Overview

What this migration involves

Moving from Sentia to Monday.com CRM is a structural migration from a purpose-built AI CRM into a work management platform configured as a CRM. Sentia organizes data around Contacts, Companies, Leads, and Deals with voice workflow automation. Monday.com CRM presents records as board Items with typed Columns, uses a visual pipeline view, and tracks activity in an Emails and Activities timeline. We merge Sentia Leads into Monday.com Contacts, preserving the original lead source as a label. We map Sentia Deals to Monday.com Deals with stage alignment resolved before import. Voice workflow configurations and automations are not portable; we deliver a written inventory for manual rebuild. The Starter tier's 10-user cap on Sentia ($25/user/mo) versus Monday.com's 3-seat minimum ($12/user/mo on Basic) is a common trigger for this migration.

Why teams make this switch

Two sides of the same decision

Leaving

What's pushing teams away

  • Small team limits on the Starter tier (up to 10 users) force growing companies to re-platform once headcount crosses that threshold, triggering a migration cycle.
  • Limited review volume and market presence compared to HubSpot or Salesforce makes integration ecosystem confidence lower for technical buyers evaluating the platform.
  • Confusion between Sentia the CRM, Sentia Spirits the beverage brand, and Sentia the cloud services provider creates brand ambiguity that complicates procurement and vendor evaluation.

What's pulling them in

  • Users praise the board-based visual interface for making pipeline stages immediately legible to non-technical team members without CRM training.
  • The no-code automation builder lets sales ops teams create lead routing, stage updates, and email triggers without developer involvement.
  • Integration ecosystem connects to Slack, Gmail, Outlook, and Zapier with minimal configuration, reducing friction for teams already using these tools.
  • The flexible column system lets teams build custom CRM views — deal value, close date, lead source — without needing a developer or pre-defined schema.
  • Teams already using monday Work Management can layer CRM features onto existing boards rather than starting from scratch.

Object mapping

How Sentia objects map to monday CRM

Each row shows how a Sentia 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.

Sentia

Contact

maps to

monday CRM

Person

1:1
Fully supported

Sentia Contacts map directly to Monday.com CRM People. Standard person fields (name, email, phone, address) migrate to typed person columns. We preserve any custom Contact-level properties as text, number, or date columns on the Person record. Email address is used as the dedupe key to prevent duplicate Person creation during import.

Sentia

Company

maps to

monday CRM

Company

1:1
Fully supported

Sentia Company records map to Monday.com CRM Companies. The Company name becomes the Company record name, and domain information maps to a URL column. We preserve Contact-to-Company associations by linking the migrated Person records to the target Company record using Monday's person-to-company relationship.

Sentia

Lead

maps to

monday CRM

Person (merged)

many:1
Fully supported

Sentia maintains a separate Lead object distinct from Contact. Monday.com CRM does not have a separate Lead object. We merge all Sentia Leads into Monday.com People records, preserving the original lead source and lead status as label columns. The lead source value becomes a Monday label so that teams can filter People by original acquisition channel. Customer confirms the mapping during scoping.

Sentia

Deal

maps to

monday CRM

Deal

1:1
Fully supported

Sentia Deals map to Monday.com Deals with pipeline stage alignment resolved before import. Deal name, monetary value, expected close date, and owner migrate to typed Deal columns. The Sentia pipeline stage becomes a Monday label column on the Deal record. We preserve closed-won and closed-lost status as Deal status labels.

Sentia

Pipeline Stage

maps to

monday CRM

Board Column (Status)

lossy
Fully supported

Sentia pipeline stages map to Monday board Status columns. Each Sentia pipeline becomes a separate Monday CRM board or a board group. Stage probability percentages migrate to Monday as number columns for reference but do not auto-populate stage weighting in Monday's native forecasting.

Sentia

Activity (Call, Email, Meeting, Note)

maps to

monday CRM

Emails and Activities Timeline

1:1
Fully supported

Sentia activity records (calls, emails, meetings, notes) migrate to Monday's Emails and Activities timeline on the associated Person or Deal record. We preserve timestamps, content, and owner attribution. Activity-to-Contact and Activity-to-Deal associations are resolved via email address matching and deal name lookup during import.

