercury Campaign records include subject, content, send date, and aggregate performance stats (opens, clicks, bounces). Monday.com has no native campaign object, so we create a Campaign Board with Items representing each cMercury campaign, with performance stats stored as custom columns. Campaign content (HTML body) migrates as a text column or attachment. Because Monday.com cannot send email natively, campaign-level metrics serve as historical reference rather than active campaign tracking.
cMercury
Custom Field
monday CRM
Column (People or Board)
1:1cMercury custom fields on Subscribers (text, number, date, dropdown, checkbox) map directly to Monday.com column types: Text to Text, numbers to Numbers, dates to Date, dropdowns to Dropdown or Labels, and checkboxes to Checkbox. Data type fidelity is preserved. If the destination Monday.com workspace uses a separate People board for contacts, custom fields that apply to all contacts go on the People board; fields specific to a campaign context go on the Campaign board.
cMercury
Engagement Score
monday CRM
Numbers Column (People)
1:1cMercury tracks a per-subscriber engagement score (numeric value). We export the score value and map it to a Numbers column on the Monday.com People entity. The column is labeled Engagement Score in the destination. If the score is derived from multiple factors, we store it as a read-only reference value; recalculation logic does not migrate because Monday.com does not have an equivalent scoring formula engine.
cMercury
Email Verification Result
monday CRM
Status Column or Label (People)
1:1cMercury Verify stores per-email validation status (valid, invalid, risky, catch-all). We preserve this as a status column on the Monday.com People record, with the badge value as the status label. This allows the customer's team to see verification quality at a glance in Monday.com without needing to re-verify in the new system. Invalid addresses are flagged in the import report for the admin to review.
cMercury
Template
monday CRM
Attachment or Document (File)
1:1cMercury email templates use a proprietary block structure. We extract the HTML from each template and save it as an HTML file attached to a Monday.com Board or Item. Template layout may not render identically in Monday.com because Monday.com does not have an email template editor. We note which templates should be rebuilt in the customer's chosen email marketing platform post-migration.
cMercury
Asset Library
monday CRM
Files (Board or Workspace)
1:1Images and files stored in cMercury's Asset Library are downloaded with their original file names and uploaded to Monday.com Files attached to the relevant Board. Folder organization is preserved where the destination supports folder structure. Large asset libraries may require bulk upload via Monday.com's file upload API with chunking for files over 5 MB.
cMercury
Automation (workflow)
monday CRM
Not migratable
lossycMercury Automations are trigger-action sequences tied to subscriber behavior (subscribe, open, click, tag applied). Monday.com Automations are board-level triggers for task status changes, notifications, and column updates. These are fundamentally different automation models with no meaningful translation. We document every cMercury Automation's trigger conditions, conditions, and action sequence in a written inventory for the customer's admin to evaluate rebuilding in Monday.com Automations (Pro plan required). Expect 1-2 hours of rebuild time per automation.
cMercury
Sending Domain
monday CRM
Not migratable
lossycMercury sending domains are configured with DKIM, SPF, and DMARC records tied to cMercury's mail infrastructure. These cannot be transferred to Monday.com because Monday.com does not have a native email sending layer. We provide a DNS checklist during cutover specifying which records to remove from cMercury and which records to add for the customer's new email sending platform (Mailchimp, Klaviyo, or equivalent). Deliverability history does not transfer.

Migration approach
Discovery and scope definition
We audit cMercury across subscriber count, tag list, segment rule complexity, campaign volume, custom field schema, automation tree, asset library size, and engagement score availability. We confirm the destination Monday.com plan tier (Basic, Standard, Pro, Enterprise) based on required column types, Automations usage, and Chart View needs. The discovery output is a written scope document specifying what migrates, what documents, and what requires a separate email platform post-migration.
Schema design in Monday.com
We design the Monday.com workspace structure: a People board for contacts, a Campaign board for historical campaign data, and column types matched to cMercury custom fields. We map cMercury segments to Monday.com filtered Views on the People board and confirm whether complex nested segment logic requires simplification. We validate column type availability in the destination plan tier before finalizing the schema. The schema is built in a Monday.com sandbox or test workspace before production migration begins.
Data extraction and transformation from cMercury
We extract Subscribers with all custom fields, tags, segment membership, engagement scores, and verification results from cMercury via its export API. We transform the data into Monday.com-compatible CSV format with column-type mapping applied. Tags are extracted as label lists per subscriber. Segments are extracted as rule definitions for documentation. Assets are downloaded with original filenames and folder structure preserved. All exports run against a point-in-time snapshot to avoid partial-record reads during active sends.
Monday.com data import and reconciliation
We import Subscribers as People records into Monday.com using the People API, with email as the dedupe key. Custom fields map to the correct column types during import. Tags populate as Labels on each People record. Engagement scores populate as Numbers columns. Verification results populate as status columns. After each import batch, we run a reconciliation report comparing record counts and field fill rates against the cMercury export baseline. Discrepancies are investigated and corrected before the next phase begins.
Asset library migration
We upload downloaded Asset Library files to the Monday.com workspace, attaching them to the relevant Board or Item. Large files (over 5 MB) are chunked and uploaded via the Monday.com API with retry on failure. Folder structure is recreated where the destination supports it. Template HTML files are uploaded as attachments to the Campaign board with a naming convention matching the original cMercury template names.
Cutover, validation, and handoff
We freeze writes in cMercury during the cutover window, run a final delta export of any records modified during the migration, and apply the delta to Monday.com. We deliver the automation inventory document, the segment rule documentation, the campaign performance summary board, and the DNS checklist for sending domain cutover. We do not rebuild cMercury Automations in Monday.com; the inventory is a documented deliverable for the customer's admin to action. We provide a one-week hypercare window for reconciliation issues raised after go-live.
