Overview
Oncourse CRM uses a flat contact structure where organization names live as a Contact property rather than a distinct Account object, while Monday.com CRM models data as board Items grouped under columns. We resolve this schema gap by extracting organization values during transform, creating Monday.com Company records before Contact import, and linking Deals to the correct Company via Monday.com's relation system. Activity history in Oncourse CRM stores as notes rather than structured activity records, which we surface during scoping so the customer can decide whether to migrate the content as note Items or archive it. Pipeline stages migrate as board columns, and task assignments resolve to Monday.com Assignee fields. We do not migrate automations or workflow rules as code; we deliver a written map of every Oncourse CRM workflow with a Monday.com automation equivalent for the customer's admin to rebuild post-migration.
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 Oncourse CRM 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.
Oncourse CRM
Lead
monday CRM
CRM Item (Lead type)
1:1Oncourse CRM Lead records map directly to Monday.com CRM Items within a dedicated Leads board. We preserve the lead source and status as Monday.com column values (Status, Dropdown, or Tags column types). The lead creation date migrates as a Date column, and any lead score or rating value maps to a Number column. Conversion from Lead to Contact in Oncourse CRM requires a manual decision during scoping on whether to create a new Monday.com CRM Item or convert the existing one.
Oncourse CRM
Contact
monday CRM
CRM Item (Contact type)
1:1Oncourse CRM Contact records map to Monday.com CRM Items in the Contacts board. Name, email, phone, and address fields map to Monday.com Text and Contact Info column types. The organization name stored as a Contact property is extracted and held for Company creation before Contact insert. We apply duplicate detection by email match during import to prevent duplicate CRM Items.
Oncourse CRM
Organization (Contact property)
monday CRM
Company
1:manyOncourse CRM stores organization names as a Contact property rather than a distinct Account object. We extract every distinct organization value from Contact records, deduplicate by normalized name, and create Monday.com Company records before Contact import. Each Contact Item then links to its parent Company via Monday.com's relation column. Contacts that have no organization value remain as standalone CRM Items with no Company link.
Oncourse CRM
Deal
monday CRM
CRM Item (Deal type)
1:1Oncourse CRM Deals map to Monday.com CRM Items in a Deals or Opportunities board. Deal name, value, and stage migrate as Text, Number, and Status columns respectively. The deal owner maps to Monday.com's Assignee column by resolving the Oncourse CRM owner email to a Monday.com team member. We preserve the deal creation date and last modified date as Date columns for pipeline age analysis.
Oncourse CRM
Pipeline Stage
monday CRM
Board Column (Status group)
lossyOncourse CRM pipelines have customizable stage names per account. We extract the customer's active stage names and create corresponding Status columns in Monday.com CRM boards, with each status value mapped to its Oncourse CRM equivalent. Stage probability percentages are stored as a Number column if the customer requires them for forecasting. Stage ordering in Monday.com reflects the pipeline sequence from Oncourse CRM.
Oncourse CRM
Task
monday CRM
Subitem or linked Item
1:1Oncourse CRM Tasks associated with Deals map to Monday.com Subitems on the corresponding Deal Item, with task name as Subitem title, due date as Date column, and status reflected in the Subitem status. Standalone Tasks without a Deal link become Items in a Tasks board with an optional relation link back to the Contact or Company. Task assignment resolves to Monday.com Assignee by owner email lookup.
Oncourse CRM
Note (activity)
monday CRM
Update or Item
lossyOncourse CRM stores activity history as notes rather than structured activity records. We surface this data-shape difference during scoping and offer two options: migrate note content as Monday.com Updates on the parent Item (preserving the timeline context but not queryable), or create separate Note Items in a dedicated board (queryable but breaking timeline context). The customer chooses the strategy. We do not convert Oncourse notes to Monday.com structured activity records because Monday.com CRM does not expose a structured activity object API equivalent to HubSpot engagements or Salesforce Tasks.
Oncourse CRM
Custom Field
monday CRM
Custom Column
lossyOncourse CRM custom fields on Contacts, Leads, and Deals are exposed via the onCourse DSL export. We map each to the nearest Monday.com column type: text fields to Text columns, numeric fields to Number columns, date fields to Date columns, and dropdown-style fields to Dropdown or Tags columns. Multi-select custom fields map to Tags columns. Dependencies between custom fields in Oncourse CRM may require manual recreation as Monday.com column dependencies.

Migration approach
Discovery and data audit
We audit the Oncourse CRM account across record types (Leads, Contacts, Deals, Tasks, custom fields), active pipeline names, workflow rules, and note volume. We export a complete record count for each object as the verification baseline. We also assess whether any organization values are missing, inconsistent, or stored with formatting issues (extra spaces, case variations) that will affect Company deduplication in Monday.com. The discovery output is a written migration scope with record counts, field mapping draft, and a Company-creation sequencing plan.
Schema design and column mapping
We design the Monday.com CRM board structure: a Contacts board, a Companies board (populated from the extracted organization values), a Deals board with Status columns matching the Oncourse CRM pipeline stages, and a Tasks board or Subitems structure. Custom fields from Oncourse CRM map to Monday.com column types. We configure the relation column between Contacts and Companies before any record import begins. The board structure is validated in a Monday.com test workspace before production migration.
Organization extraction and Company creation
We run the organization extraction transform on the exported Oncourse CRM Contact records. We normalize organization names (trim whitespace, standardize case), deduplicate, and create Monday.com Company records via the Monday.com API. Each Company receives a unique ID that is stored as a lookup map for Contact linking. This step must complete successfully before Contact import because the relation column on Contacts references the Company ID.
Contact and Lead import with relation resolution
We import Leads first as CRM Items in a dedicated Leads board, then Contacts as CRM Items in the Contacts board. Each Contact record receives the relation link to its parent Company via the lookup map created in Step 3. Email-based duplicate detection runs during import to flag potential duplicates for the customer's admin to resolve before the next phase. Owner email values resolve to Monday.com team member assignments via a user lookup table.
Deal and Task migration in dependency order
We import Deals with the stage name mapped to the corresponding Monday.com Status column value, monetary value mapped to a Number column, and owner assigned via Assignee column. Tasks associated with Deals migrate as Subitems on the parent Deal Item. Standalone Tasks without a Deal association migrate as Items in a Tasks board with an optional relation link to the originating Contact. Note records migrate per the customer's chosen strategy (Updates or standalone Items). Each phase emits a row-count reconciliation report.
Cutover, validation, and automation handoff
We freeze writes to Oncourse CRM during cutover, run a final delta migration of any records modified during the migration window, then set Monday.com CRM as the system of record. We validate record counts across all boards, spot-check 20-30 records against the Oncourse CRM source, and confirm Company-Contact-Deal relations are intact. We deliver the written automation inventory document to the customer's admin team for Monday.com automation rebuild. We provide a one-week hypercare window for reconciliation issues raised by the sales team.
