Overview
Formitize organizes business data across four core record types: Clients (company-level entities), Contacts (people linked to Clients), Jobs (work items with status tracking), and a Sales Pipeline for deal tracking. Custom fields extend each record type, and form-based automations drive workflow logic. Monday CRM operates on a fundamentally different model: flexible boards filled with Items (which serve as contacts, leads, deals, or jobs) and customizable Columns that replace traditional field definitions. The migration must therefore perform a schema translation, not a simple row-to-row import. FlitStack AI extracts Formitize data via API using the Asset API functions, Client and Contact API endpoints, and Jobs/Pipeline exports, then transforms records to fit monday's board structure. We create monday boards with appropriate Column types before importing, and link Items to reflect Formitize's Client-to-Contact and Job-to-Client relationships. We surface the Formitize workflows export so your monday team can rebuild automations in monday's automation builder. The migration uses Formitize's API export for structured data and monday's board import API, with a delta-pickup window capturing records modified during cutover. Limitations to disclose: Formitize workflows, document attachments, payment records, asset GPS tracking, and QuoteAccept data do not migrate — these require monday integrations or manual rebuild.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a Formitize 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.
Formitize
Client
monday CRM
Company (People board / CRM module)
1:1Formitize Clients map directly to monday.com People items with the Type column set to 'Company'. The company name maps to the Item Name, website to the Website column, and address to a Text column. Clients with no website are created with the name as the sole identifier. Multiple Clients do not collapse — each Formitize Client becomes one monday Company item.
Formitize
Client → primary_contact
monday CRM
Person linked to Company via CRM link column
1:1Formitize stores a primary contact ID on each Client record. In monday, the primary contact is created as a separate Person item on the People board and linked to the Company via monday's CRM People-Company connection. The primary contact designation is stored in a custom 'Primary Contact' checkbox column on the Person item.
Formitize
Contact
monday CRM
Person (People board)
1:1Formitize Contacts map to monday People items with first name, last name, email, phone, and mobile phone preserved in matching columns. Each Contact is linked to its parent Client's Company item via the CRM module's link feature. Contacts without a parent Client are created as unlinked Person items for manual classification.
Formitize
Job
monday CRM
Item on Jobs board
1:1Formitize Jobs become Items on a monday Jobs board. The Item Name is the Job title. Job status from the linked form template maps to a Status column with group names matching Formitize's workflow stages. The Job ID is stored in a Text column for traceability. Custom fields from the job form map to monday Columns on the Jobs board.
Formitize
Job → Client link
monday CRM
Item linked to Company via 'Client' link column
1:1Each Formitize Job references a Client ID. In monday, the Jobs board has a 'Client' column of type Link to Item pointing to the corresponding Company item on the People board. This preserves the job-to-company relationship and enables filtering jobs by client on the board.
Formitize
Job → Contact links
monday CRM
Subitems on the Job Item
many:1Formitize Jobs can reference multiple Contacts (assigned workers, service technicians). These contacts become Subitems on the Job Item in monday, with each Subitem linked to its corresponding Person item on the People board. The Subitem structure preserves the N:1 job-to-contact association without requiring a separate junction board.
Formitize
Sales Pipeline / Deal
monday CRM
Item on Pipeline board (Status = deal stage)
1:1Formitize Deals map to Items on a monday Pipeline board. The deal name becomes the Item Name, the amount maps to a Numbers column, and the deal stage maps to a Status column with groups matching Formitize pipeline stages. Close date becomes a Date column. Deals are linked to the associated Client Company item.
Formitize
Formitize Custom Fields
monday CRM
monday Column (type per field kind)
1:1Formitize custom fields on any object map to monday columns using type-aware matching: text → Text column, number → Numbers column, date → Date column, pick-list → Status or Dropdown column, checkbox → Checkbox column, GPS/location → Location column, linked record → Link to Item column. Each monday column must be created in the board before migration runs — we deliver a column-setup plan before data lands.
Formitize
Asset
monday CRM
Item on Assets board with Location column
1:1Formitize Assets migrate as Items on a dedicated monday Assets board. Asset name becomes Item Name, asset type maps to a Status or Text column, and the GPS coordinates from Formitize's Location Zone field become a Location column in monday (lat/long pair). Client linkage is preserved via a Link to Item column pointing to the Company item.
Formitize
Formitize Workflow
monday CRM
No equivalent — export for manual rebuild
1:1Formitize workflows are automation logic tied to form submissions and job status changes. monday automations use a trigger-action builder (When → Then) with cross-board capability. These models are architecturally incompatible, so workflows do not migrate. We export the Formitize workflow definitions (trigger types, conditions, actions) as a rebuild reference document for your monday admin.
