Overview
Moving from Krayin CRM to Monday.com CRM is a shift from a self-hosted Laravel CRM with MIT licensing to a SaaS Work OS with built-in CRM boards. Krayin's object model (Leads, Persons, Companies, Products, Quotes, Activities, Pipelines) maps to Monday.com Boards with Items, Groups, and Columns. The critical migration decisions involve resolving Krayin's attachment filesystem access limitations (attachments are not available via API), handling custom attribute field type mapping to Monday column types, and documenting every Krayin workflow for rebuild in Monday's automation builder. Monday.com's per-seat pricing ($10-$24/user/month) replaces Krayin's zero-license MIT cost but eliminates the hidden infrastructure and maintenance overhead that typically runs $3,000-$15,000 annually for a small team on a self-hosted VPS. We migrate contacts, companies, deals, and activity records in the correct relational order, preserving pipeline stage history and tag assignments, and we deliver a written automation inventory for your admin to rebuild in Monday's no-code automation builder.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a Krayin CRM 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.
Krayin CRM
Lead
monday CRM
Lead Board Item
1:1Krayin Leads migrate as Items in a Monday.com Lead Board. Each Krayin Lead field (name, email, phone, source, stage) maps to a typed Monday Column (text, email, phone, label/status). Krayin's pipeline stage assignment maps to the Monday Board Group. We preserve the lead source and creation timestamp as separate columns. Any Krayin lead scoring attribute maps to a numeric column for manual prioritization after migration.
Krayin CRM
Person
monday CRM
Contact Board Item
1:1Krayin Persons (the Contact equivalent) map to Items in a Monday.com Contacts Board. Email serves as the primary dedupe key. We create an Organization (Company) link on the Contact Item if the Krayin Person is associated with a Company record, leveraging Monday's Connect Boards column. Custom attribute fields on Krayin Persons map to Monday custom columns using type inference (date fields to Date column, dropdowns to Label column, multi-select to Tags column).
Krayin CRM
Company
monday CRM
Organization
1:1Krayin Companies map to Monday.com Organizations. This is the first object loaded in migration sequence so that Contact items can link to their parent Organization via the Connect Boards column. Krayin company fields (name, domain, address, phone) map to typed Organization fields. We preserve any tags assigned to the Krayin Company as Organization tags in Monday.
Krayin CRM
Product
monday CRM
Product Board Item
1:1Krayin Products migrate as Items in a Monday.com Products Board. SKU, name, price, description, and inventory quantity map to Monday Columns. We load Products before Deals so that Deal Items can link to the relevant Product Items via Connect Boards. If the customer's Monday.com plan supports the native Product column on Deals, we use that instead of a separate board.
Krayin CRM
Quote
monday CRM
Deal Board Item with Quote columns
1:1Krayin Quotes migrate as Deal Items in a Monday.com Deals Board. Quote line items (Products, quantities, unit prices, totals) map to a sub-items structure or a separate Line Items board linked via Connect Boards. We preserve quote status (Draft, Sent, Accepted, Rejected) as a Status column and total value as a Numbers column on the Deal Item. Custom quote templates and approval workflows cannot be migrated and require manual configuration in Monday's template system.
Krayin CRM
Deal
monday CRM
Deal Board Item
1:1Krayin Deals map to Items in a Monday.com Deals Board. The pipeline stage becomes the Board Group, and deal value, close date, probability, and owner map to typed columns. We resolve the Krayin Person and Company associations to Monday Contact and Organization links via the Connect Boards column. Closed-won and closed-lost dates and reasons migrate as separate columns for historical pipeline reporting.
Krayin CRM
Pipeline
monday CRM
Board Group
lossyKrayin Pipelines with custom stages map to Monday Board Groups. Each Krayin pipeline becomes a separate Monday Board (or a Board with multiple Groups, depending on the customer's structure). Stage names and probability percentages migrate as Group labels and a corresponding numeric column. Stage-to-stage automation rules require manual rebuild in Monday's automation builder.
