Overview
Moving from Salesboom to Monday.com CRM is a schema translation rather than a simple record copy. Salesboom stores CRM data in a traditional tab-and-field structure (Accounts, Contacts, Opportunities, Cases, Leads) with ERP add-ons at $10/user/month each; Monday.com CRM represents all records as Items on Boards with typed columns. We read from Salesboom's JSON API at secure4.salesboom.com/jsonapi/, map each record type to a Monday.com board or entity type, and preserve custom field values as column data. Monday.com's automations live inside the board builder with per-plan action quotas and do not accept imported workflow logic, so we extract Salesboom's workflow definitions and deliver a written rebuild guide rather than migrating automation code. ERP module records (AP, HR, Payroll, PTO) from Salesboom's add-on tiers have no Monday.com CRM equivalent and require a separate decision about whether those records move as Items on a dedicated board or are exported as a static archive.
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 Salesboom 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.
Salesboom
Account
monday CRM
Organization (People & Organizations)
1:1Salesboom Account records map to Monday.com's Organization entity within People & Organizations. The Account Name becomes the Organization name, billing/shipping addresses map to address columns, and custom Account fields map to custom columns on the Organization profile. We preserve Account hierarchy as parent-child Organization relationships where the destination schema supports it. Monday.com does not enforce a mandatory Account-Contact lookup requirement, so Contacts can exist without an Organization attachment; we attach by default where a matching Account exists.
Salesboom
Contact
monday CRM
Person (People & Organizations)
1:1Salesboom Contact records map to Monday.com Person entities linked to their parent Organization. Email, phone, title, and address fields map to typed Person columns. We resolve the Contact-to-Account lookup at migration time and link the Person to the corresponding Monday.com Organization. Custom Contact fields migrate as custom columns on the Person entity. Note that Monday.com Person records do not have the same field depth as a traditional CRM Contact (no native duplicate detection, no native lead scoring), and we flag this gap during scoping.
Salesboom
Lead
monday CRM
Item on a Leads Board (or Person without Organization)
1:1Salesboom Leads (distinct from Contacts in Salesboom's data model) map to Items on a dedicated Leads board in Monday.com CRM, or to Person entities without an Organization attachment depending on the customer's lead management strategy. The Lead status, source, and rating fields map to Status and dropdown columns. We do not enforce a Lead-Contact merge in Monday.com because Monday.com does not have a native Lead-to-Contact conversion workflow; the customer's admin decides whether to maintain a separate Leads board or treat all prospects as People.
Salesboom
Opportunity
monday CRM
Item on a Deals Board
1:1Salesboom Opportunity records map to Items on a Monday.com Deals board. Deal amount maps to a Number column, close date to a Date column, and stage to a Status column. We configure the Status column values to match Salesboom's opportunity stages before migration. Salesboom's probability field can map to a Number or Percentage column if the customer wants to preserve pipeline forecasting data, though Monday.com does not have native probability-weighted pipeline forecasting.
Salesboom
Case
monday CRM
Item on a Cases Board
1:1Salesboom Case records (status, priority, origin, resolution fields) map to Items on a dedicated Cases board in Monday.com CRM. Case status maps to a Status column, priority to a Priority or dropdown column, and the resolution notes map to a Text column. Auto-assignment rules and escalation workflows from Salesboom do not migrate; we document these in the automation rebuild guide. Cases linked to Contacts or Accounts in Salesboom map to Items with Person or Organization connections in Monday.com.
Salesboom
Task
monday CRM
Item on a Tasks Board or subitem
1:1Salesboom Task records (subject, status, priority, due date, owner) map to Items on a Tasks board in Monday.com. Task status maps to a Status column, priority to a Priority column, due date to a Date column, and the owner to a Person column. Recurring tasks in Salesboom are flattened into individual task Items because Monday.com does not have a native recurring task concept; the customer's admin configures automation rules to recreate recurrence patterns post-migration.
Salesboom
Note
monday CRM
Item Update or Document column
1:1Salesboom Notes attached to Accounts, Contacts, Opportunities, or Cases migrate as Item Updates on the corresponding Monday.com board Items. We preserve the note body text and timestamp. Rich-text formatting in Salesboom notes is simplified to plain text to ensure compatibility. If the customer has a high volume of notes, we can alternatively migrate them as Document column attachments (text files), subject to Monday.com's file storage limits per plan.
Salesboom
Custom Fields (on any tab)
monday CRM
Custom Columns
lossySalesboom allows unlimited custom fields on any standard tab. We map each custom field to the closest Monday.com column type: Text fields to Text columns, numeric fields to Number columns, date fields to Date columns, and picklist fields to Dropdown columns. Multi-select custom fields in Salesboom map to Monday.com Tags or multi-select Dropdown columns depending on use case. The Pro plan supports unlimited columns; Basic and Standard have column limits, so we verify plan tier during scoping and flag any column count risk.

Migration approach
Discovery and scope definition
We audit the Salesboom org for record counts across Leads, Accounts, Contacts, Opportunities, Cases, Tasks, and Notes. We identify active ERP module licensing and flag any module with licensed records for separate scoping. We document custom field counts per object and confirm the customer's Monday.com plan tier (Basic/Standard/Pro) because column limits and automation quotas affect migration design. We also extract workflow rule definitions at this stage for the automation inventory document.
Monday.com board schema design
We design the destination Monday.com workspace structure: a Deals board with typed Status, Amount, Close Date, and Owner columns; a People board for Contacts and Leads; an Organizations board for Accounts; and dedicated boards for Cases and Tasks as needed. We pre-create custom columns matching Salesboom custom fields, confirm column type compatibility, and configure Person-to-Organization links. Board design is validated in a Monday.com test workspace before any production data moves.
Lead strategy resolution
Before any records are migrated, we confirm the customer's chosen strategy for the Lead-versus-Person gap. We present three options: maintain a separate Leads board with a manual or automation-based handoff to the Deals board; treat all prospects as Person records without a separate Lead tab; or use a Tags-based segmentation on the People board. The chosen strategy determines the mapping for all Salesboom Lead records and is locked before extraction begins.
Extraction, transformation, and load
We extract all records from Salesboom via the JSON API at secure4.salesboom.com/jsonapi/ using username/password authentication. We transform records to match Monday.com's column type requirements (phone normalization, currency formatting, date parsing). We load into Monday.com via the REST API v2 with batching up to 1,000 Items per request and rate-limit handling. Records are loaded in dependency order: Organizations first, then People with Organization links resolved, then Deals, Cases, Tasks, and Notes. Each phase emits a row-count reconciliation report.
Cutover and validation
We freeze Salesboom writes during the cutover window, run a final delta migration for any records modified during the migration window, and validate record counts against the pre-migration baseline. We spot-check 20-30 records per object type against the Salesboom source for field-level accuracy. We deliver the automation rebuild guide covering every Salesboom workflow rule with a Monday.com automation equivalent. We support a three-day hypercare window for reconciliation issues and then close the engagement.
