Migrate from Goodlegal to monday CRM

GoodLegal contact records map directly to Monday CRM Contact items. Each contact carries name, email, phone, company association, and creation timestamp. Monday CRM stores these as item fields with the person's data across Name, Email, and Phone columns. The original GoodLegal creation date is preserved in a custom datetime column to maintain reporting continuity and audit trails after migration.

GoodLegal company records become Monday CRM Account items. Company name, domain, industry, and employee count translate to Account Name, Website, Industry, and Size columns. Multi-contact associations in GoodLegal collapse to the primary contact link in Monday's account record. FlitStack maintains a cross-reference table linking secondary GoodLegal contacts to the primary account owner for reconciliation.

GoodLegal matters transform into Monday CRM Deal items. Legal context fields (matter type, jurisdiction, opposing counsel, contract value) become custom columns in the Deals board. The matter's status field maps to a Monday stage column reflecting matter lifecycle (Intake, Under Review, Pending Signature, Closed). Each legal metadata field is pre-created as a Monday column type matching the source data format before migration runs.

GoodLegal document references (contracts, templates, executed agreements) migrate as file attachments or link columns attached to the corresponding Deal item. The document name becomes the file label; the original upload date becomes the file metadata timestamp. Files exceeding Monday's per-file size limits are flagged for cloud storage linking instead.

GoodLegal relationship types between contacts and matters (e.g., 'Client Representative', 'Opposing Counsel') become custom dropdown columns in Monday CRM or item links connecting related Contact and Deal items. Monday's board linking feature preserves the N:1 relationship structure where multiple contacts can be linked to a single Deal, each with their assigned role in the dropdown column.

GoodLegal user assignments on matters map to Monday CRM's Person column. Owner resolution happens by email match against Monday workspace members. Unmatched owners are flagged before migration so you can invite them or reassign to a fallback user. FlitStack generates an unresolved-owner report listing each GoodLegal user without a Monday account.

GoodLegal timeline entries and matter notes migrate as Monday CRM Updates attached to the corresponding item. Each update preserves the original timestamp, author, and note body. Monday's activity log column captures the full chronological history in reverse-chronological order, matching GoodLegal's timeline view for audit purposes.

GoodLegal custom fields on contacts, companies, or matters (e.g., 'Billing Arrangement', 'Referral Source', 'Matter Priority') require new Monday CRM columns. Column type is selected based on data type: text, number, date, or dropdown. FlitStack creates these before migration runs and delivers a column-creation checklist specifying name, type, and dropdown options for each custom field.

GoodLegal document workflows (signature routing, renewal alerts, approval chains) do not have a direct Monday CRM equivalent. These must be rebuilt as Monday automations after migration using Monday's recipe builder. FlitStack exports your GoodLegal workflow definitions as a detailed rebuild reference document that includes trigger conditions, action sequences, and conditional logic for your Monday admin to reference.

GoodLegal's library of legal document templates does not migrate. Monday CRM does not have a native document templating engine comparable to GoodLegal's template system. Teams should export templates from GoodLegal and re-upload to a separate Monday board for reference storage, or integrate a dedicated document-generation tool like DocuSign, PandaDoc, or Salesforce Documents.
