Overview

What this migration involves

Moving from Planports CRM to Monday.com CRM is a platform-model migration: Planports organizes data around Deals with industry-specific pipeline stages and a built-in WhatsApp Business layer, while Monday.com uses a board-and-item structure that can be configured for CRM use. The two platforms share no common data export format, and Planports does not expose a public API schema without a $62/month paid add-on, making data extraction the first challenge to solve. We sequence the migration around Monday.com's board-first data model, converting Planports Deals into Items on CRM boards and mapping the original pipeline stage labels to Monday.com group or status column values. We do not migrate Planports workflow automations, WhatsApp conversation bodies, or industry-specific custom field logic — we document every gap and deliver a written inventory so your admin can rebuild after cutover.

Field-level fidelity

Every standard and custom field arrives verified.

Schema-aware mapping

AI proposes the map; you confirm before any record moves.

Relationships preserved

Parent–child, lookups, and ownership stay linked.

Full activity history

Calls, emails, meetings — with original timestamps.

Attachments & notes

Documents, uploads, and inline notes move with the record.

Why teams make this switch

Two sides of the same decision

Leaving

Planports CRM logo

Planports CRM

What's pushing teams away

  • Pricing and add-ons quoted in Turkish lira (TL) make budgeting unpredictable for non-Turkey teams due to currency volatility.
  • Training (8,500 TL per person/day) and process consulting (6,000 TL per person/day) costs add up quickly for organizations needing significant onboarding support.
  • API access at 1,200 TL+VAT/month is a separate line item — competing CRMs typically include API access in standard tiers.
  • Limited English-language reviewer presence on G2 and Capterra makes peer validation difficult for non-Turkish prospects.
  • Marketing automation and BI depth are lighter than mainstream international CRMs like HubSpot or Pipedrive.

Choosing

monday CRM

What's pulling them in

  • Users praise the board-based visual interface for making pipeline stages immediately legible to non-technical team members without CRM training.
  • The no-code automation builder lets sales ops teams create lead routing, stage updates, and email triggers without developer involvement.
  • Integration ecosystem connects to Slack, Gmail, Outlook, and Zapier with minimal configuration, reducing friction for teams already using these tools.
  • The flexible column system lets teams build custom CRM views — deal value, close date, lead source — without needing a developer or pre-defined schema.
  • Teams already using monday Work Management can layer CRM features onto existing boards rather than starting from scratch.

Object mapping

How Planports CRM objects map to monday CRM

Each row shows how a Planports 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.

Planports CRM

Lead

maps to

monday CRM

Contact (Item on CRM board)

1:1
Fully supported

Planports Leads (primary intake from Meta Instant Forms, Google Ads, TikTok) migrate as Items on a Monday.com CRM board designated as the Leads board. Source attribution fields (utm_source, utm_medium, utm_campaign) map to custom text columns on the Item. Lead status values from Planports map to a Status column on the board. Any industry-specific lead fields (e.g., referral source in health tourism) map to custom columns. We preserve the original Planports Lead ID as a text column for reconciliation.

Planports CRM

Contact

maps to

monday CRM

Contact (Item on CRM board)

1:1
Fully supported

Planports Contact records map to Items on a Monday.com Contacts board. Standard fields (name, email, phone, company) map to Monday.com's native Name, Email, Phone, and Company columns. The WhatsApp conversation thread metadata (contact, timestamp, direction) migrates as a linked Subitem or a series of activity log entries, but the full message body text may not be available in a machine-readable export — we test this during the data audit and document the limitation explicitly.

Planports CRM

Company

maps to

monday CRM

Company (Item or column on CRM board)

1:1
Fully supported

Planports Companies map to Monday.com Company records, which are a native CRM entity type in Monday.com Sales CRM. Company name, domain, address, and industry fields map to Monday.com's corresponding Company columns. Company is created before any Contact or Deal that references it so that the relationship lookup is satisfied at insert time.

Planports CRM

Deal

maps to

monday CRM

Deal (Item on CRM board)

1:1
Fully supported

Planports Deals migrate as Items on a Monday.com Deals board, with each Deal linked to its parent Contact and Company via Monday.com's native People column (Contact) and Company column. The Planports pipeline stage maps to a Status column or Group structure on the board. Industry-specific stages (e.g., treatment package stage for health tourism, property viewing stage for real estate) map to custom Status column values — we define this mapping during the field audit phase before any data loads.

Planports CRM

Deal Stage / Pipeline

maps to

monday CRM

Status column + Group structure

lossy
Fully supported

Planports uses per-vertical pipeline stages (health tourism, real estate, digital agency) as deal metadata. We map each Planports pipeline to a Monday.com board, and each stage within that pipeline to a Status column value. If Planports uses multiple parallel pipelines, we create multiple Monday.com boards or use Monday.com's Group feature to segment within a single board, depending on the customer's reporting requirements.

