Overview
Mobile Service App typically stores data in a field-service-oriented object model with structured records for contacts, service locations, work orders, and asset tracking. Monday CRM replaces that structure with boards, items, and customizable columns — treating contacts as People items, companies as organizations, and service records as items on a board with columns configured to match your workflow. The migration carries all Mobile Service App records into Monday items while translating field names to Monday column types. The harder problems are mapping service-specific fields (like geo-coordinates or technician assignments) to Monday's generic column architecture, preserving activity history as item updates or comments, and rebuilding any field-service automations using Monday's recipe-based workflow engine. Monday's API rate limits (1,000 calls/day on Basic/Standard, 10,000 on Pro) constrain bulk migration throughput, so FlitStack sequences large record sets in batches and handles the delta-pickup window within those constraints. Custom fields from Mobile Service App become Monday custom columns — your admin configures column types after migration lands.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a Mobile Service 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.
Mobile Service App
Contact / Person
monday CRM
People Item (Person column type)
1:1Mobile Service App contacts migrate as Monday items of type Person. The Person column holds name, email, phone, and profile picture. Original contact IDs are stored in a custom column for traceability and delta-run de-duplication. This ensures you can trace each migrated record back to its source and reconcile any duplicates that may arise from repeated migration runs during the cutover window.
Mobile Service App
Company / Organization
monday CRM
Organization Item (Organization column type)
1:1Mobile Service App company records map directly to Monday Organization items. Monday's Organization column links people to organizations, maintaining the person-to-company relationship without duplicating records. Parent-company hierarchies and subsidiary structures map to the Organization's parent relationship field, preserving multi-level corporate structures during the migration.
Mobile Service App
Service Location / Site
monday CRM
Location Item or Address Column
1:1Mobile Service App stores service locations with address, geo-coordinates, and site-specific notes. These map to Monday's Location column (which renders a map pin) or as structured text columns for address components. Geo-coordinates require a custom Number column pair (latitude/longitude) since Monday's Location column does not expose raw coordinates for API export.
Mobile Service App
Work Order / Service Record
monday CRM
Item on Service Board
1:1Work orders become Monday items on a dedicated Service board. Each work order item is linked to the Customer (Person) and Site (Location) items using Monday's relation columns. Status field values map to Monday Status column values via value-mapping configuration.
Mobile Service App
Asset / Equipment
monday CRM
Item on Assets Board or subitem of Site
many:1Mobile Service App asset records (equipment serial numbers, maintenance history) merge into Monday items. If assets are tied to specific sites, they become subitems of the Site item; otherwise they land on a separate Assets board linked via relation columns.
Mobile Service App
Technician / Field Worker
monday CRM
Person Item (Team Member)
1:1Technician profiles from Mobile Service App map to Monday Person items with a Team Member column type. Monday user email addresses are matched against Mobile Service App owner emails so work orders route to the correct assignee in Monday's board view.
Mobile Service App
Service Activity / Visit Log
monday CRM
Item Updates and Comments
1:1Service visit records (arrival time, departure time, work performed, technician notes, and signature images) are translated into Monday item updates. Each service activity becomes a timestamped update with the technician's name attached as the author. Signature images are uploaded as file attachments on the item, preserving the audit trail for service completion verification.
Mobile Service App
Custom Fields (Service-Type Properties)
monday CRM
Custom Columns (Text, Number, Date, Dropdown)
1:1Mobile Service App custom fields (e.g., service category codes, SLA tier flags, routing rules) become Monday custom columns. FlitStack creates the column definitions in the target board and maps values per record. Your admin reviews and adjusts column types after migration lands.
Mobile Service App
Attachments / Photos
monday CRM
Files (attached to Monday items)
1:1Photos, PDFs, and documents attached to work orders or service records are re-uploaded to Monday's file storage and attached to the corresponding items. File size limits (25MB per file on Monday) are enforced; oversized files are flagged before the full run.
Mobile Service App
Workflows / Automation Rules
monday CRM
Monday Automations (Recipes)
1:1Mobile Service App workflow rules (routing logic, SLA escalation triggers, assignment rules) do not have a direct Monday equivalent. We export workflow definitions as a structured JSON document that your Monday admin uses as a rebuild reference when configuring automations in Monday's recipe builder.

Migration approach
Audit Mobile Service App data model and Monday board structure
FlitStack ingests the Mobile Service App data export (contacts, companies, work orders, assets, service activities) and maps it against a Monday board design. We identify custom field types in Mobile Service App, create corresponding Monday columns (Status, Date, Team Member, Relation, Location), and resolve foreign-key relationships (work orders to customers, assets to sites) before any records are written. This step produces a migration plan with field-level mapping confirmation.
Resolve technician and owner references by email
Mobile Service App owner and technician IDs are resolved against Monday user email addresses. This cross-reference determines whether each Mobile Service App owner has a corresponding Monday user account. Any owner without a matching Monday account is flagged before migration begins, giving your team time to either invite the user to Monday or assign records to a fallback owner. No work order or contact lands without a resolved assignee reference in Monday — unresolved references are reported in the pre-migration validation summary for your team to address.
Configure Monday boards and custom columns
Based on the mapping plan, FlitStack creates the target board structure in Monday — at minimum a Contacts board, a Companies/Organizations board, and a Work Orders board. Custom columns (Latitude, Longitude, SLA tier, service category) are created via the Monday API. Your Monday admin reviews the column configuration before records are ingested to ensure the column types match your workflow expectations.
Run a sample migration with field-level diff
A representative slice of records (typically 100–500 items spanning contacts, companies, work orders, and a few service activities) migrates first. FlitStack generates a field-level diff between the Mobile Service App source and the Monday destination so you can verify that status values map correctly, geo-coordinates land in the right columns, and technician assignments resolve to Monday users before the full run commits.
Execute full migration with delta-pickup window
The full record set is ingested in API-rate-limited batches. A delta-pickup window (typically 24–48 hours) captures any work orders or contacts modified in Mobile Service App during the cutover. FlitStack respects Monday's daily call limits and complexity budget throughout. After the full run, your team validates the Monday board data against source records. One-click rollback is available if reconciliation uncovers mapping errors or missing records.
