Migrate from NextCRM to monday CRM

NextCRM Contact records map directly to Monday.com People entities. We extract contact first name, last name, email, phone, address, and custom field values during the export phase and insert them as Monday.com People using the monday.com API. Custom field values map to Monday.com custom fields using type inference: text fields to TEXT columns, numeric fields to NUMBER columns, date fields to DATE columns, and boolean fields to CHECKBOX columns. Email address serves as the dedupe key to prevent duplicate People records during import.

NextCRM Company records map to Monday.com Groups within the CRM board or to the Organization field on People records depending on the customer's data model preference. We extract company name, domain, industry, employee count, and address fields and map them to the corresponding Monday.com columns. Company records are created first so that the Organization relationship resolves at People insert time. If Monday.com Organizations feature is enabled on the destination account, we create Organization records and link People to them; otherwise we use a Group-based model with the group name matching the company name.

NextCRM Deal records map to Monday.com Items on CRM boards. The deal name becomes the Item name, deal amount maps to a NUMBER column, dealstage maps to a STATUS column representing pipeline stages, and pipeline assignment maps to a separate board or a Board View filter. We configure the board columns to match NextCRM's deal stage labels before migration so that Deals land in the correct pipeline status on day one. Closed-Lost and Closed-Won deal outcomes map to corresponding Monday.com status column values.

NextCRM Tags map to Monday.com Labels on People and Item records. We extract all distinct tag values from Contact, Company, and Deal records, create the corresponding Labels in Monday.com, and then attach the label references during record insert using the monday.com Labels API. Multi-value tag assignments on a single record (a Contact with five tags) map to multiple Monday.com Labels on the People entity. The label color inherits from NextCRM's tag color if available; otherwise we assign a default palette.

NextCRM List membership and Advanced Segmentation rules do not have a direct Monday.com equivalent because Monday.com uses Groups and filtered Board Views instead of standalone contact lists. We migrate list membership as Groups: each NextCRM list becomes a Monday.com Group within the CRM board. For Advanced Segmentation rules that use behavioral conditions (engagement-based, revenue-attribution-based), we document the rule logic in a segmentation inventory so the customer's admin can recreate equivalent Board Views or Segments in Monday.com using the filter and grouping capabilities.

NextCRM Custom Field definitions and their values migrate to Monday.com custom columns. We map NextCRM custom field types to Monday.com column types during the schema design phase: text fields to TEXT columns, dropdown fields to DROPDOWN or INTEGRATION columns, numeric fields to NUMBER columns with precision matching, date fields to DATE columns, and checkbox fields to CHECKBOX columns. Long-text NextCRM fields map to LONG_TEXT columns. The custom column is created in Monday.com before record migration begins, and values insert using the monday.com API column_value endpoint.

NextCRM Campaign records represent email marketing campaigns with audience lists and send history. We migrate campaign structure (name, description, target audience list membership) as a Board in Monday.com with the audience Contacts linked as Items or via an Integromat/Zapier integration to a connected email platform. Active campaign sends must pause during migration to avoid duplicate sends; we document the campaign status and audience so the customer can re-launch from Monday.com-connected email tools or native Monday.com WorkEmail after migration.

NextCRM Owner records map to Monday.com Team Members. We extract distinct owner IDs from Contact, Company, and Deal records and match them by email against the Monday.com workspace members. Any NextCRM Owner without a matching Monday.com Team Member goes to a reconciliation queue for the customer's admin to provision the User before record import resumes. Owner assignments on Deals map to the Item assignee column in Monday.com. If NextCRM uses WordPress user roles as owners, we map those to Monday.com team members by email lookup during scoping.
