Overview

What this migration involves

MyCase organizes legal practice data around Cases/Matters — a single object that bundles client, opposing counsel, case type, status, dates, billing, and documents in one record. Monday CRM has no native legal matter object; it models all data as items inside customizable boards, where each column functions as a field. The migration therefore translates MyCase's flat matter structure into a multi-board Monday workspace: contacts and companies land as Person and Organization items, case-matters become a dedicated custom board with columns mirroring MyCase case fields, tasks map as subitems, and time entries become custom subitem rows. We extract data from MyCase via the MyCase API (25 requests per second, Advanced tier required for full API access) and write into Monday via the monday.com GraphQL API subject to plan-tier rate limits (1,000 calls per day on Basic/Standard, 10,000 on Pro). MyCase workflows, automations, and billing logic have no Monday CRM equivalent and must be exported as reference documentation and rebuilt manually. Document files migrate to Monday's file columns or attachments, subject to plan-tier storage limits (5 GB Standard, 100 GB Pro). The migration runs in a sequenced, dependency-aware order — contacts and companies first, then cases as parent items, then tasks and time entries as subitems — with a delta-pickup window capturing any records modified during cutover.

Why teams make this switch

Two sides of the same decision

Leaving

MyCase

What's pushing teams away

  • QuickBooks integration syncs one direction only—deleting a transaction in MyCase does not remove it in QuickBooks, and the sync can get stuck, forcing manual reconciliation that solo practitioners find disruptive.
  • Users report missing billing features that mid-size firms require: inability to bulk-update rates on past time entries, limited flat-fee case management, and manual invoice adjustments across multiple sections.
  • UI changes between releases (especially around notifications and client message navigation) create friction for staff trained on earlier layouts, per Capterra and G2 reviews.
  • Advanced features including the open API are gated behind the $109/user/month Advanced tier, so growing firms hit feature ceilings on lower plans and face a pricing cliff.
  • Firms outgrowing the platform report that Clio's integration marketplace and enterprise features better support scaling case volume, which drives switchers toward larger legal CRMs.

Choosing

What's pulling them in

  • Users praise the board-based visual interface for making pipeline stages immediately legible to non-technical team members without CRM training.
  • The no-code automation builder lets sales ops teams create lead routing, stage updates, and email triggers without developer involvement.
  • Integration ecosystem connects to Slack, Gmail, Outlook, and Zapier with minimal configuration, reducing friction for teams already using these tools.
  • The flexible column system lets teams build custom CRM views — deal value, close date, lead source — without needing a developer or pre-defined schema.
  • Teams already using monday Work Management can layer CRM features onto existing boards rather than starting from scratch.

Object mapping

How MyCase objects map to monday CRM

Each row shows how a MyCase 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.

MyCase

Contact

maps to

monday CRM

Person (Contacts board)

1:1
Fully supported

MyCase contacts map directly to Monday Person items in a dedicated Contacts board. Each contact's name, email, phone, address, and custom properties become Monday columns. Primary company is stored as a connected board link to the Companies board. During migration, we preserve the original created date and source system ID for traceability and delta-run synchronization.

MyCase

Company

maps to

monday CRM

Organization (Companies board)

1:1
Fully supported

MyCase companies map to Monday Organization items. Company name, domain, address, industry, and employee count become Monday columns. Multi-contact associations from MyCase collapse to a primary contact link plus secondary contact subitems. We also preserve the original MyCase company ID as a custom column for cross-reference and to support future delta synchronizations between the systems.

MyCase

Case / Matter

maps to

monday CRM

Item (Matters board — custom board)

1:1
Fully supported

MyCase case-matters have no direct Monday CRM equivalent. Each matter migrates as an item in a dedicated custom board. Case number, status, type, responsible attorney, opposing counsel, court, case type, open date, and close date become Monday columns. A board-level connection links the matter to its client contact item.

MyCase

Task / To-Do

maps to

monday CRM

Subitem (under Matter item)

1:1
Fully supported

MyCase tasks associated with a matter migrate as subitems under the corresponding Matter item in Monday. Task title, due date, priority, assigned user, status, and description map to subitem columns. Orphan tasks without a parent matter land in a separate Tasks board.

MyCase

Time Entry

maps to

monday CRM

Subitem (Time Entries sub-board or custom column)

1:1
Fully supported

MyCase time entries map to a dedicated sub-board or subitem rows under each Matter item. Entry date, duration, billing rate, description, and invoiced status map to Monday columns. Since Monday has no native billing engine, time entries are preserved as historical data; the billing workflow must be rebuilt in Monday or handled externally.

