Overview
Moving from Saleshiker to Monday.com CRM is a data-model restructuring, not a direct field mapping exercise. Saleshiker organizes around a WhatsApp-native model with Leads, Contacts, Organizations, Deals, and Pipelines; Monday.com CRM uses board-based Items with custom columns to represent CRM entities. We map Saleshiker's pipeline stages to Monday.com board Status columns, preserve Organizations as Groups linked to Contact items, and resolve the owner-to-Monday-user lookup before record import. WhatsApp broadcast history, chatbot configurations, and Meta template approval states do not migrate because Monday.com does not have a native WhatsApp Business API integration; we flag these as a separate integration decision during scoping. Saleshiker's Workflow engine is not portable to Monday.com's automation builder, so we deliver a written inventory of every active Workflow and Scheduler for the customer's admin to rebuild post-migration. Monday.com CRM's underlying architecture is board-based rather than object-relational, which affects how Deals, Quotes, and Invoices are represented as Items with custom columns rather than native CRM record types.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a Saleshiker 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.
Saleshiker
Contact
monday CRM
CRM Contacts board (Item)
1:1Saleshiker Contact records map to Items in the Monday.com CRM Contacts board. Name, email, phone, lifecycle stage, and owner assignment migrate as text, email, phone, status, and person columns respectively. Custom contact properties in Saleshiker become custom columns in Monday.com. The owner-to-user lookup resolves by email match during import; contacts with unmatched owners are placed in a reconciliation queue.
Saleshiker
Lead
monday CRM
CRM Leads board (Item)
1:1Saleshiker Lead records map to Items in the Monday.com CRM Leads board with the same column mapping approach as Contacts. Lead status, source, and score custom properties in Saleshiker map to Monday.com custom columns. Leads are distinguished from Contacts in Saleshiker and are kept separate on the Monday.com destination side through distinct board placement.
Saleshiker
Organization
monday CRM
CRM Contacts board (Group)
1:1Saleshiker Organizations map to Groups within the Monday.com CRM Contacts board, serving as the parent grouping for related Contact items. Organization name, domain, industry, and size custom properties migrate as custom columns on the Group or as columns on associated Contact items. The Organization-to-Group association is preserved by linking Contact items to their parent Organization Group during import.
Saleshiker
Deal
monday CRM
Pipeline board (Item)
1:1Saleshiker Deals map to Items in Monday.com's Pipeline board, with the Saleshiker pipeline stage mapped to a Status column, deal value to a Numbers column formatted as currency, and expected close date to a Date column. Owner assignment resolves via the user lookup. Custom deal properties become custom columns on the pipeline Item. Closed-won and closed-lost reasons from Saleshiker custom fields map to Monday.com dropdown columns.
Saleshiker
Pipeline
monday CRM
Board with Status column
lossyEach Saleshiker pipeline becomes a separate Monday.com board. The pipeline name becomes the board name, and each Saleshiker stage becomes a Status column value. Stage ordering is preserved by setting the Status column display order to match the original pipeline sequence. Stage probability percentages are stored as a custom column if the customer wants them visible on the board.
Saleshiker
Product
monday CRM
Product Catalog board (Item)
1:1Saleshiker Product records (name, SKU, price, description) map to Items in a dedicated Monday.com Product Catalog board. SKU becomes a text column, price becomes a currency column, and description becomes a long-text column. Products are referenced in Deals through a linking column or the Monday.com integration with the CRM Deals board if available in the customer's plan.
Saleshiker
Task
monday CRM
Tasks board (Item)
1:1Saleshiker Tasks with title, due date, status, and assignee map to Items in a Monday.com Tasks board with the same column types. Task assignment migrates by resolving the owner email to a Monday.com User. Related-to linkage to Contacts, Organizations, or Deals is preserved through Monday.com board item connections or a custom text field holding the related record reference.
Saleshiker
Event
monday CRM
Calendar board (Item)
1:1Saleshiker Event records with title, start/end datetime, type, and assignee map to Items in a Monday.com Calendar board. Start and end datetime map to Date columns with time tracking, type maps to a status or label column, and assignee maps to the person column. Recurrence patterns from Saleshiker are documented as a text field on the Event item since Monday.com Calendar handles recurrence natively and the customer may choose to recreate it.

Migration approach
Discovery and data audit
We audit the Saleshiker portal across all active objects: Contacts, Leads, Organizations, Deals, Pipelines, Products, Tasks, Events, Quotes, Invoices, and any custom properties. We export a complete record count and sample field inventory for each object, identify duplicate concentrations by email and phone, and flag any active WhatsApp broadcast campaigns, chatbot configurations, or Workflows referencing WhatsApp triggers. We also document the current pipeline stage labels and their ordering, which becomes the Monday.com board Status column configuration. The discovery output is a written migration scope confirming which objects migrate, which are excluded, and a preliminary field mapping table.
Monday.com board schema design
We design the Monday.com board structure: a CRM Contacts board for Contacts and Organizations (Groups), a Pipeline board per Saleshiker pipeline with Status column values mapped from Saleshiker stages, a Product Catalog board, a Tasks board, and any additional boards needed for Quotes or Invoices using custom column workarounds. Custom properties from Saleshiker are translated to Monday.com custom column types (text, number, date, person, status, label). We create these boards in the customer's Monday.com account before migration begins. If the customer is on a Monday.com plan that includes CRM-native objects (Contacts, Deals, Leads), we configure those objects directly and use custom columns for any properties that exceed the standard field set.
Dry-run and data quality pass
We run a dry-run migration exporting a subset of records (typically the 100 most recently updated Contacts and Deals) and importing them into Monday.com to validate the field mapping, confirm column type assignments, and identify any data that requires transformation before the full migration. During this phase, we probe Saleshiker's API responsiveness to establish safe request throughput and confirm Monday.com API import acceptance. We also run the deduplication pass identified in discovery, producing a list of duplicate Contacts to merge or archive before the main migration.
Full data migration in dependency order
We run the production migration in record-dependency order: Organizations (Groups) first, then Contacts and Leads with Organization Group linkage resolved, then Deals with pipeline stage and owner assignments, then Products, then Tasks and Events, then Quotes and Invoices as Items with custom columns, and finally Attachments (downloaded from Saleshiker storage and uploaded to Monday.com with file references preserved). Each phase emits a row-count reconciliation report. Owner resolution by email match runs across all phases; any unmatched owners are flagged in a reconciliation board for the customer's admin to provision before that phase's records are marked complete.
Validation and record reconciliation
We validate the migrated data against the discovery baseline: record counts per object, spot-checks on 25-50 randomly selected Contacts and Deals for field-level accuracy, and a pipeline stage distribution check confirming that Deals are distributed across the correct Monday.com Status values. We verify that Organization Group linkages on Contacts are intact, that Deal owners resolved correctly, and that attachment file associations are preserved. Any gaps identified during validation are corrected in Monday.com before the cutover window opens.
Cutover and Workflow inventory handoff
We freeze Saleshiker writes during the cutover window, run a final delta migration for any records modified since the last sync, and confirm Monday.com as the system of record. We deliver the Workflow and Scheduler inventory document listing every active automation in Saleshiker with its trigger, conditions, actions, and a recommended Monday.com automation equivalent. We do not rebuild Saleshiker Workflows inside the migration scope. We support a three-day hypercare window for reconciliation issues raised by the customer's team.
