Overview

What this migration involves

Moving from Rizer to Monday.com CRM is a structural migration from a contact-centric, influencer-marketing platform to a board-based work operating system with built-in CRM features. Rizer organizes around Contacts with embedded referral tracking and marketing automation; Monday.com CRM organizes around People entities (Contacts and Companies), Deals as Items on pipeline boards, and Activity logs attached to those Items. The primary migration challenge is translating Rizer's referral attribution data (stored as contact properties) into Monday.com CRM's custom field framework, and deciding whether the Rizer marketing workflow sequences become Monday.com Automations (rebuilt by the admin post-migration) or are documented for manual process adoption. We migrate the data layer only: Contacts, Companies, Deals, and historical timestamps. We do not migrate Rizer Workflows, email sequences, or social scheduling rules; we deliver a written inventory of these for the customer to rebuild in Monday.com Automations.

Why teams make this switch

Two sides of the same decision

Leaving

Rizer logo

Rizer

What's pushing teams away

  • API call limits on the base tier (500/month) are quickly exhausted during active campaigns, forcing upgrades or manual exports.
  • The platform's evolution between Referrizer branding and Rize branding has created confusion about which product is current and which support docs apply.
  • Time-tracking features exist in a separate product tier, and data does not sync automatically between the marketing CRM and the billing side.

Choosing

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 Rizer objects map to monday CRM

Each row shows how a Rizer 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.

Rizer

Contact

maps to

monday CRM

People Contact

1:1
Fully supported

Rizer Contacts migrate to Monday.com CRM People Contacts. The core fields (name, email, phone, address) map directly to the Monday.com CRM Contact fields. The Rizer referral source property (e.g., Instagram, TikTok, affiliate link) migrates to a Monday.com CRM text custom field named referral_source__c. Lifecycle stage from Rizer migrates to a dropdown custom field named rizer_lifecycle_stage__c for audit purposes. We deduplicate on email address and flag records with missing email for manual review before insert.

Rizer

Company

maps to

monday CRM

People Company

1:1
Fully supported

Rizer Company records (linked to Contacts) migrate to Monday.com CRM Companies. Industry tags and company type fields from Rizer map to Monday.com CRM text or dropdown custom fields. Company domain maps to the Website field. If a Rizer Contact has no associated Company, we create a placeholder Company record linked to the Contact for consistency in the Monday.com CRM data model.

Rizer

Deal

maps to

monday CRM

Deal (Item on CRM board)

1:1
Fully supported

Rizer Deals map to Monday.com CRM Deal Items on a pipeline board. The Rizer deal stage (e.g., Appointment Scheduled, Proposal Sent, Won, Lost) maps to a Status column on the Monday.com CRM Deal board. Deal amount, close date, and pipeline name migrate to the corresponding Monday.com CRM columns. If Rizer has multiple pipelines, we create a Monday.com CRM board per pipeline and map accordingly.

Rizer

Workflow

maps to

monday CRM

Automation (not migrated)

lossy
Fully supported

Rizer Workflows are property-triggered email sequences with branching logic and delay rules. Monday.com Automations are trigger-action recipes on boards and items. These are architecturally different and we do not migrate Workflows as code. We deliver a written inventory of every active Rizer Workflow documenting its trigger condition, branch logic, delay actions, and CRM field updates, with a recommended Monday.com Automation rebuild approach for the customer's admin.

Rizer

Clients (Rize product)

maps to

monday CRM

People Company

1:1
Fully supported

Rize Clients (the time-tracking product at rize.io) are top-level entities in a separate product with a separate API scope. We treat Rize as a second export pass within this migration. Rize Clients map to Monday.com CRM Companies using the client name, billing email, and any associated project count. The customer's admin decides whether to merge Rize Clients with existing Monday.com CRM Companies or keep them as a separate Company group.

Rizer

Projects (Rize product)

maps to

monday CRM

Board or Item (Work Management scope)

1:many
Fully supported

Rize Projects belong to Clients and contain Tasks. We map Rize Projects to Monday.com Work Management boards or to Items on an existing board depending on the customer's structure preference. Project status, description, and start/due dates migrate to corresponding board columns. If the customer wants Deals and Projects in the same workspace, we create a Projects board and link it to the CRM board via Monday.com's cross-board item linking.

