Overview

What this migration involves

Moving from Force24 to Monday.com CRM is a platform-category migration: Force24 is a marketing automation system with journey builders, multi-channel campaign tools, and lead scoring; Monday.com CRM is a board-based work management platform with CRM capabilities layered on top of its core Items and Groups structure. We migrate the primary objects directly — Contacts become People, Companies become Companies, and Deals map to Deal Items on CRM boards — but we flag three structural gaps upfront. Monday.com CRM has no native lead scoring below the Enterprise tier, no journey automation engine equivalent to Force24's visual multi-channel journey builder, and no built-in lifecycle stage model. We address these by preserving lead score values as custom numeric columns, documenting the full journey tree for manual rebuild in Monday.com Automations, and mapping Force24 lifecycle stages to Monday.com custom status columns. Custom Object records (typically Bookings or event registrations) migrate as linked Items on a dedicated board, with the relationship documented for manual board linking configuration.

Field-level fidelity

Every standard and custom field arrives verified.

Schema-aware mapping

AI proposes the map; you confirm before any record moves.

Relationships preserved

Parent–child, lookups, and ownership stay linked.

Full activity history

Calls, emails, meetings — with original timestamps.

Attachments & notes

Documents, uploads, and inline notes move with the record.

Why teams make this switch

Two sides of the same decision

Leaving

Force24

What's pushing teams away

  • Form building is cited as a pain point — reviewers note the form editor lacks maturity compared to dedicated form tools
  • Steep learning curve documented by multiple G2 reviewers who say the platform takes time to master before becoming productive
  • Limited API documentation means customers relying on custom integrations often hit walls when automating data flows
  • Some users report integration availability issues, finding the native connector library more constrained than expected
  • Per-user pricing on higher tiers can surprise growing teams — marketing seat counts drive cost in ways not always obvious at purchase

Choosing

monday CRM

What's pulling them in

  • Users praise the board-based visual interface for making pipeline stages immediately legible to non-technical team members without CRM training.
  • The no-code automation builder lets sales ops teams create lead routing, stage updates, and email triggers without developer involvement.
  • Integration ecosystem connects to Slack, Gmail, Outlook, and Zapier with minimal configuration, reducing friction for teams already using these tools.
  • The flexible column system lets teams build custom CRM views — deal value, close date, lead source — without needing a developer or pre-defined schema.
  • Teams already using monday Work Management can layer CRM features onto existing boards rather than starting from scratch.

Object mapping

How Force24 objects map to monday CRM

Each row shows how a Force24 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.

Force24

Contact

maps to

monday CRM

Person (People CRM)

1:1
Fully supported

Force24 Contacts map directly to Monday.com CRM People records. All standard fields (name, email, phone, address) migrate as typed columns in the People board. Force24 lifecycle stage properties (subscriber, lead, marketing qualified, sales qualified, customer) are written to a custom Status column with matching display values so the customer's team can filter and segment people by lifecycle stage. Custom contact properties migrate as Monday.com text, number, date, or dropdown columns depending on data type.

Force24

Company

maps to

monday CRM

Company

1:1
Fully supported

Force24 Companies map to Monday.com CRM Companies. The company name becomes the Company Name column; domain and URL properties map to Website and Industry columns. We preserve the Force24 company-contact association by linking each Person record to their parent Company during migration. Monday.com CRM does not have a separate account-record hierarchy — Companies serve as the grouping entity for People.

Force24

Deal

maps to

monday CRM

Deal (Item on CRM board)

1:1
Fully supported

Force24 does not natively store Deals; pipeline data resides in the integrated CRM platform connected via Force24's integration hub. If Deals were managed in a connected CRM, we extract Deal records from that source system during scoping and map them to Monday.com CRM Deal Items on the Deals board. Deal stage maps to a Monday.com Status group; deal value maps to the Amount column; expected close date maps to a Date column. If no CRM was integrated, we flag this gap during scoping.

Force24

Lead

maps to

monday CRM

Person (People CRM)

1:1
Fully supported

Force24 stores Leads as Contacts with a lifecycle stage property. We migrate them as Monday.com CRM People records using the same mapping as Contacts, preserving the original lifecycle stage value in the custom Status column. No separate Lead conversion step is required in Monday.com CRM because Monday.com uses a single Person record type for both leads and customers.

Force24

Engagements (email opens, clicks, SMS, meetings)

maps to

monday CRM

Activity (Emails & Activities log)

1:1
Fully supported

Force24 engagement events (email opens, clicks, SMS replies, form submissions, meeting confirmations) are stored per Contact and can be mapped to Monday.com CRM's Activity log on the Person record. We migrate engagement type, timestamp, and content summary as Activity entries. Monday.com CRM's activity log supports emails, calls, meetings, and notes, which covers the Force24 engagement types. Bulk migration of activity history is handled via Monday.com's API with batch chunking.

