Overview
PromoXcrm is a vertical CRM built for promotional products distributors, with data objects tailored to the promo order lifecycle — Commission Records, Projects tied to specific promo orders, and client-facing Presentations — that do not exist as native objects in Monday.com CRM. We export these as structured data and map them into Monday.com custom fields and boards during migration. PromoXcrm's pipeline stages, task records, and client contacts transfer as Monday.com Leads, Contacts, Boards, and Items. We cannot migrate PromoXcrm's task automation rules because they are platform-specific configuration. We cannot migrate the native integrations with Xero, Stripe, and Mailchimp because these are connection settings, not data records. Monday.com's REST API and documented rate limits provide a reliable destination target, but PromoXcrm's undocumented API requires direct credential access and a probing phase before we confirm safe export thresholds.
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 PromoXcrm 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.
PromoXcrm
Lead
monday CRM
Lead
1:1PromoXcrm Lead records with customizable pipeline stages and opportunity data map directly to Monday.com CRM's native Lead object. We preserve all standard fields (name, email, phone, company, lead source, lead status) and map PromoXcrm's promo-specific stage labels (Quote Sent, Artwork Approved, Order Confirmed) to Monday.com Lead Status values configured during schema setup. Any PromoXcrm custom fields on Lead records are recreated as Monday.com custom fields before import.
PromoXcrm
Client
monday CRM
Contact
1:1PromoXcrm Client records represent the distributor's end customers and map directly to Monday.com CRM Contacts. Standard fields (name, email, phone, company, address) migrate 1:1. Any promo-specific custom properties on the Client record — such as a preferred supplier or industry segment tag — are mapped to Monday.com custom fields that the customer's admin creates before import. We document each custom field name, type, and source value during the discovery phase.
PromoXcrm
Pipeline
monday CRM
Board (CRM Pipeline view)
lossyPromoXcrm's customizable pipelines with promo-industry stage names map to Monday.com CRM Boards configured with CRM Pipeline views. We create one Board per PromoXcrm pipeline and use Board status columns to replicate the promo order stages (e.g., Quote Sent, Artwork Approved, Order Confirmed). The CRM Pipeline view in Monday.com provides a visual pipeline interface that sales teams recognize from Monday.com's product UX.
PromoXcrm
Project
monday CRM
Item (on CRM Board)
1:1PromoXcrm Projects represent individual promo orders or campaigns tied to a Client. We migrate Project records as Items on Monday.com CRM Boards, with Project name, description, status, and dates mapped to Item fields. Project-to-client associations are resolved by matching the PromoXcrm client reference to the Monday.com Contact created from the Client record. Project custom fields (e.g., order value, product type, supplier) migrate to Monday.com custom columns on the Board.
PromoXcrm
Task
monday CRM
Sub-item
1:1PromoXcrm Task records map to Monday.com Sub-items within their parent Project Item. We preserve the PromoXcrm task assignee, due date, status, and description fields. Task-to-project parent relationships are maintained by nesting Sub-items under the corresponding migrated Item. If PromoXcrm tasks are not tied to a specific Project, they are migrated as standalone Items on the relevant Board with a tag indicating their origin as standalone tasks.
PromoXcrm
Commission Record
monday CRM
Item (on Commission Board) or Custom Fields on Project Item
1:manyCommission Records are a PromoXcrm-specific object with no native equivalent in Monday.com CRM. We create a dedicated Commission Board in Monday.com and migrate Commission Records as Items, with custom columns for commission amount, commission rate, rep or distributor name, related promo order reference (linked to the corresponding Project Item), and payout date. Alternatively, if the customer prefers a lighter-touch model, commission data is added as custom fields on the Project Item itself. The customer selects the preferred model during scoping, and Monday.com field limits for the chosen plan tier are verified before configuration.
PromoXcrm
Custom Object
monday CRM
Item (on custom Board)
1:1PromoXcrm's web-service API references custom objects, but no public schema is documented. We probe the PromoXcrm API during discovery to enumerate custom object schemas and record counts, then create matching Boards in Monday.com with appropriate custom columns for each. Custom object data migrates as Items on the corresponding Board. Lookup relationships between custom objects and standard PromoXcrm objects are reconstructed in Monday.com via custom reference fields or linked Item relationships. Pre-migration field creation in Monday.com by the customer's admin is required before custom object import.