Rizer

Tasks (Rize product)

maps to

monday CRM

Subitem or Item

1:1
Fully supported

Rize Tasks are nested under Projects. Monday.com does not have a native subtask hierarchy within a Project object; instead it uses Subitems attached to Items on a board. We map each Rize Task to a Monday.com Subitem on the parent Project Item. Task status, assignee, and due date migrate to the Subitem fields. Rize subtask booleans (has_subtasks) expand into individual Subitem records.

Rizer

Team Members

maps to

monday CRM

User

1:1
Fully supported

Rizer and Rize Team Members (user accounts with role assignments) map to Monday.com Workspace Members. We match by email address and resolve the role (admin, manager, member) to a Monday.com team Role assignment. If a Rizer Team Member email has no corresponding Monday.com account, we hold those records in a reconciliation queue for the customer's admin to provision the account before record import resumes.

Rizer

Tag

maps to

monday CRM

Label or Multi-select Custom Field

lossy
Fully supported

Rizer Tags are flat string lists applied to Contacts and Workflows. Monday.com uses Labels (color-coded tags on Items) and column-based multi-select options for structured tagging. We offer two strategies during scoping: flat Labels for flexible taxonomy, or a dedicated multi-select custom field if the customer wants structured tag categories (e.g., influencer tier, content type, campaign). The customer selects the strategy before migration.

Rizer

Referral Data

maps to

monday CRM

Custom Field (referral_source__c, referral_campaign__c)

lossy
Mapping required

Rizer stores referral attribution (source channel, campaign name, attribution window) on the Contact record. Monday.com CRM has no native referral tracking object, so we create custom fields on the Contact: referral_source__c (text), referral_campaign__c (text), and referral_date__c (date). The attribution history is preserved as read-only text in the field for reference; the customer rebuilds attribution reporting in Monday.com dashboards manually.

Pair-specific challenges

  • Rizer's 500 API call monthly budget may exhaust during migration

    The Rizer Starter plan ($19/month) includes 500 API calls per month. A full contact database export with custom fields, tags, and company associations will consume this budget in a single run, triggering 429 responses that interrupt the export. We scope the migration volume against the tier's call limit before starting and recommend upgrading to the Growth tier (5000 calls/month) for the migration window. We implement pagination and throttling on the export loops, resuming via re-authentication if the 429 is returned, and checkpoint the export progress so that no records are re-fetched unnecessarily.

  • Monday.com CRM column IDs versus friendly names in integrations

    Monday.com's API returns internal Column IDs rather than friendly column names in integration payloads. When connecting Monday.com CRM to Zapier, Make, or other middleware after migration, field mapping must reference the Monday.com internal Column ID (visible in Developer Mode under Monday Labs) rather than the column title. We document all Column IDs for the migrated boards in the migration handoff, and if the customer uses middleware integrations, we include a Column ID reference sheet alongside the field mapping document.

  • Rize time-tracking product requires a separate export scope

    Rizer Social (marketing CRM) and Rize (time-tracking) are separate products with separate login domains (rizersocial.io vs rize.io) and distinct API endpoints. A single migration scope that assumes one export covers both products will miss the Rize data entirely. We treat Rize as a second export pass: Clients, Projects, Tasks, and Team Members from Rize map to Monday.com CRM Companies, Work Management boards, and Subitems respectively. The customer confirms during scoping whether Rize data is in scope.

  • Monday.com CRM automations rebuild separately from data migration

    Rizer Workflows (property-triggered email sequences, lifecycle stage transitions, tag triggers) have no direct Monday.com CRM Automation equivalent that migrates as code. Monday.com Automations use board-level trigger-action recipes with different syntax and logic operators. We do not rebuild Workflows inside the migration scope. We deliver a written Workflow inventory document listing every active Rizer Workflow with its trigger condition, delay rules, and action sequence, plus a recommended Monday.com Automation rebuild approach for each. The customer's admin rebuilds them in Monday.com Automations after go-live.

  • Contact deduplication before insert is required to avoid duplicate People

    Rizer's CSV export and API responses may contain duplicate Contact records (same email, different source tags, or merged records with conflicting last-modified timestamps). Monday.com CRM People Contacts deduplicate on email address. We run a pre-flight deduplication pass on the Rizer export before insert, flagging records with duplicate emails for the customer to resolve manually. Skipping this step results in duplicate People records that require manual merge in Monday.com CRM post-import.

