Overview
Constructor CRM and Monday CRM take fundamentally different approaches to organizing sales data. Constructor uses the traditional CRM object model — Contacts, Companies, Deals, and Activities as discrete, related records. Monday CRM wraps all of these inside its board-based Work OS: each CRM entity becomes a board, each record becomes an Item, and every property becomes a Column. The migration therefore involves both a data translation and a structural conversion — flattening Constructor's relational model into Monday's board-item-column hierarchy. We extract all Constructor CRM records via the platform's export or API, then create Monday boards sized to match your Constructor entity counts. Custom fields in Constructor become Columns in Monday — text fields, number columns, date columns, people columns, and connect boards columns are all available natively. Constructor pipelines map to Groups within Monday deal boards, so stage names and probabilities translate into Monday Group names and custom probability columns. Activity history (calls, emails, meetings, notes) moves into Monday Updates or subitem Tasks, depending on the activity type. What does not migrate: Constructor automations, workflows, and rules must be rebuilt in Monday's automation infrastructure. Reports and dashboards cannot transfer — underlying data moves, but visualization logic is rebuilt. Integrations to third-party tools must be reconnected. We export your Constructor workflow definitions as a rebuild reference for your Monday admin before the data lands.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a Constructor 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.
Constructor
Contact
monday CRM
Board (Contacts) → Item
1:1Constructor Contact records become Items in a Monday CRM Contacts board. Every Contact property maps to a Column in Monday — name, email, phone, job title, and all custom properties each get their own column typed to match the data. Primary company link in Constructor maps to a Connect Boards column pointing to the Companies board in Monday.
Constructor
Company
monday CRM
Board (Companies) → Item
1:1Constructor Company records become Items in a Monday CRM Companies board. All standard company properties — name, domain, industry, employee count, annual revenue — map to Monday Columns typed accordingly. Constructor's parent-company relationship maps to a Connect Boards column linking to the same Companies board, enabling hierarchical company structures in Monday.
Constructor
Deal
monday CRM
Board (Deals / Pipeline) → Item + Group
1:1Constructor Deal records become Items in a Monday CRM Deals board. Constructor's pipeline stages map to Groups within the board — each Group label is the stage name from Constructor. Deal properties (value, close date, owner) map to typed Columns. Constructor's stage probability translates to a custom Number column since Monday Groups do not natively hold probability values.
Constructor
Pipeline Stage
monday CRM
Group (within Deals board)
1:1Constructor pipeline stages (e.g., Prospecting, Qualification, Proposal, Closed Won, Closed Lost) become Groups in Monday's Deals board. Each Group is created with the exact stage label from Constructor. Teams with multiple Constructor pipelines create one Monday board per pipeline to preserve separation, since Monday Groups are flat within a board.
Constructor
Custom Field (Contact-level)
monday CRM
Column (Contacts board)
1:1Constructor contact-level custom fields that have no Monday native equivalent (e.g., a text field storing a referral source code) are created as Monday Columns in the Contacts board. Monday column types used: Text, Number, Date, Dropdown, or Checkbox depending on the source field's data type. Columns are created per board — custom fields are not shared across boards without integration.
Constructor
Activity (Call / Email / Meeting)
monday CRM
Update (on Item) or Subitem Task
1:1Constructor activity records (calls, emails, meetings) migrate as Updates on the related Item in Monday. The Update body contains the activity type, timestamp, owner name, and a summary of the activity. Meetings with a duration are stored as Subitem Tasks in Monday with the meeting details in the subtask name and the time range in date columns.
Constructor
Note
monday CRM
Update (on Item)
1:1Constructor notes attached to any record become Updates in Monday on the corresponding Item. The note body migrates as plain text in the Update. Rich-text formatting is simplified since Monday Updates do not preserve full HTML formatting from Constructor note bodies.
Constructor
Attachment / File
monday CRM
File (on Item)
1:1Files attached to Constructor records are downloaded and re-uploaded to the corresponding Item in Monday as File columns. Monday enforces a 250MB per-file limit. Files exceeding this limit are flagged for manual re-upload to Monday or an external storage link recorded in an Item Update.