Sentia

Custom Field

maps to

monday CRM

Column (various types)

lossy
Fully supported

Sentia custom fields map to Monday columns by inferred type: text properties become text columns, numeric properties become number columns, date properties become date columns, and multi-select properties become label or dropdown columns. We discover the full Sentia field schema during discovery and create matching Monday columns before data import. Tier-gated fields (Basic vs Ultimate tier) are flagged if the customer is on a lower Sentia tier with limited API surface.

Sentia

User (Owner)

maps to

monday CRM

Team Member

1:1
Fully supported

Sentia Owners map to Monday.com CRM team members. We resolve owners by email match. Any Sentia Owner without a matching Monday user is held in a reconciliation queue for the customer's admin to provision before record import resumes. Owner assignment on Deals and Activities is resolved at migration time via the user lookup table.

Sentia

Attachment

maps to

monday CRM

File (on Item)

1:1
Fully supported

File attachments associated with Contacts, Deals, or Activities migrate as files attached to the target Monday Person, Company, or Deal record. Large attachments above 25MB are flagged for manual re-upload since Monday has file size constraints on individual uploads.

Sentia

Tag / Label

maps to

monday CRM

Label

lossy
Fully supported

Sentia tags migrate as Monday label columns on the relevant record type (Person or Deal). Where the customer has used tags for lead segmentation, we map those to label values on the Person record so that filtering and grouping by original tag remains possible in Monday's board view.

Pair-specific challenges

  • Monday automations infrastructure is undergoing migration

    Monday.com is actively deprecating its legacy automation infrastructure (dynamic mapping and sentence-builder recipes) in favor of a new monday workflows architecture. A migration wizard exists for Monday apps, but customer-configured automations built inside Monday boards may require manual rebuild after migration to Monday CRM. We do not auto-import automations as code. We deliver a written inventory of every Sentia automation and workflow with its trigger, conditions, and recommended Monday workflow equivalent for the customer's admin to rebuild.

  • Monday.com CRM automations have reported reliability issues

    A Reddit review from a 14-year agency describes broken board linkages, automations that only fire intermittently, and support response times extending weeks for non-enterprise accounts. While this reflects a single account's experience, it indicates that automation reliability in Monday.com CRM may vary. We recommend that teams validate critical automation rules post-migration and not assume that Sentia automation logic will behave identically in Monday.com.

  • Monday has a 3-seat minimum on all plans

    Monday.com CRM requires a minimum of 3 seats regardless of team size. Sentia's Starter tier caps at 10 users but does not mandate a minimum above 1. Teams migrating from a 1-2 person Sentia setup will see an immediate per-month cost increase from $25/user (1 seat = $25) to $12 x 3 = $36/month minimum. We flag this during pricing discovery so the customer understands the minimum cost floor in Monday.com.

  • Sentia voice workflows reference internal IDs and are not portable

    Sentia positions voice workflows as a differentiator, allowing reps to update CRM records during a commute using conversational AI. These configurations reference internal record IDs that do not transfer to Monday.com. We export a JSON representation of the voice workflow definitions for manual review, but the workflows cannot be auto-imported into Monday's automation framework because the trigger and action models are architecturally incompatible.

Migration approach

Six steps for a successful Sentia to monday CRM data migration

  1. Discovery and platform confirmation

    We confirm which Sentia product is in scope (Sentia CRM, not Sentia Spirits, Sentia MSP, or Sentia Labs) by validating the platform endpoint and data model against the GitBook documentation. We audit the source Sentia portal across tier (Basic $10/Starter $25/Ultimate $30), custom fields, pipeline count, active automations, and activity volume. We pair this with a Monday.com plan recommendation: Basic ($12/seat) for core CRM, Standard ($17/seat) for advanced contact and deal management, or Pro ($28/seat) for sales forecasting and analytics. Discovery output is a written migration scope and record-count baseline.

  2. Schema design and board structure mapping

    We design the destination structure in Monday.com CRM. This includes creating the CRM boards (People, Companies, Deals), configuring typed columns for all standard and custom fields, mapping Sentia pipeline stages to Monday status columns, and defining the label taxonomy for lead sources and tags. If the customer has multiple Sentia pipelines, we design multiple Monday boards or board groups to preserve pipeline separation. Schema is validated in a Monday test workspace before production migration.