Formitize
QuoteAccept / Quote
monday CRM
No equivalent — monday Quotes module or external tool
1:1Formitize's QuoteAccept module generates online quotes with QR codes, SMS links, and instant-accept flows. monday CRM includes a Quotes module (available on Standard and above) that handles quote creation and product linking. We migrate QuoteAccept line items as Items or custom fields in the Pipeline board, but the acceptance workflow and SMS/QR integration require monday's native Quotes setup post-migration.
Formitize
Document attachment
monday CRM
monday File column or Workdocs
1:1Formitize document attachments on Jobs and Clients are exported as files and re-uploaded to monday via the File column on each Item. For long-form content, monday Workdocs serve as a repository. Documents without a natural monday Item home are attached to the closest parent (Job or Client Item). File size limits from monday apply — files over 500MB are flagged for manual handling.
Formitize
PayNow / Payment record
monday CRM
No equivalent in monday CRM
1:1Formitize PayNow records (payment transactions, receipts, Apple Pay / Google Pay confirmations) are not CRM data and have no direct monday equivalent. Payment history should be exported as a CSV for record-keeping. monday's invoices (Standard+) handle invoice generation but not payment processing — integrate with Stripe or your payment processor separately post-migration.
Formitize
User / Owner
monday CRM
monday Team Member linked to Items
1:1Formitize user accounts map to monday team members by email match. Formitize owner assignments on Jobs and Deals become the Owner column in monday (assigned to the matching team member). Unmatched owners are flagged before migration — the account either invites them to monday or assigns records to a fallback owner. User roles and permissions are destination-side configuration.

Pair-specific challenges
Migration approach
Export Formitize data via API and profile record structure
We use Formitize's REST API — Client and Contact API functions, Asset API functions, and Jobs/Pipeline exports — to pull all records in structured JSON format. The API returns records with custom field definitions, linked IDs, GPS coordinates, and owner assignments. We run a data profile before mapping: identifying duplicate clients, orphaned contacts (no client link), jobs with no stage value, and Formitize workflows that require export. The profile output becomes the baseline for the field-mapping spec we deliver before any monday board is configured.
Design monday board structure and column configuration
Based on the Formitize data profile, we design the monday board architecture: a Clients board (or People board with Type=Company), a People board for contacts, a Jobs board with Status columns matching Formitize job stages, a Pipeline board with Status groups for each Formitize pipeline, and an Assets board with Location columns. Custom fields from Formitize are translated to monday column types and listed in a column-setup plan that your monday admin creates before migration runs. We map Formitize pick-list values to monday Dropdown options during this step so the values are ready in monday when items land.
Resolve Formitize owners to monday team members by email
Formitize owner IDs on Jobs and Deals are matched against monday team member accounts by email address. We generate an owner-resolution report: matched owners map directly, and unmatched owners are flagged with a recommendation — either invite the Formitize user to monday before migration day or assign their records to a fallback monday team member. No record migrates without a resolved owner. If a Formitize user account is inactive, we flag it so the monday admin can decide whether to assign records to an active owner or archive the inactive account's assignments.
Run sample migration and generate field-level diff
A representative sample — typically 100–500 records covering clients, contacts, jobs, deals, assets, and a few custom fields — migrates to monday first. We generate a field-level diff comparing source values against destination values: contact names match, deal amounts match, job statuses map to correct monday Status groups, GPS coordinates resolve to monday Location column values, and owner assignments are confirmed. The diff is reviewed by your team before the full migration runs. Any mapping corrections are applied to the migration scripts before the production run.
Execute full migration with delta-pickup window
The full migration runs against monday's API in batches sized to respect the account's daily rate limit (Standard: 1,000 calls/day, Pro: 10,000 calls/day). We sequence the load: Companies first, then People, then Jobs with Subitems, then Pipeline, then Assets, then custom-field values. This order respects monday's dependency model (Items must exist before they can be linked). A delta-pickup window — typically 24 hours after the main run completes — captures any Formitize records modified during cutover. FlitStack logs every API operation in an audit trail, and one-click rollback is available if reconciliation finds discrepancies above the agreed threshold.
Deliver workflow export and rebuild reference, then handoff
After the data migration, we deliver the Formitize workflow definitions as a structured document (trigger type, conditions, actions) that your monday admin uses to rebuild automations in monday's automation builder. We also deliver the QuoteAccept line-item export as a monday-compatible CSV for manual Quote creation in monday's Quotes module. A handoff call covers: how to validate item counts in monday, where to find linked relationships, how to use the owner-resolution report for any remaining unassigned records, and which monday plan features to activate now that data is live.
