Overview
Moving from Plumb5 to Monday.com CRM is a platform architecture shift, not a simple record copy. Plumb5 centralizes fragmented touchpoint data into unified customer profiles with behavioral scoring and auto-segmentation as first-class artifacts; Monday.com CRM structures data as boards, columns, and groups where segmentation is a manual or integration-fed process. We export customer profiles, deal records, campaign memberships, engagement history, and channel attribution from Plumb5, then map them into Monday.com contacts, deal boards, and campaign boards with custom column types. Scoring model values transfer as static numeric fields, not as executable rules, and automations do not migrate; we deliver a written inventory of Plumb5 automation patterns for rebuilding in Monday.com Automations post-migration.
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 Plumb5 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.
Plumb5
Customer Profiles
monday CRM
People (Contacts)
1:1Plumb5 unified customer profiles map directly to Monday.com's People board. Standard fields (name, email, phone, address) migrate to Monday.com text and contact columns. Custom properties extend to Monday.com column types (text, number, dropdown, date) determined during the schema audit. We deduplicate profiles by email before import and preserve the original Plumb5 profile ID in a custom text column for reconciliation.
Plumb5
Customer Profiles (company-level)
monday CRM
Companies (Organizations)
1:1Plumb5 profiles tagged with organization membership map to Monday.com's Organizations board. Domain and company name from Plumb5 map to the Company Name and Website columns. The organization is created before contact import so that the People board Organization column reference is satisfied at insert time.
Plumb5
Deals
monday CRM
Deals Board
1:1Plumb5 deal records (deal name, value, stage, owner) map to a Monday.com Deals board with deal value as a number column, stage as a status column, and owner as the person column. Pipeline assignments from Plumb5 map to board groups in Monday.com. Closed-won and closed-lost reasons migrate as text columns on the deal record.
Plumb5
Campaigns
monday CRM
Campaigns Board
1:1Plumb5 campaigns with associated audiences map to a dedicated Monday.com board. Campaign name, status, goal, and performance metrics migrate as board columns. Campaign audience membership (contacts enrolled in a campaign) migrates as a People column (connect board) linking to the People board, preserving which contacts were members of each campaign.
Plumb5
Behavioral Events
monday CRM
Activity Items (linked board)
1:manyPlumb5 behavioral event history (web, mobile, email, offline touchpoints) migrates to a linked board where each item represents an event with event type, timestamp, channel source, and interaction detail. Items connect back to the corresponding People record via a connect board column. Event volume can be large; we paginate extraction and chunk inserts per Monday.com API limits (10,000 items per request).
Plumb5
Channel Sources
monday CRM
Text or Dropdown Column (People board)
1:1Plumb5 channel attribution (organic search, paid, social, email, direct) is stored as a property on each profile. We preserve this as a text or dropdown column on the People board, allowing teams to filter contacts by acquisition channel in Monday.com board views. Channel source is a high-value migration target for teams relying on attribution reporting.
Plumb5
Segmentation Rules
monday CRM
Board Groups or Groups
1:1Plumb5 auto-segmentation rules generate dynamic contact groups. Monday.com has no native dynamic segmentation equivalent. We migrate segment membership as static group assignments on the People board (using board groups or a dedicated Groups column). The rules themselves are documented during discovery and delivered as a written reference for rebuilding in Monday.com Automations or Integrations post-migration.
Plumb5
Scoring Models
monday CRM
Numeric Column (People board)
1:1Plumb5 numeric behavioral scores stored per profile migrate to a custom number column on the People board. The score value is a static snapshot at migration time. The scoring logic (rules engine artifacts that compute the score) is platform-specific and cannot transfer. We document the score definition and threshold ranges during discovery so the customer's Monday.com team can rebuild the scoring logic using Monday.com Automations.

Pair-specific challenges
Migration approach
Discovery and API endpoint inspection
We audit the Plumb5 instance across record volume, behavioral event history, custom properties, scoring models, lifecycle stages, and channel attribution. Because Plumb5 has no publicly documented bulk export API, we request credentials and test read endpoints during discovery to confirm what data is accessible. We surface any plan-tier API restrictions and define the migration scope before any data movement begins.
Schema design for Monday.com boards
We design the Monday.com destination schema by mapping Plumb5 objects to board structures. Customer profiles map to the People board (with organization linkage to the Organizations board), deals map to a Deals board, campaigns map to a Campaign board, and behavioral events map to a linked Activity board connected to the People board. We configure custom column types to match Plumb5's custom properties and establish board relationships using Monday.com's connect board feature for parent-record lookups.
Data extraction from Plumb5
We extract data from Plumb5 using available API endpoints identified during discovery, generating structured CSV or JSON exports for each object type. We deduplicate customer profiles by email before export and resolve owner references via email matching across records. Extraction pagination handles large event histories in chunks to avoid endpoint timeouts.
Data transformation and field mapping
We transform extracted data by mapping each Plumb5 custom property to the closest Monday.com column type (text, number, date, dropdown, status, or connect board). Behavioral scores flatten to static numeric columns. Lifecycle stages map to status or dropdown columns. Segment memberships become static group assignments. We flag any custom property that cannot map cleanly and escalate to the customer's admin for a manual mapping decision before load.
Board creation and record import into Monday.com
We create Monday.com boards based on the validated schema design, then load records in dependency order: Organizations first, then People (contacts with Organization column resolved), then Deals (with owner and contact references resolved), then Campaign membership (via connect board columns), then Activity items (paginated per API limits). Each phase emits a row-count reconciliation report before the next phase begins.
Cutover, validation, and automation handoff
We freeze Plumb5 writes during cutover, run a final delta migration of any records modified during the migration window, then enable Monday.com as the system of record. We deliver a written inventory of Plumb5 automation patterns (workflow triggers, conditions, and actions) for the customer's Monday.com admin to rebuild using Monday.com Automations. We do not rebuild automations as code inside the migration scope; that is a separate engagement.