MyCase

Document / File

maps to

monday CRM

File column / Attachment

1:1
Fully supported

MyCase documents stored in MyCase Drive migrate as file attachments on the corresponding Matter item in Monday. Each document's name, upload date, and uploader are preserved. Monday's plan-tier storage limits apply — Standard has 5 GB total account storage; Pro has 100 GB.

MyCase

Activity / Note

maps to

monday CRM

Update / Note column

1:1
Fully supported

MyCase activity log entries (calls, emails, notes, meetings) attached to a matter become Monday updates or note column entries on the Matter item. Original timestamp, user, and activity type are preserved in the update metadata. This allows your team to review the full communication history within Monday's activity feed for each matter.

MyCase

Custom Field

maps to

monday CRM

Column (custom column type)

1:1
Fully supported

MyCase custom fields on contacts, companies, and cases require Monday column types. Where a direct Monday column type exists (date, number, text, person, status, checkbox), it is created automatically. Fields using MyCase formula logic or unsupported types are stored as text columns and flagged for manual verification post-migration.

MyCase

User / Owner

maps to

monday CRM

Person (Team Members)

1:1
Fully supported

MyCase firm users are matched to Monday team members by email address. A person item is created in the Contacts board for each matched user, and the MyCase Owner ID maps to Monday's Assigned To column. Unmatched owners are flagged before migration — the firm either creates their Monday account first or reassigns records to a fallback user.

MyCase

Workflow / Automation

maps to

monday CRM

No equivalent

1:1
Fully supported

MyCase workflows, task templates, and automations tied to matter lifecycle stages do not have a Monday CRM equivalent. We export the workflow definitions as a structured reference document for the firm's Monday admin to rebuild using Monday's automation recipes. This step is always manual.

MyCase

Billing / Invoice

maps to

monday CRM

No equivalent (preserve as reference data)

1:1
Fully supported

MyCase invoices, trust account entries, and IOLTA records have no native Monday CRM equivalent. We preserve invoice and payment history as custom subitem rows on Matter items and flag the full billing workflow as requiring an external tool or Monday's optional invoice module setup post-migration.

Pair-specific challenges

  • Monday's native import column type limitation requires post-import board setup

    Monday's CSV and native import tools only support a fixed set of column types — text, number, date, checkbox, and a few others. MyCase custom fields that use advanced types (formula fields, linked record fields, multi-select) do not have a direct import equivalent in Monday. We import these fields as Text columns during the initial load and flag them for manual column-type upgrade after migration. The migration plan identifies every affected field so your Monday admin can convert the column type before go-live. This prevents data loss but requires a post-migration configuration step that must be completed before the board goes live.

  • Monday API rate limits constrain migration throughput for large firms

    Monday CRM enforces daily API call limits by plan tier: Free/Trial at 200 calls/day, Basic/Standard at 1,000 calls/day, Pro at 10,000 calls/day (soft limit), and Enterprise at 25,000 calls/day. MyCase's API rate limit is 25 requests per second on the Advanced tier. For a law firm with 10,000+ records to migrate, this mismatch means the Monday side is the bottleneck — the migration must batch across multiple days or your firm coordinates a temporary rate limit increase with Monday's support team before the migration window opens. We surface this constraint during planning and advise on whether your current plan tier is sufficient or requires an upgrade.

  • Monday file storage limits may require selective or compressed document migration

    Monday CRM file storage is plan-tiered: Standard plans include 5 GB of total account storage; Pro plans include 100 GB. MyCase Drive stores case documents without a published per-firm storage cap. Firms with large document libraries — particularly litigation firms with thousands of court filings, correspondence, and exhibits — may exceed Monday's storage limits on lower plan tiers. We audit document volume during discovery and advise whether a Pro upgrade or selective document migration (prioritizing active matters, compressing large PDFs) is needed before migration. Archived documents can be migrated to a separate document management integration post-migration.

  • MyCase billing and invoice history requires a separate rebuild strategy

    MyCase's integrated billing engine — including time entries, invoice generation, IOLTA trust accounting, and QuickBooks sync — has no native Monday CRM equivalent. While we preserve time entry history as subitem rows within each Matter board, invoice records, trust balances, and the full billing workflow must be rebuilt either in Monday's optional invoice module or retained in MyCase for historical billing reference. We flag every billing-related field during discovery so the firm can decide whether to archive MyCase for billing continuity, migrate time entries as reference data only, or invest in Monday's invoice module configuration as part of the post-migration setup.

