Overview
Field Nexus stores field service data as structured records: contacts with service addresses, companies with dispatch preferences, work orders with team assignments and scheduling windows, invoices with line items, and estimates with status trails. Monday CRM models everything as Items on Boards, with Contacts, Organizations, and Deals as CRM entities and custom columns handling the rest. The migration maps Field Nexus contacts to Monday Contacts, Field Nexus companies to Monday Organizations, and Field Nexus work orders to Deal Items on a dedicated Work Orders board — with each column type (Status, Date, Person, Number, Text) matched to the source field's data type. Monday's API rate limits (1,000 calls/day on Standard, 10,000 on Pro) constrain bulk-import throughput, requiring batched processing. We run a sample migration first with field-level diff so you verify column mapping before the full run commits, then capture any records modified during the delta window (24–48 hours) before cutover. Workflows, automations, payment integrations, and routing logic from Field Nexus do not transfer — we export those definitions as a rebuild reference for your Monday setup.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a Field Nexus 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.
Field Nexus
Contact
monday CRM
Contact (CRM entity)
1:1Field Nexus Contact maps directly to Monday CRM Contact. Name, email, phone, address, and custom service-address fields map to corresponding Monday contact columns. Monday stores contacts as standalone CRM entities, so every Field Nexus contact creates one Monday contact regardless of how many work orders reference it.
Field Nexus
Company
monday CRM
Organization (CRM entity)
1:1Field Nexus Company maps to Monday Organization. Company name, domain, billing address, and service-region custom fields map to Monday organization columns. Monday Organizations can link to multiple contacts, which mirrors Field Nexus's N:1 contact-to-company relationship. This structure preserves the hierarchical relationship between companies and their associated contacts within the Monday CRM platform.
Field Nexus
Work Order
monday CRM
Deal Item on Work Orders Board
1:1Field Nexus work orders become Monday Deal Items on a dedicated Work Orders board. The Status column in Monday maps from Field Nexus work_order_status (New, Scheduled, In Progress, Completed, Invoiced). Each work order item links to the primary Contact and Organization via Monday's person and organization column types.
Field Nexus
Work Order Line Item
monday CRM
Subitem on Work Order Item
1:manyField Nexus work order line items (service tasks, parts, labor) split into Monday subitems on the parent work order item. Each subitem carries the service description, quantity, unit price, and line total. Monday subitems support the same column types as items, enabling consistent line-item tracking.
Field Nexus
Estimate
monday CRM
Deal Item with Estimate Status Column
1:1Field Nexus estimates become Monday Deal Items with an Estimate Status column (Draft, Sent, Accepted, Rejected). The estimated amount maps to the monetary value column. When an estimate converts to a work order in Field Nexus, that relationship is preserved as a linked Monday item via the duplicate-link pattern.
Field Nexus
Invoice
monday CRM
Item on Invoices Board with Payment Columns
1:1Field Nexus invoices map to items on a dedicated Invoices board. Invoice number, total amount, balance due, and payment status map to custom columns. Monday has no native invoice object — payment terms, due dates, and collection status are stored as columns. If Field Nexus stores line-item invoices, those map as subitems.
Field Nexus
Team Member
monday CRM
Monday User + Person Column
1:1Field Nexus team members map to Monday users by email match. On work order items, the assigned team member maps to Monday's Person column type, which creates a direct assignee link. Multiple assignees per work order require multiple person-column entries or subitem assignment patterns.
Field Nexus
Custom Field (any object)
monday CRM
Custom Column on Relevant Board
1:1Field Nexus custom fields on any object become Monday custom columns. Text custom fields map to Monday Text columns, numeric fields to Number columns, dates to Date columns, and pick-list values to Monday Status columns. The column is created on the destination board before migration; we surface the full list of required columns in the pre-migration schema plan.
Field Nexus
Attachment / File
monday CRM
File Column on Item
1:1Field Nexus file attachments such as photos, signed documents, service reports, and inspection images re-upload to Monday's file column type on the corresponding item. Each uploaded file attaches directly to the relevant record in Monday, maintaining the original file context alongside the migrated data. Monday's 250MB file size limit per upload applies; files exceeding this are flagged for manual download reference.
Field Nexus
Activity Log (calls, notes, emails)
monday CRM
Update / Reply on Item
1:1Field Nexus activity history — call logs, notes, email references — migrates as updates and replies on the relevant Monday item. Original timestamps and author names are preserved in the update metadata. Monday's activity feed on each item serves as the chronological record of customer interactions.
Field Nexus
Scheduling / Dispatch Data
monday CRM
Custom Columns (Date + Person)
1:1Field Nexus scheduling windows (appointment start/end), dispatch notes, and routing priority do not have Monday CRM equivalents. We map scheduling data to a combination of Date columns and Text columns on the work order item. Real-time dispatch visibility requires a Monday integration with a scheduling tool post-migration.

Pair-specific challenges
Migration approach
Audit Field Nexus data model and extract full record set via API
FlitStack AI connects to Field Nexus via API to enumerate all object types, custom fields, and relationships. We extract contacts, companies, work orders, invoices, estimates, team members, and activity logs. The audit identifies null-field rates, duplicate records, and multi-value fields such as multiple assignees per work order that require special mapping logic. This phase also captures field-level statistics including maximum text lengths, date ranges, and numeric precision to inform transformation rules before migration planning begins.
Design Monday CRM board schema based on Field Nexus object inventory
We map every Field Nexus object to the appropriate Monday board (Contacts, Organizations, Work Orders, Invoices, Estimates). For each board we list required column types and any custom columns needed. Field Nexus scheduling fields, service types, and dispatch notes are flagged as requiring custom columns. The schema plan is delivered for your Monday admin to pre-create boards and columns before migration validation begins.
Run sample migration with field-level diff on 100–500 records
A representative slice of Field Nexus records — spanning contacts, organizations, work orders, invoices, and team members — migrates to Monday as a dry run. We generate a field-level diff report showing source value versus destination column value for every mapped field. You review the diff to confirm status value mappings, date formatting, person-column resolution, and custom column placement before the full migration run commits.
Execute full migration with API rate-limit throttling and error retry
The full record set migrates using Monday's GraphQL API with daily call limits respected. Batching runs across business hours to avoid peak concurrency limits. Duplicate records are flagged by source ID before insert. Failed records are retried with exponential backoff; records exceeding three failures are logged with error context for manual review. The migration run does not modify your Field Nexus account — it uses read-only API access.
Capture delta records and verify Monday board integrity
A delta-pickup window (24–48 hours) runs after the full migration completes to capture any Field Nexus records created or modified during cutover. We validate Monday board record counts against Field Nexus source counts, spot-check column values against sampled source records, and verify that person-column assignees resolved to valid Monday users. An audit log is delivered documenting every record inserted, updated, or skipped.
