Overview
Factoreal organizes customer data around Contacts, Segments, and Campaigns with a marketing-first model; Monday.com CRM uses Boards, Items, and Groups built on the same Work OS architecture as Monday Work Management. There is no structural equivalent for Factoreal Segments in Monday.com CRM — we reconstruct segment membership as saved filter views on each board, preserving which contacts would qualify. Contacts and Companies map to People Items and the Contacts board, Deals map to Opportunities Items, and email, SMS, and WhatsApp message history migrates to Monday.com's conversation log. Because Factoreal has no public REST API, all extraction runs through coordinated CSV export cycles from the application UI. Monday.com automations do not migrate as executable rules; we document the full automation graph from Factoreal for the customer's admin to rebuild in Monday.com's Automation Center. Reports and dashboards in Factoreal are not exportable as transferable artifacts.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a Factoreal 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.
Factoreal
Contact
monday CRM
Person Item (Contacts Board)
1:1Factoreal Contact records map to Person Items in Monday.com CRM's Contacts Board. Standard fields (name, email, phone, address) map directly to corresponding column types in Monday.com (Text, Email, Phone, Location). We extract all contact profile fields and custom fields from Factoreal's CSV export and map each to an equivalent Monday.com column type, creating new columns in the Contacts Board during schema setup. Source attribution from Factoreal (how the contact entered the system) migrates as a Text column for reference.
Factoreal
Company
monday CRM
Company Column or Group within Board
1:1Factoreal Companies map to Monday.com CRM by establishing a Company column type on the Contacts Board and linking each Person Item to its parent organization. If the customer uses a separate company record structure in Factoreal, we create a Company Board with Items representing each company and link Contacts via the Company column relationship. Company-level fields (domain, industry, size, address) map to equivalent Text, Email, or Number columns.
Factoreal
Deal
monday CRM
Opportunities Item
1:1Factoreal Deals map to Monday.com CRM Opportunities Items. The deal name, value, stage, expected close date, and owner migrate to corresponding Opportunities board columns. Deal stage labels in Factoreal map to Monday.com's Status column with custom labels matching the original stage names. We preserve the deal's associated contact and company links through Monday.com's People and Company column types, maintaining the relationship graph across the migration.
Factoreal
Segment
monday CRM
Saved Filter View
lossyFactoreal Segments are defined by filter rules on contact attributes and behavioral events. Monday.com CRM has no native Segment object, so we reconstruct segment membership as Saved Filter Views on the Contacts Board. During migration, we capture the complete segment definition (filter conditions, operators, and values) and document it as a named Saved View with instructions for recreation in Monday.com. The contacts that belong to each segment at migration time are tagged in a Multi-Select column so the membership history is preserved even if the filter logic changes.
Factoreal
Campaign
monday CRM
Board or Item Group (with customization)
lossyFactoreal Campaigns hold subject lines, content, send history, and engagement metrics. Monday.com CRM does not have a native Campaign object equivalent, so we map campaigns to a dedicated Board with Items representing each campaign. Campaign metadata (subject, send date, channel, status) migrates to board columns, and engagement metrics (open rate, click rate, delivery status) migrate as Number or Percentage columns. The customer chooses whether to create one board per channel (Email Campaigns, SMS Campaigns) or a unified board with a Channel column filter.
Factoreal
Automation
monday CRM
Automation Center (rebuilt)
lossyFactoreal automation workflows define trigger conditions and multi-step action sequences across email, SMS, and WhatsApp channels. Monday.com's Automation Center uses a different trigger-action model with different channel integration points. We document the complete automation graph from Factoreal — triggers, conditions, delays, and action sequences — and deliver a written inventory with recommended Automation Center equivalents. The customer's admin rebuilds the automations in Monday.com post-migration based on the documentation we provide.
Factoreal
Email Template
monday CRM
Documented (no direct equivalent)
lossyFactoreal Email Templates include HTML content and dynamic merge field placeholders. Monday.com CRM does not have a native email template library with merge field support. We extract template HTML from Factoreal exports and document the complete template set — subject lines, body content, and merge field mappings — in a template inventory document. The customer's admin evaluates whether to recreate templates in Monday.com's connected email tool (Gmail, Outlook) or a dedicated email template platform.
Factoreal
SMS / WhatsApp Message History
monday CRM
Conversation Log (via Integration)
1:1Channel-level message logs (SMS and WhatsApp) export from Factoreal as part of campaign and contact data, including send timestamps, direction (inbound/outbound), and content. We map these to a Message History board in Monday.com CRM with columns for Direction, Channel, Timestamp, Content, and linked Contact. For ongoing SMS and WhatsApp messaging, the customer needs a third-party integration (such as a Twilio or WhatsApp Business connector) because Monday.com CRM does not have native SMS or WhatsApp capabilities; we document the recommended integration approach during scoping.