Force24

Custom Objects (Bookings, registrations)

maps to

monday CRM

Item (dedicated board)

lossy
Fully supported

Force24 Custom Objects — linked-data tables for bookings, event registrations, or other entity types — migrate to Monday.com as Items on a dedicated board with a matching column structure. We export each Custom Object type as a separate board. The contact-link relationship is preserved by adding a Person relation column on the destination board, which links each Item back to the originating Person record. We document the relationship structure for the customer to configure board linking in Monday.com settings post-migration.

Force24

Tag

maps to

monday CRM

Tag (People tags)

1:1
Fully supported

Force24 contact tags migrate to Monday.com CRM Person tags. Tags are preserved as a tag-type column on the People board, maintaining the full tag set per Person. Monday.com CRM supports multiple tags per Person, matching Force24's multi-tag capability. We do not deduplicate tags unless explicitly requested; the customer's team reviews and resolves duplicate tags post-migration.

Force24

Smart List / Segment membership

maps to

monday CRM

Group or Tag on Person record

lossy
Fully supported

Force24 Smart List filter logic (saved queries with property-based and behavioural conditions) cannot be transferred as a portable format. We export the list membership — which Person IDs are in each Smart List — and recreate the membership as static Groups or Tag values on the Person records in Monday.com CRM. Active, real-time segments that depend on live filter evaluation are documented as a written spec for the customer to rebuild using Monday.com's Group and Filter functionality.

Force24

User / Owner

maps to

monday CRM

Team Member

1:1
Fully supported

Force24 Users (Marketing and Sales seats) map to Monday.com Team Members. We match by email address. Any Force24 User without a matching Monday.com workspace account is held in a reconciliation queue for the customer's admin to provision before record migration begins, because OwnerId references on Deals and Person records must be satisfied at insert time.

Pair-specific challenges

  • Custom Objects require account manager activation on Force24

    Force24 Custom Objects — linked-data tables for storing bookings, event registrations, or other domain-specific records — are not enabled by default. Customers must contact their account manager to have the feature added to their package. During migration scoping, we confirm whether Custom Objects are active and what object types exist, as any Custom Object data is invisible to the Force24 API if the feature is not enabled. We flag this before export to avoid incomplete data grabs. If Custom Objects are not active, we document the schema requirements so the customer can engage Force24 support before migration begins.

  • Monday.com CRM has no native lead scoring below Enterprise

    Force24's lead scoring engine assigns numeric scores to Contacts based on behaviour and property criteria. Monday.com CRM only offers lead scoring on the Enterprise tier at custom pricing; the Standard and Pro plans do not include it. We preserve the numeric score value from Force24 as a custom Number column on the People board, so the score data is available but the scoring rules — which would generate new scores automatically — are not transferred. The customer's admin rebuilds any automated scoring logic in Monday.com Automations or selects an Enterprise tier if native scoring is required.

  • Journey automation logic is not portable and has no direct Monday.com equivalent

    Force24 Automated Journeys define multi-step, multi-channel workflows with conditional branching, behavioural triggers, and wait steps. This logic is stored in Force24's workflow engine and is not exported as a portable format. Monday.com's Workflow Automations support trigger-action rules (status changes, date triggers, form submissions) but do not replicate Force24's visual multi-channel journey builder with its complex branching and behavioural segmentation. We document each active journey's structure — entry triggers, steps, branches, and exit conditions — as a written specification for the customer to rebuild in Monday.com Automations or a dedicated marketing automation tool.

  • Monday.com field-level type constraints can reject imported values

    Monday.com CRM enforces column type constraints that differ from Force24's flexible property model. Date formats, numeric precision, and email format validation in Monday.com columns can reject records during bulk import if the source data contains formatting inconsistencies. We apply pre-migration data cleaning — standardising date formats to ISO 8601, stripping invalid characters from email fields, normalising phone number formats — and run a test import against a Monday.com sandbox before the production migration to catch type mismatches before they affect live data.

  • Force24 API endpoints for Custom Objects are non-standard

    Force24's support documentation confirms that API endpoints exist for Custom Object creation and querying, but they are not publicly documented at scale. The API requires working with Force24's technical team to understand the exact request format, authentication method, and rate limits. During migration, we coordinate directly with Force24 support to obtain API access for Custom Object exports, which can add time to the discovery phase if not arranged in advance. We engage Force24 support during scoping to avoid delays during the export phase.

