Overview
Teams migrate from Road Runner to Monday CRM when they need the visual flexibility and cross-tool integrations that a board-based Work OS provides. Monday CRM stores contacts and companies as People and Organization items inside boards, and deals as items within the Deals board or as sub-items on contact records. The migration carries everything Road Runner stores natively — contacts, companies, deals, activities, custom fields, and attachments — into Monday's board-and-column model. The harder problems are translating Road Runner's multi-pipeline deal stages into Monday's group-based stage columns, mapping owner assignments to Monday's People column (which requires users to exist in the Monday account), and converting Road Runner custom field types into Monday column types. FlitStack AI sequences the migration by importing contacts and companies first, then deals, then activity updates, so foreign-key relationships resolve correctly. Custom fields that have no Monday column equivalent become text columns with a naming convention your admin can review before the full run. Road Runner automations do not carry over — Monday's board-level automations must be rebuilt — and we provide an automation export document as a rebuild reference. Our migration engine respects Monday's per-plan API rate limits and batches large record sets to avoid throttling.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a Road Runner 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.
Road Runner
Contact
monday CRM
People (Contacts Board)
1:1Road Runner contacts map directly to monday CRM People items in the Contacts board. Each Road Runner contact becomes a separate item. The Name field maps to Monday's Name column. Email, phone, job title, and address fields map to their corresponding text or location columns. Owner assignment maps to the People column if the owner is a Monday user, otherwise flagged for manual assignment.
Road Runner
Lead
monday CRM
People (Leads Board)
1:1Road Runner leads become items in a dedicated Leads board in Monday CRM. A custom Status column captures the Road Runner lead status value. If Road Runner uses lifecycle stages, those migrate as a custom text or label column on the item. The separate board keeps lead records distinct from converted contacts in the Contacts board, matching Road Runner's object separation.
Road Runner
Company
monday CRM
Organization (Contacts Board)
1:1Road Runner company records map to the Organization column on each contact item in the Contacts board. When a Road Runner contact has an associated company, the company data populates the Organization column linked to the contact. Address fields from Road Runner split across Monday's location sub-fields (City, State, Country, Zip) if available, or combine into a single address text column.
Road Runner
Deal
monday CRM
Item (Deals Board)
1:1Road Runner deals migrate as items in a Deals board in Monday CRM. The deal name maps to the item Name. Deal amount maps to a Number column. Owner maps to a People column. Pipeline and stage values map to a Pipeline column and the board's group-based stage columns respectively. Close date maps to a Date column.
Road Runner
Pipeline
monday CRM
Board Group + Pipeline Column
1:1Road Runner pipelines with multiple named pipelines map to a Pipeline column in the Deals board, with each pipeline name as a label option. Each pipeline's stages become Groups in the Deals board. Teams using a single pipeline in Road Runner map to a single-group Deals board with no Pipeline column required. Multiple pipelines require the Pipeline column to differentiate deal types across the same board.
Road Runner
Pipeline Stage
monday CRM
Board Group Name
1:1Road Runner stage names per pipeline map to Monday CRM group names in the Deals board. Stage names convert value-by-value: each Road Runner stage label (e.g., 'Qualification', 'Proposal Sent', 'Closed Won') becomes a Monday group with the same label. Stage entered timestamps from Road Runner migrate as custom datetime columns on the deal item if tracking is required.
Road Runner
Activity (Call / Email / Meeting)
monday CRM
Update / Sub-item (Contacts Board)
1:1Road Runner engagement records — calls, emails, and meetings — attach as Updates to the parent contact or deal item in Monday CRM. Each update records the activity type, timestamp, owner, and a summary. For detailed activity tracking, activities migrate as sub-items with a Type column set to 'Call', 'Email', or 'Meeting' and relevant fields populated from the Road Runner activity record.