Migration approach

Six steps for a successful MyCase to monday CRM data migration

  1. Discover and audit MyCase data model

    We connect to MyCase via API (Advanced tier required for full export) and extract all contacts, companies, case-matters, tasks, time entries, documents, custom fields, and user records. We audit record counts, data quality (duplicate detection, blank required fields), and identify any billing-related fields. This phase produces the migration scope document that defines board structure, column types, and migration sequencing before any data moves.

  2. Design Monday workspace and column mapping plan

    We create the Monday workspace structure: a Contacts board, a Companies board, and a custom Matters board with columns mapped from MyCase case-matters. Each custom field is mapped to a Monday column type — direct mappings are created automatically; unsupported types become Text columns with a flag for post-migration column-type upgrade. MyCase users are mapped to Monday team members by email; unmatched users are flagged for your team to resolve before migration.

  3. Run sample migration with field-level diff

    A representative slice of 50–100 records — spanning contacts, companies, matters across different case types, and a mix of custom field types — migrates first. We generate a field-level diff comparing source values against Monday item values so your team can verify case-status mapping, attorney owner resolution, and custom field preservation before the full run commits. Issues discovered here are corrected in the mapping plan before the full migration.

  4. Execute full migration with delta-pickup window

    The full dataset migrates into the Monday workspace in dependency-aware sequence: contacts and companies first, then matters as parent items, then tasks and time entries as subitems. A delta-pickup window (24–48 hours) captures any new or modified MyCase records created during the cutover window. Documents are uploaded to Monday file columns or as item attachments. Workflow definitions are exported as a structured reference document for your Monday admin to rebuild.

  5. Validate, deliver audit log, and confirm go-live readiness

    We generate a post-migration audit report: record counts by object, field completeness percentages, any unmapped or flagged fields, and storage usage against Monday plan limits. We walk through the report with your firm, confirm all ownership assignments, and verify that the flagged custom column types have been upgraded. One-click rollback remains available for 48 hours after migration completion if reconciliation reveals unexpected gaps.

Platform deep dives

Context on both ends of the pair

Source

Strengths

  • All-in-one practice management combines case files, client comms, billing, and docs in a single platform.
  • Client portal with secure document sharing reduces reliance on third-party file-sharing tools.
  • Built-in texting and e-signature are included at all tiers, avoiding per-transaction fees.
  • Workflow automation auto-generates tasks and calendared deadlines on new case creation.
  • AffiniPay parentage ties payments tightly to practice management through LawPay integration.

Weaknesses

  • Open API and advanced document management require the Advanced tier at $109/user/month.
  • One-way QuickBooks sync means billing deletions in MyCase must be manually voided in QuickBooks.
  • Cannot bulk-update rates on past time entries—each record requires individual editing.
  • UI changes between releases have caused navigation friction, especially around notifications.
  • Document automation templates are tied to the original creator's machine and cannot be exported.

Strengths

  • Board-based UI makes pipeline stages and deal progress visually obvious without training.
  • No-code automation builder requires no developer resources to create lead routing and stage-triggered actions.
  • Flexible column system supports custom CRM fields without schema changes or admin involvement.
  • Integrates natively with Slack, Gmail, Outlook, and Zapier with minimal configuration overhead.
  • Layered product means teams already on monday Work Management can add CRM without migrating existing data.

Weaknesses

  • No native Contacts object separate from Items — contacts are managed inside a CRM module's People feature.
  • Pipeline and deal relationships use a flat item model rather than a relational object model, making complex CRM associations awkward.
  • Automations are plan-gated (250 actions/month on Standard, 25,000 on Pro) and the legacy Recipe system is being deprecated.
  • Customization and advanced views (Chart, Formula, Dependency) are locked behind Pro and Enterprise tiers.
  • Per-seat pricing with non-refundable annual billing creates cost lock-in risk during migration.

The technical migration window runs 3–5 business days for under 5,000 records. Larger firms with 5,000+ records, complex billing history, or 50+ custom fields typically require 2–4 weeks including planning, column-type setup, and validation. Monday API rate limits on Basic and Standard plans (1,000 calls/day) are the primary throughput constraint for large record volumes. We surface any plan-tier limitations during discovery so your firm can upgrade before migration begins.
