Overview
Outlaw Practice is a practice-management system designed for small and solo law firms, organizing data around clients, matters, documents, billing items, and trust accounts. Monday CRM is a visual, board-based CRM that represents entities as people, companies, deals, and items on customizable boards with column types for every data type. These two systems have fundamentally different data architectures: Outlaw Practice uses a relational legal data model with trust accounting, court calendaring, and billable rate management baked into the schema, while Monday CRM offers flexible column types that you configure per board. FlitStack AI maps Outlaw client records to Monday CRM people, matter records to Deals or Items (depending on your board structure), billing items and invoices to line-item or activity columns, time entries to numeric or duration columns, and trust account balances to monetary columns with reference notes. Trust transactions require a custom mapping since Monday CRM has no native trust accounting module. Custom fields from Outlaw Practice migrate as Monday CRM column types (text, number, date, dropdown, etc.). Workflow automations, document templates, e-signature settings, and court calendaring rules do not migrate and must be rebuilt in Monday CRM's automation recipes and calendar integrations. The migration uses scoped read access on the Outlaw Practice API, field-level transformation against the Monday CRM API v2, and a 24–48 hour delta pickup window captures any records modified during cutover.
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 Outlaw Practice 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.
Outlaw Practice
Client
monday CRM
People
1:1Outlaw Practice clients map directly to Monday CRM people records. Client name, email, phone, address, and primary contact fields translate to Monday CRM people fields. Multiple attorneys per client in Outlaw Practice collapse to one primary assignee in Monday CRM people; secondary attorneys surface as a custom column.
Outlaw Practice
Client
monday CRM
Companies
many:1If the Outlaw Practice client is a business entity (company name present), FlitStack creates both a Monday CRM person record and a company record, linking them via the person-company association. This preserves the firm-to-business relationship without losing the individual contact.
Outlaw Practice
Matter
monday CRM
Deal
1:1Outlaw Practice matters map to Monday CRM deals or items depending on your chosen board structure. Matter name, type, status, open/close dates, and assigned attorney translate to deal name, stage, and owner columns. Matter type (e.g., Family Law, Real Estate) maps to a deal status or custom dropdown column in Monday CRM.
Outlaw Practice
Matter Type / Category
monday CRM
Deal Stage / Dropdown Column
1:1Outlaw Practice matter types are pick-list values (e.g., Family Law, Personal Injury, Estate Planning). These map to Monday CRM deal stage values or a dedicated dropdown column. Each matter type can become its own board in Monday CRM if you want complete pipeline separation.
Outlaw Practice
Billing Item
monday CRM
Item / Line-Item Column
1:1Outlaw Practice billing items are individual line entries tied to a matter: description, quantity, rate, amount, and billable/non-billable flag. These load into Monday CRM items as numeric columns (rate, amount) and text columns (description). Aggregation to invoice totals happens via Monday CRM formula columns.
Outlaw Practice
Invoice
monday CRM
Quote / Item Columns
1:1Outlaw Practice invoices — with line items, subtotal, adjustments, and total — translate to Monday CRM Quote objects (Pro+ plan) or item-level numeric columns on a billing board. Invoice status (Draft, Sent, Paid) maps to a Monday CRM status column. Note: Monday CRM does not have a native trust-retention or escrow model.
Outlaw Practice
Trust Account
monday CRM
Item + Monetary Column
1:1Outlaw Practice trust accounts have a balance, a linked client, and transaction history. Monday CRM has no native trust accounting. FlitStack creates a dedicated trust board with client-linked items, monetary columns for balance, and transaction entries as subitems or linked items — with a reference note that this is a manual reconciliation board, not a native accounting module.
Outlaw Practice
Time Entry
monday CRM
Item / Numeric Column
1:1Outlaw Practice time entries carry date, hours, rate, attorney, and matter association. These load into Monday CRM as item-level duration or numeric columns (hours) and a linked rate column. Attorney attribution uses Monday CRM's people column type. Aggregated billable hours per matter are calculated via formula columns.
Outlaw Practice
Document
monday CRM
File Attachment
1:1Outlaw Practice documents (stored per matter) re-upload to Monday CRM as file attachments on the corresponding deal or item. File size limits follow Monday CRM's storage allocation per plan. Documents with version history in Outlaw Practice attach the most recent version; version history is preserved as a text column note.
Outlaw Practice
Calendar / Court Date
monday CRM
Date Column / External Calendar
1:1Outlaw Practice court dates and matter deadlines migrate as date columns on the corresponding Monday CRM deal item. If you use Google Calendar or Outlook integration with Monday CRM, court dates can push to external calendars via Zapier or Monday's native calendar sync — this is configured post-migration.
Outlaw Practice
Custom Field (Client)
monday CRM
Column Type
1:1Outlaw Practice custom fields on clients (e.g., referral source, preferred contact method) map to Monday CRM column types chosen by field type: text fields to text columns, numbers to numeric columns, dates to date columns, and pick-lists to dropdown columns. Each custom field requires a board-level column creation in Monday CRM before migration.
Outlaw Practice
Custom Field (Matter)
monday CRM
Column Type
1:1Matter-level custom fields (e.g., court jurisdiction, opposing counsel, case number) migrate as columns on the deal board. FlitStack delivers a column-creation plan before migration so Monday CRM schema is ready before data lands. Custom fields with dependencies in Outlaw Practice require manual review in Monday CRM.

Migration approach
Discovery and data audit
FlitStack extracts a full export of your Outlaw Practice account: all clients, matters, billing items, invoices, time entries, trust accounts, and custom fields. We profile the data for duplicates, missing required fields, and orphaned relationships (e.g., billing items with no linked matter). We deliver a data quality report and a preliminary mapping plan that identifies which Outlaw objects map directly to Monday CRM entities and which require custom column or board design.
Design Monday CRM board structure
Before data loads, your team (or our team) configures the Monday CRM boards that will receive Outlaw Practice data. This includes creating the People and Company records, defining deal boards with the correct column types for matter data, building a trust reference board, and setting up the billing item board structure. We deliver a board design plan that mirrors your Outlaw Practice matter types and billing workflow. Board setup is the longest pre-migration step when there are many custom fields.
Resolve owners and users by email
Outlaw Practice users and attorneys are matched against Monday CRM users by email address. Unmatched users are flagged before migration — your team either creates the Monday CRM user first or assigns their Outlaw Practice records to a fallback owner. No record lands in Monday CRM without an owner assignment, which ensures accountability and proper access controls across all migrated records.
Run a sample migration with field-level diff
A representative slice — typically 100–300 records spanning clients, matters, billing items, and time entries — migrates to Monday CRM first. We generate a field-level diff between the Outlaw Practice source values and the Monday CRM destination values so you can verify column type mapping, trust account board integrity, and owner resolution before the full run commits. You approve the sample before we proceed.
Full migration with delta-pickup window
The full dataset loads into Monday CRM using API calls paced to respect your plan's daily rate limits. A delta-pickup window (typically 24–48 hours after the initial load) captures any records created or modified in Outlaw Practice during the cutover window. FlitStack generates an audit log of every operation. One-click rollback is available if reconciliation against your Outlaw Practice data reveals gaps.
Post-migration reconciliation and rebuild handoff
FlitStack delivers a reconciliation report comparing Outlaw Practice record counts and financial totals (billing item amounts, trust account balances) against Monday CRM values. Workflow automation definitions are exported as a rebuild specification for your Monday CRM admin. Document re-upload and calendar integration setup are handed off with step-by-step instructions. We provide 30 days of post-migration support to address data discrepancies discovered after go-live.
