Overview
GBuilder organizes engineering and construction data around hierarchical Projects and Tasks with custom property sets per project type. Monday CRM uses a board-and-column model where Contacts, Companies, Deals, and custom Items live as rows inside boards, with unlimited column types available on Standard and above. FlitStack AI reads GBuilder data via API export or structured CSV extraction, transforms project hierarchies into Monday boards, maps custom properties to Monday column types (text, numbers, dates, dropdowns, links), and re-uploads attachments to connected Google Drive or SharePoint storage. What migrates: projects and tasks as boards and items, contacts and companies (via Monday CRM Contacts module or custom boards), deal and pipeline data, file attachments, custom properties, owner assignments, and original create/update timestamps. What does not migrate and requires manual rebuild: GBuilder automations and workflow rules must be rebuilt in Monday's Recipe Automations; GBuilder's custom object schemas map to Monday custom columns but the automation logic is not transferable; integration connections (Zoom, Procore, etc.) must be re-authorized in Monday. FlitStack sequences the migration to respect Monday's daily API limits by plan tier, using bulk-import CSV for item creation and API calls for column configuration and relationship linking. A sample migration of one to three boards runs first so you can verify column mapping before the full cutover commits.
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 GBuilder 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.
GBuilder
Project
monday CRM
Board (Workspace)
1:1Each GBuilder project becomes a Monday CRM board. Project name maps to board title, project description maps to the board's overview text. Board groups are created to mirror GBuilder's section or phase breakdown within each project. The workspace structure (folder organization in GBuilder) maps to Monday workspaces or sub-workspaces.
GBuilder
Task
monday CRM
Item
1:1GBuilder tasks map directly to Monday items. Task name becomes the item title, task description maps to the item's main text column, and assignment, due date, priority, and status map to Monday column types (person, date, dropdown, status). Sub-tasks in GBuilder map to Monday sub-items within the parent item.
GBuilder
Contact (project-linked person)
monday CRM
Contact (CRM module) or Item in Contacts Board
1:1GBuilder contacts stored with a project link migrate to Monday CRM Contacts (Standard plan or above) with the project association stored as a text column or linked item. If Monday CRM is not active, contacts migrate as items in a dedicated Contacts board with Name, Email, Phone, Role, and Project columns created as custom columns.
GBuilder
Company / Organization
monday CRM
Account (CRM module)
1:1GBuilder companies map to Monday CRM Accounts with company name, domain/website, industry, employee count, and annual revenue stored as Account columns. Company-to-contact associations are preserved via the contact's linked Account field. Multiple project associations per company are stored as a linked items column.
GBuilder
Deal / Opportunity
monday CRM
Deal (CRM module) or Item in Deals Board
1:1GBuilder deal records (if present) map to Monday CRM Deals with deal name, amount, stage, expected close date, and owner. Pipeline stages in GBuilder map to Monday's Pipeline columns with stage values preserved. If GBuilder deals are stored as tasks with a custom deal stage property, those tasks migrate as items in a Deals board with the stage column mapped accordingly.
GBuilder
Pipeline / Deal Stage
monday CRM
Pipeline (CRM module)
1:1GBuilder deal pipelines become Monday CRM Pipelines. Each pipeline stage name maps to a Monday stage value within the Pipeline view. Stage ordering and probability percentages are preserved as pipeline configuration. If GBuilder has multiple pipelines, each becomes a separate Monday Pipeline.
GBuilder
File Attachment
monday CRM
File (via Google Drive / SharePoint link)
1:1GBuilder file attachments are downloaded and re-uploaded to the connected Google Drive or SharePoint account linked to Monday CRM. A file URL column in Monday links back to the re-hosted attachment. Original file names and upload timestamps are preserved as column metadata. Monday's 500MB per file storage limit applies after re-hosting.
GBuilder
Custom Property (per project type)
monday CRM
Custom Column (per board)
1:1GBuilder custom properties scoped to a project type create Monday custom columns scoped to that board. Engineering data types (measurement fields, specification text, material codes) map to Monday column types: numeric columns for measurements, text columns for codes, dropdown columns for specification types. Custom property validation rules do not transfer — column validation must be configured in Monday after migration.
