Overview
Function 365 stores CRM data as a relational object graph: Contacts linked to Accounts, Deals with stage pick-lists, engagement activities attached to parent records, and owner assignments by user ID. Monday CRM models the same information as boards containing items, with columns replacing fields and group labels standing in for relationship hierarchies. The migration requires flattening these relationships into Monday's board-and-column architecture while preserving field-level fidelity. FlitStack AI handles the structural translation: Contacts and Companies migrate as items in separate boards; Deals land as items in pipeline boards with Status columns keyed to your original stage values; Activity history (calls, emails, meetings, notes) moves into subitem or linked-item columns with original timestamps. Owner resolution uses email matching against Monday CRM workspace members. Custom fields from Function 365 become custom columns in Monday — preserving data types where the platform supports them. What does not migrate: Automations, integrations, report definitions, and sharing rules are destination-side configuration. These must be rebuilt in Monday CRM's automation recipes and permission model after data lands. FlitStack exports a machine-readable automation audit from Function 365 as a rebuild reference. The migration runs via Monday CRM's REST API, respecting per-plan rate limits (200/day on Basic, 1,000/day on Standard, 10,000/day on Pro, 25,000/day on Enterprise). Large record volumes pace against these limits automatically.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a Function 365 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.
Function 365
Contact
monday CRM
Contact Board / Item
1:1Each Function 365 Contact becomes a Monday CRM item in a Contacts board. Monday CRM creates a default Contacts board on workspace setup; we populate it with all contact properties as columns. Email address is the primary identifier for deduplication across the migration run.
Function 365
Company / Account
monday CRM
Company Board / Item or Group label
1:1Function 365 Companies map to items in a Companies board, or optionally as group labels in the Contacts board to enable at-a-glance company segmentation. The choice depends on whether your deals reference a single primary company per contact — we surface the N:N relationship as a separate Company Board when contacts have multiple associated companies.
Function 365
Deal / Opportunity
monday CRM
Deal Pipeline Board / Item
1:1Each deal becomes an item in a dedicated pipeline board. Monday CRM's Status column maps to Function 365 deal stage values — we configure the Status column with your exact stage labels and probabilities. Multiple pipelines in Function 365 create multiple boards in Monday CRM.
Function 365
Lead
monday CRM
Lead Board / Item (or Contacts Board)
1:1Monday CRM has no separate Lead object — leads land as items in a Leads board or as a tagged segment in the Contacts board using a Lead Status column. We set a custom column (Lead Status) with values matching your Function 365 lead statuses so segmentation carries over without losing filtering capability.
Function 365
Pipeline Stage
monday CRM
Status Column (per board)
1:1Function 365 deal stage values become Status column options in the corresponding Monday CRM pipeline board. Probability percentages are stored in a separate Number column since Monday's Status column does not carry probability metadata. Stage-transition timestamps are preserved in a Date column for historical reporting in Monday Dashboards.
Function 365
Custom Field / Property
monday CRM
Custom Column
1:1Every Function 365 custom field (text, number, date, pick-list, checkbox, currency) becomes a custom column in the relevant Monday CRM board. Pick-list fields map to Monday's Dropdown or Tags column types. Currency and numeric fields map to Number columns with decimal precision matching the source. If a custom field has no Monday CRM equivalent (e.g., complex formula fields), we store the raw value as a text column for reference.
Function 365
Activity (Call, Email, Meeting, Note)
monday CRM
Subitem or Update column
1:1Function 365 activity records (calls, emails, meetings, notes) attach to the parent Contact or Deal. We migrate them as subitems in Monday CRM — one subitem per activity with columns for activity type, date, owner, and body text. Meetings include a Date column for start time. Emails store subject and snippet in text columns. This preserves the activity timeline per contact or deal item.
Function 365
Owner / User
monday CRM
People Column (assigned member)
1:1Function 365 owner IDs resolve by email match against Monday CRM workspace members. Matched owners populate Monday's People column on items they own. Unmatched owners are flagged in the pre-migration audit — your team either invites them to the Monday workspace first or assigns their records to a fallback member. Owner names are also stored as a Text column for cases where People column lookup fails.
Function 365
Attachment / File
monday CRM
File Column
1:1Files attached to Function 365 contacts, companies, or deals are downloaded and re-uploaded to Monday CRM's File column on the corresponding item. Monday's 250MB per-file limit accommodates most attachments. Files without a native destination item are stored in a dedicated Files board with a link column back to the parent record.
Function 365
Engagement Score / Rating
monday CRM
Number Column
1:1Numerical scoring fields from Function 365 (lead score, health score, rating out of 5 or 10) migrate as Number columns in Monday CRM. Monday's Chart View then supports sorting, grouping, and dashboard widgets built directly on these scores without transformation.
Function 365
Contact-to-Company Association
monday CRM
Connect Boards / Link Column or Group Label
1:1Function 365 supports N:N contact-to-company relationships. In Monday CRM, we map the primary company as a group label on the Contact item, and secondary associations as a Connect Boards link column pointing to the Companies board. This preserves the full association graph within Monday's native linking mechanics.
Function 365
Tag / Label
monday CRM
Tags Column
1:1Function 365 tags migrate to Monday CRM's Tags column. Tags are stored as-is — Monday's Tags column supports unlimited tags per item, making it a direct equivalent for multi-valued label fields in the source. Tag frequency is preserved for reporting.

Migration approach
Audit Function 365 data model and Monday CRM workspace structure
FlitStack ingests the full export from Function 365 — all standard objects, custom fields, pick-list values, and activity records. We generate a Monday CRM workspace blueprint: boards per pipeline, groups per segment, column types per field, and a Connect Boards linking plan for N:N relationships. This blueprint is reviewed with your Monday admin before any data moves. The audit also flags owner email coverage (what percentage of Function 365 owners have Monday workspace accounts) and identifies any pick-list values that will need Monday Dropdown options created manually.
Pre-create Monday CRM columns and board structure
Your Monday admin (or FlitStack via the Monday API) creates all custom columns before the import run: Status columns with your exact stage options, Number columns for amounts and probabilities, Date columns for close dates, People columns for owners, Tags columns for labels, and Connect Boards columns for company linking. FlitStack provides a step-by-step column creation checklist from the blueprint. This step prevents import failures caused by missing column types and ensures Monday's schema is ready to accept records on migration day.
Resolve owners by email and flag unresolved records
Function 365 owner IDs are mapped to Monday CRM workspace members by email address. FlitStack generates an owner resolution report before migration: matched owners are ready, unresolved owners are flagged with their record count. Your team either invites those users to the Monday workspace or designates a fallback member. No item lands without a People column assignment or text-column fallback, ensuring every migrated record has an accountable owner from day one.
Run a sample migration with field-level diff
A representative slice — typically 100–300 records across contacts, companies, deals, and a few activity subitems — migrates first. FlitStack generates a field-level diff report comparing source values against destination column values, flagging any truncated text, mis-mapped pick-list values, missing dates, or owner resolution failures. You verify that deal stage labels, contact status values, and custom field data are correct before the full run commits. The sample run also calibrates our pacing against your Monday CRM API rate limit tier.
Execute full migration with delta-pickup window
The full record set migrates via the Monday CRM API, paced against your plan's rate limits and complexity budget. A delta-pickup window — typically 24–48 hours after the initial run completes — captures any records created or modified in Function 365 during cutover. All operations are logged in FlitStack's audit trail; one-click rollback reverts the Monday workspace to its pre-migration state if reconciliation fails. After delta-pickup, your team can activate Monday CRM automations and begin using the migrated data.
