Overview
LeadSimple structures its CRM around leads, contacts, properties, and operational processes — a model tuned for property managers who need workflow automation tied to lease lifecycle events like renewals, make-readies, and delinquency triggers. Monday CRM uses a board-and-item paradigm where every entity (person, deal, property) is an item on a board, columns define fields, and automations are recipe-style triggers. The two models diverge significantly: LeadSimple's process custom fields live in a conditional-logic layer that has no Monday equivalent, and LeadSimple's pipeline stages map to Monday's Status column rather than a dedicated deal-stage field. We map LeadSimple's leads and contacts to Monday CRM People entities with name, email, phone, address, and custom column values intact. LeadSimple properties (units, occupancy, annual contract value, cost) map to Monday items on a Properties board as custom columns. LeadSimple deal pipelines and stages (Pipeline Name, Stage Name, Stage Status, Closed At) migrate as board items with a Status column set to match the stage names. Custom properties on contacts, properties, and processes map to Monday custom columns — text, number, date, or dropdown depending on the source field type. Activities (calls, emails, notes attached to LeadSimple records) migrate as Updates or subitem activity logs within Monday. Automations do not migrate. LeadSimple's conditional stage-change workflows and auto-trigger rules built for lease events have no structural equivalent in Monday's automation engine and must be rebuilt as Monday Recipes by your admin. Reports and dashboards also do not migrate — the underlying data transfers but visualization layers are destination-side configuration. We deliver a field-mapping spreadsheet, run a sample migration with a before/after diff, then execute the full cutover with a 24–48 hour delta pickup to capture in-flight changes.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a LeadSimple 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.
LeadSimple
Lead
monday CRM
Person (Monday CRM People)
1:1LeadSimple lead records map directly to Monday CRM People entities. We map the lead name, combined phone numbers, tracked phone number, email address, and city/state/zip fields into the Person record's corresponding columns. The LeadSimple Assigned To owner maps to the Person's Owner field via email match against Monday user accounts.
LeadSimple
Contact
monday CRM
Person (Monday CRM People)
1:1LeadSimple contact records (distinct from leads in some configurations) migrate to Monday CRM People in the same manner. Contact-specific properties like owner-tenant relationships are preserved as custom columns on the Person entity or as tags within Monday's tagging system. We also transfer any communication preferences, interaction notes, or role-specific fields associated with the contact to maintain relationship context after migration.
LeadSimple
Property
monday CRM
Item (Monday CRM Properties Board)
1:1LeadSimple property records map to Monday board items on a dedicated Properties board. Property Name, Property Type, Address, City, State, and Zip Code map to corresponding text columns. Occupancy status and Annual Contract Value map to dropdown and number columns respectively. Units are represented as subitems on the Property item, preserving the parent-child relationship.
LeadSimple
Unit
monday CRM
Subitem (Monday CRM Properties Board)
1:1LeadSimple units associated with a property migrate as Monday subitems on the parent Property item. Number of Units, Occupancy status, and related lease fields map to subitem columns. Subitems are the Monday-native equivalent for nested one-to-many records within a parent entity.
LeadSimple
Lead / Pipeline
monday CRM
Item (Monday CRM Deals Board)
1:1LeadSimple deal pipeline records (where the pipeline feature is used as a sales pipeline) migrate to Monday items on a Deals board. Pipeline Name becomes the board name or a Board column, and Stage Name/Stage Status map to the Status column. Closed At timestamps migrate as a Date column for reconciliation. LeadSimple's pipeline model maps to Monday's board-level Status column rather than a dedicated deal-stage object.
LeadSimple
Process (Lease Lifecycle)
monday CRM
Board / Item Group (Monday CRM)
1:1LeadSimple process types (renewal, make-ready, delinquency, etc.) are recreated as Monday boards or board groups with a consistent column structure. Each process instance becomes an item. Process stage fields (Stage Name, Stage Status) map to the Status column; Next Task Kind and Next Task Due At map to text and date columns. Process-level custom fields that used conditional logic in LeadSimple map as static columns — conditional logic cannot be preserved and must be rebuilt as Monday Recipe triggers.
