Overview
ConvertKit organizes subscriber data around email-centric properties: email address, name, custom fields (up to 140), tags, and subscription state. Monday CRM uses a board-based structure where Items represent contacts, Deals, or any entity, and Columns define every field on that item. There is no native email marketing, sequence, or broadcast construct in Monday CRM — those are platform-level gaps that require either complementary tooling or business-process redesign. FlitStack AI maps ConvertKit Subscribers to Monday CRM People Board items, preserving email, name, phone, and custom field values as custom columns. Tags migrate as Labels-column values on each item so segmentation data survives. We cannot migrate ConvertKit forms (those must be rebuilt using Monday forms or a third-party tool), sequences (those require Monday automations rebuild), or broadcasts (those have no Monday equivalent). All four data types are documented in the migration plan for your team to address post-migration. Migration runs via ConvertKit API v3 for subscriber export and Monday API for item creation, respecting Monday's daily rate limits per plan tier (200 for Free, 1,000 for Basic/Standard, 10,000 for Pro). A delta-pickup window captures any subscriber changes that occur during the cutover window so Monday reflects ConvertKit's final state at go-live.
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 Convertkit 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.
Convertkit
Subscriber
monday CRM
People Board Item
1:1ConvertKit Subscribers become Monday CRM People Board items. The email address is the unique identifier that FlitStack AI uses for de-duplication. Each subscriber maps to one item; duplicate emails are flagged for resolution before insertion and cross-referenced against existing Monday items to ensure data integrity and avoid overwriting existing records.
Convertkit
Custom Field
monday CRM
Custom Column (Board)
1:1ConvertKit custom fields (up to 140) translate to Monday CRM custom columns on the target board. FlitStack AI maps ConvertKit field types (text, number, date, checkbox) to Monday column types. Dependent custom fields in ConvertKit map as Monday's dependency-enabled columns if the target board supports them.
Convertkit
Tag
monday CRM
Labels Column
1:1ConvertKit tags are free-form string labels stored per subscriber. We map these to Monday's Labels column (multi-select), preserving all tag values so filtering by tag in Monday mirrors ConvertKit segment behavior. Tags with special meaning (e.g., 'VIP', 'EU-subscriber') get documented in the migration plan.
Convertkit
Form
monday CRM
No Equivalent
1:1ConvertKit forms are native lead-capture tools with field configuration, styling, and embed codes. Monday CRM has its own form product but form-to-subscriber association cannot be auto-migrated. We document the forms inventory and recommend rebuilding using Monday native forms or embedding Monday's form widget.
Convertkit
Sequence
monday CRM
No Equivalent (Automations Rebuild Required)
1:1ConvertKit email sequences (time-delayed, trigger-based nurture flows) have no Monday CRM equivalent. Monday's recipe-based automations handle workflow logic differently — event-based rather than email-centric. We export sequence definitions as a rebuild reference document for your Monday admin, including step order, delay intervals, trigger conditions, and associated email subject lines, to guide reconstruction in Monday's automation builder.
Convertkit
Broadcast
monday CRM
No Equivalent
1:1ConvertKit broadcasts (one-time email campaigns) have no Monday CRM counterpart. Historical broadcast open rates, click rates, and send dates are not transferable. We recommend exporting broadcast history as a CSV report for record-keeping separate from Monday CRM, including subject lines, send timestamps, audience size, and performance metrics, to preserve historical campaign data for future analysis and compliance audits.
Convertkit
Subscription State
monday CRM
Custom Column (GDPR_Status)
1:1ConvertKit stores unsubscribed, bounces, and complaint states per subscriber. Monday CRM has no native compliance fields. We preserve subscription state as a custom Status or Labels column (e.g., 'Active', 'Unsubscribed', 'Bounced') for reporting and audit continuity, allowing your team to filter, segment, and trigger automations based on subscription status while maintaining an auditable record of contact preferences over time.
Convertkit
Creator Profile
monday CRM
No Equivalent
1:1ConvertKit's Creator Profile pages, recommendation links, and storefront content are not data records and have no Monday CRM equivalent. These require manual rebuild as Monday pages, websites, or external tools if needed at the destination, including the design layout, embedded media, and linked product listings, ensuring that creator branding and sales funnels are replicated as closely as possible within Monday's platform.
Convertkit
Product (Digital)
monday CRM
No Equivalent
1:1ConvertKit digital products and purchase history are creator-commerce data with no Monday CRM equivalent. Purchase records can be exported as a CSV for reference but cannot be structured as Monday items without significant custom board design. We document the products list for manual setup.
Convertkit
Email Engagement Event
monday CRM
No Equivalent
1:1ConvertKit tracks email opens, clicks, and unsubscribes as engagement events. Monday CRM has no native email engagement tracking. We recommend pairing Monday CRM with an email tool (e.g., Mailchimp, Klaviyo) post-migration for continued email analytics — engagement history remains in ConvertKit for historical reporting.

Migration approach
Audit ConvertKit data via API v3
FlitStack AI connects to ConvertKit using API v3 credentials to enumerate all subscribers, custom fields, tags, forms, sequences, and purchase records. We extract subscriber payloads in paginated batches, preserving original timestamps, subscription state, GDPR consent flags, and source attribution. Tags are collected as a global set for Monday Labels column setup. Custom fields are catalogued with their types for Monday column type mapping. The audit output is a data quality report flagging duplicate emails, missing required fields, and records with bounce or complaint states that may need pre-migration cleanup.
Design Monday CRM board structure
Based on the ConvertKit audit, FlitStack AI delivers a Monday board design plan: which board will hold contacts (People Board or a custom board), what custom columns are needed, what Labels options correspond to ConvertKit tags, and what compliance columns (GDPR consent, unsubscribe date) are required. This plan is reviewed by your Monday admin before migration begins so column types and board permissions are configured correctly.
Resolve API rate limits and batch the migration
FlitStack AI configures the migration job to respect Monday's daily API rate limits for your plan tier. For Standard plan accounts (1,000 calls/day), we batch writes to complete the migration over 2–5 days. For Pro and Enterprise accounts, batching is minimal. Unsubscribed and bounced subscribers are written with their compliance status preserved — Monday's board receives the final subscription state, not just active subscribers. ConvertKit API calls are unlimited for read operations, so the source-side extraction is not rate-constrained.
Run sample migration with field-level diff
A representative sample (typically 100–500 subscribers spanning active, unsubscribed, and bounced states with a mix of custom field types) migrates first. FlitStack AI generates a field-level diff comparing source values against Monday item values, verifying that custom field types matched correctly, tag values mapped to Labels, and original create dates populated the custom Date column. Your team reviews the diff and approves before the full run commits.
Execute full migration with delta-pickup window
The full subscriber list migrates to Monday CRM using the validated mapping from the sample run. A delta-pickup window (24–48 hours) runs concurrently with your team's final ConvertKit usage period, capturing any new subscribers, tag changes, or unsubscribes that occur during cutover. All changes are applied to Monday CRM before go-live. FlitStack AI generates a reconciliation report comparing total subscriber count and tag distribution between ConvertKit and Monday, with a mismatch alert if records are orphaned.
Deliver automation rebuild reference and post-migration documentation
FlitStack AI exports ConvertKit sequence definitions (trigger conditions, step order, delays, and email content summaries) as a JSON and PDF reference document for your Monday admin to use when rebuilding automations. Broadcast history is exported as a CSV. Form inventory with field configurations is documented for Monday form rebuilds. The migration package includes a field-mapping matrix, a Monday board setup checklist, and a gap analysis naming every ConvertKit feature that has no Monday equivalent — so your team knows exactly what requires manual rebuild before going live.