Constructor
Owner / User
monday CRM
Person Column (per board)
1:1Constructor owner assignments on records map to Monday Person columns. Users are matched by email — if a Monday workspace already has the user, the Person column links to the existing user. If no match exists, the owner name is stored as a text column and flagged for Monday workspace user provisioning before go-live.
Constructor
Custom Object
monday CRM
Board (Custom Object) → Item
1:1Constructor custom objects that are not standard Contact, Company, or Deal entities become dedicated Boards in Monday CRM. Each custom object's fields map to Columns in the new board, with field types matched as closely as Monday's column types allow. Custom object relationships (e.g., linking a custom Project object to Contacts) require Connect Boards columns.
Constructor
Workflow / Automation
monday CRM
Not migratable
1:1Constructor automations, workflow rules, and trigger-based actions do not have a direct equivalent in Monday CRM. They must be rebuilt using Monday's automation recipes. We export your Constructor automation definitions — trigger conditions, actions, and field-update rules — as a structured reference document to hand to your Monday admin for rebuild after data migration.
Constructor
Report / Dashboard
monday CRM
Not migratable
1:1Constructor reports and dashboards cannot be transferred because they reference Constructor's internal report engine. The underlying data (contacts, deals, activities) migrates to Monday boards, and Monday's dashboard builder recreates visualizations from board Items. We document each Constructor report's structure so your team can rebuild equivalent views in Monday.
Constructor
Tag / Label
monday CRM
Tag Column or Label Column (per board)
1:1Constructor tags on records migrate as Monday Tag Columns on the relevant board. Monday's Tag Column type supports multiple tags per Item, matching Constructor's tag model. Tags are transferred as plain text values; tag color metadata from Constructor is not preserved in Monday.

Migration approach
Audit Constructor CRM data model and export preparation
We extract a full data export from Constructor CRM covering all Contacts, Companies, Deals, Activities, Notes, Attachments, Tags, and custom object records. We run a data-quality scan to identify duplicate records, missing required fields, orphaned activities (activities linked to deleted records), and any records with fields that will not map directly to Monday column types. You receive a data-quality report before migration begins, and we apply a de-duplication rule (e.g., merge exact-email duplicates) based on your specification.
Provision Monday CRM boards and columns
Before data moves, we create the Monday boards (Contacts, Companies, Deals — one per Constructor pipeline, and any custom object boards) and define all Columns in each board. Column types are matched to Constructor field types: text fields become Text columns, pick-list values become Dropdown columns, date fields become Date columns, and owner assignments become Person columns. Constructor custom fields that have no Monday equivalent are flagged for your admin to approve the column type before migration. This step produces a Monday schema plan that we share for sign-off.
Run sample migration with field-level validation
A representative slice of 100–300 records migrates first — spanning contacts, companies, deals across all pipeline stages, and a sample of activities. We generate a field-level diff comparing source Constructor values against Monday values post-import so you can verify column mapping accuracy, Group placement for deal stages, Person column resolution for owners, and Connect Boards column links between contacts and companies. You sign off on the sample before the full migration proceeds. Any column mis-mappings discovered in the sample are corrected in the mapping plan before the full run.
Execute full migration with scoped Constructor read access and delta pickup
The full migration runs against Monday CRM using Constructor's scoped read access — your team continues working in Constructor during the migration with no disruption. Files and attachments are downloaded from Constructor and re-uploaded to Monday Items. After the initial load completes, a delta-pickup window (typically 24–48 hours) captures any records created or modified in Constructor during the cutover window. Monday automations are disabled during the load to prevent unintended triggers on bulk imports. An audit log records every operation, and one-click rollback is available if reconciliation identifies missing or incorrectly mapped records.
Deliver Constructor automation export and Monday rebuild reference
Alongside the migration completion report, we deliver a structured export of all Constructor automation definitions — trigger types, conditions, field-update actions, and notification rules — formatted as a Monday automation rebuild guide. This document maps each Constructor rule to the equivalent Monday recipe configuration so your Monday admin can reconstruct your sales process logic. We also deliver a report mapping each Constructor report and dashboard to the Monday boards and columns that contain the underlying data, with recommendations for equivalent dashboard widgets in Monday's dashboard builder.
