Overview
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.
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 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
monday CRM
Contact (Item on CRM board)
1:1Planports 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
monday CRM
Contact (Item on CRM board)
1:1Planports 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
monday CRM
Company (Item or column on CRM board)
1:1Planports 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
monday CRM
Deal (Item on CRM board)
1:1Planports 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
monday CRM
Status column + Group structure
lossyPlanports 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
monday CRM
Subitem or linked Item
lossyPlanports 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
monday CRM
Subitem or linked Item
lossyPlanports 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)
monday CRM
Activity log entries or Subitems
1:1Planports 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)
monday CRM
Standard Monday.com board
1:1Planports 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
monday CRM
Custom columns
1:1Industry-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
monday CRM
File attachments on Items
1:1Files 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
monday CRM
Team Member
1:1Planports 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
Migration approach
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