Planports CRM

Quote

maps to

monday CRM

Subitem or linked Item

lossy
Fully supported

Planports Quotes (line items, pricing, approval status) linked to Deals have no direct Monday.com native equivalent. We model Quotes as Subitems on the Deal Item, with line item fields stored as text or number columns on the Subitem. Approval status migrates as a Status column on the Subitem. The customer should evaluate whether the quote PDF should be stored as a file attachment on the Subitem during the data audit phase.

Planports CRM

Order

maps to

monday CRM

Subitem or linked Item

lossy
Fully supported

Planports Order records (post-sale items, quantities, status) migrate as Subitems or as linked Items on the related Deal. Financial settlement data may require accounting-system reconciliation and is not guaranteed to migrate cleanly if stored in Planports's built-in accounting layer. We flag any financial fields that lack a clear Monday.com equivalent during the field audit.

Planports CRM

Activity (calls, emails, meetings, tasks, notes)

maps to

monday CRM

Activity log entries or Subitems

1:1
Fully supported

Planports Activity records (calls, emails, meetings, tasks, notes) migrate as log entries on the parent Contact or Deal Item. Monday.com stores activity history within the Item's Updates section or as a linked Subitem with an Activity type column. Timestamps, owner attribution, and linked entity references are preserved. If activity volume exceeds 50,000 records, we batch-load via the Monday.com API with rate-limit handling.

Planports CRM

Process (Kanban board)

maps to

monday CRM

Standard Monday.com board

1:1
Fully supported

Planports Process boards (Kanban-based sales and marketing workflow boards) migrate as standard Monday.com boards with columns mirroring the original board structure. Card-level data (the Process card records) become Items on the new board. Conditional automation rules attached to board columns do not migrate — we document them in the automation inventory for manual rebuild.

Planports CRM

Custom Fields

maps to

monday CRM

Custom columns

1:1
Mapping required

Industry-specific custom fields are common on Leads, Contacts, and Deals in Planports — particularly in health tourism (referral sources, treatment packages), real estate (property IDs, viewing schedules), and digital agencies (campaign IDs, ad spend). We perform field-level mapping during the pre-migration audit, matching each Planports custom field type to the equivalent Monday.com column type (text, number, date, dropdown, etc.). Fields with no clear Monday.com equivalent are flagged for customer decision before the load begins.

Planports CRM

Attachment and Files

maps to

monday CRM

File attachments on Items

1:1
Fully supported

Files uploaded to Planports Contact or Deal cards can be exported individually per record. We migrate files as attachments on the corresponding Monday.com Item using Monday.com's file upload API. Bulk attachment migration requires Planports API access ($62/month add-on) and may be limited by plan tier. We confirm file storage volume during scoping.

Planports CRM

User / Owner

maps to

monday CRM

Team Member

1:1
Fully supported

Planports User records and deal ownership assignments migrate as relational keys preserved on Deals and Activities. We match owners by email address against Monday.com team members. Any Planports Owner without a matching Monday.com user is held in a reconciliation queue for the customer's admin to provision before record import resumes.

Pair-specific challenges

  • Planports API schema is not publicly documented

    Planports CRM does not publish a public REST API schema or developer documentation. API access requires a paid API key add-on at $62/month, which is not included on Starter or Professional plans by default. Migration tooling that uses API-based bulk extraction (rather than per-record Excel exports) requires this add-on. We confirm API key status during scoping and include the cost in the proposal as an additional line item if the customer does not already hold an active key.

  • WhatsApp conversation history may not export as machine-readable text

    WhatsApp Business API conversations are stored within Meta/WhatsApp infrastructure and surfaced inside the Planports CRM Contact card for display. The export captures metadata (contact, timestamp, direction) but may not return full message body text in a structured format. We test this during the data audit phase. Where full message history cannot be extracted, we document the limitation explicitly and advise the customer that WhatsApp conversation continuity in Monday.com may require re-authorizing the WhatsApp Business API channel as a standalone integration.

  • Planports workflow automations are not exportable

    Planports workflow rules — the if/then triggers that auto-assign leads, send WhatsApp messages, or schedule follow-up reminders — are configuration data stored in Planports and are not included in any export. We flag every customer on the discovery call to confirm whether they rely on automation rules. If they do, we scope a separate automation rebuild phase after the data migration is complete, treating this as a post-migration service line item.

  • Industry-specific custom fields require field-level mapping per account

    Planports CRM is heavily customized per vertical: health tourism clinics track referral sources and treatment packages; real estate agencies track property IDs and viewing schedules; digital agencies track campaign IDs and ad spend. These custom fields are not consistently named or typed across accounts. We audit every field in the source system during pre-migration data review, produce a field mapping matrix, and flag any fields with no clear Monday.com column type equivalent for customer decision before the load begins.

  • Monday.com CRM uses board structure, not traditional object relationships

    Monday.com CRM is built on the Work OS board model. Contacts, Companies, and Deals are Items on boards, and relationships between them are managed through People and Company columns rather than traditional parent-child lookups. Teams accustomed to Planports' relational CRM object model may need guidance on how to structure boards for optimal reporting. We include a board architecture recommendation in the scoping deliverable.