LeadSimple
Lead Tag List
monday CRM
Tags (Monday CRM)
1:1LeadSimple's Tag List field on leads migrates as Monday tags on the corresponding Person or item. Tags are a flat list in Monday and do not support hierarchical tag structures. We split comma-separated LeadSimple tags into individual Monday tags for each value.
LeadSimple
Lead Source
monday CRM
Text Column (Monday CRM)
1:1LeadSimple's Source Name and Referrer Name fields migrate as text columns on the relevant Person or item. Monday CRM does not have a native source-tracking taxonomy, so these are stored as read-only text columns for reporting continuity. Each lead's original source and referrer information is preserved in full detail for historical reference and attribution analysis after migration.
LeadSimple
Custom Property (Contact / Property / Process)
monday CRM
Custom Column (Monday CRM Board)
1:1LeadSimple custom fields on contacts, properties, and processes map to Monday custom columns. We determine the appropriate Monday column type (text, number, date, dropdown, checkbox) based on the LeadSimple field format. Fields stored as Link, Currency, or Date formats in LeadSimple get the equivalent Monday column type. Fields that used conditional logic in LeadSimple's process builder map as static values — the conditional evaluation logic is not transferable.
LeadSimple
Notes / Comments (on Lead)
monday CRM
Updates (Monday CRM Item)
1:1LeadSimple comments attached to lead records migrate as Updates on the corresponding Monday item. We preserve the comment text, author, and timestamp. Monday Updates are displayed in reverse-chronological order on the item's feed, which approximates the LeadSimple comment history layout.
LeadSimple
Workflow / Automation (LeadSimple)
monday CRM
None (must be rebuilt)
1:1LeadSimple's conditional stage-change workflows and auto-triggers tied to lease events have no structural equivalent in Monday CRM's recipe automation model. We export the workflow definitions (trigger conditions, actions, and stage-change rules) as a reference document for your Monday admin to rebuild as Monday Recipes.

Migration approach
Audit LeadSimple data model and plan Monday board structure
We extract a full export from LeadSimple covering all leads, contacts, properties, units, process types, and custom field definitions. We then map each LeadSimple entity and field to a Monday CRM board and column structure, selecting the appropriate Monday column type (text, number, date, dropdown, checkbox, link) for each field. This step produces the migration mapping document and identifies any LeadSimple fields that require Monday custom column creation. We flag Monday API rate limits for your plan tier and advise on plan upgrades if your record count requires it.
Validate API credentials and run a scoped-read data pull
We authenticate against the LeadSimple API and pull a full record set using your scoped-read credentials. For Monday CRM, we validate write access to the target workspace, confirm board creation permissions, and verify that all required Monday column types are available under your plan tier. We also run a field-content audit to identify any LeadSimple data that cannot safely map to Monday's typed columns, creating custom text fallbacks where needed. Any owner email addresses that do not match a Monday user are flagged for your team to provision accounts before the full migration.
Run a sample migration with before/after field-level diff
A representative slice of records — typically 50–200 covering a cross-section of lead types, property records, and process instances — migrates to Monday CRM first. We generate a field-level diff comparing source values in LeadSimple against the destination values in Monday for every mapped field. You review the diff to confirm that stage names, custom property values, owner assignments, and date fields transferred correctly before we commit to the full run. Any column type mismatches or missing Monday options are corrected at this stage.
Execute full migration with delta-pickup window
The full record set migrates to Monday CRM using the validated mapping. We run Monday API calls at a rate that respects your plan's daily limit to avoid throttling. During the migration, your team continues working in LeadSimple — we use scoped-read access only. A delta-pickup window of 24–48 hours after the full migration ingests any records created or modified in LeadSimple during the cutover, so Monday reflects the final state of your LeadSimple data at go-live. Audit log captures every record written, and one-click rollback is available if reconciliation finds unexpected gaps.
