Overview
Inspection Files stores inspection records, site locations, inspector assignments, findings/issues, and photo attachments in a vertically-specialized data model. monday CRM models everything as Boards containing Items with customizable Columns — there is no native inspection object. FlitStack AI translates your Inspection Files inspection records into monday Deals (or a dedicated Inspections board), maps each finding to sub-items or custom columns, preserves site and location data in text columns or address fields, and re-links photo attachments to monday's native file storage. The migration runs via monday's GraphQL API with its per-plan daily call limits (1,000 on Basic/Standard, 10,000 on Pro, 25,000 on Enterprise). Workflows, templates, and automated assignment rules in Inspection Files do not migrate — we export your template definitions as JSON for your monday admin to rebuild using monday's Automation and Integrations infrastructure. A sample migration runs first with field-level diff so you can verify finding-to-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 Inspection Files 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.
Inspection Files
Inspection
monday CRM
Deal (or custom Inspections board Item)
1:1Each Inspection Files inspection record becomes a monday CRM Deal (if using standard CRM entities) or a board Item on a custom Inspections board. The inspection name maps to Deal Name or Item Name, inspection date to Close Date or a custom Date column, and status to the Status column with value-by-value mapping from Inspection Files statuses to monday status groups.
Inspection Files
Site / Location
monday CRM
Organization
1:1Inspection Files site records map to monday CRM Organizations. Site name maps to Organization Name, address fields map to Address columns (street, city, state, zip), and site contact name/email map to the Primary Contact person column. Sites with no associated contact land as Organizations with no linked Person column.
Inspection Files
Inspector (User)
monday CRM
Contact
1:1Inspector profiles from Inspection Files (name, email, phone, role) map to monday CRM Contacts. Email is the primary key for deduplication. If the inspector is also a monday CRM user, the Contact record links to the monday user via the Person column on Items assigned to them.
Inspection Files
Finding / Issue
monday CRM
Sub-item or custom column
1:1Inspection Files findings attached to an inspection can map two ways: as monday Sub-items on the inspection Item (preserving individual finding status, severity, and description) or as a set of custom columns on the parent Item (Severity, Finding Status, Corrective Action) aggregated per inspection. The mapping choice depends on how your team queries findings — sub-items enable per-finding reporting; columns enable at-a-glance board views.
Inspection Files
Finding Severity
monday CRM
Status column or Number column
1:1Inspection Files severity levels (Critical, Major, Minor, Observation) map to monday Status labels or a Number column with 1–4 values. FlitStack preserves the exact label names if your monday Status column is configured with matching labels; otherwise a lookup table maps source values to the nearest available Status options.
Inspection Files
Attachment / Photo
monday CRM
File column
1:1Inspection Files file attachments (photos, PDFs, signed forms) re-upload to monday's File column on the inspection Item. monday stores files up to 250MB per file on Pro and Enterprise plans. Inline images embedded in finding descriptions are extracted, downloaded, and re-uploaded as separate File column entries.
Inspection Files
Inspection Template
monday CRM
Board structure (column configuration)
1:1Inspection Files templates define the inspection form structure (fields, required flags, finding types). monday has no template-import mechanism from external systems. We export the template schema as JSON including field names, types, and conditional logic — your monday admin rebuilds the board columns and sub-item structure from this reference.
Inspection Files
Inspection Workflow / Assignment Rule
monday CRM
Automation recipe
1:1Inspection Files automated assignment rules and escalation workflows do not transfer to monday. FlitStack exports the rule definitions (trigger conditions, assignee logic, notification steps) as a structured document. Your monday admin rebuilds these as Automation recipes using monday's When-Then recipe builder or via the monday API for more complex branching logic.
Inspection Files
Inspection History / Audit Log
monday CRM
Update column or Activity log
1:1Inspection Files audit logs (who changed a finding status, when an inspection was completed) preserve as custom Update-type columns on the inspection Item or as a separate Activity board linked by Item Name. Original timestamps and user emails are preserved as text strings in these columns for reference.
Inspection Files
Compliance Certificate / Signature
monday CRM
File column or Checkbox column
1:1Signed inspection certificates or electronic signatures stored in Inspection Files migrate as File attachments in monday's File column. If the source stores a simple yes/no confirmation, this maps to a monday Checkbox column with the inspector's sign-off date preserved as a Date column.

Gotchas + challenges
Platform-specific issues from each side, plus the pair-specific challenges that don't show up on either platform's page on its own.
Inspection Files gotchas
No public API reference means export relies on UI-based data extraction
Custom fields and template logic are not visible until after account review
Archived inspection records may require a separate export pass
monday CRM gotchas
Subitems are not included in bulk exports
Daily API call limits vary sharply by plan
Legacy automations (Sentence Builder) are being deprecated
Excel and account exports only include table views
Enterprise admins can disable non-admin exports
Pair-specific challenges
Migration approach
Inventory Inspection Files export and configure monday boards
Before the first API call, FlitStack ingests your Inspection Files export (CSV or API response) and maps the object schema to monday boards and columns. We generate a board-configuration spec: which board holds Inspections, which holds Organizations, whether findings use sub-items or custom columns, and which column types map to each source field. Your monday admin creates the board skeleton and column types; we provide the exact configuration checklist. This step also identifies any Inspection Files templates and schedules a template-schema export for manual rebuild.
Create Organizations and Contacts before inspections
monday CRM requires Organizations to exist before Deals can link to them (via the Organization column), and Contacts before inspector Person columns resolve correctly. We migrate Sites to Organizations and Inspector profiles to Contacts first, resolving duplicates by name and email. Unresolved duplicates are flagged with a source_system_id note so your admin can merge or reassign them before the inspection migration runs. This sequencing ensures foreign-key integrity on every Deal-Organization and Deal-Person link.
Run sample migration with field-level diff
A representative slice of inspections — typically 100–500 records spanning multiple sites, inspectors, and finding counts — migrates first against a test monday workspace. We generate a field-level diff comparing source values to destination column values, showing every field mapping, value transformation, and attachment re-upload status. You verify that finding severity labels, site contacts, and inspector assignments look correct before the full run commits. Sub-item creation is validated at this stage so no finding rows are orphaned on the main run.
Full migration with delta-pickup window
The full inspection dataset migrates to your production monday workspace. A delta-pickup window (24–48 hours) captures any inspections, findings, or site records created or modified in Inspection Files during the cutover period. Your team continues working in Inspection Files throughout — FlitStack uses scoped read access, not write access. After the delta window closes, a final reconciliation report compares record counts and field completeness against the source export. One-click rollback is available if record counts are outside agreed tolerances.
Deliver template schema export and rebuild guide
FlitStack exports your Inspection Files template definitions as a structured JSON schema including field names, field types, required flags, and finding-type taxonomy. We also produce a rebuild guide mapping each Inspection Files template element to its monday column equivalent. Your monday admin uses these documents to configure board templates, rebuild automation recipes, and set up any status labels that match your inspection severity and status vocabulary. This is delivered alongside the migration report, not as part of the data-migration run.