GBuilder
Activity Log (calls, emails, notes)
monday CRM
Activity (CRM module) or Update / Column log
1:1GBuilder activity history (logged calls, emails, meeting notes) migrates as Updates on the relevant Monday item, with the original timestamp and owner preserved in the update text. If Monday CRM's Email & Activities add-on is active, activities are created as CRM Activity records linked to the Contact or Deal. Monday's activity log retention is plan-dependent (Basic: 1 week, Standard+: longer).
GBuilder
User / Owner
monday CRM
Person (Board member)
1:1GBuilder users are matched to Monday.com workspace members by email address. Owner assignments on tasks and deals transfer as the person column in Monday. If a GBuilder user has no Monday account, records are assigned to a designated fallback owner and flagged for admin review before go-live.
GBuilder
Project Hierarchy / Parent-Child
monday CRM
Board Group or Item Relation Column
1:1GBuilder's parent-child project relationships map to Monday board groups within a single board or to the Relation column type linking items across boards. Multi-level sub-project hierarchies deeper than two levels may require flattening or custom board groupings — FlitStack surfaces this in the pre-migration schema plan.
GBuilder
Comment / Note on Task
monday CRM
Update
1:1GBuilder task comments and notes migrate as Monday Updates on the corresponding item. Original author and timestamp are preserved in the update attribution. Rich-text formatting in GBuilder notes is simplified to plain text in Monday Updates. If GBuilder comments include file attachments or @mentions, those references are captured as plain text links or usernames within the update body.

Migration approach
Audit GBuilder data structure and export paths
FlitStack connects to GBuilder via API (read-only) or CSV export to inventory all projects, tasks, contacts, companies, deals, custom properties, and file attachments. We identify the project hierarchy depth, count of unique custom property sets, total item volume, and storage consumption. This audit produces a migration scope document listing every object type, field, and relationship that will map to Monday boards and columns. GBuilder API rate limits are noted so the import batching strategy is calibrated to Monday's destination-plan limits from the start.
Design Monday workspace and board schema
FlitStack maps the GBuilder data model to Monday's board-and-column architecture. We design the workspace structure (top-level boards for each GBuilder project, group structure for project phases, and sub-items for sub-tasks), specify custom column types for every GBuilder custom property, and plan the Contacts and Deals board layout. If Monday CRM's Contacts module is in scope, we configure the Account-Contact relationship model. This schema plan is delivered for your Monday admin to pre-create boards before data import begins.
Configure Monday boards and pre-create custom columns
Your Monday admin creates boards and custom columns per the schema plan. FlitStack provides a board-setup template and column configuration checklist so this is a guided, repeatable process. For Monday CRM Contacts, accounts are created first (mapping from GBuilder companies), then contacts are linked. For deal data, pipeline stages are configured in Monday before deal items are imported. This sequencing respects Monday's requirement that accounts exist before contacts can be properly linked, and that pipelines exist before deal stage values can be set.
Run sample migration and validate field-level mapping
A representative sample — typically one to three GBuilder projects covering 100–300 items across different task types — migrates to Monday first. FlitStack generates a field-level diff report comparing source values against destination values for every column. You verify that custom property translations are correct, sub-item nesting is accurate, owner assignments resolved, and file links point to the correct re-hosted attachments. Sample validation catches column type mismatches and relationship gaps before the full run commits.
Execute full migration with delta-pickup cutover
After sample validation sign-off, the full GBuilder dataset migrates to Monday in day-batched chunks respecting API rate limits. A delta-pickup window (24–48 hours) runs after the main cutover to capture any records created or modified in GBuilder during the migration window. FlitStack uses Monday's bulk CSV import for item creation and API calls for column updates and relationship linking. An audit log records every operation, and one-click rollback reverts all Monday boards to pre-migration state if reconciliation identifies critical data gaps.
