Overview
Moving from CRUMP CRM to Monday.com CRM is a schema transformation as much as a data move. CRUMP CRM runs on Microsoft Dynamics 365, which exposes structured relational entities (Contact, Account, Opportunity, Case) with foreign-key lookups and a defined ownership model. Monday.com uses a flexible board-and-item architecture where any record type is a board and any row is an item, with relationship links handled via Connect boards or link-to-content columns rather than database foreign keys. We bridge that architectural gap by enumerating every active Dynamics 365 entity in the source org, mapping each to a dedicated monday.com board, and resolving parent-child relationships (Account to Contact, Opportunity to Account) through monday.com link columns or subitems at migration time. We do not migrate CRUMP CRM Workflows, Invoicing automations, or Project Management tasks as code; we deliver a written inventory of these for the customer's admin to rebuild in Monday.com's native automation builder. Parallel-run costs during migration are factored in so the budget reflects the full two to four week cutover window.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a CRUMP CRM 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.
CRUMP CRM
Contact
monday CRM
Contact Board (Items)
1:1CRUMP CRM Contacts from Dynamics 365 export as items on a monday.com Contact board. Each item carries typed columns for name, email address, phone number, company association (via link column to the Account item), owner assignment (via People column), and lifecycle stage. We use the Dynamics 365 contact fullname field to populate the item title and the emailaddress1 field for email column typing. If the source org uses Dynamics 365 duplicate detection rules, we apply the same matching logic during monday.com item creation to avoid duplicate contacts.
CRUMP CRM
Account
monday CRM
Account Board (Items)
1:1CRUMP CRM Accounts map to items on a monday.com Account board. Account is created before Contact import so that the relationship link column is satisfied at the moment of contact item creation. The Dynamics 365 accountid GUID is stored as a text column on the monday.com item for reconciliation purposes. Parent account hierarchy from Dynamics 365 maps to a subitem structure under the primary Account item in monday.com rather than a foreign-key lookup.
CRUMP CRM
Opportunity (Deal)
monday CRM
Deal Board (Items)
1:1CRUMP CRM Deals (Dynamics 365 Opportunities) migrate to a monday.com Deal board. Pipeline stages from Dynamics 365 (for example, Prospecting, Qualification, Proposal, Negotiation, Closed Won, Closed Lost) map to Status column groups on the Deal board. Deal value, estimated close date, and probability are mapped to Number and Date columns. The link column on each Deal item points to the associated Account item, resolving the Opportunity-to-Account relationship at migration time.
CRUMP CRM
Case (Ticket)
monday CRM
Support Board (Items)
1:1CRUMP CRM Tickets (Dynamics 365 Cases) migrate to a monday.com Support or Helpdesk board. Case status (New, Active, On Hold, Resolved, Closed) maps to Status column groups. Priority, description, and linked contact are mapped to Priority, Text, and People columns respectively. Custom fields attached to tickets in Dynamics 365 are enumerated during audit and created as typed monday.com columns before ticket import begins.
CRUMP CRM
Project
monday CRM
Project Board (Items)
1:manyCRUMP CRM Projects (Dynamics 365 Project Service Automation module) do not have a direct monday.com CRM equivalent. We create a Project board where each project is an item, and project-level milestones or phases become Groups within the board. Task-level detail from Dynamics 365 Projects is complex and may exceed monday.com's native task depth; we migrate the project record with status, dates, assigned team members, and budget but document task-level records for manual entry or a separate project-focused monday.com board if the customer requires it.
CRUMP CRM
User (Team Member)
monday CRM
People Column on boards
1:1CRUMP CRM user accounts and their role assignments map to monday.com team member accounts. We extract every distinct owner referenced on Contact, Account, Deal, and Case records and provision monday.com team member invites for any user without an existing account. Inactive Dynamics 365 users are archived rather than imported to avoid ghost records. Role mappings (Salesperson, Sales Manager, Support Agent) are preserved as Text columns on relevant boards rather than a native role model.
CRUMP CRM
Invoice
monday CRM
Invoice Board (Items)
1:1CRUMP CRM invoicing records (Dynamics 365 Finance module) migrate to a monday.com Invoice board as items. Line items, totals, and payment status are mapped to Number and Status columns. The relationship between an invoice and its originating Deal or Project is reconstructed from the Dynamics 365 export by linking the invoice item to the corresponding Deal or Project item via a link column at migration time. This step requires the Deal or Project to exist in monday.com before the Invoice import phase.
