Overview
Moving from OptifiNow to Monday.com CRM is a structural migration that requires translating a relational CRM data model into a board-and-item architecture. OptifiNow stores Contacts, Accounts, Opportunities, and custom objects with standard relational links; Monday.com CRM uses board items, people entities (Contacts and Companies), and deal pipelines as its primary records. We begin every OptifiNow migration with a mandatory discovery phase because OptifiNow's schema is not publicly documented and tenant-specific custom fields must be enumerated before we can scope field mapping. We map Opportunities to Monday.com Deal boards with stage mapping to Status columns, preserve activity history as linked item activity, and deliver a written automation inventory for your admin to rebuild in Monday.com's Automations tool. Workflows, marketing sequences, and process definitions do not migrate as executable code; we document them for rebuild. Monday.com CRM pricing is public ($12-$28 per seat per month billed annually), making renewal planning predictable compared to OptifiNow's opaque enterprise tiers with undocumented overage charges.
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 OptifiNow 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.
OptifiNow
Contact
monday CRM
People (Contact record)
1:1OptifiNow Contacts with name, email, phone, and custom fields map to Monday.com People Contact records. Email maps to Email field type, phone maps to Phone field type, and custom fields map to Monday.com Contact column types or custom fields on the People entity. We resolve the owner assignment using email-match against Monday.com Team Members and flag any Contacts without a matching assignee for manual assignment.
OptifiNow
Account
monday CRM
People (Company record)
1:1OptifiNow Account records map to Monday.com People Company records. Company name maps to Company Name, domain maps to Website, and industry/sector maps to a custom text or dropdown field. We link Contact records to their parent Company during migration using Monday.com's People entity relationship so that Contact-Company linkage is preserved after cutover.
OptifiNow
Opportunity
monday CRM
Deal (board item)
1:1OptifiNow Opportunities map to Monday.com Deal board items. The deal name, value (Amount), expected close date, and probability migrate to Deal Name, Dollar Value, Close Date, and a custom probability column. The pipeline stage maps to a Monday.com Status column (one Status column per OptifiNow pipeline stage), and the pipeline name maps to the Deal board name or a Group within the board.
OptifiNow
Pipeline Stage
monday CRM
Status Column values
lossyEach OptifiNow deal pipeline with its stage names maps to a Monday.com Deal board with a Status column that we configure with matching stage labels. Probability percentages per stage migrate as a numeric column. We preserve the stage order and closed-won/closed-lost states using Status column color coding and labels.
OptifiNow
Lead
monday CRM
People (Contact) or Deal board item
1:manyOptifiNow Leads may have custom routing rules and status fields that differ from the standard Contact lifecycle. We map Leads to Monday.com People records if they represent a person entity, and we create a separate Deal board item if the Lead is opportunity-weighted and the customer wants to track it as a pipeline entry. The split decision is confirmed during discovery based on how the customer uses OptifiNow Leads.
OptifiNow
User / Owner
monday CRM
Team Member
1:1OptifiNow Owner records with name, email, role, and territory assignment map to Monday.com Team Members. We match by email address. Any OptifiNow Owner without a matching Monday.com Team Member is held in a reconciliation queue for the customer's admin to provision before record import begins.
OptifiNow
Activity: Call
monday CRM
Activity item on Deal board or custom Activity board
1:1OptifiNow call logs with duration, disposition, date, and linked contact migrate to Monday.com items on a custom Activity board linked to the relevant Deal board item via Connect board or a Link column. We preserve the timestamp, duration (in minutes), and disposition notes as item fields.
OptifiNow
Activity: Email
monday CRM
Activity item or Email column
1:1OptifiNow email engagements migrate to Monday.com Activity items with Subject, body, timestamp, and direction (sent/received) as text fields. If the customer uses Gmail or Outlook integration post-migration, we recommend linking the email activity feed directly rather than migrating historical emails as static items.
OptifiNow
Custom Object
monday CRM
Custom Object or board-based item
1:1OptifiNow custom objects (with undocumented API schema) migrate to Monday.com Custom Objects using static or dynamic schema depending on field complexity. We define the Custom Object subfields during discovery, configure the schema in the Monday.com Developer Center, and migrate records via Monday.com's API. If the custom object includes lookup relationships to OptifiNow Contacts or Accounts, we resolve the parent record reference and link via Monday.com Connect board relationships.

Pair-specific challenges
Migration approach
Discovery and Monday.com edition selection
We audit the source OptifiNow tenant via API exploration and live walkthrough, enumerating all custom fields, custom objects, pipeline configurations, stage names, owner assignments, and engagement volume. Because OptifiNow's schema is not publicly documented, this phase is mandatory and cannot be shortened. We pair this with a Monday.com CRM edition review (Basic $12, Standard $17, Pro $28 per user per month) to confirm the destination tier supports the migrated feature set. The discovery output is a written migration scope with field-level mapping and Monday.com edition recommendation.
Monday.com workspace and board design
We design the Monday.com workspace structure: a People board for Contacts and Companies (using Monday.com's native People entities), a Deal board per OptifiNow pipeline with Status columns mapped to OptifiNow stage names, and optionally a Products board and a custom Activity board for engagement history. We configure Custom Objects in the Monday.com Developer Center using static or dynamic schema based on the discovered OptifiNow custom object complexity. Board design is validated in a test workspace before any data moves.
Test migration and reconciliation
We run a full test migration using a subset of production data into a Monday.com test workspace. The customer reconciles record counts, spot-checks field mappings on 25-50 random records, and confirms that deal pipeline stage mapping reflects their actual sales process. Any field mapping corrections, missing custom field additions, or pipeline stage adjustments happen in this phase. We do not proceed to production migration without customer sign-off on the test migration output.
Owner reconciliation and Team Member provisioning
We extract every distinct OptifiNow Owner referenced on Contacts, Accounts, Deals, and Activities and match by email against the Monday.com destination workspace's Team Members. Owners without a matching Monday.com user go to a reconciliation queue for the customer's admin to provision. We cannot map OwnerId references without matching Team Members, so this step gates the production migration start.
Production migration in dependency order
We run production migration in dependency order: Team Members (provisioned and validated), People Company records (from OptifiNow Accounts), People Contact records (from OptifiNow Contacts with parent Company linked), Deal board items (from OptifiNow Opportunities with stage mapped to Status column), Products board items, Activity items (from OptifiNow engagements linked to the relevant Deal or Contact), and Custom Objects (last, because they may have lookups to migrated standard objects). Each phase emits a row-count reconciliation report before the next begins.
Cutover, validation, and automation rebuild handoff
We freeze OptifiNow writes during a defined cutover window, run a final delta migration of any records modified during the migration window, then enable Monday.com CRM as the system of record. We deliver a written automation inventory documenting every active OptifiNow workflow with recommended Monday.com Automation equivalents and rebuild steps. We support a one-week hypercare window for reconciliation issues. We do not rebuild OptifiNow workflows as Monday.com Automations inside the migration scope; that is a separate engagement or an internal admin task.