  3. Lead-to-Contact merge rule and dedupe strategy

    Sentia's separate Lead object has no Monday CRM equivalent. We define the merge rule during scoping: all Sentia Leads become Monday People records with the original lead source preserved as a label. We use email address as the dedupe key for both Contacts and Leads, so that if a Contact and Lead share an email address, they are consolidated into a single Person record rather than creating a duplicate. The customer reviews and approves the merge logic before import begins.

  4. Owner reconciliation and team member provisioning

    We extract every distinct Sentia Owner referenced on Contact, Company, Deal, and Activity records and match by email against the Monday.com destination workspace members. Owners without a matching Monday user go to a reconciliation queue. The customer's Monday admin provisions any missing team members before record import resumes. Owner assignment on Deals and Activities is resolved at migration time via the user lookup table.

  5. Production migration in dependency order

    We run production migration in record-dependency order: Companies (created first as standalone entities), People (with Company linking resolved), Deals (with Person and Owner lookups satisfied), Activities (linked to Person and Deal records via email and deal-name resolution). Each phase emits a row-count reconciliation report before the next phase begins. Attachments migrate as files on the target record.

  6. Cutover, validation, and automation rebuild handoff

    We freeze Sentia writes during cutover, run a final delta migration of any records modified during the migration window, then enable Monday.com CRM as the system of record. We deliver the automation and workflow inventory document to the customer's admin team for manual rebuild in Monday's workflow builder. We support a one-week hypercare window where we resolve any reconciliation issues. We do not rebuild Sentia automations as Monday workflows inside the migration scope; that is a separate engagement or internal admin task.

Platform deep dives

Context on both ends of the pair

Sentia

Source

Strengths

  • Per-user pricing at $25 on Starter tier is competitive for small teams needing core CRM functionality without enterprise complexity.
  • Device-agnostic design ensures consistent access on mobile, tablet, and desktop without feature degradation.
  • Automatic lead capture on inbound channels reduces manual data entry for high-volume sales environments.

Weaknesses

  • Market presence is minimal with only 3 verified G2 reviews as of early 2026, making independent due diligence difficult for prospective customers.
  • Product confusion from multiple unrelated Sentia-branded companies in different verticals complicates vendor research and reference checks.
  • The platform lacks documented public API details in available research sources, making custom integration confidence low.

Destination

Strengths

  • Board-based UI makes pipeline stages and deal progress visually obvious without training.
  • No-code automation builder requires no developer resources to create lead routing and stage-triggered actions.
  • Flexible column system supports custom CRM fields without schema changes or admin involvement.
  • Integrates natively with Slack, Gmail, Outlook, and Zapier with minimal configuration overhead.
  • Layered product means teams already on monday Work Management can add CRM without migrating existing data.

Weaknesses

  • No native Contacts object separate from Items — contacts are managed inside a CRM module's People feature.
  • Pipeline and deal relationships use a flat item model rather than a relational object model, making complex CRM associations awkward.
  • Automations are plan-gated (250 actions/month on Standard, 25,000 on Pro) and the legacy Recipe system is being deprecated.
  • Customization and advanced views (Chart, Formula, Dependency) are locked behind Pro and Enterprise tiers.
  • Per-seat pricing with non-refundable annual billing creates cost lock-in risk during migration.

  • Field mapping clarity

    C

    Field mapping is derived from defaults — final spec confirmed during the sample migration.

  • Timeline complexity

    B

    8-object category — typical timelines run 2–7 days end-to-end.

  • API constraints

    B

    Sentia: Not publicly documented — confirmed during scoping. Effective limits are bounded by the underlying CRM's published rate quotas since Sentia reads/writes through that platform's API..

  • Data volume sensitivity

    B

    Sentia doesn't expose a bulk API — REST + parallelization used for high-volume runs.

Most migrations land between two and three weeks for accounts under 5,000 Contacts and 2,000 Deals with no custom objects and a single pipeline. Migrations with multiple pipelines, custom objects, large activity histories, or complex automation logic move to four to six weeks because of Monday column type mapping, board structure recreation, and activity timeline reconciliation.
