Overview
Sentian Solutions stores CRM data in a traditional relational model — contacts, companies, deals, activities, and custom fields with standard field-type semantics. Monday CRM represents all CRM entities as items inside boards, using column types (text, number, date, person, status, etc.) to replicate field behavior. The migration translates Sentian's object-and-field graph into Monday's board-and-column architecture: each Sentian record type becomes a monday CRM board, each Sentian field becomes a monday CRM column of the equivalent type, and related records (contact-to-company, deal-to-contact) are modeled via monday CRM's person/contact columns and subitems. Sentian workflows, automations, and sequence logic do not transfer — Monday's automation engine operates differently and those rules must be rebuilt from exported definitions. The migration runs via Monday's API (board/item create/update endpoints) and monday's bulk-import CSV option for high-volume item ingestion, sequenced so that parent records (companies/contacts) land before their children (deals/activities). Custom properties including pick-list values, dependency rules, and conditional visibility settings are preserved as JSON metadata for manual reimplementation in Monday's column configuration tools.
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 Sentian Solutions 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.
Sentian Solutions
Contact
monday CRM
Monday CRM — Contacts Board / Person Column Item
1:1Sentian contact records map to monday CRM items in the Contacts board. Each item's name field holds the full name; primary email, phone, and job title map to monday CRM Text and Email column types. If monday CRM's Contacts board is not enabled, contacts migrate as items on a dedicated People board.
Sentian Solutions
Company / Account
monday CRM
Monday CRM — Companies Board / Item
1:1Sentian company records map to monday CRM items in a Companies board. Company name is the item name; domain, industry, employee count, and annual revenue map to monday CRM Text, Number, and dropdown column types. Parent-company hierarchies in Sentian become monday CRM group hierarchies or linked items via the connect board column.
Sentian Solutions
Deal / Opportunity
monday CRM
Monday CRM — Deals Board / Item
1:1Sentian deals migrate as monday CRM items in a Deals board. Deal name is the item name; amount, close date, stage, and owner map to Number, Date, Status, and Person columns respectively. Monday's Status column values are configured to match Sentian deal stages before migration runs.
Sentian Solutions
Deal Stage
monday CRM
Monday CRM — Status Column (per Deals board)
1:1Each Sentian deal stage name maps to a monday CRM Status column value. Stage ordering and color labels are replicated from Sentian's stage configuration. If Sentian stages vary by deal type, multiple monday CRM boards (or separate Status groups per board) represent each deal category.
Sentian Solutions
Contact-Company Association
monday CRM
Monday CRM — Person Column (on Deals board) + Companies board link
1:1Sentian's N:1 contact-to-company relationship migrates by placing the contact item's Person column on the associated deal item. For complex N:N setups, a monday CRM Connect Boards column links the Deal item to multiple Contact items. When a contact is associated with multiple companies, each company appears as a separate linked item or connect-board entry, allowing sales reps to view the full account history across all related organizations from a single contact record in Monday CRM.
Sentian Solutions
Activity — Call / Email / Meeting / Note
monday CRM
Monday CRM — Updates / Subitems (on Contact or Deal item)
1:1Sentian activity history (call logs, emails, meetings, notes) migrates as monday CRM updates on the parent Contact or Deal item, preserving the original timestamp and activity owner. High-volume activity logs may be migrated as subitems on the Contact item to keep the main item clean.
Sentian Solutions
Sentian Custom Objects
monday CRM
Monday CRM — Custom Board
1:1Sentian Enterprise custom objects map to dedicated monday CRM boards. Each custom object's properties become monday CRM columns; relationship fields between custom objects become connect board columns or linked item references. Monday CRM requires an Enterprise plan for unlimited custom columns.
Sentian Solutions
Sentian Custom Fields (on standard objects)
monday CRM
Monday CRM — Custom Columns (per board)
1:1Sentian custom fields on Contact, Company, or Deal objects become monday CRM custom columns on the corresponding board. Field type mapping: Sentian text → monday Text; picklist → monday Dropdown; number → monday Number; date → monday Date; user → monday Person. Column visibility is set per board.
Sentian Solutions
Attachment / File
monday CRM
Monday CRM — File Column (on item) + monday Files storage
1:1Sentian file attachments on contacts, companies, or deals are downloaded and re-uploaded to monday CRM's Files storage, then attached via the File column on the relevant item. File size limit in monday CRM is 250MB per file; large files are flagged before the migration window opens.
Sentian Solutions
User / Owner
monday CRM
Monday CRM — Person Column (user reference)
1:1Sentian owner IDs are resolved by email match against monday CRM workspace members. Unmatched owners are flagged before migration — teams either invite them to the monday CRM workspace first or assign records to a fallback owner. Owner history (who owned a deal historically) is preserved in a separate text column.
Sentian Solutions
Sentian Sequences / Automated Workflows
monday CRM
No Equivalent
1:1Sentian sequences and workflow rules cannot migrate to monday CRM because the two platforms' automation engines share no common definition format. FlitStack exports the Sentian workflow definitions as a JSON specification document so the Monday CRM admin can rebuild equivalent automations using monday's recipe builder.
Sentian Solutions
Sentian Reports / Dashboards
monday CRM
Monday CRM — Dashboard View / Chart Column
1:1Sentian reports aggregate data by pipeline, rep, and stage with custom filters. The underlying data migrates fully; the report configurations themselves (filter sets, grouping logic, chart types) are not transferable. monday CRM Dashboard view provides a replacement reporting surface but requires manual configuration by the admin.

Pair-specific challenges
Migration approach
Discover Sentian schema and map to Monday board architecture
FlitStack AI connects to the Sentian REST API and extracts the full object schema — all standard objects, custom objects, custom fields, pick-list values, and relationship definitions. We compare this against the target monday CRM workspace and produce a board-design plan: one monday CRM board per Sentian object (or per Sentian deal pipeline), column assignments per Sentian field, and a relationship matrix for cross-board links. The plan is reviewed with your monday CRM admin before any data moves.
Validate owner resolution and configure Monday CRM user access
Sentian owner IDs are cross-referenced against monday CRM workspace members by email. Owners with no matching monday CRM account are flagged as exceptions — FlitStack creates a placeholder 'Unassigned Owner' person column value and generates an exception report so your admin can either invite the owner to the monday CRM workspace or reassign records before go-live. No record migrates without a resolved owner or a documented exception.
Create Monday CRM boards and columns, then run sample migration
With the board-design plan approved, FlitStack creates monday CRM boards and columns via the API, matching Sentian pick-list values to monday CRM Status and Dropdown column options. A representative slice of records (typically 200–500 per object type) migrates first. We generate a field-level diff report showing source value, destination column value, and any transformation applied for every field — this is your validation checkpoint before the full run commits.
Execute full migration with delta-pickup window
The full Sentian dataset moves to monday CRM, sequenced to respect Monday's API rate limits. Monday's CSV import endpoint handles bulk item creation for validated record sets; API calls handle column updates and relationship wiring. A 24–48 hour delta-pickup window runs after the bulk load, capturing any Sentian records created or modified during the cutover window. FlitStack produces an audit log of every record operation and a one-click rollback manifest if reconciliation reveals data integrity issues.
Deliver export package for Monday CRM automation rebuild
FlitStack exports Sentian workflow definitions, sequence logic, and automation rules as a structured JSON specification document organized by object and trigger type. Your monday CRM admin uses this document as a rebuild reference for monday's automation recipes. The export also includes Sentian report configurations as a field-list and grouping reference so monday CRM Dashboard views can be constructed with the same data dimensions.
