Overview
Contlo organizes its data around customer Profiles and behavioral Segments for campaign targeting, while Monday.com CRM uses a sales-centric model with Contacts, Accounts, Deals, and Activities organized on customizable boards. These different organizational philosophies mean a migration is not a straightforward field-to-field import: we extract Contlo Contact records and their associated segment tags, campaign enrollment history, and engagement timestamps, then map them into Monday.com CRM's Contact and Account structure. The Contlo Brand AI Model cannot be exported and requires manual re-creation in Monday.com if needed. Contlo Automations and Voice Agents are non-portable; we deliver a written inventory of every active workflow and agent configuration for the customer's admin to rebuild in Monday.com's automation builder.
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 Contlo 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.
Contlo
Contact
monday CRM
Contact
1:1Contlo Contact records map to Monday.com CRM Contacts. Standard properties (email, name, phone, address) migrate directly. We preserve Contlo custom properties as Monday.com custom columns on the Contact board, using the Monday.com column type that best matches the source data type (text, number, date, dropdown). Contact owner resolves by email match against Monday.com Users.
Contlo
Segment
monday CRM
Tag
lossyContlo Segments are behavioral groupings used to target automations. We preserve segment membership as Tags on the corresponding Monday.com CRM Contact. Each Contlo segment name becomes a Tag label; contacts enrolled in multiple segments receive multiple tags. Segment rules (AND/OR logic, filter conditions) do not map automatically and are documented as a rebuild requirement in Monday.com's segmentation approach.
Contlo
Campaign (Email/SMS)
monday CRM
Campaign
1:1Contlo campaign metadata and message templates migrate to Monday.com CRM Campaign records. Campaign name, status, scheduled send date, and targeting segment tag migrate. Message template body copies to the Campaign description field. Delivery logs, open rates, and click rates migrate as a separate analytics dataset linked to the Campaign record.
Contlo
Automation
monday CRM
Automation (board-scoped)
1:1Contlo automations are event-triggered workflow sequences. We extract each automation's trigger type, conditions, delay steps, and action steps as structured data. Monday.com's automation builder uses board-scoped triggers and actions that do not have a direct import path from Contlo's model. We deliver a written automation inventory document listing every active Contlo automation with its equivalent Monday.com trigger-action pattern, and the customer's admin rebuilds them in Monday.com's automation builder.
Contlo
Engagement: Email
monday CRM
Activity (Email)
1:1Contlo email engagement records (opens, clicks, replies) migrate to Monday.com CRM Activity entries linked to the Contact. Email body content and timestamp preserve. The Monday.com CRM Activity board must have an Email column type configured before import to accept this data.
Contlo
Engagement: Call
monday CRM
Activity (Call)
1:1Contlo call engagement records (duration, disposition, recording link if available) migrate to Monday.com CRM Activity entries with the Call column type. Call outcome and duration fields map from Contlo's call metadata. We flag any call recordings as non-migratable unless the recordings are stored in an external system with a shareable URL.
Contlo
Engagement: Meeting
monday CRM
Activity (Meeting)
1:1Contlo meeting records migrate to Monday.com CRM Activity entries with the Date column type capturing the scheduled time. Meeting title, location, and attendee list migrate. Attendee links resolve to Monday.com Contacts by email match.
Contlo
Engagement: Task
monday CRM
Activity (Task)
1:1Contlo task engagements (follow-up reminders, internal to-dos) migrate to Monday.com CRM Activity entries. Task subject, due date, status, and assigned owner resolve by email match against Monday.com Users. Completed status from Contlo maps directly to Done in Monday.com.
Contlo
Custom Property
monday CRM
Custom Column
lossyContlo custom fields on Contacts and Segments migrate to Monday.com CRM custom columns on the appropriate board. We match the Contlo field type (text, number, date, dropdown, checkbox) to the nearest Monday.com column type. Fields with no direct equivalent store as Text column content with a prefix tag indicating the original field name.

Pair-specific challenges
Migration approach
Discovery and scope definition
We audit the source Contlo account for contact volume, segment count, active automations, campaign history, custom properties, and engagement event history. We confirm the intended Monday.com CRM plan tier based on team size and required features (automations require Standard or above). The discovery output is a written scope document listing every object to migrate, the transformation logic for each, and the explicit non-migratable items requiring manual rebuild.
Monday.com board and column schema design
We design the Monday.com CRM board structure before any data moves. This includes configuring the Contacts board with standard columns, adding custom columns mapped from Contlo custom properties, designing the Activities board for email, call, meeting, and task engagement history, and creating Tags mapped from Contlo segment names. The schema deploys into a Monday.com test workspace first for validation.
Data extraction and deduplication
We export Contlo Contact records, segment memberships, campaign enrollment data, and engagement history. We run a deduplication pass on contacts using email as the primary key, resolving duplicates based on most recent activity date. Custom property data formats are standardized before transformation.
Contact migration with segment tagging
We migrate Contlo Contacts into Monday.com CRM Contacts in batches. Each contact receives all applicable segment tags from Contlo, preserving the behavioral grouping logic as tag labels. Owner assignment resolves by email match against Monday.com Users; any unresolved owners go to a reconciliation queue for the customer's admin to provision.
Activity history and campaign data migration
We migrate email, call, meeting, and task engagement records as Monday.com CRM Activities linked to the corresponding Contacts. Campaign metadata and template content migrate to Monday.com CRM Campaign records. Analytics event data (opens, clicks, conversions) exports as a structured CSV and imports as a linked dataset on the Campaign board.
Cutover, validation, and automation handoff
We run a final delta migration of any records modified during the migration window, then hand off Monday.com as the system of record. We deliver the automation inventory document to the customer's admin team with Monday.com equivalent trigger-action recommendations. We do not rebuild Contlo automations inside the migration scope; that is a separate rebuild engagement or internal admin task.