Factoreal
E-commerce Data (Orders, Products)
monday CRM
Board with Line Item structure
1:manyFactoreal's built-in e-commerce integration captures order and product data including order records, line items, and product SKUs. We map order data to a dedicated Orders Board in Monday.com CRM with Items representing each order and sub-items representing line items. Product SKUs and pricing migrate to a Products Board linked via the Connect Boards column. The customer chooses the column schema (Status, Total Amount, Order Date, Product, Quantity, Unit Price) based on their reporting requirements.
Factoreal
Custom Fields
monday CRM
Custom Columns
1:1Factoreal custom fields on contact and company records migrate to Monday.com CRM as custom columns. During the discovery phase, we identify all custom field definitions, export their values per record, and map each to an equivalent Monday.com column type (Text, Number, Date, Status, Dropdown, Multi-Select, Checkbox, URL, Email, Phone). Multi-select fields in Factoreal map to Monday.com Multi-Select columns, preserving the many-to-many relationship across records.
Factoreal
Tag
monday CRM
Multi-Select Column
1:1Contacts in Factoreal carry multiple tags stored as a many-to-many relationship. We export the full tag list per contact and create equivalent tags in Monday.com CRM's Multi-Select column type on the Contacts Board. The original tag values are preserved verbatim, and the customer's admin has the option to consolidate or rename tags during migration as part of data cleanup.
Factoreal
Social Marketing Data
monday CRM
Board with Metrics Columns
1:1Factoreal tracks social campaign engagement metrics including post-level performance data (impressions, engagement, clicks). We extract this data and map it to a Social Analytics Board in Monday.com CRM with Items representing each post and columns for Impressions, Engagement Count, Click Count, Platform, and Publish Date. The customer determines whether to maintain a separate Social board or integrate social metrics into the Campaign board.

Pair-specific challenges
Migration approach
Discovery and CSV extraction planning
We audit the Factoreal account to identify all active record types: contacts, companies, deals, segments, campaigns, e-commerce orders, and custom fields. Because Factoreal has no REST API, we coordinate with the customer to generate CSV exports from the application UI for each record type. We map the CSV column headers to Monday.com CRM column types during discovery and flag any missing required fields or encoding issues in the source exports. The discovery output is a written migration scope with a CSV extraction checklist and a Monday.com board schema draft.
Monday.com CRM workspace setup
We configure the Monday.com CRM workspace with the required boards: Contacts Board (with People Items), Opportunities Board, Campaigns Board, and any additional boards for orders, products, or message history. We create the column schema for each board to match the migrated Factoreal fields, including custom columns for source attribution, tags, and segment membership. Owner mapping resolves Factoreal owners to Monday.com team members by email. The workspace setup is validated in a staging environment before production migration begins.
CSV preprocessing and deduplication
Factoreal CSV exports frequently contain duplicates, missing required fields, or inconsistent encoding. We run a preprocessing step to deduplicate contact and company records (using email as the dedupe key), fill missing required fields with placeholder values for manual completion, and normalize encoding to UTF-8. Segment membership is computed from Factoreal's segment export and written to a tag column in the preprocessed contact file. Any records that cannot be resolved go to a reconciliation queue for the customer to address before import.
Board migration in dependency order
We run production migration into Monday.com CRM in dependency order: Contacts first (as the primary People record), Companies (linked via Company column), then Deals (with contact and company links resolved), then campaign metadata and message history, then e-commerce orders and products. Each board import emits a row-count reconciliation report. Monday.com's API supports bulk item creation with rate-limit handling, and we use exponential backoff to stay within the platform's request limits. The customer validates record counts and spot-checks a sample of records against the Factoreal source data before cutover.
Segment reconstruction and Saved Filter Views
After contact migration, we create Saved Filter Views on the Contacts Board that replicate each Factoreal segment definition. We document the filter conditions for each view in the migration handoff report and tag current members in a Multi-Select column so the membership is preserved even if the filter logic evolves. The customer reviews the Saved Views and can adjust the filter criteria in Monday.com's board interface. Automated re-segmentation based on behavioral triggers is documented for rebuild in Monday.com's Automation Center.
Cutover, delta sync, and automation handoff
We freeze Factoreal writes during the cutover window and run a final delta migration for any records modified after the initial export. Once Monday.com CRM is live as the system of record, we deliver the automation inventory document to the customer's admin team for rebuild in Monday.com's Automation Center. We provide a one-week hypercare window to resolve reconciliation issues raised by the team. Workflow rebuild, integration configuration for SMS and WhatsApp channels, and team training are outside standard migration scope and can be scoped as separate engagements.