Krayin CRM
Activity (Task, Call, Meeting)
monday CRM
Sub-Item or Column update on Contact/Deal Item
1:manyKrayin Activities (tasks, calls, meetings) attached to Persons and Deals migrate as Sub-items on the corresponding Monday Contact and Deal Items. Activity type maps to a Status or Label column; timestamps, owner, and description migrate to typed columns. Activity sequences and linked email threads that form a timeline in Krayin become a chronological list of Sub-items in Monday, ordered by the original activity date.
Krayin CRM
User
monday CRM
Team Member
1:1Krayin Users map to Monday.com Team Members by email match. Role and permission sets do not migrate directly because Monday.com's permission model (Workspace-level and Board-level access) differs structurally from Krayin's role-based model. We preserve the user list and email so the customer's admin can reassign permissions in Monday.com's People management section after migration.
Krayin CRM
Tag
monday CRM
Tags column
1:1Krayin Tags assigned to Leads, Persons, Companies, and Deals migrate as Monday Tags column values on the corresponding Items. Tags with no equivalent taxonomy in Monday.com are preserved as text tags that the customer can consolidate post-migration. We flag tag overlap and duplication during the reconciliation pass.

Pair-specific challenges
Migration approach
Discovery and data audit
We audit the source Krayin instance via its REST API and, where field coverage is incomplete, direct database query to the custom_attributes table. We document the full object schema (Leads, Persons, Companies, Products, Quotes, Deals, Activities, Pipelines, Tags, custom attributes), flag attachment locations on the filesystem, and inventory all active workflows with triggers and conditions. We also assess data quality: duplicate Person records, stale Leads, and inconsistent field formats are identified for a pre-migration cleanup phase. The discovery output is a written migration scope with a Krayin data quality report and Monday.com board structure recommendation.
Monday.com board design and column configuration
We design the Monday.com board architecture based on the Krayin object inventory: a Lead Board, a Contacts Board (linked to an Organizations board), a Deals Board, and a Products Board. Each board's columns are configured to receive the mapped Krayin fields with correct types. Pipeline stages become Board Groups. Custom attributes from Krayin map to Monday custom columns or Dynamic Mapping columns. We configure Connect Boards columns to establish the Person-to-Organization and Deal-to-Contact relationships. This design is validated in a Monday.com test workspace before any data migration begins.
Data cleansing and deduplication
We run a data quality pass on the exported Krayin records before loading. Person records are deduplicated by email, keeping the record with the most complete field data. Company records are deduplicated by domain. Stale Leads with no activity in the past 18 months and Deals marked as Closed-Lost more than 12 months ago are archived unless the customer explicitly requests they migrate. Field formats (phone numbers, addresses, dates) are normalized to consistent formats before Monday.com import. This phase is often the longest for Krayin instances with years of accumulated data.
Sandbox migration and reconciliation
We run a full migration into a Monday.com test workspace using production-like data volume. The customer's team reconciles record counts (Leads in, Contacts in, Organizations in, Deals in, Activities in), spot-checks 20-40 records against the Krayin source, and validates that pipeline stage groups are correctly assigned. Any column mapping corrections and relationship resolutions happen in this phase. The customer approves the sandbox migration before production cutover begins.
Production migration in relational dependency order
We run production migration in the correct load order: Organizations first (Monday.com creates the root entity), then Contacts (with Organization links resolved), then Leads, then Products, then Deals (with Contact and Organization links resolved), then Activity Sub-items. Attachments are flagged for manual customer-side re-upload with a record-to-file mapping provided. Each phase emits a row-count reconciliation report before the next phase begins. We apply Monday.com's API rate limits with batch operations and exponential backoff throughout.
Cutover, validation, and workflow handoff
We freeze Krayin writes during cutover, run a final delta migration of records modified during the migration window, then hand Monday.com over as the system of record. We deliver the automation inventory document detailing every Krayin workflow with Monday.com automation equivalents. We support a three-day hypercare window for reconciliation issues. We do not rebuild Krayin workflows as Monday.com automations inside the migration scope; the inventory document enables the customer's admin to rebuild them as a separate task.
