Overview
Practice Master Pro structures its data around clients (matters), contacts, journal entries, calendar events, and financial records (fees, costs). Monday CRM uses a flat board-item model with customizable columns, contact records, and deal pipelines — there is no native billing-rate field, time-entry column, or conflict-check field. The migration therefore requires careful field-level translation: client names become monday CRM contact names, matters become deals, journal entries become item notes, and Practice Master time/financial records require custom columns created in Monday before data lands. FlitStack AI sequences the migration through the Monday API using scoped read access on Practice Master, then runs a sample migration with a field-level diff before committing the full dataset. Automations and custom reports in Practice Master do not migrate — those must be rebuilt using Monday's automation builder and dashboard tools after go-live. Billing-rate fields, conflict-check data, and any custom Practice Master properties that have no Monday CRM column type are preserved as custom monday columns so the data remains available for reference and reporting.
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 Practice Master Pro 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.
Practice Master Pro
Client (CMCLIENT / Matter)
monday CRM
Monday CRM Contact + Deal (board item)
1:1Practice Master stores clients and matters as structured relational records (CMCLIENT). In Monday CRM, client names map to contact Name fields, and matter records map to deals (board items) on a dedicated Matters board. Each matter-deal is linked to its primary contact record via Monday's contact-link column type.
Practice Master Pro
Contact (CMRELATE)
monday CRM
Monday CRM Contact
1:1Practice Master Contact records (CMRELATE) map directly to Monday CRM Contacts. Email addresses, phone numbers, job titles, and company associations resolve 1:1. Contacts without a client/matter association land as standalone Monday CRM contacts. Multiple contact addresses in Practice Master collapse to the primary address in Monday.
Practice Master Pro
Journal (CMJRNL — Notes)
monday CRM
Monday CRM Item Notes
1:1Practice Master journal entries (CMJRNL) are the primary note and activity-log record. Each journal record becomes a note entry attached to the related Monday CRM deal item (matters board) or contact. Journal timestamps, entry authors, and body text are preserved. Journal entries that reference multiple matters are duplicated to each related item.
Practice Master Pro
Calendar Event (CMCALENDAR)
monday CRM
Monday CRM Calendar Item
1:1Practice Master calendar records (CMCALENDAR) migrate as Monday CRM calendar items. Event subject, start datetime, end datetime, and location map directly. Attendee and invitee data from Practice Master becomes a custom text column in Monday since Monday's native calendar does not store attendee lists. Recurring event patterns are noted but require manual recreation in Monday's recurring event feature.
Practice Master Pro
Cost (CMCOST — Expenses)
monday CRM
Monday CRM Deal (board item) custom expense column
1:1Practice Master cost records (CMCOST) are expense entries linked to matters. Each cost record migrates as a row in an Expenses subitem or as a custom number/text column on the matter-deal in Monday. Cost amount, vendor, and description are mapped to their respective monday column types. Multi-line cost records require a custom column template on the deals board.
Practice Master Pro
Fee (CMFEES — Time Entries)
monday CRM
Monday CRM Deal (board item) custom time column
1:1Practice Master fee records (CMFEES) are time-billing entries. Each fee record migrates as a custom number column (billable hours) and a currency column (billing amount) on the matter-deal in Monday. Billing rate per matter is preserved as a custom number column on the deal. Historical fee totals for reporting require a custom aggregation column after migration.
Practice Master Pro
Billing rate
monday CRM
Monday CRM Deal custom number column
1:1Practice Master stores per-matter billing rates as standard fields. Monday CRM has no native billing-rate column. FlitStack creates a custom number column (Billing Rate) on the deals board before loading matter data. The column is populated with the Practice Master rate value for each matter-deal.
Practice Master Pro
Conflict-check data
monday CRM
Monday CRM Deal custom text column
1:1Practice Master conflict-check results and history have no Monday CRM equivalent. We preserve conflict-check data as a custom long-text column (Conflict Check Notes) on the contact or matter-deal so the data remains accessible after migration even though the conflict-check process itself cannot be replicated in Monday.
