Overview
eBrief Ready organizes legal practice around Matters, Documents, Folders, and Annotations — a hierarchy built for barristers and litigation teams preparing court books. monday CRM uses a contact-based model with Deals, Companies, and customizable Boards. The migration must collapse a legal-matter hierarchy into a CRM structure: eBrief contacts map to monday CRM contacts, eBrief matters map to monday CRM deals or Board items, and eBrief documents re-upload as monday CRM file attachments. The harder translation problems are handling the legal-metadata fields that have no monday CRM equivalent (paginated brief references, court book indexes, annotation reports) and reconstructing legal workflow automations that cannot migrate. FlitStack sequences the migration using eBrief Ready's admin data export, field mapping all standard and custom properties, then bulk-importing into monday CRM through its native import API or CSV-uploader. A 24–48-hour delta window captures any matters modified during cutover so monday CRM reflects your final eBrief Ready 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 eBrief Ready 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.
eBrief Ready
Contact (Party)
monday CRM
Contact
1:1eBrief Ready parties including lawyers, barristers, expert witnesses, and clients map directly to monday CRM contacts. Primary email and name fields translate cleanly between systems without transformation. Secondary parties such as opposing counsel or expert witnesses require owner assignment on the monday CRM side to ensure proper accountability and contact routing after migration completes.
eBrief Ready
Matter
monday CRM
Deal / Board Item
1:1eBrief Ready's Matter is a legal container with no direct monday CRM equivalent. We translate each Matter into either a monday CRM Deal for client-facing matters with associated revenue or a Board Item on a dedicated legal-matters board for matters without billing. Matter status maps to Deal stage or Item status column, and all legal metadata fields migrate as custom fields on the target record.
eBrief Ready
Document
monday CRM
File Attachment
1:1eBrief Ready's documents re-upload to monday CRM as file attachments linked to the corresponding Contact or Deal/Item. monday CRM's 250MB per-file limit applies to all uploads; documents exceeding this threshold are flagged during pre-migration analysis and split into sub-250MB segments with a reference field linking the parts to the original matter.
eBrief Ready
Folder
monday CRM
Item Group / Tag
1:1eBrief folder structure translates to Item groups on a monday CRM Board, or we apply Folder names as Tags on related Items depending on the firm's preference. The choice between Item groups and Tags depends on whether the firm uses monday CRM Boards or Deals as the primary matter-tracking structure in their post-migration workflow.
eBrief Ready
Annotation
monday CRM
Note
1:1eBrief annotations including highlights, comments, tags, and date references export to a structured report during migration. We import these as Notes attached to the corresponding monday CRM Contact or Deal, preserving the original annotation text and source document reference exactly as they appeared in eBrief Ready for audit continuity.
eBrief Ready
Tag / Label
monday CRM
Tag / Label
1:1eBrief Ready tags applied to documents and matters map directly to monday CRM Tags without transformation. Value-by-value mapping is applied when tag naming conventions differ between systems, ensuring that all categorization logic transfers correctly. Tags with no matching counterpart in monday CRM are flagged for review before final import.
eBrief Ready
Custom Field (Matter)
monday CRM
Custom Field on Deal/Item
1:1Legal-specific matter fields including court registry, opposing counsel, matter type, and case number have no monday CRM native equivalent. We create matching custom fields on the target Deal or Board Item before migration begins. Industry or matter-type pick-list values require value-mapping setup to ensure dropdown selections populate correctly after import.
eBrief Ready
User / Owner
monday CRM
User (by email match)
1:1eBrief Ready users are resolved by email match against monday CRM user accounts during migration. Unmatched owners are flagged in the pre-migration report, requiring your team to either create monday CRM accounts for those users or assign records to a designated fallback user before the migration run executes.
eBrief Ready
Chronology Tool Output
monday CRM
Custom Column or Related Item
1:1eBrief Ready's AI-generated chronology has no monday CRM equivalent in native fields or columns. We handle this by exporting the chronology as a PDF document and attaching it to the corresponding Matter/Deal record, or alternatively recreating it as a Timeline column if the underlying date events successfully migrate with their timestamps preserved.
eBrief Ready
Smart Classification Rules
monday CRM
monday CRM Automations
1:1eBrief Ready's document auto-classification, bank-statement analysis, and smart filing rules cannot migrate as functional automations. These features are rebuilt as monday CRM Automations and Integrations after migration completes, using the exported workflow definitions as detailed rebuild references for your team to configure in the automation builder.

Pair-specific challenges
Migration approach
Audit eBrief Ready data and design monday CRM schema
FlitStack analyzes your eBrief Ready account export — counting matters, documents, annotations, custom fields, and party records. We map each eBrief entity to the nearest monday CRM object (Contact, Deal, or Board Item) and identify custom fields needed for legal metadata. We deliver a schema setup plan showing which monday CRM custom fields and boards to create before data lands.
Set up monday CRM boards, custom fields, and user mapping
Your monday CRM admin creates the boards and custom fields specified in the schema plan — matter-type pick-lists, court registry fields, document-reference fields. We provide the exact field names, types, and pick-list values. User mapping resolves eBrief Ready users to monday CRM users by email match; unmatched users are flagged so your team creates accounts or assigns a fallback owner before migration runs.
Run a sample migration with field-level diff
A representative slice of 50–200 records migrates first, covering contacts, matters, documents, and annotations across multiple matter types. We generate a detailed field-level diff between the source eBrief Ready records and the monday CRM destination so you can verify legal metadata mapping, document attachment links, and owner resolution before the full migration run commits to the production environment.
Execute full migration with delta-pickup window
Full data export loads into monday CRM via bulk CSV import for standard records or API calls for custom field setup and complex relationships. A 24–48-hour delta-pickup window captures any matters, contacts, or documents created or modified during the cutover window so monday CRM reflects your final eBrief Ready state at go-live. We validate record counts, attachment integrity, and custom-field population before switchover.
Validate, deliver audit log, and hand off rebuild references
FlitStack delivers a migration audit log covering every record imported, any records skipped due to data quality issues, and the mapping decisions made. We provide exported eBrief Ready workflow definitions as reference documents for your team to rebuild legal automations in monday CRM's automation builder. One-click rollback is available if reconciliation uncovers data integrity issues within the post-migration review window.
