Overview
Moving from OctopusPro to Monday.com CRM is a structural migration from a booking-lifecycle platform to a board-based CRM. OctopusPro organizes data around Customers, Bookings, Jobs, Field Workers, Invoices, and Services, while Monday.com CRM represents data as boards, groups, and items with custom fields and automations. We coordinate the export through OctopusPro support (no public API exists), transform the booking schema into Monday.com boards and item types, and map custom fields from OctopusPro's tenant-specific schema to Monday.com custom fields. We flag open billing disputes from OctopusPro's documented billing error history before migration begins and do not migrate the Customer Portal, Automations, or Forms as configurations. We deliver a written inventory of automation rules for your team to rebuild in Monday.com's automation builder.
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 OctopusPro 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.
OctopusPro
Customer
monday CRM
Contact (in Customer Relations board)
1:1OctopusPro Customer records (name, email, phone, address, notes, and custom fields) map to Monday.com CRM Contact items in a Customer Relations board. The contact record is created first so that Booking and Invoice items can reference it as a LookUp column. Tenant-specific custom fields from OctopusPro are discovered during scoping and mapped to Monday.com custom field columns (text, number, date, or dropdown) on the Contact item. Any custom field schema is unique per OctopusPro business and must be extracted from the support-assisted export before mapping.
OctopusPro
Booking
monday CRM
Item (in Bookings or Jobs board)
1:1OctopusPro Bookings are the central linking object connecting Customer, Field Worker, Service, time slot, status, and Invoice. We map Booking records to Monday.com items in a Bookings or Jobs board with LookUp columns pointing to the Customer contact item and the assigned Field Worker. Booking status (scheduled, in-progress, completed, cancelled) maps to a Status column in Monday.com. Historical timestamps (created date, scheduled date, completed date) migrate as date columns. The booking-service association migrates as a LookUp or item link to a Services board item.
OctopusPro
Invoice
monday CRM
Item (in Invoices board)
1:1OctopusPro Invoices are linked to Bookings and contain line items, tax, totals, and payment status. We map invoices to Monday.com items in an Invoices board with LookUp columns linking to the originating Customer and Booking. Invoice status (paid, unpaid, partial, voided) maps to a Status column. Line item details (description, quantity, unit price, total) are stored as subitems or as structured text in a long-text column. We preserve the full payment history including partial payments and refunds as separate subitem records or activity notes.
OctopusPro
Payment
monday CRM
Subitem or activity note on Invoice item
1:1OctopusPro Payment records (amount, method, date, status) map to Monday.com subitems on the linked Invoice item or as structured activity notes attached to the Invoice item. Payment method (card, cash, bank transfer) migrates as a dropdown column on the payment subitem. Partial payment scenarios produce multiple subitems against a single Invoice item, with a running total reflected in the parent Invoice item's paid-amount column.
OctopusPro
Field Worker
monday CRM
Team Member or Item (in Team board)
1:1OctopusPro Field Worker records (name, role, contact details, pay rates, GPS tracking preferences) map to Monday.com Team Members (if the worker is a Monday.com user) or to items in a Team board if the destination uses a staff directory rather than direct seat assignment. GPS tracking preferences and real-time location settings have no Monday.com CRM equivalent and cannot be migrated; these are noted as a gap in the migration scope. Field worker contact details map to standard text and email columns.
OctopusPro
Quote / Estimate
monday CRM
Item (in Quotes board)
1:1OctopusPro Quotes (pre-booking documents with line items, validity dates, and accept/reject status) map to Monday.com items in a Quotes board. Quote status (sent, accepted, rejected, expired) maps to a Status column. Validity dates migrate as date columns. Line item content migrates as subitems or structured text. Any linked Service references map via LookUp columns to the Services board. Accepted quotes that have progressed to a booking are cross-linked to the corresponding Booking item.
OctopusPro
Service
monday CRM
Item (in Services board)
1:1OctopusPro Service definitions (name, description, pricing rules, duration, service-area constraints) map to Monday.com items in a Services board. Service pricing, duration, and area constraints migrate as number, duration, and text columns. This board acts as a reference catalogue; Booking items link to Service items via LookUp to preserve the service association without duplicating service data across booking records.
OctopusPro
Custom Field (tenant-specific)
monday CRM
Custom field column
lossyOctopusPro custom fields on Customer profiles and Bookings (for example, pet health history in vet services or gate codes in field service) are tenant-specific and must be discovered from the support-assisted export before mapping. We request a full field inventory from OctopusPro support as part of the export process. Each discovered custom field maps to a Monday.com custom field column of the matching type (text, number, date, dropdown). Any custom field that has no Monday.com equivalent is flagged for the customer to decide whether to store as text or drop.

Migration approach
Scoping and support export coordination
We audit the OctopusPro account via the support-assisted export, discovering record counts across Customers, Bookings, Jobs, Invoices, Payments, Quotes, Services, and Field Workers. We submit the export request to OctopusPro support on the customer's behalf and request a full field inventory including any tenant-specific custom fields. We flag open billing disputes, account access restrictions, and any data that cannot be extracted from the export. The scoping output is a written migration scope with record counts, schema discovery notes, and a board-design plan for Monday.com.
Monday.com board design and schema mapping
We design the Monday.com CRM board structure based on the OctopusPro export. The base design includes a Customer Relations board (Contact items), a Bookings or Jobs board (Booking items with LookUp to Contacts and Field Workers), an Invoices board (Invoice items with LookUp to Contacts and Bookings), a Quotes board, a Services board, and a Team board. We configure custom field columns on each board to receive the discovered OctopusPro custom field schema, matching data types (text, number, date, dropdown) before any import begins. Schema is validated in a Monday.com sandbox.
Data extraction and transformation
We receive the OctopusPro export files (typically CSV or a structured format provided by OctopusPro support) and run a transformation pass. This includes standardizing date formats, resolving LookUp references (for example, linking each Booking to its parent Customer and Field Worker), splitting compound fields where necessary, and applying the custom field mapping discovered in step one. Any data quality issues (duplicate customers, incomplete records, invalid emails) are flagged to the customer for a deduplication or cleanup decision before import. We do not silently drop records due to data quality issues; we surface them and obtain direction.
Board population and LookUp resolution
We populate Monday.com boards in dependency order. Customer Relations board is populated first so that Bookings and Invoices can reference Contact items via LookUp columns. Services board is populated next as a reference catalogue. Field Workers are populated as Team items or board items. Bookings are populated with LookUp to Customer and Field Worker resolved at import time. Invoices and Payments are populated with LookUp to Customer and Booking resolved. Quotes are populated last with LookUp to Customer and Service. Each board emits a row-count reconciliation report confirming the count matches the OctopusPro export before the next board begins.
Cutover, validation, and automation inventory delivery
We freeze OctopusPro writes during the cutover window, run a final delta migration of any records modified during the migration, then set Monday.com CRM as the system of record. We deliver the automation inventory document listing every OctopusPro automation rule with its trigger, conditions, actions, and a recommended Monday.com automation equivalent. We do not rebuild automations in Monday.com within the migration scope; that work is handled by the customer's Monday.com admin or a certified Monday.com partner. We support a one-week hypercare window for reconciliation issues raised by the team.
