Overview
Paradym uses a conventional CRM object graph — contacts, companies, deals, and activity logs stored as named entities with typed properties. monday CRM discards that model entirely: everything is a board, every record is an Item, and field types are column-based (text, number, date, status dropdown, people, location, etc.). The migration therefore involves three structural translations. First, Paradym contacts become monday CRM People board Items with name, email, phone, and job title mapped to equivalent column types. Second, Paradym companies map to an Organizations board where address, industry, and employee count become custom columns. Third, Paradym deals land on a Deals board with pipeline stage mapped to a monday CRM Status column, deal value to a Numbers column, and close date to a Date column. Activities (calls, emails, meetings, notes) migrate as Updates attached to the relevant Items with original timestamps preserved. Custom properties from Paradym become monday CRM custom columns — the platform supports unlimited columns per board, so no field is dropped. Owner resolution happens by email match against monday CRM user accounts. FlitStack runs a test migration on a representative slice before committing the full dataset, and a delta-pickup window captures any Paradym changes during cutover so the destination reflects the true final state. Automations, recipes, and workflow logic do not migrate — those must be rebuilt using monday CRM's automation builder post-migration.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a Paradym 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.
Paradym
Contact
monday CRM
People board Item
1:1Paradym contacts become monday CRM People board Items. The Name and People column type hold the contact's name; email, phone, job title, and address map to their respective column types. All Paradym contact properties become board columns — the People board supports unlimited columns so no field is lost.
Paradym
Company
monday CRM
Organizations board Item
1:1Paradym company records map to a dedicated Organizations board. Company name becomes the Item name; industry, website, employee count, and annual revenue become Number, Text, or Dropdown columns as appropriate. Multi-company associations for a single contact surface as linked Items on the Organizations board.
Paradym
Deal
monday CRM
Deals CRM board Item
1:1Paradym deals migrate as Items on the monday CRM Deals board. Deal name becomes the Item name; deal amount maps to a Numbers column; close date maps to a Date column. The most important translation is Paradym's deal stage — pick-list values map to monday CRM Status column options, creating a Kanban view that mirrors the source pipeline structure.
Paradym
Pipeline
monday CRM
Deals board + Status column
1:1Paradym pipelines have no direct equivalent in monday CRM. The migration creates a Deals board per Paradym pipeline (or a single board with Status column options scoped by pipeline name). This means each Paradym pipeline's stage values become Status column options on the destination board, preserving the stage sequence.
Paradym
Pipeline Stage
monday CRM
Status column value
1:1Paradigm stage names (e.g. Prospecting, Qualification, Proposal, Negotiation, Closed Won) are mapped value-by-value to monday CRM Status column options. Probability and forecast category are not carried — those are monday CRM-native concepts that must be re-applied post-migration in the Sales Settings.
Paradym
Activity: Call
monday CRM
Update on Item
1:1Paradym call logs migrate as Updates on the relevant contact or deal Item. The update body carries the call outcome, duration, and owner email with original timestamp preserved. monday CRM's update model means call history lives in the Item's update feed rather than a separate object.
Paradym
Activity: Email
monday CRM
Update on Item + Email column
1:1Paradym email records become Updates on the contact or deal Item. If the Paradym record includes an email body, the full text is appended to the Item update log. Email address is also captured in the contact's Email column on the People board for display consistency.
Paradym
Activity: Meeting
monday CRM
Update on Item + Date/Time columns
1:1Paradym meeting records migrate as Updates on the related Item with meeting title, attendees, and outcome in the update body. The meeting start/end time is preserved in Date and Time columns on the Item if the user configures those columns; otherwise the information lives in the update log.
Paradym
Activity: Note
monday CRM
Update on Item
1:1Paradym notes attached to contacts or deals become Updates on the corresponding monday CRM Item. Rich-text formatting in Paradym notes is preserved as plain text in the update — bold, lists, and embedded images cannot be rendered in monday CRM updates and are removed.
Paradym
Custom Object
monday CRM
Custom board + Items
1:1Paradym custom objects that have no monday CRM equivalent become entirely new boards. The custom object's properties are translated to board columns (text, number, date, dropdown, etc.) on the new board. Relationships between custom objects and contacts/deals are modeled via monday CRM's Connect boards column type.
Paradym
User / Owner
monday CRM
monday CRM user account
1:1Paradym owner_id is resolved by email against monday CRM user accounts. If a Paradym owner has no matching monday CRM user, their records are assigned to a migration placeholder user and flagged for reassignment before go-live. monday CRM's People column type on Items holds the assigned user.
Paradym
Attachment / File
monday CRM
File column on Item
1:1Paradym file attachments linked to contacts, companies, or deals are re-uploaded to monday CRM Files and attached to the corresponding Item using the File column type. File size limits and storage quotas on the monday CRM plan apply — Enterprise accounts have the highest storage allowance.

Migration approach
Audit Paradym data model and export via API
FlitStack connects to the Paradym API using your account credentials and pulls a full export of all objects: contacts, companies, deals, pipelines, activities, custom objects, and user accounts. We validate record counts, identify custom fields and their data types, and flag any objects with non-standard schemas. The export runs with scoped read access — Paradym remains fully operational throughout. We also capture owner-to-email mappings at this stage so owner resolution is ready before the monday CRM load.
Design monday CRM board structure and column schema
Based on the Paradym data audit, FlitStack generates a monday CRM board architecture plan: a People board, an Organizations board, a Deals board (or multiple boards if multiple pipelines exist), and any custom boards for Paradym custom objects. For each board, we specify the column types (People, Text, Numbers, Date, Status, Dropdown, etc.) that correspond to Paradym field types. You review and approve the board schema before data moves. This step also configures the Connect boards columns needed to preserve contact-deal and company-deal relationships.
Map, transform, and load contacts and companies first
FlitStack loads the Organizations board first (companies with industry, website, employee count, revenue), then the People board (contacts with name, email, phone, title, address). Owner resolution by email runs during this phase — Paradym owner_id is matched to monday CRM user accounts, and any unmatched owners are flagged for your team to resolve before deal loading. Contacts are linked to their primary company using monday CRM's Connect boards column. Custom fields on both boards are created as columns during the load.
Load deals with stage mapping and relationship linking
Paradym deals load onto the Deals board (or per-pipeline boards) with deal name, amount, close date, and probability mapped to their monday CRM column equivalents. Stage values are translated via the value-mapping table created in the planning phase — Paradym stage names become monday CRM Status column options that drive the Kanban view. Each deal Item is linked to its primary contact and company via Connect boards columns. Owner assignment follows the email-match results from Step 3.
Migrate activity history as Updates on Items
Paradym calls, emails, meetings, and notes are processed as Updates on the relevant monday CRM Items. Each activity type is formatted as an update with owner email, timestamp, and outcome text preserved. Rich-text formatting in Paradym notes is simplified to plain text. Activities that cannot be linked to a specific Item (orphan activities) are logged to a dedicated Activities board for manual triage. The update log preserves the original Paradym activity timestamp so your team retains full history context in monday CRM.
Run sample migration, validate, and execute delta cutover
FlitStack runs a sample migration on a representative slice (typically 200–500 records across contacts, companies, deals, and activities) before the full load. You receive a field-level validation report comparing Paradym source values to monday CRM destination values for every mapped field. After you approve, the full migration executes. A delta-pickup window (24–48 hours) captures any Paradym records created or modified during cutover, so monday CRM reflects the final state at go-live. An audit log documents every record written, and one-click rollback is available if reconciliation uncovers unexpected data issues.
