Overview
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.

Object mapping
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
monday CRM
People Contact
1:1Rizer 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
monday CRM
People Company
1:1Rizer 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
monday CRM
Deal (Item on CRM board)
1:1Rizer 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
monday CRM
Automation (not migrated)
lossyRizer 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)
monday CRM
People Company
1:1Rize 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)
monday CRM
Board or Item (Work Management scope)
1:manyRize 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)
monday CRM
Subitem or Item
1:1Rize 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
monday CRM
User
1:1Rizer 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
monday CRM
Label or Multi-select Custom Field
lossyRizer 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
monday CRM
Custom Field (referral_source__c, referral_campaign__c)
lossyRizer 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.

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.
Rizer gotchas
API call budget on Starter tier is migration-critical
Dual-product data model requires separate export scopes
Custom field data types are not validated at export time
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 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
