Overview
Mobile-worker platforms are built around field dispatch, work orders, and mobile time-tracking — they treat contacts as a secondary concern attached to service records. monday CRM flips that model: contacts and organizations live in dedicated People entities, and field operations become custom board items with columns you configure. FlitStack AI bridges the two by extracting worker records, their associated company records, work order histories, and attachments from the source API and restructuring that data into monday's People and board-item architecture. The migration carries all standard fields (names, emails, phone numbers, addresses, status values, priority levels, scheduling windows, quoted amounts) into Monday's matching column types. Custom fields from the source — anything stored as free-form text, multi-select tags, or nested JSON — map to Monday's custom column types, provided your Monday plan supports the column type you need. Status values that were free-text in the source normalize to Monday's Status column by pre-mapping every distinct value before the bulk import. We do not migrate automations, integrations, or billing logic from the source — those must be rebuilt in Monday's automation builder. We do migrate files and attachments, re-uploading them to Monday's file storage. Our API extraction uses the source's REST or bulk-export endpoint; Monday receives the data via CSV import for custom boards and direct API writes for People entities. A 24–48 hour delta window captures any records created or updated during the cutover so Monday reflects the final source state at go-live.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a Mobile Worker 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 Worker
Worker / Field Worker
monday CRM
People (Contact)
1:1Each worker record in the source maps to a monday CRM People entry. Monday stores the name, email, phone, and address fields natively in People. The worker's source ID is preserved as a custom field for traceability and delta-run deduplication.
Mobile Worker
Organization / Client Company
monday CRM
Organization
1:1Client company records map directly to monday CRM Organizations. Monday stores company name, domain, industry, employee count, and address natively. Multi-location companies from the source where each site is a separate record collapse to one Organization with a Locations column added in Monday.
Mobile Worker
Work Order
monday CRM
Board Item (custom board)
1:1Work orders become items on a dedicated Monday board. The board's columns replicate the work order fields (status, priority, scheduled date, assigned worker, quoted amount, completion date). Monday board items support subitems — if the source stores line items or parts used per order, those map to subitems on the corresponding board item.
Mobile Worker
Service Visit / Activity Log
monday CRM
Board Item Updates
1:1Visit notes, field annotations, and activity log entries from the source migrate as Updates on the corresponding board item in Monday. Monday preserves the original timestamp and author of each update so the field narrative stays intact on the migrated record.
Mobile Worker
Worker Availability / Schedule Window
monday CRM
Custom Column (Date/Time or Timeline)
1:1Source availability windows (days of week, start/end time ranges) map to custom columns on the Worker board or as custom fields on the People entity. Monday's Timeline column type supports start/end pairs natively; discrete date ranges use two separate Date columns.
Mobile Worker
Worker Skills / Certifications
monday CRM
Custom Column (Tags or Country)
1:1Skill tags and certification flags from the source map to Monday Tags columns on the Worker board. Each distinct skill value becomes a Monday tag. If the source stores certification expiry dates alongside the flag, those dates map to a secondary Date column on the same board.
Mobile Worker
Vehicle / Equipment Assignment
monday CRM
Custom Column (Text or Number)
1:1Vehicle ID, equipment tag, or asset number from the source maps to a text or number column on the Work Order board in Monday. Monday has no native vehicle entity, so this data stores as a labeled column — your admin can add a vehicle lookup integration later if needed.
Mobile Worker
Attachment / Photo
monday CRM
Monday File Upload
1:1Photos, signed forms, and PDF attachments associated with work orders re-upload to Monday's file storage and link to the corresponding board item. Monday's per-seat storage applies — Pro plans include 100GB per workspace. Large attachments or high-volume uploads may require a storage review before migration.
Mobile Worker
Lead / Prospect Record
monday CRM
People (Contact) + Board Item
many:1If the source stores both field workers and prospective clients in the same worker table, FlitStack splits by a type/status flag: client-type records go to monday CRM People; worker-type records go to the Worker board. A Source_Type__c custom column on People distinguishes the origin record type.
Mobile Worker
Quote / Estimate
monday CRM
Board Item Column (Numbers) + Monday Invoices
1:1Quoted amounts, estimated labor costs, and material totals from the source map to number columns on the Work Order board in Monday. If the source has a structured quote line-item table, those lines migrate as subitems on the board item. Monday's native Invoices feature can be connected post-migration for formal quoting.
Mobile Worker
Status / Stage Value
monday CRM
Status Column
1:1Source status pick-list values (Assigned, En Route, On-Site, Completed, Cancelled) are pre-mapped to Monday's Status column values before bulk import. If the source stores status as free-form text rather than a pick-list, every distinct value is extracted, deduplicated, and mapped to a Monday Status value or a separate custom column — whichever matches your team's intended workflow.
Mobile Worker
Dispatcher / Manager
monday CRM
People (Contact) + Board Owner
1:1Dispatcher and manager records identified by role flag in the source migrate to monday CRM People. Their Monday user account (matched by email) becomes the board owner or item assignee on Work Order boards they manage. Unmatched dispatcher emails are flagged before migration so your admin can provision Monday accounts first.

Migration approach
Discovery: audit source records and plan Monday workspace structure
FlitStack extracts a full record inventory from the source API — worker profiles, company records, work order history, attachments, and any custom fields. We generate a data volume report showing record counts per entity, distinct status values that require normalization, custom field types, and total attachment size. Based on this, we produce a Monday workspace plan: which boards to create, which column types to configure, and whether any Monday plan upgrades are required for gated column types. Your team reviews and approves the plan before any data moves.
Configure Monday boards and column types
With the workspace plan approved, FlitStack creates the Monday boards (Worker board, Work Order board, and any additional boards for line items or equipment) and configures all column types — Status, Labels, Date, Number, Location, Tags, and any custom columns needed for source custom fields. We use the Monday API to create boards and columns programmatically, matching the column order and naming from the source. This step runs before any data import so the destination schema is ready when the migration run begins.
Run sample migration with field-level diff
A representative slice — typically 200–500 records spanning workers, organizations, work orders, and a few attachments — migrates first. FlitStack generates a field-level diff comparing source values to the Monday records, verifying that status value-mapping is correct, worker-to-board-item linking resolves properly, and date columns populate as expected. You review the diff and flag any field mappings that need adjustment before the full run commits. Monday API rate-limit pacing is calibrated during this step based on your plan's daily call budget.
Full migration run with delta-pickup window
The complete dataset migrates to Monday — workers and organizations via the People API, work orders via bulk CSV import to the configured boards. Source automations export as a structured reference document for your Monday admin to rebuild. During the cutover, FlitStack maintains scoped read-only access to the source so your team continues working without interruption. A 24–48 hour delta window after the initial run captures any new work orders, status changes, or worker updates made in the source during the cutover and applies them to Monday before final sign-off.
Reconciliation, rollback plan, and post-migration handoff
After the delta window closes, FlitStack runs a reconciliation report comparing Monday record counts and key field totals (status distribution, worker count, total quoted amounts) against the source. If reconciliation reveals discrepancies, the one-click rollback reverts Monday to the pre-migration state while your team decides on the correction path. We deliver the full audit log of migration operations, the automation rebuild reference document, and a handoff call with your Monday admin covering board ownership, permission setup, and any remaining configuration steps.