Migration approach

Six steps for a successful Planports CRM to monday CRM data migration

  1. Discovery and data extraction method confirmation

    We audit the source Planports CRM account to inventory Leads, Contacts, Deals, Quotes, Orders, Activities, Process boards, custom fields, and user count. We confirm whether the Planports API add-on is active ($62/month) because API access determines whether we use bulk API extraction or per-record Excel exports. We also identify any industry-specific pipeline stages (health tourism, real estate, digital agency) and custom field inventory. The discovery output is a written migration scope and a recommendation on whether to activate the API add-on for this migration.

  2. Field-level audit and Monday.com board architecture design

    We perform a field-level audit of every Planports object, producing a field mapping matrix that matches each source field to a Monday.com column type (text, number, date, dropdown, People, Company, etc.). We design the Monday.com board architecture: a Contacts board, a Deals board with pipeline-specific Status columns, a Leads board, and any Process boards. Industry-specific stages are mapped to custom Status values. We flag fields with no clear Monday.com equivalent for customer decision before any data moves.

  3. Data cleaning and deduplication

    We clean the source data before export: removing test records and archived deals, standardizing phone number formats (international prefix handling for Turkey and EU numbers), unifying country codes to ISO standards, and consolidating duplicate Contact records using email as the dedupe key. Data cleaning typically reduces migration volume by 15-25% while improving quality in the destination system.

  4. Sandbox migration and reconciliation

    We run a full migration into a Monday.com test workspace using production-like data volume. The customer's team lead spot-checks 20-30 random records against the Planports source, validates that Deals are linked to the correct Contacts and Companies, confirms that pipeline stage labels match expectations, and signs off on the board architecture before production migration begins. Mapping corrections happen here, not in production.

  5. Production migration in dependency order

    We run production migration in record-dependency order: Monday.com Companies first (from Planports Companies), then Contacts (with Company relationship resolved), then Deals (with Contact and Company lookups resolved), then Activities and Notes (via Monday.com API with rate-limit handling), then Process board records last. Each phase emits a row-count reconciliation report before the next phase begins. We freeze Planports writes during the cutover window and run a final delta migration of any records modified during the migration window.

  6. Cutover, validation, and automation rebuild handoff

    We enable Monday.com as the system of record after the final delta pass. We deliver a reconciliation report matching Planports record counts to Monday.com record counts across all object types. We deliver the automation inventory document — a written map of every Planports workflow automation with its trigger, conditions, actions, and recommended Monday.com automation equivalent — to the customer's admin team for rebuild. We do not rebuild automations inside the migration scope. We support a 5-business-day hypercare window for reconciliation issues raised by the team after cutover.

Platform deep dives

Context on both ends of the pair

Planports CRM logo

Planports CRM

Source

Strengths

  • WhatsApp Business API natively embedded in the Contact card with full conversation history
  • Automatic lead capture from Meta Instant Forms, Google Ads, and TikTok ads with source attribution
  • 500+ Zapier integrations covering the broader SaaS ecosystem
  • Industry-specific pipeline stages and custom fields for health tourism, real estate, and digital agencies
  • Built-in Quotes, Orders, and basic accounting alongside CRM — reduces tool sprawl for SMBs

Weaknesses

  • No publicly documented API schema or developer documentation outside the paid API key add-on
  • Workflow automations are not exportable — they must be manually rebuilt in the destination system
  • WhatsApp conversation history is stored in Meta's infrastructure and may not be accessible via standard export
  • Pricing tiers and feature gates are not fully documented publicly, requiring a sales conversation to confirm
  • Limited English-language documentation — platform is primarily documented and supported in Turkish

Destination

Strengths

  • Board-based UI makes pipeline stages and deal progress visually obvious without training.
  • No-code automation builder requires no developer resources to create lead routing and stage-triggered actions.
  • Flexible column system supports custom CRM fields without schema changes or admin involvement.
  • Integrates natively with Slack, Gmail, Outlook, and Zapier with minimal configuration overhead.
  • Layered product means teams already on monday Work Management can add CRM without migrating existing data.

Weaknesses

  • No native Contacts object separate from Items — contacts are managed inside a CRM module's People feature.
  • Pipeline and deal relationships use a flat item model rather than a relational object model, making complex CRM associations awkward.
  • Automations are plan-gated (250 actions/month on Standard, 25,000 on Pro) and the legacy Recipe system is being deprecated.
  • Customization and advanced views (Chart, Formula, Dependency) are locked behind Pro and Enterprise tiers.
  • Per-seat pricing with non-refundable annual billing creates cost lock-in risk during migration.

Migrations under 5,000 Contacts and 2,000 Deals with no API-based extraction requirement land between three and five weeks. Migrations requiring the Planports API add-on ($62/month), involving heavy industry-specific custom field normalization, or migrating activity history over 50,000 records move to six to ten weeks because of data audit scope, API rate-limit handling, and the board architecture design phase.