Practice Master Pro
Practice Master Custom Fields
monday CRM
Monday CRM Custom Columns
1:1Any custom fields configured in Practice Master are inventoried during the planning phase and mapped to the closest Monday CRM column type. If a custom field type has no Monday equivalent (e.g., multi-select lists without a corresponding monday drop-down), we create a custom column and flag it for admin review after migration.
Practice Master Pro
Workflows / Automations
monday CRM
None — must rebuild
1:1Practice Master workflows governing billing routing, document generation, and matter-stage automation have no migration path to Monday CRM. We export the workflow definitions and trigger logic as a reference document for your Monday admin. Rebuild in Monday's automation builder is required and is scoped separately from the data migration.
Practice Master Pro
Reports / Dashboards
monday CRM
None — must rebuild
1:1Practice Master reports and dashboards are built on Practice Master's reporting engine and do not transfer. The underlying data (matters, contacts, time entries, expenses) does migrate, so the raw material for rebuilding reports in Monday's dashboard tools is available. We provide a data-export of all migrated records for reference during dashboard rebuild.
Practice Master Pro
Attachments / Files
monday CRM
Monday CRM Files (via integration or manual upload)
1:1Practice Master file attachments on matters and contacts are downloaded and re-uploaded to Monday CRM's native file storage. Files are linked to the corresponding deal item or contact record. Monday's per-file size limit (250MB) applies; very large files may require a storage integration (e.g., Google Drive, SharePoint) configured in Monday's integrations settings.

Migration approach
Audit Practice Master data export and map to Monday CRM board structure
FlitStack AI extracts the full Practice Master dataset using the built-in export (CMCLIENT for clients, CMRELATE for contacts, CMJRNL for journal entries, CMCALENDAR for calendar events, CMFEES for time entries, CMCOST for expenses). We inventory all custom fields and non-standard properties during this phase. We then design the Monday CRM board structure — typically a Matters board with a Deals pipeline, a Contacts board, and a linked Calendar — and define the custom column template (Billing Rate, Conflict Check Notes, Billable Hours, Cost Amount) that must exist in Monday before any data loads. We deliver a migration plan document showing the exact column mapping per board.
Create Monday CRM custom columns and board templates before data loads
Monday requires custom columns to exist before data can populate them. We pre-create all required custom columns (Billing Rate, Conflict Check Notes, Source Matter ID, Source Contact ID, Cost Vendor, Attendees, Author) in your Monday CRM workspace using the API before the first data load. We also configure the Deals pipeline with appropriate status labels that mirror Practice Master matter statuses. If your migration involves multiple boards (Matters, Contacts, separate Expense tracking), we set up the board templates and any necessary board connections or link-column configurations in this step.
Run sample migration with field-level diff on 100–200 records
We select a representative slice of Practice Master records — typically 100–200 matters spanning a range of statuses, contact types, and fee volumes — and run a test migration into your Monday CRM workspace. We generate a field-level diff report comparing source values against the Monday CRM records after load. You review the diff to confirm that billing rates, conflict-check data, contact associations, and time-entry summaries are correctly mapped. We adjust column mappings, custom field assignments, and aggregation logic based on your feedback before committing the full dataset.
Execute full migration with delta-pickup window
The full migration runs against Monday CRM, loading all clients, matters, contacts, journal entries, calendar events, cost records, and fee records according to the validated mapping. During the migration window, your team continues working in Practice Master with no disruption. After the initial full load, FlitStack AI runs a delta-pickup (typically 24–48 hours) to capture any new or modified records created in Practice Master during the migration cutover. All operations are logged in an audit trail. If reconciliation fails or Monday records are misaligned, one-click rollback reverts the workspace to its pre-migration state.
Post-migration reconciliation and workflow reference handover
After the delta-pickup closes, we run a final reconciliation report comparing Practice Master record counts and financial totals (total fees, total costs, matter count by status) against Monday CRM data. Any discrepancies are investigated and corrected. We deliver the Practice Master workflow definitions as a structured reference document for rebuilding automations in Monday. We also provide a CSV export of all migrated records with their original Practice Master IDs for your Monday admin to use as a cross-reference during the workflow rebuild phase.
