Overview
Sensei Cloud is a dental practice management platform built around patients, appointments, clinical charting, treatment plans, and insurance billing. Monday CRM is a general-purpose CRM that structures work as boards containing items, with core entities for Contacts, Companies, Deals, and Leads — each living inside customizable columns rather than fixed record types. The two platforms share almost no native object equivalents, which makes field-level mapping the most complex part of this migration. We map Sensei patient records to Monday Contacts (pulling name, phone, email, address, insurance carrier, and responsible party into standard fields, with everything else into custom columns), provider users to Monday Team Members by email match, and treatment plans to Deals with a custom pipeline board where procedure type, treatment stage, and fee schedule become board columns. Insurance claims, adjustments, and ledger entries cannot map to any Monday CRM object — we export them as structured CSV files for reference rebuild in Monday's Docs or a separate finance board. Monday's automation rules, email sequences, and CRM-specific workflows (contact attribution, deal stage triggers) do not exist in Sensei Cloud and have to be built fresh after migration. The migration runs via Monday's API (1,000–10,000 daily call limits depending on plan tier) with a staged load so large patient rosters don't hit rate ceilings.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a Sensei Cloud 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.
Sensei Cloud
Patient
monday CRM
Contact
1:1Direct map. Monday Contact stores name, email, phone, address in standard fields. Sensei patient demographics (date of birth, responsible party, emergency contact) migrate as custom columns on the Contact record. Patients without an email address are flagged for manual review.
Sensei Cloud
Provider/User
monday CRM
Team Member
1:1Direct map. Sensei provider accounts match to Monday Team Members by email address. Each provider becomes a Monday seat and can be assigned as Deal Owner or Contact Owner. Providers without Monday accounts are flagged so you can invite them before migration.
Sensei Cloud
Appointment
monday CRM
Task / Activity Log Item
1:1Sensei appointments (date, time, provider, procedure type, status) become Monday Items on a dedicated Appointments board. Each appointment becomes one item with columns for Date, Provider, Type, and Status. Original appointment timestamps are preserved in custom Date columns. This transformation maintains the chronological history of every patient visit while placing it within Monday's item-based structure where your team can track, filter, and update appointment status through board views and column changes.
Sensei Cloud
Treatment Plan
monday CRM
Deal
1:1Each Sensei treatment plan maps to a Monday Deal item. The plan name becomes Deal Name, planned fee becomes Deal Amount, and treatment stage (Initial, Proposed, In Progress, Completed) maps to a Monday Status column representing your deal pipeline stages.
Sensei Cloud
Procedure Code / CDT Code
monday CRM
Custom Column (Text) on Deal
1:1Sensei CDT/ICD procedure codes have no Monday CRM native equivalent. We map them to a custom Text column on the Deal board called Procedure_Codes__c. Multiple codes per treatment plan are joined with commas in a single cell. This approach preserves the full code set for reference within the Deal item, allowing your team to see all associated procedures at a glance while keeping the data in a format Monday's API can write and retrieve without custom encoding.
Sensei Cloud
Insurance Carrier
monday CRM
Custom Column (Text) on Contact
1:1Insurance carrier name from the Sensei patient record migrates to a custom Text column on the Monday Contact called Insurance_Carrier__c. Policy number and group number map to separate custom Text columns. This three-column structure allows your team to filter contacts by insurance carrier, sort by policy number, and run reporting on coverage types across your patient base without requiring custom formulas or integrations.
Sensei Cloud
Ledger Entry / Adjustment
monday CRM
CSV Reference Export
1:1Sensei ledger entries (charges, payments, adjustments, insurance write-offs) have no Monday CRM equivalent. We export the full ledger as a structured CSV file keyed by patient ID, with columns for date, type, amount, and description. Your team uses this as a rebuild reference in Monday Docs or a separate finance board.
