Overview
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.
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 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
monday CRM
Person
1:1Sentia 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
monday CRM
Company
1:1Sentia 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
monday CRM
Person (merged)
many:1Sentia 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
monday CRM
Deal
1:1Sentia 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
monday CRM
Board Column (Status)
lossySentia 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)
monday CRM
Emails and Activities Timeline
1:1Sentia 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
monday CRM
Column (various types)
lossySentia 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)
monday CRM
Team Member
1:1Sentia 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
monday CRM
File (on Item)
1:1File 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
monday CRM
Label
lossySentia 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.

Migration approach
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

Field mapping clarity
Field mapping is derived from defaults — final spec confirmed during the sample migration.
Timeline complexity
8-object category — typical timelines run 2–7 days end-to-end.
API constraints
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
Sentia doesn't expose a bulk API — REST + parallelization used for high-volume runs.