Migration approach

Six steps for a successful Force24 to monday CRM data migration

  1. Discovery and data audit

    We audit the Force24 account across all active modules: contact and company volume, Custom Object types and record counts, engagement history volume (email opens, clicks, SMS records, meeting records), active Smart Lists, active Automated Journeys, and tag inventory. We confirm whether Custom Objects are enabled by testing the API for Custom Object endpoint access. We also confirm the target Monday.com CRM workspace — whether the customer is starting fresh or migrating into an existing workspace — and review any existing board structure to avoid field collisions during import.

  2. Field mapping and Monday.com schema design

    We build the destination schema in Monday.com CRM: the People board columns (mapping Force24 contact properties to typed columns), the Companies board (mapping company fields), the Deals board with Status groups for each deal stage, and any dedicated Custom Object boards. We design the custom Status column for lifecycle stage values, the numeric column for lead scores, and the tag column for contact tags. The schema is built in a Monday.com sandbox workspace and spot-checked against 25-50 Force24 records for mapping accuracy before proceeding.

  3. Data cleaning and transformation

    We apply data cleaning before any import: deduplication of contacts by email address (keeping the most recently updated record), standardisation of date formats to ISO 8601, validation and cleaning of phone numbers and addresses, and removal of Force24 system-generated records (test contacts, duplicates from imports). We transform Force24 lifecycle stage values into Monday.com Status values and validate that all picklist values match Monday.com's allowed options for dropdown and status columns.

  4. Sandbox migration and reconciliation

    We run a full migration into a Monday.com sandbox workspace using production-like data volume. The customer's team reconciles record counts against Force24 reports (total contacts, total companies, total deals if applicable), spot-checks individual records for field accuracy, and reviews the board and pipeline structure. Any mapping corrections happen in the sandbox before production migration begins. We specifically validate Custom Object board linking, tag assignments on People records, and engagement history in the activity log.

  5. Production migration in dependency order

    We run the production migration in record-dependency order: first Companies (to establish the grouping entity for People), then People (with lifecycle stage, lead score, and tag assignments), then Deals (with owner resolution), then Custom Object Items (with Person relation column linked back to the parent People records), then engagement history (processed in batches via Monday.com API with rate-limit handling). We freeze Force24 writes at the point of final cutover and run a delta migration for any records updated during the migration window.

  6. Cutover, validation, and journey documentation handoff

    We perform a post-migration validation with the customer's team: record counts are reconciled, spot-checks of mapped fields confirm accuracy, and the Deals board is reviewed for pipeline completeness. We deliver a written inventory of all active Force24 Automated Journeys with their trigger logic, step sequence, and conditional branches so the customer's admin can rebuild them in Monday.com Automations. We do not rebuild Journey logic as Monday.com workflows inside the migration scope. We offer a one-week hypercare window for reconciliation issues raised by the team after go-live.

Source

Strengths

  • Visual journey builder with drag-and-drop workflow design that reviewers consistently praise
  • Multi-channel campaign support spanning email, SMS, WhatsApp, forms, microsites, and web tracking
  • Real-time behavioural segmentation with automated list updates based on contact activity
  • Lead scoring engine that assigns numeric values to prospects based on engagement data
  • Integration hub connecting Force24 to CRM platforms like Workbooks for unified sales-marketing data

Weaknesses

  • Form builder functionality is noted as underdeveloped compared to dedicated form tools
  • Limited public API documentation makes custom integrations and automation projects difficult
  • Per-user pricing model with marketing seat caps can inflate costs as teams grow
  • Custom Objects feature requires account manager activation — not self-service
  • Platform has a steeper learning curve than simpler email tools, requiring time investment to master

Strengths

  • Board-based UI makes pipeline stages and deal progress visually obvious without training.
  • No-code automation builder requires no developer resources to create lead routing and stage-triggered actions.
  • Flexible column system supports custom CRM fields without schema changes or admin involvement.
  • Integrates natively with Slack, Gmail, Outlook, and Zapier with minimal configuration overhead.
  • Layered product means teams already on monday Work Management can add CRM without migrating existing data.

Weaknesses

  • No native Contacts object separate from Items — contacts are managed inside a CRM module's People feature.
  • Pipeline and deal relationships use a flat item model rather than a relational object model, making complex CRM associations awkward.
  • Automations are plan-gated (250 actions/month on Standard, 25,000 on Pro) and the legacy Recipe system is being deprecated.
  • Customization and advanced views (Chart, Formula, Dependency) are locked behind Pro and Enterprise tiers.
  • Per-seat pricing with non-refundable annual billing creates cost lock-in risk during migration.

Straightforward migrations under 10,000 Contacts with no Custom Objects and a simple pipeline structure land between two and four weeks. Migrations with Custom Objects, engagement-heavy histories (over 100,000 activity records), or multi-stage Deal pipelines requiring custom column configuration move to five to eight weeks. The discovery and sandbox phases typically consume the first one to two weeks regardless of data volume, as the mapping and cleaning decisions made during scoping directly affect migration quality.
