Overview
Moving from Creatio to Monday.com CRM is a data-model translation, not a straightforward record copy. Creatio stores customer data in an entity schema system where each object is a database table with typed columns and lookup relationships; Monday.com CRM uses a board-and-item architecture where entities live as rows in customizable board tables. We reverse-engineer each Creatio schema package during discovery, map the entity relationships to Monday.com CRM entities (Organizations, Contacts, Deals, and Activities), and resolve the attachment routing based on whether Creatio is configured for in-database or external S3/Azure Blob storage. Creatio BPM workflows, automation triggers, and per-plan feature gating do not migrate; we deliver a written inventory of every active workflow and automation trigger requiring rebuild in Monday.com Automations or the Automations Center. Monday.com CRM's simpler pricing model (per-seat across Basic through Enterprise tiers) contrasts with Creatio's tiered model (Standard flat-rate, Business per-seat, Scale per-seat), and we surface the cost delta during scoping so the customer's team can plan the subscription change alongside the data migration.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a Creatio 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.
Creatio
Account
monday CRM
Organization
1:1Creatio Account records map directly to Monday.com CRM Organizations. The Account Name, Industry, Website, Phone, and Address fields map to their Monday.com CRM Organization equivalents. We preserve any lookup relationships to Contacts as group or label associations within the Organization record. Monday.com CRM Organizations do not support the same lookup relationship model as Creatio's schema system, so multi-contact account relationships are represented as linked Items within the Organization board.
Creatio
Contact
monday CRM
Contact
1:1Creatio Contact records map to Monday.com CRM Contacts. The Contact Name, Email, Phone, Job Title, and Address fields migrate to typed columns on the Contacts board. Creatio lifecycle stage and owner assignment fields map to Monday.com CRM label or dropdown columns. We resolve Creatio's Contact-to-Account lookup at migration time and link each Contact Item to its parent Organization Item via the CRM Contacts integration or a manual linking column.
Creatio
Opportunity
monday CRM
Deal
1:1Creatio Opportunity records map to Monday.com CRM Deals. The Deal Name, Amount, Close Date, and Probability fields map to their Monday.com CRM Deal equivalents. Creatio's configurable pipelines per product line map to separate Monday.com CRM Deal boards or Deal groups within a single board. Stage names from Creatio translate to Monday.com CRM status column values on the Deals board.
Creatio
Case
monday CRM
Item (Service board)
1:1Creatio Case records map to Items on a dedicated Service board in Monday.com CRM. Case status, priority, and resolution SLA fields translate to status, priority, and date columns. The Contact and Account lookups from Creatio link to the corresponding Monday.com CRM Contact and Organization Items via link columns or the built-in CRM linking feature. Cases are the most structurally different mapping because Monday.com CRM does not have a native Case object equivalent; we configure a board to replicate the case lifecycle.
Creatio
Activity (Call, Email, Task)
monday CRM
Emails & Activities
1:manyCreatio's unified Activity schema (Call, Email, and Task types) splits into Monday.com CRM's distinct Email and Activity timeline entries. Call activities map to activity log entries with duration and disposition. Email activities map to the Emails & Activities section linked to the Contact or Organization. Task activities map to activity log entries. We preserve the original activity timestamp and owner assignment by setting the activity date and responsible team member columns at writeback.
Creatio
Lead
monday CRM
Contact (pre-conversion)
1:1Creatio Lead records that have not been converted map to Monday.com CRM Contacts with a Lead Status label column set to Open or Unqualified. Lead source and status fields from Creatio translate to label columns on the Contact Item. If the destination Monday.com CRM account uses a separate lead tracking approach (a dedicated board for pre-conversion leads), we configure that board during schema design and map Creatio Leads to it.
Creatio
Product
monday CRM
Item (Products board)
1:1Creatio Product records with price lists, bundle structures, and unit-of-measure fields map to Items on a Products board in Monday.com CRM. Product pricing migrates to number columns, and multi-currency pricing is handled by mapping the base currency value and creating separate price columns per currency or using Monday.com's currency column type if available. If the customer uses Deal Products (line items on Opportunities), we configure a link between the Products board and the Deals board.
Creatio
Custom Object
monday CRM
Board
1:1Creatio entity schemas built in the Object designer map to Monday.com CRM Boards. We reverse-engineer each exported package schema to extract the column definitions, field types, and lookup relationships, then configure equivalent boards and columns in Monday.com CRM before data import. Lookup relationships from Creatio custom objects to standard objects (Account, Contact) are represented as link columns to the corresponding Monday.com CRM boards. Custom object naming is preserved as the board name.
Creatio
File and Attachment
monday CRM
File (board item attachment)
1:1Creatio file attachments (stored in-database or in external S3/Azure Blob depending on the UseEntityFileApi setting) migrate as file attachments to the corresponding Monday.com CRM board Items. We detect the storage mode during discovery and route file extraction accordingly. Files linked to Contacts, Accounts, Cases, or Opportunities attach to the migrated Item. Files stored externally in S3 or Azure Blob are downloaded to local storage during extraction and re-uploaded as Monday.com CRM file attachments.

Pair-specific challenges
Migration approach
Discovery and Creatio schema export
We audit the source Creatio environment across plan tier (Standard, Business, or Scale), section counts, custom object schemas, active BPM workflows, pipeline definitions, and attachment storage mode (in-database or external S3/Azure Blob via the UseEntityFileApi setting). We request package export access and load each .gz schema package to build the complete column map including calculated fields, multicurrency fields, and lookup relationships. The discovery output is a written migration scope and a Monday.com CRM board structure design based on the extracted schemas.
Monday.com CRM board structure design
We design the destination structure in Monday.com CRM. This includes provisioning boards for Organizations, Contacts, Deals, a Service board for Cases, and one board per Creatio custom object. We configure typed columns (text, number, date, label, link, dropdown) matching each Creatio field type, and set up link columns for cross-board relationships (Contact-to-Organization, Deal-to-Contact, Case-to-Contact). The customer validates the board structure before any data migration begins.
Attachment storage detection and extraction
We detect the Creatio File API storage mode during environment discovery and route file extraction accordingly. For in-database storage, we extract files directly via Creatio's Entity class File API. For external S3 or Azure Blob storage, we use the appropriate SDK to download files, preserving original filenames and folder structure. All extracted files are staged locally before writeback to Monday.com CRM as board item attachments.
Sandbox migration and reconciliation
We run a full migration into a Monday.com CRM sandbox or parallel workspace using production-like data volume. The customer's RevOps lead reconciles record counts (Organizations in, Contacts in, Deals in, Cases in, Activities in), spot-checks 20-40 random Items against the Creatio source records, and signs off the board structure and mapping before production migration begins. Any column mapping corrections happen here, not in production.
Production migration in dependency order
We run production migration in record-dependency order: Organizations (from Creatio Accounts), Contacts (with Organization link resolved), Deals (with Contact link resolved), Service board Items (Cases with Contact and Organization links resolved), Activities (Emails, Calls, Tasks via Monday.com API with rate-limit-aware chunking), custom object Items (with cross-board lookups resolved), and Files (attached to the correct Items). Each phase emits a row-count reconciliation report before the next phase begins.
Cutover, validation, and automation rebuild handoff
We freeze Creatio writes during cutover, run a final delta migration of any records modified during the migration window, then enable Monday.com CRM as the system of record. We deliver the Creatio BPM workflow and automation inventory document to the customer's admin team. We support a one-week hypercare window where we resolve any reconciliation issues raised by the customer's team. We do not rebuild Creatio BPM workflows as Monday.com Automations inside the migration scope; that is a separate engagement or an internal admin task.
