Overview
Moving from SalesCaptain to Monday.com CRM is a structural transition from a narrow, telephony-native CRM to a board-based Work OS with CRM capabilities. SalesCaptain stores Contacts, Companies, Leads, and conversation threads in a relatively flat data model built around its AI voice agent and shared inbox features. Monday.com CRM represents CRM data as Items on Boards with customizable Columns rather than traditional object-record relationships, which requires remapping the SalesCaptain schema into Monday.com's structural paradigm. We handle the object-to-board translation, preserve call and message engagement history as Monday.com Activity log entries, and resolve owner assignments by email match. SalesCaptain's workflow automation rules are not accessible via API, so we deliver a written Automation Inventory worksheet documenting every active rule for the customer's admin to rebuild in Monday.com's automation builder post-migration. Monday.com's automation layer is known to break when board columns are renamed or restructured, so the inventory document also includes column-name stability guidance.
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 SalesCaptain 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.
SalesCaptain
Contact
monday CRM
Contact Board (Item)
1:1SalesCaptain Contact records map to Monday.com CRM Contact Items. Name, email, phone, and address fields map to Monday.com native Column types (Text, Email, Phone, Location). Custom properties on SalesCaptain Contacts migrate as custom Columns on the Contact Board. Owner assignment resolves by email match against Monday.com Team Members.
SalesCaptain
Company
monday CRM
Account Board (Item)
1:1SalesCaptain Company records map to Monday.com CRM Account Items. Company name, domain, industry, and size properties map to corresponding Column types. Company-Contact relationships in SalesCaptain become subitem links in Monday.com (Account as parent board, Contacts as subitems under the Account Item).
SalesCaptain
Lead
monday CRM
Lead Board (Item)
1:1SalesCaptain Lead records (distinct from Contacts) map to Monday.com CRM Lead Items. Lead status and source information from SalesCaptain custom properties migrate as Status and Dropdown Columns in Monday.com. Lead scores, if tracked in SalesCaptain, migrate as Number Columns.
SalesCaptain
Deal
monday CRM
Deal Board (Item)
1:1SalesCaptain Deals map to Monday.com CRM Deal Items on the Deals Board. Deal amount, stage, close date, and owner migrate to corresponding Column types. Monday.com's Deal Board uses the standard monetary Column type for amount and Status Columns for deal stage values.
SalesCaptain
Conversations
monday CRM
Activity Board (Item)
1:manySalesCaptain conversation threads (SMS, calls, messages) merge into Monday.com Activity Items linked to the originating Contact or Lead. Each conversation becomes a separate Item with columns for channel type (Phone, SMS, Email), timestamp, direction (Inbound/Outbound), and body text. The parent Contact or Lead lookup resolves at migration time by matching the conversation participant to the migrated Contact record.
SalesCaptain
Custom Fields
monday CRM
Custom Columns
lossySalesCaptain custom field definitions export as JSON schemas and values export alongside standard fields. We create Monday.com custom Columns to match, applying type coercion where needed (date-only fields may arrive as datetime and require normalization, multi-select values need delimiter handling). Custom field options must be re-created manually in Monday.com Column settings.
SalesCaptain
Communication Channel Profiles
monday CRM
Integration Settings
1:1SalesCaptain channel profile data (phone numbers, messaging accounts) exports as metadata. Monday.com does not have a native equivalent for telephony channel profiles. We flag these as configuration-only records and provide a setup guide for connecting the customer's preferred telephony provider (Twilio, Zoom, etc.) to Monday.com's Integrations center post-migration.
SalesCaptain
Users/Team Members
monday CRM
Team Members
1:1SalesCaptain user records export with role and assignment data. We match by email against Monday.com Team Members. Any SalesCaptain user without a matching Monday.com account goes to a reconciliation queue for the customer's admin to provision before record import continues, because OwnerId references are required for Deal and Activity Items.

Pair-specific challenges
Migration approach
Discovery and data audit
We audit the source SalesCaptain portal across objects (Contacts, Companies, Leads, Deals, Conversations), custom field definitions, active workflow rules, user count, and conversation volume. We export a complete record count for each object as the verification baseline after migration. This step also captures the SalesCaptain API credentials, confirms token stability, and identifies any SSO-linked credentials that require coordination with the customer's identity provider.
Board structure design in Monday.com
We design the Monday.com CRM workspace with Boards mirroring the SalesCaptain data model: a Contact Board, an Account Board (with Contacts as subitems), a Lead Board, a Deals Board, and an Activity Board for conversation history. We pre-create all custom Columns matching the SalesCaptain custom field schema, apply correct Column types (Text, Number, Date, Dropdown, etc.), and configure the Deals Board with appropriate stage Status values. Board design is validated in a Monday.com test workspace before production migration begins.
Automation inventory
We document every active SalesCaptain workflow rule during discovery using a structured worksheet. Each entry captures the trigger (field change, time-based, event), conditions, and actions. This Automation Inventory is the customer's guide for rebuilding rules in Monday.com's automation builder. We do not rebuild automations as part of the migration scope, but we flag dependencies: Monday.com automations that reference columns must use stable column names, so we note any column rename recommendations alongside the inventory.
Owner reconciliation and user provisioning
We extract every distinct SalesCaptain Owner referenced on Contact, Company, Deal, and Activity record and match by email against the Monday.com destination workspace's Team Members. Any SalesCaptain Owner without a matching Monday.com user goes to a reconciliation queue for the customer's admin to provision before record import continues. Monday.com requires active Team Members for Item assignment.
Production migration in dependency order
We run production migration in record-dependency order: Accounts (from SalesCaptain Companies), Contacts (with subitem linkage to Accounts resolved), Leads, Deals (with owner assignment resolved), then Activity Items (Conversations linked to the parent Contact or Lead by email match). Each phase emits a row-count reconciliation report before the next phase begins. We use Monday.com's API with conservative request pacing to avoid throttle responses.
Cutover, validation, and automation rebuild handoff
We freeze SalesCaptain writes during cutover and run a final delta migration of any records modified during the migration window. We validate record counts against the baseline and spot-check a sample of migrated Items in Monday.com against the SalesCaptain source. We deliver the Automation Inventory worksheet and a column-naming stability guide to the customer's admin team for post-migration automation rebuild. We support a short hypercare window for reconciliation issues and do not rebuild automations inside the migration scope.
