Overview
MotionOps stores customer data, job records, scheduling assignments, proposals, and invoices in a unified field-service model. Monday CRM represents all CRM entities as Items on Boards, with standard contact/lead columns and flexible custom columns for any non-standard property. The migration maps MotionOps contacts to Monday CRM Contact Items, companies to Organization Items, and jobs/work orders to Deal Items — with job status, assigned technician, and line-item amounts stored as Monday custom columns. MotionOps scheduling data converts to date and person columns on Monday Items. MotionOps proposals and invoices migrate as custom columns or linked Items, preserving amounts and status flags. FlitStack AI reads MotionOps via its API (using workspace API keys), normalizes the schema, and loads into Monday via the monday.com GraphQL API — respecting daily rate limits (1,000/day on Standard, 10,000/day on Pro). Workflows, automations, and QuickBooks sync configurations do not transfer and must be rebuilt in Monday's automation builder. A delta-pickup window captures any records modified during cutover before the account is decommissioned.
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 MotionOps 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.
MotionOps
Contact
monday CRM
Contact Item (Leads Board)
1:1MotionOps contacts map 1:1 to Monday CRM Contact Items. First name, last name, email, phone, and address fields map to Monday's standard Name and Email columns. Primary company link migrates as a Look-up column pointing to the Company Item. Owner resolves by email match against Monday workspace members.
MotionOps
Company
monday CRM
Organization Item (Companies Board)
1:1MotionOps companies map to Monday CRM Organization Items. Company name, domain/website, industry, employee count, and annual revenue migrate as Monday text, URL, dropdown, number, and currency columns respectively. Parent-company hierarchies in MotionOps convert to a Look-up column on the Organization Item pointing to the parent Organization.
MotionOps
Job / Work Order
monday CRM
Deal Item (Deals Board)
1:1MotionOps jobs are the core operational record. They map to Monday CRM Deal Items with job status stored as a Status column, assigned technician as a Person column, scheduled date and time as Date columns, and job description as a Long-text column. Job line items (materials, labor, equipment) become subitem rows on the Deal Item — Monday's subitem model supports quantity, unit price, and total per line.
MotionOps
Job Status
monday CRM
Monday Status Column (Deals Board)
1:1MotionOps job statuses (e.g., Scheduled, In Progress, Completed, Cancelled, On Hold) map value-by-value to Monday Status column options. We create Monday Status options that match MotionOps labels exactly so reporting continuity is preserved. Status-change timestamps from MotionOps job history migrate as a Date column for audit continuity.
MotionOps
Proposal
monday CRM
Deal Item (Proposals Board)
1:1MotionOps proposals map to Monday CRM Deal Items on a dedicated Proposals board. Proposal amount becomes the Deal Value column, linked contact/company uses Look-up columns, and proposal status (Draft, Sent, Accepted, Declined) maps to Monday Status column values. Notes and line items from the proposal migrate as Long-text and subitems respectively.
MotionOps
Invoice
monday CRM
Deal Item (Invoices Board) + custom columns
1:1MotionOps invoices map to Monday CRM Items with invoice number, total amount, balance due, and payment status stored as custom columns. Amount paid migrates as a currency column; payment date migrates as a Date column. Monday does not record partial payments natively — we store payment history as a Long-text custom column with structured text entries for each payment event.
MotionOps
Time Entry
monday CRM
Subitem rows on Deal Item (Jobs Board)
1:1MotionOps time entries linked to jobs migrate as subitems on the corresponding Deal Item. Each subitem row stores employee name (Look-up to Contact), hours worked (Number column), date, and time entry notes. Monday's native Time Tracking column on Items is not used because it does not support multi-entry per Item — subitems preserve the granular per-entry structure MotionOps provides.
MotionOps
Employee
monday CRM
Contact Item (Team Board)
1:1MotionOps employee records (technicians, office staff) with names, email addresses, phone numbers, and skill certifications map to Monday Contact Items on a Team board. Skills and certifications from MotionOps become multi-select or dropdown columns on the Contact Item. Employees who are also customers are represented once and board membership controls visibility.
MotionOps
Custom Fields
monday CRM
Custom Columns
1:1MotionOps custom fields on any object (contacts, companies, jobs) map to Monday CRM custom columns. The column type is chosen based on the source field type: text fields become Text columns, numeric fields become Number columns, date fields become Date columns, and pick-list fields become Dropdown columns. Multi-select fields in MotionOps map to Monday multi-select columns.
MotionOps
QuickBooks Sync Configuration
monday CRM
No equivalent in Monday CRM
1:1MotionOps QuickBooks Online synchronization settings — chart of accounts mapping, invoice sync rules, payment recording preferences — have no equivalent in Monday CRM. We document the QuickBooks configuration as a custom Long-text column on the relevant Items for reference, but the integration must be rebuilt using Monday's native integrations or a third-party connector like Zapier or Make.
MotionOps
File Attachment
monday CRM
Monday Files Column
1:1MotionOps file attachments on contacts, companies, and jobs re-upload to Monday CRM using the Files column type on the corresponding Item. Each file preserves its original filename and upload timestamp. Monday file size limits (250 MB per file on Pro and above) apply; files exceeding this are skipped and flagged in the migration report.

Migration approach
Audit MotionOps API and export all standard and custom objects
FlitStack AI authenticates against the MotionOps API using workspace API credentials. We pull all Contacts, Companies, Jobs, Proposals, Invoices, Time Entries, Employees, and custom fields in a single discovery pass. The MotionOps API returns paginated JSON with nested line-item objects for jobs and invoices. We validate record counts against MotionOps UI totals and flag any objects with missing required fields before transformation begins.
Design Monday CRM board structure and custom column schema
We create the target Monday CRM board architecture: a Contacts board, a Companies (Organizations) board, a Deals board for active jobs, a Proposals board, an Invoices board, and a Team board for employees. For each board, we pre-create the custom columns identified during the audit — Dropdown columns for pick-list values, Date columns for timestamps, Person columns for owner and technician assignment, and Long-text columns for MotionOps descriptions and notes. This schema plan is shared with your Monday admin for review before data loads begin.
Resolve owner and technician assignments by email match
Monday CRM requires a Person column value to be a member of the workspace. We match MotionOps owner_id and assigned_technician_id values against Monday workspace members by email address. Any MotionOps user who does not have a corresponding Monday account is flagged in the migration plan with a recommendation to invite them before migration or assign their records to a fallback Monday user. No Deal Item or Contact Item is created without a resolved owner, or a documented fallback assigned.
Run a sample migration on 100–500 records with field-level diff
We migrate a representative slice — typically 100–200 contacts, 50–100 companies, 100–200 jobs, and a sample of proposals and invoices — spanning multiple MotionOps users and job statuses. After insertion into Monday, we generate a field-level comparison report showing the source MotionOps value and the destination Monday column value for every mapped field. You review the diff to verify that job-status labels, owner assignments, and line-item counts landed correctly before we commit to the full run.
Execute full migration with delta-pickup window
The full migration runs in batches respecting Monday's daily API rate limits. We insert parent Items first (Contacts, Organizations, Deals), then subitems (job line items, time entries) as a second pass referencing the newly created parent Item IDs. A delta-pickup window of 24–48 hours opens at migration completion — any MotionOps record created or modified during this window is pulled in a final incremental pass. An audit log records every insert operation, and one-click rollback reverts the entire Monday workspace to its pre-migration state if reconciliation uncovers critical issues.