Road Runner
Custom Field / Custom Property
monday CRM
Column (per board)
1:1Road Runner custom fields on any object become new columns in the appropriate Monday CRM board. Text fields become Monday text columns. Number fields become number columns. Date fields become date columns. Pick-list values from Road Runner become label columns in Monday with the same options. Fields with no equivalent column type become text columns and are flagged in the mapping plan for admin review.
Road Runner
Attachment / File
monday CRM
File Attachment (per item)
1:1Road Runner file attachments associated with contacts, companies, or deals re-upload to Monday CRM as file attachments on the corresponding item. Files stored in Road Runner's native storage are downloaded and re-attached. Monday's per-file size limit applies — files exceeding the limit are flagged for splitting or alternative handling.
Road Runner
Tag / Label
monday CRM
Tags Column
1:1Road Runner tags and labels migrate as Monday CRM tags on the corresponding item. If Monday's native tag feature is not available on the plan, tags migrate as a text column with semicolon-separated values. Tags are preserved so filtering by tag in Monday works after migration.
Road Runner
User / Owner
monday CRM
People Column
1:1Road Runner owner IDs resolve to Monday CRM users by email match against the monday.com user list. Matched owners populate the People column on the item. Unmatched owners — where no Monday user corresponds to the Road Runner owner email — are flagged in the pre-migration audit. Records with unmatched owners land under a designated fallback user for manual reassignment.
Road Runner
Create Date / Update Date
monday CRM
Created At + Custom Date Column
1:1Monday CRM's native Created At timestamp reflects when the item was created in Monday, not the original Road Runner record creation date. FlitStack preserves the Road Runner original create date in a custom Original_Created_Date__c column on each item so reporting continuity is maintained. Update timestamps migrate as a second custom column if the audit trail requires it.
Road Runner
Record ID
monday CRM
Custom Text Column
1:1Road Runner's internal record ID (contact_id, deal_id, company_id) has no native equivalent in Monday CRM. We preserve the Road Runner ID as a custom text column (Source_ID__c) on each item for traceability, delta-run de-duplication, and cross-reference during the reconciliation phase.

Migration approach
Audit Road Runner data model and count records
FlitStack AI connects to Road Runner via API to inventory all objects, fields, custom properties, and pipeline configurations. We count contacts, companies, deals, and activity records per object. We identify owner emails, deal pipeline names and stage values, custom field type definitions, and any relationship metadata. This audit produces a data map document that your team reviews before any board is created in Monday CRM.
Design Monday CRM board structure and column schema
Based on the Road Runner data map, FlitStack AI delivers a Monday board design plan: the Contacts board, Deals board (or sub-item structure), and any custom boards for non-standard objects. The plan specifies column names, column types, group names for deal stages, and any custom column names for Road Runner properties that don't have a direct Monday equivalent. Your Monday admin pre-creates the board and columns so validation runs against a ready destination schema.
Migrate in dependency order: contacts → companies → deals → activities → files
FlitStack AI sequences the migration to respect Monday's data model constraints. Contacts (People items) import first with owner email matching against Monday users. Companies map to the Organization column on existing contacts. Deals import next with pipeline and stage values mapped to groups and label columns. Activity updates attach to their parent contact or deal item. Files attach last. Each batch respects Monday's API rate limits and reports progress in real time.
Run sample migration with field-level diff before full commit
A representative slice — typically 100–500 records spanning contacts, companies, and deals — migrates first. We generate a field-level diff between the Road Runner source values and the Monday CRM destination values so you can verify name concatenation, address mapping, pipeline translation, owner matching, and probability values before the full run. You approve the sample before we commit the complete migration.
Execute full migration with delta pickup and post-migration reconciliation
The full migration runs in batches. A delta-pickup window (24–48 hours) captures any records modified in Road Runner during the cutover. FlitStack AI generates a reconciliation report comparing record counts and field values between Road Runner and Monday. We surface any unmatched owners, unmapped custom fields, or rate-limit gaps. You receive an automation export document listing all Road Runner automations with Monday equivalent triggers for your admin to rebuild.
