Overview
Moving from Flowlu to Monday.com CRM is a structural shift from a cross-functional workspace model to a board-centric Work OS with a CRM layer. Flowlu stores Opportunities inside Pipelines, Projects inside a unified work module, and Knowledge Base articles as standalone records; Monday.com CRM represents each of these as boards or items with customizable column types. We resolve that structural difference by mapping Flowlu Pipelines to Monday.com boards with Status columns, preserving the stage order and probability values, and mapping Flowlu Projects to separate Monday.com boards that can link to CRM items via the platform's relationship columns. Custom Fields on Contacts, Companies, and Opportunities migrate by type with explicit mapping to Monday.com column types. Flowlu automations, webhook configurations, and Knowledge Base article linkages do not carry over; we deliver a written rebuild checklist for each. Monday.com's three-seat minimum and its separate Work Management and CRM product tiers affect pricing calculations for smaller teams migrating from Flowlu's Free or Essential plans.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a Flowlu 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.
Flowlu
Contact
monday CRM
Contact
1:1Flowlu Contacts map directly to Monday.com CRM Contacts. We extract name, email, phone, company association, lifecycle stage, and any custom fields by type. Email serves as the dedupe key during import to prevent duplicate Contact records. Custom fields on Contacts map to Monday.com column types: text fields become Text columns, date fields become Date columns, and list fields become Dropdown or Tag columns depending on single or multi-select configuration.
Flowlu
Company
monday CRM
Company
1:1Flowlu Companies map to Monday.com CRM Companies. We extract company name, industry, website, address, and any custom field values. The relationship between Contact and Company in Flowlu is preserved in Monday.com CRM through the Contact's Company field, which links to the imported Company record. Companies are imported before Contacts so the lookup relationship is satisfied at the moment of Contact insert.
Flowlu
Opportunity
monday CRM
Deal
1:1Flowlu Opportunities map to Monday.com CRM Deals. We extract deal name, amount, probability, expected close date, stage assignment, and custom field values. The Opportunity's stage assignment references the Flowlu Pipeline which maps to a Monday.com board with a matching Status column. Probability percentages migrate to Monday.com's probability column or a custom number column depending on the board configuration.
Flowlu
Pipeline
monday CRM
Board (CRM Pipeline)
lossyEach Flowlu Pipeline becomes a Monday.com CRM board configured as a pipeline view. Pipeline name and description map to the board name and description. We recreate the stage names and their display order as Status column values on the destination board. Probability percentages per stage migrate as a separate numeric column that can be used for forecasting dashboards.
Flowlu
Project
monday CRM
Board (Work Management)
1:1Flowlu Projects map to Monday.com boards as work containers. Task-level granularity inside Flowlu Projects becomes Items with Group labels inside the Monday.com board. Project deadlines, milestones, and project managers migrate as Date columns, Timeline columns, and Person columns respectively. If the customer uses Monday.com CRM and Work Management as separate products, we map Projects to the Work Management board type and use cross-board Item linking to connect project work to CRM Deals.
Flowlu
Task
monday CRM
Item (inside Board)
1:1Flowlu Tasks inside Projects map to Items within the corresponding Monday.com board. Task name, description, status, assignee, due date, and planned or actual time migrate as Item name, Text column, Status column, Person column, Date column, and Number column respectively. Task dependencies in Flowlu map to the Dependency column in Monday.com if the destination board has this column enabled. Parent-project lookup is resolved via the board-to-project mapping established during scoping.
Flowlu
Custom Fields
monday CRM
Columns
lossyFlowlu Custom Fields on any mapped object type (Contact, Company, Opportunity, Project, Task) map to Monday.com column types by analyzing the Flowlu field type. Text, number, date, list, checkbox, and currency fields each map to the equivalent Monday.com column type. List fields with multiple options map to Dropdown (single-select) or Tags (multi-select). We flag any Flowlu field types that have no direct Monday.com equivalent and present options (text approximation or Notes column) for customer decision during scoping.
Flowlu
Invoice
monday CRM
Deal Item or Document Attachment
lossyFlowlu Invoices contain line items, tax rates, payment status, and issuer details that do not have a native equivalent in Monday.com CRM. We map invoice date, due date, totals, and payment status to custom columns on the Deal Item (or a separate Invoice board) using text and number columns. Line item detail is mapped to a long-text column or as a subitem structure on the Deal. The customer chooses between a Deal-column approach or a standalone Invoice board during scoping. Historical invoices referencing closed Projects are linked to the relevant Project board Item where the relationship exists.
