Overview
Moving from karmaCRM to Monday.com CRM is a structural migration: karmaCRM organizes data around Contacts, Companies, Deals, Tasks, and Events as distinct objects, while Monday.com CRM models most CRM data as Items inside Boards, with column types replacing field definitions. We extract records from karmaCRM via paginated REST calls and CSV export, transform each record type into a Monday.com Item or CRM Person record, and load through the Monday.com API with board-group and column-type resolution. The karmaCRM free tier hard-caps at 100 contacts, 100 companies, and 10 deals, so we verify record counts at scoping to confirm the account has not silently dropped records above those limits. Attachments, webhook definitions, email campaign body content, and integration OAuth tokens do not migrate; we deliver a written inventory of these for manual reconstruction. Role-based export permissions on karmaCRM must be confirmed before extraction begins, because accounts without export permission return zero records with no error surfaced.
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 karmaCRM 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.
karmaCRM
Contact
monday CRM
Person (People Board item)
1:1karmaCRM Contacts map to Monday.com CRM Person records in the People Board. We extract first name, last name, email address, phone, tags, and custom field values. The Person record's email address is the dedupe key. Tags from karmaCRM are imported as Labels on the Person record. Custom field values from karmaCRM require pre-creation of matching column types in the People Board before import; we document each karmaCRM custom field and its recommended Monday.com column type during scoping.
karmaCRM
Company
monday CRM
Company (Companies Board item)
1:1karmaCRM Companies map to Monday.com CRM Company records. We extract company name, domain, industry, address fields, phone, and tags. The company domain becomes the Company Website field. We link Person records to Company records via the native Person-Company relation in Monday.com CRM after both boards are populated.
karmaCRM
Deal
monday CRM
Item (Sales Pipeline Board)
1:1karmaCRM Deals map to Items in a dedicated Sales Pipeline Board. The deal name becomes the Item title. Deal value maps to a Number column. Deal stage maps to a Status column whose group values mirror the karmaCRM pipeline stages. The deal owner maps to an Owner column referencing the Monday.com team member. We create one Monday.com board per karmaCRM pipeline during schema design.
karmaCRM
Deal Stage
monday CRM
Status Column Group
lossyEach karmaCRM pipeline stage becomes a Group in the Monday.com Sales Pipeline Board with a Status column value matching the stage name. Stage probability percentages are stored in a Number column for reference. The group ordering is preserved from karmaCRM's stage sequence.
karmaCRM
Pipeline
monday CRM
Board (one per karmaCRM pipeline)
lossykarmaCRM supports multiple named pipelines (Pro and Premium tiers). Each pipeline maps to a separate Monday.com Board with its own Group stage structure, Status column, and value column configuration. We pre-create all boards during the schema design phase before any record migration begins.
karmaCRM
Task
monday CRM
Item (Tasks Board) or Subitem
1:1karmaCRM Tasks map to Items in a Tasks Board or as Subitems attached to the related Deal or Person Item. Task name becomes Item title. Due date maps to a Date column. Status maps to a Status column. Priority maps to a Labels column. Assigned owner maps to an Owner column. Tasks linked to a Contact or Company carry a relation column pointing to the linked Person or Company Item.
karmaCRM
Event
monday CRM
Item (Calendar Board) or Subitem
1:1karmaCRM Events (calendar entries with start time, end time, location, and attendees) map to Items in a Calendar Board or as Subitems on the linked Person or Deal Item. Start and end datetime map to a Timeline column. Location maps to a Location column. Attendees are added via a People column or documented as a text list for manual re-entry.
karmaCRM
User
monday CRM
Team Member
1:1karmaCRM Users map to Monday.com team members by email match. The karmaCRM user role (Admin, Member) maps to a Monday.com role designation. We resolve owners on Deals, Tasks, and Events by matching hubspot_owner_id-equivalent email to the Monday.com member email during import.
karmaCRM
Tag
monday CRM
Label or Tags Column
lossykarmaCRM tags applied to Contacts and Companies migrate as Labels on the Person and Company Items. The customer chooses during scoping whether tags become Labels (native Monday.com labeling) or a Tags column (multi-select column type) for consistency across all record types.
karmaCRM
Custom Field
monday CRM
Column
lossykarmaCRM custom fields are freeform name-value pairs across Contacts, Companies, and Deals. We pre-create matching Monday.com column types during schema design: text fields become Text columns, numbers become Number columns, dates become Date columns, dropdowns become Dropdown columns, and checkboxes become Checkbox columns. The karmaCRM custom field schema is documented as a written column definition for the customer's admin to configure in Monday.com before migration begins.

Pair-specific challenges
Migration approach
Discovery and record count verification
We audit the karmaCRM account across tier (Free, Basic, Pro, Premium), record counts for Contacts, Companies, Deals, Tasks, and Events, custom field definitions, pipeline names and stage counts, user accounts and roles, and any active integration configurations. We specifically verify that the migrating account has export permission. If the account is on the Free tier, we confirm expected record counts against the hard-cap limits and ask the customer to upgrade before proceeding if records exceed 100 contacts or 10 deals.
Schema design and board architecture mapping
We design the Monday.com CRM board architecture based on the karmaCRM data model. This includes creating a People Board (for Contacts), a Companies Board (for Companies), one or more Sales Pipeline Boards (one per karmaCRM pipeline, with Group stages mirroring karmaCRM deal stages), and a Tasks or Calendar Board for activity records. We define column types for every standard and custom karmaCRM field and deliver a written column schema for the customer's admin to review and finalize before board creation begins in the destination account.
Sandbox migration and reconciliation
We run a full migration into a Monday.com workspace using production-like record counts. The customer reconciles record counts (People Board items, Companies Board items, Pipeline Board Items), spot-checks 15-30 random records against the karmaCRM source, and validates that deal stage groupings, owner assignments, and tag/label mappings are correct. Any column type corrections or board structure adjustments happen in the sandbox before production migration begins.
Production migration in dependency order
We run production migration in record-dependency order: Companies (from karmaCRM Companies), People (from karmaCRM Contacts, with Person-Company links resolved), Pipeline Boards Items (from karmaCRM Deals, with Group stage, Status column, and Owner column populated), Tasks (as Items or Subitems linked to Person or Deal Items), Events (as Items or Subitems with Timeline column), and Tags (as Labels on Person and Company Items). Each phase emits a row-count reconciliation report before the next phase begins.
Cutover, validation, and non-migrated asset inventory
We freeze karmaCRM write access during cutover, run a final delta migration of any records modified during the migration window, then enable Monday.com CRM as the system of record. We deliver a written inventory of non-migrated assets: email campaign body content, attachment files, webhook definitions, integration OAuth tokens, and lead capture form configurations. The customer's admin uses this inventory to manually rebuild or reconfigure each item. We do not rebuild automations, workflows, or sequences as part of the migration scope; we document them for the admin to rebuild in Monday.com's Automation Center.
