Overview
Link App structures its data around client matters and communication threads — contacts, organizations, associated deals, activity logs, and file attachments. Monday CRM repositions this data inside its board-based Work OS, using People for contacts, Companies for organizations, and Deals for pipeline management, all connected through its column-and-item model. The migration carries all migratable records — contacts, organizations, deals, activities, and files — into Monday CRM's equivalent entities. Workflows, automation rules, and custom integrations do not migrate and must be rebuilt in Monday's automation builder. FlitStack sequences the migration using the Monday.com API with rate-limit awareness (1,000 daily calls on Standard, 10,000 on Pro), bulk-imports deals and organizations first so foreign-key relationships resolve correctly, then maps activity logs and re-uploads attachments. A delta-pickup window captures any records modified during the cutover window so Monday CRM reflects Link App's final state at go-live. All original created dates, modified timestamps, and owner assignments are preserved via custom columns to maintain data lineage and audit continuity.
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 Link app 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.
Link app
Contact
monday CRM
People (Person entity)
1:1Link App contacts map to Monday CRM People records. Each Person record stores name, email, phone, address, and a Person Type (dropdown column distinguishing between client, prospect, and partner roles). Owner is resolved by email match against Monday CRM users.
Link app
Organization
monday CRM
Company entity
1:1Link App organizations map directly to Monday CRM Companies. Company name, domain, industry classification, employee count, and annual revenue fields migrate as standard Company attributes. Linked contacts associate via each Person record's Company link field, maintaining the relationship without requiring a separate junction table structure in the destination system.
Link app
Deal / Matter
monday CRM
Deal entity
1:1Link App matters or deals with a monetary value map to Monday CRM Deals. Deal name, value, stage, priority, and expected close date migrate. The Monday CRM Deal entity is built on a board item with Deal-specific columns preconfigured in the CRM workspace.
Link app
Pipeline
monday CRM
Monday CRM Sales Pipeline (board)
1:1Link App pipeline stages translate to Monday CRM Deal Status column values within the Deals board structure. Each distinct pipeline in Link App becomes a separate group within Monday's Deals board, faithfully preserving the original stage ordering, probability values, and enabling full Kanban-style visual pipeline management for the sales team.
Link app
Activity Log (Call / Message)
monday CRM
Activity Log (Call / Email)
1:1Link App call logs and message records migrate as Monday CRM activity entries with original timestamps, direction designation (inbound/outbound), call duration, and full content preserved. Each activity record links to the associated Person entity using Monday CRM's activity association model, maintaining the full communication context on each contact record.
Link app
Document / Attachment
monday CRM
File attachments on Person / Deal record
1:1Link App file attachments linked to contacts or matters are downloaded from storage and re-uploaded to Monday CRM, attached to the corresponding Person record or Deal item. Storage limits vary by plan — Monday CRM Pro includes 100GB total capacity while Standard provides 20GB for file storage.
Link app
Custom Property (Text / Number)
monday CRM
Custom Column (Text / Number)
1:1Link App custom properties migrate as custom columns in Monday CRM boards and items. Text-based properties become Text columns, numeric values become Numbers columns, and date fields become Date columns. Column ordering, grouping, and board layout structure are preserved to match the original configuration in Link App.
Link app
Custom Property (Dropdown)
monday CRM
Custom Column (Label / Dropdown)
1:1Link App dropdown (select) custom properties map to Monday CRM Label columns with matching option values. If a dropdown value from Link App does not exist in Monday CRM's label options, it is automatically created as a new label option during the migration process before records are imported.
Link app
User / Owner
monday CRM
Monday CRM User
1:1Link App owner assignments resolve by email match against Monday CRM users. Unmatched owners are flagged before migration runs — either the corresponding Monday user is provisioned first or records are assigned to a fallback owner selected by your team.
Link app
Workflow / Automation
monday CRM
None — rebuild required
1:1Link App workflows, notification rules, and case-status change triggers lack a direct Monday CRM equivalent at the migration API level. FlitStack exports complete workflow definitions as a structured reference document with trigger conditions, action specifications, and rule logic that your team uses to manually rebuild each automation in Monday's automation builder.
Link app
Integration connection
monday CRM
None — rebuild required
1:1Link App integrations with document-signing platforms, calendar applications, or legal-specific plugins cannot be exported or transferred between systems. Each integration requires manual reconnection in Monday CRM through the native Integrations settings panel, using Zapier webhooks, or configuring Make scenarios after the migration data load completes.
Link app
Communication Template
monday CRM
None — rebuild required
1:1Link App message templates and standardized response scripts do not migrate to Monday CRM's template library. Teams should export all template text and content from Link App before the migration window begins, then recreate them as Monday CRM email templates, document templates, or automation action text during the post-migration configuration phase.

Migration approach
Audit Link App data model and produce a mapping specification
FlitStack connects to Link App via API using read-only credentials and inventories every object: contacts, organizations, deals, activity logs, custom properties, and file attachments. We compare the Link App schema against Monday CRM's entity model and produce a migration specification document that lists every object, field, and custom property with its Monday CRM target column and mapping type. Your team reviews and approves the specification before any data moves.
Configure Monday CRM boards, columns, and user accounts
Before data moves, your Monday CRM workspace is configured with the boards, custom columns, and label options identified in the mapping specification. Owner email addresses are matched against Monday CRM users — unmatched owners are flagged so your team can either provision the user in Monday or assign records to a fallback owner. This step ensures the destination schema is ready before FlitStack begins the import phase.
Migrate organizations and people first, then deals and activities
Monday CRM's entity model requires Organizations (Companies) to exist before People can link to them, and People should be present before Deals can associate owners and linked contacts. FlitStack sequences the migration in dependency order: Companies first, then People with their Company links resolved, then Deals with owner and contact associations, then Activity records linked to their parent Person or Deal. This ordering prevents orphaned records and broken relationship links.
Run a sample migration with field-level diff before full commit
A representative slice — typically 200–500 records covering contacts, organizations, deals, and activities — migrates to Monday CRM first. FlitStack generates a field-level diff comparing the source values in Link App against the values written to Monday CRM for every mapped field. Your team reviews the diff to verify custom property mapping, owner resolution, and date preservation before the full migration is triggered.
Execute full migration with delta-pickup and one-click rollback
The full record set migrates to Monday CRM using batched API calls managed against Monday's rate limits. During the cutover window, a delta-pickup phase (24–48 hours) captures any records created or modified in Link App after the initial migration snapshot. FlitStack maintains a full audit log of every record written, including source record ID, destination ID, field values, and timestamp. If reconciliation reveals data integrity issues, one-click rollback reverts all Monday CRM records to the pre-migration state.