Sensei Cloud
Clinical Note / Chart Note
monday CRM
Custom Column (Long Text) on Contact
1:1Sensei clinical chart notes are dental-specific and do not map to any Monday CRM field. We migrate the most recent note as a Long Text custom column (Last_Clinical_Note__c) on the Contact. Full note history is exported to CSV for reference.
Sensei Cloud
Tooth Charting Record
monday CRM
CSV Reference Export
1:1Per-tooth charting data (surface-level conditions, restorations, extractions) is proprietary to Sensei's clinical model. Monday CRM has no charting equivalent. We export tooth chart data as a CSV keyed by patient ID, with a column per tooth position. This structured export format allows your team to import the data into a dedicated clinical reference board or external charting tool while preserving the granular tooth-level detail for audit and treatment planning purposes.
Sensei Cloud
Referral Source
monday CRM
Custom Column (Text) on Contact
1:1If your team tracks how patients found you (referral, organic, ad campaign), that field maps to a custom Text column on Contact called Referral_Source__c. Value-by-value mapping is applied where Sensei uses a pick-list. This ensures that referral source labels from Sensei transfer as exact matches into Monday, maintaining consistency in your marketing attribution data and allowing your team to create board filters and group-by views based on how patients discovered your practice.
Sensei Cloud
Document / Attachment
monday CRM
Monday Files
1:1Files attached to Sensei patient records (consent forms, imaging exports, insurance cards) are downloaded and re-uploaded as Monday Files attached to the corresponding Contact item. File size limits follow Monday's upload constraints. This approach preserves the attachment context within each patient Contact, keeping all related documents accessible from the same board view where your team manages patient information without requiring a separate document management system.

Pair-specific challenges
Migration approach
Export Sensei patient, appointment, and treatment plan data
FlitStack connects to Sensei Cloud via the available API endpoints to extract patient demographics, provider accounts, appointment records, treatment plans, and clinical note references. We pull data in structured JSON payloads, clean duplicates (patients with multiple IDs from data-entry errors), and validate required fields (name, email, phone) before mapping begins. Insurance carrier, responsible party, and referral source fields are extracted as-is for column mapping. A data quality report is delivered to your team highlighting records with missing emails or unresolvable providers.
Design Monday board structure and custom column schema
Before any data loads, FlitStack delivers a board-design document specifying the columns, types, and values your Monday workspace needs. We propose: a Contacts board (with insurance and clinical custom columns), a Deals board (pipeline with treatment-stage Status values), and an Appointments board. Each custom column gets a typed mapping (Text, Date, Number, Long Text, Status) based on the source field's data type. Your Monday admin approves the column schema before we touch the API. This step prevents the common migration failure where data lands before the board structure is ready, forcing a costly rework.
Resolve providers to Monday Team Members by email
Monday CRM requires a Team Member to assign as Deal Owner or Contact Owner. We match Sensei provider email addresses against Monday user accounts by email. Providers without a Monday account are flagged in the migration plan with instructions to invite them before the load runs. If a provider has left the practice, their records are reassigned to a designated fallback owner you specify. Owner resolution is validated in the sample migration before the full run.
Run a sample migration with field-level diff
A representative slice of records — typically 50–100 patients plus their appointments and treatment plans — loads into Monday first. FlitStack generates a field-level diff showing each source field, the mapped Monday column, the loaded value, and any transformation applied (date format normalization, pick-list value mapping, CSV reference creation). You verify that CDT codes appear in Procedure_Codes__c, that treatment stages map to your Status column values, and that provider assignments resolved correctly. No records are committed until you sign off on the sample.
Execute full migration with delta-pickup window
After sample sign-off, the full migration loads contacts, appointments, and deals into Monday. A delta-pickup window (24–48 hours) captures any records created or modified in Sensei during the cutover window. Monday API calls are throttled to respect your plan tier's daily limit; Standard-tier accounts run in staged batches with a completion notification at the end of each batch. File attachments are uploaded separately after the main data load. An audit log records every operation, and one-click rollback is available if reconciliation fails. Ledger and clinical data exports are delivered as CSV reference files alongside the live migration.