PromoXcrm
Presentation
monday CRM
File attachment on Item
1:1PromoXcrm Presentations are files stored within the CRM tied to client records or promo orders. We export available file references and URLs, then re-attach them as file uploads to the corresponding Monday.com Item. If PromoXcrm stores files in a separate hosting service, we export the file references and document the re-upload steps for the customer. Actual file hosting transfer depends on PromoXcrm's export capabilities; we cannot migrate file storage infrastructure, only the references and the files themselves if direct export is available.
PromoXcrm
Owner
monday CRM
User
1:1PromoXcrm Owner records map to Monday.com User accounts. We resolve owners by email match. Any PromoXcrm Owner without a matching Monday.com User is placed in a reconciliation queue for the customer's admin to provision before record import resumes. Monday.com seat assignment is confirmed with the customer during scoping to align with the chosen Monday.com plan tier.

Gotchas + challenges
Platform-specific issues from each side, plus the pair-specific challenges that don't show up on either platform's page on its own.
PromoXcrm gotchas
No public API documentation or rate limit specification
Promo-specific objects have no direct equivalent in generic CRMs
Pricing inconsistency across sources may signal tier complexity
Workflow automations and task rules do not migrate
Vendor viability and support responsiveness are unverified
monday CRM gotchas
Subitems are not included in bulk exports
Daily API call limits vary sharply by plan
Legacy automations (Sentence Builder) are being deprecated
Excel and account exports only include table views
Enterprise admins can disable non-admin exports
Pair-specific challenges
Migration approach
Discovery and API probing
We audit PromoXcrm across all active objects — Leads, Clients, Pipelines, Projects, Tasks, Presentations, Commission Records, and any custom objects — and produce a written record count baseline. We request PromoXcrm API credentials and run a direct probe to establish export thresholds, pagination behavior, and schema visibility. If the API proves unreliable or undocumented, we fall back to CSV export and manual extraction. We simultaneously confirm the customer's Monday.com plan tier and document any PromoXcrm automations and active integrations (Xero, Stripe, Mailchimp) that require reconfiguration. Discovery output is a written migration scope, record inventory, and API viability assessment.
Schema design in Monday.com
We design the Monday.com target schema: a CRM Board with status columns matching PromoXcrm's pipeline stages, a Contacts board, a Commission Board with custom columns, and separate Boards per PromoXcrm custom object. We document every PromoXcrm custom field and map it to a Monday.com column type (text, number, date, link, dropdown). The customer's admin creates the custom fields and boards in Monday.com before migration; we provide a schema diagram and field creation guide as deliverables from this step.
Test migration and reconciliation
We run a test migration into a Monday.com workspace using a subset of PromoXcrm records representing each object type and edge case (Commission Records, Projects with no client, Tasks with no assignee). The customer reconciles record counts, spot-checks migrated field values, and verifies that Monday.com custom field types accommodate the source data without truncation or type mismatch. Any mapping corrections are documented and applied before production migration. This step also validates that Monday.com's field limits for the customer's plan tier are sufficient for the full dataset.
Production migration in dependency order
We run production migration in record-dependency order: Contacts and Leads first (to establish client records), then Pipelines and Boards with status columns, then Project Items with parent-client lookups resolved, then Sub-items for Tasks, then Commission Records as Items on the Commission Board or custom fields on Projects, then custom object Items, then file attachments on Items. Each phase emits a row-count reconciliation report before the next phase begins. We use Monday.com's bulk import API with rate-limit handling and batch chunking to avoid timeouts on large record sets.
Cutover, validation, and automation rebuild handoff
We freeze PromoXcrm writes during cutover and run a final delta migration of records modified during the migration window. We validate record counts match the discovery baseline and spot-check five to ten percent of migrated records for field accuracy. We deliver the automation inventory document listing every PromoXcrm task automation with its trigger, conditions, actions, and recommended Monday.com automation equivalent. We support a one-week hypercare window for reconciliation issues. We do not rebuild PromoXcrm automations as Monday.com automations inside the migration scope; that work is documented for the customer's admin.
