Overview
Moving from Sanoflow to Monday.com CRM is an architectural shift from a WhatsApp-first conversational CRM to a board-based work management platform with CRM features. Sanoflow organises customer interactions around Channels, Enquiries, and Flows; Monday.com CRM uses People records, Deals, and customizable Boards. We extract Contacts with their Custom Field values, preserve Pipeline stage assignments and Enquiry history as Board Items, and map team membership to Monday.com workspace member roles. WhatsApp Channel credentials, Flow automation logic, and Webhook configurations do not transfer because they are bound to Sanoflow's own Meta Business account integration and have no documented export endpoint. We deliver a written Workflow Specification Document describing every active Sanoflow Flow so the customer's team can rebuild equivalents in Monday.com's Automation Recipes. Pricing lands between $7,000 and $16,000 for most Sanoflow migrations, with timeline ranging from four to twelve weeks depending on record volume and data-cleanup scope.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a Sanoflow 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.
Sanoflow
Contact
monday CRM
People
1:1Sanoflow Contacts map to Monday.com People records with name, phone, and email preserved. Custom Field values on Contacts transfer to Monday.com People column values during import. The phone field maps from Sanoflow's contact phone property to Monday.com People's phone column. Owner assignment in Sanoflow maps to a Monday.com workspace member, though Monday.com CRM does not have a Salesforce-style OwnerId lookup on every record type. We extract all active Contact records and validate email and phone format consistency before import to avoid Monday.com column validation errors.
Sanoflow
Enquiry
monday CRM
Board Item (via Deals or custom Board)
lossySanoflow Enquiries represent inbound customer messages or form submissions and have no direct Monday.com CRM equivalent. We scope the customer's use of Enquiries during discovery: Enquiries that track customer issues or support requests map to Items on a dedicated Support Board; Enquiries that represent sales pipeline opportunities map to Monday.com Deals. The Enquiry body, source Channel, status, and assigned agent transfer as Board Item fields and assignee columns. Tag associations and custom Enquiry Field values map to Monday.com column values. Teams using Enquiry Forms as a primary lead-capture method should plan to deploy Monday.com Forms as the replacement entry point.
Sanoflow
Pipeline
monday CRM
Board
1:1Sanoflow Pipelines (Kanban-style workflow boards) map directly to Monday.com Boards. Pipeline names become Board names, and Pipeline Stages become Groups within the Board, preserving stage order. Stage-specific automation rules in Sanoflow do not transfer — these are documented in the Workflow Specification Document for manual rebuild in Monday.com Automation Recipes. Sanoflow's tier limits (5 on Starter, 20 on Growth, 50 on Premium) are enforced at migration time; we flag any customer with Pipeline counts exceeding their Sanoflow plan so the migration plan can account for consolidation or plan upgrade before extraction.
Sanoflow
Pipeline Stage
monday CRM
Group
lossyEach Sanoflow Pipeline Stage maps to a Group within the corresponding Monday.com Board. Stage names and order transfer 1:1. Sanoflow stage-specific completion criteria do not have a Monday.com equivalent and are documented for manual configuration post-migration. Stage probability percentages (if set in Sanoflow) do not map to Monday.com Groups — probability tracking belongs on a Deals Board if the customer uses Monday.com Deals, or on a custom numeric column.
Sanoflow
Channel
monday CRM
External Integration (no migration)
1:1Sanoflow Channels (WhatsApp, Instagram, Messenger, TikTok) represent messaging platform connections and cannot migrate to Monday.com CRM. WhatsApp Business API credentials are tied to the Sanoflow Meta Business account and cannot be transferred to a new platform. We document all active Channel configurations during scoping, noting the channel type and connection status, and recommend a Meta Business account reconnection process with the customer's IT or marketing team post-migration.
Sanoflow
Flow
monday CRM
Automation Recipe (manual rebuild)
1:1Sanoflow Flows are no-code automation workflows built with Triggers, Messages, and Actions and have no documented export endpoint. We cannot extract Flow definitions programmatically. We extract Flow metadata — name, trigger type, step count, and active status — and generate a Workflow Specification Document describing each Flow's trigger conditions, step sequence, and action types. The customer's team rebuilds equivalents in Monday.com Automation Recipes post-migration. Sanoflow's WhatsApp Drip Flows require a replacement WhatsApp automation tool if campaign sequences are central to the sales process.