Flowlu
Time Entry
monday CRM
Time Tracking Column or Number Column
lossyFlowlu Time Entries record hours logged against Tasks or Projects, with user assignment, entry date, and billable flag. We map billable hours to Monday.com's Time Tracking column if the destination board has this feature enabled on the Pro tier or above. Non-billable hours map to a Number column formatted as hours. Time entries are linked to the parent Task Item via subitem structure or via the Item's assignee and date reference to maintain the relationship to the original work record.
Flowlu
User
monday CRM
User
1:1Flowlu Users with roles (Admin, Manager, Member) map to Monday.com workspace members by email match. We extract user name, email address, and role. Owner assignments on Flowlu records (Contacts, Companies, Opportunities) migrate by resolving the owner email to the Monday.com user and populating the assignee Person column on the relevant Items or Deals. Any Flowlu user without a matching Monday.com account goes to a reconciliation queue for the customer's admin to provision before record import resumes.

Pair-specific challenges
Migration approach
Discovery and scoping
We audit the source Flowlu account across plan tier, record counts per object (Contacts, Companies, Opportunities, Pipelines, Projects, Tasks, Invoices, Knowledge Base articles), active automation count and type, custom field schemas per object, and integration usage. We pair this with a Monday.com account audit: current plan tier, existing boards and CRM structure, workspace members, and any active automations. The discovery output is a written migration scope document listing all objects to migrate, the mapping of each Flowlu Pipeline to a Monday.com board, and a decision gate on invoice handling strategy (Deal columns vs. standalone Invoice board). We also identify any Flowlu records above the Free plan's 100-contact ceiling to confirm the destination Monday.com tier can accommodate the full import.
Schema design and board architecture
We design the destination Monday.com board structure. Each Flowlu Pipeline becomes a CRM board with a Status column representing the pipeline stages. Each Flowlu Project becomes a Work Management board with the project's tasks as Items. We define the column types for each board based on the Flowlu field schemas, mapping text fields to Text columns, dates to Date columns, numeric fields to Number columns, and list fields to Dropdown or Tags columns. Custom fields with no direct Monday.com equivalent are flagged for customer decision before import begins. We configure cross-board Item linking for Deals that relate to Project board Items.
Sandbox migration and reconciliation
We run a full migration into the Monday.com account using production-like data volume extracted from Flowlu. The customer's team lead reconciles record counts (Contacts in, Companies in, Deals in, Items in each board), spot-checks 20-30 random records against the Flowlu source for field accuracy, and validates that pipeline stage order and probability percentages match the original Flowlu configuration. Any mapping corrections, column type adjustments, or board structure changes happen at this stage. This step typically takes three to five business days depending on the volume of records and the number of custom fields requiring type resolution.
User provisioning and owner reconciliation
We extract every distinct Flowlu user referenced as an Owner on Contacts, Companies, Deals, Projects, and Tasks. Each owner email is matched against the Monday.com workspace members list. Owners without a matching Monday.com user account go to a reconciliation queue for the customer's admin to provision before record import resumes. Migration cannot proceed past this step because Person columns in Monday.com require a valid workspace user reference. If the Flowlu account has deactivated users assigned as Owners, we map those to the admin-provisioned replacements and flag the reassignment in the reconciliation report.
Production migration in dependency order
We run production migration in record-dependency order: Companies first (as standalone CRM entities), then Contacts (with Company lookup resolved), then Deals (with Status column pointing to the correct pipeline board), then Project boards (with Tasks as Items inside), then Time entries and Invoices as columns or subitems on the relevant Items or Deals, and finally Knowledge Base articles as Items in a dedicated board. Each phase emits a row-count reconciliation report before the next phase begins. We use Monday.com's REST API with rate-limit handling and batch chunking to avoid exceeding the per-minute and concurrent request limits.
Cutover, validation, and automation rebuild handoff
We freeze Flowlu writes during the cutover window, run a final delta migration of any records modified during the migration window, then set Monday.com as the system of record. We deliver the Automation and Integration Inventory document to the customer's admin team, listing every Flowlu automation trigger and action with its recommended Monday.com equivalent and rebuild steps. We support a three-day hypercare window where we resolve any reconciliation issues raised by the customer's team. We do not rebuild Flowlu automations as Monday.com automations inside the migration scope; that is a separate engagement or an internal admin task. Knowledge Base article migration includes a note that Monday.com does not have a native knowledge base product, so articles live as Items in a board and may require a separate knowledge base tool if the customer requires public-facing article hosting.