Migration approach

Six steps for a successful Rizer to monday CRM data migration

  1. Discovery and migration scoping

    We audit the Rizer portal across the marketing CRM (Contacts, Companies, Deals, Tags, Custom Fields, Referral Data, active Workflows) and the Rize time-tracking product (Clients, Projects, Tasks, Team Members) separately. We extract record counts, field schemas, and pipeline stage configurations. We confirm with the customer whether the Rize time-tracking data is in scope and whether the referral attribution fields are needed in Monday.com CRM or can be archived as a read-only custom field. The discovery output is a written migration scope and a Monday.com CRM workspace preparation checklist.

  2. Rizer export with API throttling and checkpointing

    We extract data from Rizer using the documented API endpoints with pagination. On the Starter tier, we throttle export requests to stay within the 500-call monthly budget, implementing exponential backoff and checkpointing after every 50 records so that a 429 response does not require restarting from record one. We validate field types on read (Rizer does not enforce type constraints on custom field read), inferring date formats, numeric strings, and delimited multi-select values before transforming for the Monday.com CRM destination.

  3. Rize time-tracking export (parallel pass)

    If Rize is in scope, we run a parallel export pass against the Rize API (clients, projects, tasks, team_members endpoints) using the same throttling approach. Rize uses a separate login and API from Rizer Social, so we authenticate against rize.io separately. We preserve the project-to-client relationship by holding project records until the client ID is resolved in Monday.com CRM during insert.

  4. Monday.com CRM board and schema design

    We design the Monday.com CRM destination structure before any data insert. This includes creating the People board (Contacts and Companies), a Deals pipeline board with Status columns matching the Rizer pipeline stages, custom fields (referral_source__c, referral_campaign__c, rizer_lifecycle_stage__c) on the People entities, and any Work Management boards for Rize Projects. Column types are set explicitly (text, number, date, dropdown) to match the inferred Rizer field types. We create the workspace structure in a Monday.com CRM sandbox or dev workspace first for validation.

  5. Data insert in dependency order with deduplication

    We insert data in dependency order: Monday.com CRM Users (resolved from Team Members by email match), Companies (from Rizer Companies and Rize Clients), Contacts (with company_id resolved), Deals (with owner and contact lookups resolved), and Work Management Items (Projects and Tasks as Subitems). A deduplication pass runs on email before Contact insert to prevent duplicate People records. Each phase emits a row-count reconciliation report showing records inserted, skipped (duplicate), and held (lookup not resolved) before the next phase begins.

  6. Cutover, validation, and Workflow rebuild handoff

    We freeze Rizer writes during the cutover window, run a final delta migration of any records modified since the initial export, then enable Monday.com CRM as the system of record. We deliver the Workflow and Automation inventory document to the customer's admin team, including trigger-condition mappings and recommended Monday.com Automation rebuild steps for each Rizer Workflow. We support a five-business-day post-go-live window for reconciliation issues. Monday.com Automations, email sequences, and social scheduling rules are not migrated as code; those are documented for rebuild by the customer's admin.

Platform deep dives

Context on both ends of the pair

Rizer logo

Rizer

Source

Strengths

  • All-in-one platform combining social scheduling, referral tracking, and email nurturing without requiring third-party integrations.
  • Referral attribution is built into the Contact object rather than requiring a separate plugin or Zapier chain.
  • CSV import/export is a documented, user-accessible feature for Clients, Projects, Tasks, and Team Members.

Weaknesses

  • The 500 API calls/month on the starter tier is restrictive for any automated migration process, requiring careful pagination and throttling.
  • Marketing automation and time-tracking are separate products with distinct data models, making a unified data export complex.
  • The platform's name has shifted across Referrizer, Rizer Social, and Rize, creating documentation inconsistencies and confusion about feature parity.

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.

Most migrations land between two and three weeks for accounts under 5,000 Contacts, 1,000 Companies, and 2,000 Deals with the marketing CRM data in scope only. Migrations that include the Rize time-tracking product (Clients, Projects, Tasks) extend to five to eight weeks because of the dual-product export scope, Monday.com CRM board-structure design, and custom field schema creation. Timeline assumes the customer has a Monday.com CRM workspace ready or can provision one within the first week of the engagement.
