Overview
Moving from FIVE CRM to Monday.com CRM is a transition from a telemarketing-specific platform to a board-based CRM that layers CRM entities on top of a work-management foundation. FIVE CRM separates Leads from Contacts and uses heavy custom fields to support outbound calling and campaign automation workflows; Monday.com CRM uses a board-and-item model where People (Contacts) and Deals live as items on customizable boards with CRM-specific column types. We resolve the Lead-to-Person mapping during scoping, enumerate every custom field in the FIVE CRM tenant through direct database or export inspection (bypassing FIVE CRM's opaque error messages), and map campaign membership to Monday.com CRM's People and Deals entities. Monday.com's workflow automations, integrations with Slack and Typeform, and AI features are not migrated as code; we deliver a written inventory of FIVE CRM automations and campaign sequences for the customer's admin to rebuild in Monday.com's Automations or Integrations center post-migration.
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 FIVE 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.
FIVE CRM
Contact
monday CRM
People (Contact)
1:1FIVE CRM Contacts map to Monday.com CRM People items. Email address, phone number, and owner assignment migrate via CSV import or API. We enumerate all standard and custom fields on Contact during the pre-migration field mapping session, type each field against Monday.com CRM column types (text, number, date, phone, email), and resolve owner email matches to Monday.com CRM users. Contacts without an email are flagged for manual review because Monday.com CRM relies on email as a primary identifier.
FIVE CRM
Lead
monday CRM
People (Contact)
many:1FIVE CRM separates Leads from Contacts in its data model. Monday.com CRM uses a unified People entity for both. We merge all FIVE CRM Leads into People items, preserve the original Lead_Source as a custom text column in Monday.com CRM, and set a Lead_Status column to differentiate migrated Leads from migrated Contacts. This merge happens at migration time using a source-object flag we add to every record during the transform phase.
FIVE CRM
Company
monday CRM
Organization
1:1FIVE CRM Companies map to Monday.com CRM Organizations. Organization is created before any Contact import to preserve the People-Organization linkage. The FIVE CRM company name becomes the Organization name; domain and address fields map to the equivalent Monday.com CRM Organization columns. Name-based deduplication is applied during import to prevent duplicate Organizations.
FIVE CRM
Pipeline
monday CRM
Board (CRM)
lossyEach FIVE CRM Pipeline becomes a separate Monday.com CRM board with a Status column representing the pipeline stages. We map the stage names from FIVE CRM (which vary by tenant configuration) to Monday.com CRM Status column values during scoping, explicitly renaming any stages that conflict with Monday.com CRM's reserved values. Custom pipeline fields from FIVE CRM become custom columns on the new board.
FIVE CRM
Campaign
monday CRM
Campaign + linked People
lossyFIVE CRM Campaigns track email marketing sequences and contact membership. Monday.com CRM does not have a native Campaign object in the same structure; we create a Campaign board in Monday.com CRM to serve as a campaign registry, and link People items to campaigns using a Link to Items column or a Tags column. Campaign status flags and contact-level engagement indicators migrate as custom columns on the People item. Per-email event logs (opens, clicks) require a separate export from FIVE CRM because the bulk export endpoint is not available, and are noted as a manual import step.
FIVE CRM
Task
monday CRM
Item on Board (Task type)
1:1FIVE CRM Tasks with due dates, assignees, and completion status map to Monday.com CRM items. We map the task assignee to the Monday.com CRM user (resolved by email), due date to the Date column, and status to the Status column. FIVE CRM task types are consolidated into a single task item type in Monday.com CRM unless the customer requests separate board structures per task category.
FIVE CRM
Custom Fields
monday CRM
Custom Columns
lossyFIVE CRM custom fields are enumerated during the pre-migration field mapping session. We map each custom field to the closest Monday.com CRM column type: telemarketing-specific drop-down fields map to Monday.com CRM Dropdown or Status columns; numeric scoring fields map to Number columns; text notes map to Long Text columns. FIVE CRM's opaque error messages mean we extract the full field schema directly from the export rather than relying on the UI to surface type information. Fields with inconsistent naming or types across the tenant are flagged for customer review before the mapping is finalized.
FIVE CRM
User
monday CRM
User
1:1FIVE CRM Users map to Monday.com CRM Users by email match. Roles and permission levels do not transfer directly because Monday.com CRM's permission model is workspace and board scoped rather than role-based. We note each FIVE CRM user role for the customer's admin to reassign permissions post-migration in Monday.com CRM's Workspace Settings.

Migration approach
Discovery and pre-migration field mapping session
We audit the FIVE CRM tenant to enumerate all objects in use (Contacts, Leads, Companies, Pipelines, Campaigns, Tasks), count active records per object, identify custom fields by examining the export or database output (bypassing the UI due to opaque error messages), and document pipeline stage names and campaign structures. We run a pre-migration field mapping session with the customer's admin to agree on each custom field's data type and Monday.com CRM column equivalent. The discovery output is a written migration scope, a field mapping document, and a Monday.com CRM board design for each FIVE CRM pipeline.
Monday.com CRM board structure design
We design the Monday.com CRM workspace before any data moves. This includes creating a Board per FIVE CRM Pipeline with the appropriate Status column values, configuring custom columns that map to FIVE CRM custom fields, setting up the Organization board for FIVE CRM Companies, creating a Campaign registry board, and adding the CRM-specific columns (Email, Phone, Lead Status, Lead Source) on the People board. Monday.com CRM boards are created in a Sandbox or development workspace first for the customer to review before production migration.
Data extraction and transform from FIVE CRM
We extract all records from FIVE CRM via direct database access or CSV export, bypassing the UI error layer. We apply the field mapping transform: FIVE CRM Leads merge into People with a source-object flag and Lead_Source preserved; FIVE CRM Contacts map directly to People; Companies map to Organizations; Tasks map to board items. Each record receives a unique migration ID for reconciliation after import. Custom field values are normalized to match Monday.com CRM column type requirements (date formats, phone number formatting, text truncation for column length limits).
Import and reconciliation
We import in dependency order: Organizations first (to satisfy the People-Organization lookup), then People (with the Lead/Contact source flag), then Board items for each Pipeline (with Status column values mapped), then Campaign membership links. Each phase emits a row-count reconciliation report. We validate a random sample of 25-50 records per object against the FIVE CRM source and resolve any mapping discrepancies before the next phase begins. Owner assignments are resolved by email match to Monday.com CRM users, with unresolved owners flagged for the customer's admin to provision.
Cutover, delta sync, and automation rebuild handoff
We freeze writes in FIVE CRM during cutover, run a final delta migration of any records modified during the migration window, then set Monday.com CRM as the system of record. We deliver a written inventory of FIVE CRM campaign sequences and workflow rules with recommended Monday.com Automations equivalents, organized by board. The customer's admin rebuilds automations in Monday.com's Automations center post-migration. We support a one-week hypercare window where we resolve reconciliation issues raised by the team.