CRUMP CRM
Custom Object
monday CRM
Custom Board (Items)
1:1CRUMP CRM custom Dynamics 365 entities are enumerated during the audit phase and each is assigned a dedicated monday.com board. The board's columns are configured to match the custom entity's attributes, with field types inferred from the Dynamics 365 attribute type (string to Text, integer to Numbers, date to Date, lookup to Link). Lookup relationships between custom entities are preserved as Link columns between the relevant monday.com items. This is the highest-risk part of the migration because no two Dynamics 365 deployments share the same custom entity set.
CRUMP CRM
Activity (Task, Note, Email)
monday CRM
Activity Board or subitems
1:manyCRUMP CRM activities (Dynamics 365 activities: tasks, phone calls, emails, appointments, notes) are merged into a monday.com Activity board or stored as subitems under their parent Contact, Account, or Deal item. We distinguish activity type via a Status column group or Label column and preserve the original timestamp and owner. Email content migrates as a long-text column. We do not migrate email attachments as binary blobs through the monday.com API; attachments are documented separately for manual upload or SharePoint link restoration.

Migration approach
CRUMP CRM Dynamics 365 audit and licence verification
We connect to the source CRUMP CRM org by accessing the underlying Dynamics 365 instance (typically via crump.crm.dynamics.com). We enumerate every active entity including standard CRM entities (Contact, Account, Opportunity, Case, Task) and any custom entities unique to this deployment. We verify the Dynamics 365 licence tier to confirm which entities are accessible via the web API and flag any restricted entities that require elevated credentials. We also identify inactive modules (Project Management, Invoicing, Helpdesk) that should not be imported as empty containers. The audit output is a written entity inventory with record counts per entity and a confirmation of the migration scope.
Monday.com board design and column schema creation
We design the monday.com board architecture based on the entity inventory from step one. Each Dynamics 365 entity gets a corresponding monday.com board with typed columns that match the source field types. We configure link columns for parent-child relationships (Account to Contact, Deal to Account) and create group structures for any multi-stage pipelines (Deal board groups per pipeline stage). Custom Dynamics 365 entities receive dedicated boards with custom column sets. The board design is reviewed with the customer before any data moves, because column type changes after data is loaded require re-import.
Data extraction, cleansing, and duplicate audit
We extract data from Dynamics 365 in entity dependency order: Accounts first (because Contacts require an AccountId), then Contacts, then Opportunities, Cases, and custom entities. We run a deduplication pass on Contact and Account records using email address and company domain as matching keys, consistent with CRUMP CRM's duplicate detection rules. We flag records that fail required-field validation in the target monday.com board (for example, Contacts without an email address) and document them for the customer's admin to resolve before import. Stale records (last activity older than 24 months) are archived rather than migrated unless the customer specifies otherwise.
Sandbox migration and relationship reconciliation
We run a full migration into a test monday.com workspace using production-like data volume. We validate that every link column resolves correctly (Contacts linked to Accounts, Deals linked to Accounts, Cases linked to Contacts), that Status column groupings cover all pipeline stages from the source, and that People columns are populated with valid monday.com team members. The customer reconciles 25-50 spot-checked records against the source CRUMP CRM org and signs off the sandbox before production migration begins. Any mapping corrections, missing columns, or relationship gaps are resolved here.
Production migration in dependency order with parallel-run cost accounting
We run production migration in strict entity dependency order: Accounts, Contacts, Opportunities, Cases, Invoices, custom entities, then activities. Each phase emits a row-count reconciliation report before the next phase begins. We freeze CRUMP CRM writes during the final 48 hours of the migration window to capture a clean delta of any records modified during the parallel-run period. CRUMP CRM's $75/user/month subscription cost during the parallel-run window is factored into the budget at the team's active seat count for the agreed window duration.
Cutover, validation, and automation rebuild handoff
We enable monday.com as the system of record on the agreed cutover date and disable write access to CRUMP CRM. We deliver a post-migration reconciliation report comparing record counts per board against the original audit baseline. We deliver the Workflow and Automation inventory document covering every active Dynamics 365 workflow with its trigger, conditions, and recommended Monday.com automation equivalent. We support a one-week hypercare window for record-level reconciliation issues. We do not rebuild CRUMP CRM Workflows, Project Management tasks, or Invoicing rules as Monday.com automations; that is a separate engagement for the customer's monday.com admin.