Sanoflow
Custom Field
monday CRM
Column
1:1Sanoflow Custom Fields on Contacts and Enquiries (Growth tier and above) map to Monday.com Board columns. Field types supported include text, number, date, and choice/dropdown, which map to Monday.com Text, Numbers, Date, and Dropdown column types respectively. Choice-field options transfer as Dropdown column labels. We flag any Sanoflow field types without a Monday.com equivalent (such as complex conditional fields) during scoping and document them for manual column configuration post-import.
Sanoflow
Team and Custom Role
monday CRM
Workspace Member
1:1Sanoflow Teams and role assignments govern which agents see and manage which Enquiries. We extract team membership and role names from Sanoflow and map them to Monday.com workspace members. Monday.com CRM's permission model is less granular than Sanoflow's custom roles — workspace members have viewer or editor access per Board, without a direct equivalent of Sanoflow's per-Enquiry routing rules. We document the role-to-permission mapping for the customer to configure post-migration and flag any team structures that will require simplification.
Sanoflow
Webhook
monday CRM
External Integration (no migration)
1:1Webhook configurations in Sanoflow (Premium and Enterprise only) point to destination-specific URLs and cannot be transferred between platforms. Webhook endpoints reference live Sanoflow-internal systems or third-party services that will not function after migration. We document all active Webhook configurations during scoping and note the endpoint URL and trigger event so the customer's IT team can reconfigure equivalent webhooks in their target systems post-migration.
Sanoflow
Enquiry Form
monday CRM
Monday.com Form
lossySanoflow Enquiry Forms are inbound entry points that create Enquiry records. We extract form field definitions during scoping and map them to Monday.com Form fields. Form routing rules (which Flow a submitted Enquiry triggers) do not transfer and are documented in the Workflow Specification Document. Form submission data from historical Enquiry records migrates as Board Item fields as described under Enquiry mapping. The customer deploys a new Monday.com Form linked to the target Board as the replacement lead-capture mechanism.

Pair-specific challenges
Migration approach
Discovery and scoping
We audit the source Sanoflow account across tier (Starter, Growth, Premium, Enterprise), active Pipelines, Channel count, Contact volume, Custom Field definitions, and Flow count. We confirm which Sanoflow plan the customer is on and flag any objects (Channels, Pipelines, Webhooks) that exceed plan limits. We extract Flow metadata — name, trigger type, step count, and active status — for the Workflow Specification Document. We also scope the WhatsApp message template library and Meta Business account status for re-registration planning. Discovery output is a written migration scope with record counts, object inventory, and a preliminary Monday.com board architecture recommendation.
Monday.com board design and schema setup
We design the destination Monday.com workspace structure: a People Board for Contacts, a Deals Board (or custom Board) for Enquiry-to-Deal mapping, and one Board per Sanoflow Pipeline with Groups representing Stages. We configure column types to match Sanoflow Custom Field definitions and set up workspace members matching the Sanoflow team roster. We create Monday.com Forms as the replacement Enquiry Form entry point. Board design is validated with the customer before any data extraction begins, as the Board structure determines how Enquiry history is organised post-migration.
Data extraction and staging validation
We extract Contacts with all Custom Field values, Enquiry records with body, source channel, status, and assigned agent, and Pipeline stage assignments per record. We run a staging import into a Monday.com workspace to validate column mapping, duplicate detection, and People record matching before production migration. The customer reviews a sample of migrated records and approves the mapping. Data cleansing — duplicate removal, phone number standardisation, and blank field handling — occurs in the staging phase to avoid import errors in production.
Production migration and dependency sequencing
We run production migration in record-dependency order: People records first (Contact data as Monday.com People), then Board Items (Enquiry history as Board Items on the relevant Pipeline Board). Pipeline stage assignments are written as Group membership. Custom Field values are imported as column values during the same phase as the parent record. Team membership maps to Monday.com workspace member assignments. Each phase emits a row-count reconciliation report before the next phase begins.
Cutover and Workflow Specification handoff
We freeze Sanoflow writes during cutover, run a final delta migration of records modified during the migration window, then enable Monday.com CRM as the system of record. We deliver the Workflow Specification Document describing every active Sanoflow Flow with trigger, steps, and recommended Monday.com Automation Recipe equivalents. We support a one-week hypercare window for reconciliation issues. We do not rebuild Sanoflow Flows as Monday.com Automation Recipes inside the migration scope; that work is handled by the customer's team using the Workflow Specification Document.
