Overview
ServeManager structures its data around process-serving workflows: Jobs contain one or more Attempts, each capturing GPS coordinates, photos, electronic signatures, and disposition codes. Companies are the law firms or individuals who hire process servers; Invoices and Payments track billing; Server Payables manage processor compensation. Monday CRM models everything as Boards containing Items with customizable columns — there is no native Jobs object, no native Attempts tracking, and no built-in GPS column type. FlitStack AI maps ServeManager Jobs to a monday CRM board where each Item represents a serve job, with attempt history stored as subitems or linked Items on a separate Attempts board. GPS coordinates and photo proof migrate as text columns or file attachments. Client companies map to monday CRM Contacts and Companies. Invoices and payments map to a separate financial board. Monday CRM automations do not migrate — any ServeManager notification rules, auto-assignment logic, or client-update triggers must be rebuilt using monday.com's Automation Recipes after migration. We use ServeManager's CSV export endpoint and API access to extract all objects, then bulk-load them into Monday's board structure via the monday.com API.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a ServeManager 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.
ServeManager
Job
monday CRM
Board (Serve Jobs) / Item
1:1Each ServeManager Job becomes one Item on a 'Serve Jobs' monday CRM board. The board's default group columns (Status, Due Date, Priority) map to Job.status, Job.due_date, and a custom priority column. Job type (service type) becomes a Labels or Dropdown column.
ServeManager
Job
monday CRM
Board (Clients) / Item (linked)
1:1The client (law firm or individual) referenced in Job.company_id is migrated as a linked Item on a separate Clients board using monday CRM's Connect Boards column. This bidirectional link preserves the client-to-job relationship without duplicating client data across multiple job records. The Clients board also stores client-specific details like billing terms and contact information for reference on individual job items.
ServeManager
Attempt
monday CRM
Subitem on Serve Jobs Item
1:1Each Attempt on a Job becomes a Subitem of the corresponding Item. Subitem columns capture attempt number, date/time, GPS coordinates as a Text column, disposition code, photos as file attachments, and electronic signature status. Monday CRM Subitems inherit the parent Item's board context automatically.
ServeManager
Attempt
monday CRM
Board (Attempts Log) / Item (alternative)
1:1If your team prefers a flat log over subitems, FlitStack creates a separate 'Attempts Log' board where each Item represents one attempt, with a Connect Boards column linking back to the parent Job Item. This requires a custom 'Job Reference' column created in Monday CRM before migration.
ServeManager
Company
monday CRM
Contact + Organization
many:1ServeManager Companies are merged into monday CRM's dual-record structure: Company name becomes the Organization name, while the primary contact name and email create a linked Contact record under that Organization. Physical address, phone number, and billing terms migrate as additional columns on the Organization, providing a complete client profile in the Monday CRM Contacts section.
ServeManager
Invoice
monday CRM
Board (Invoices) / Item
1:1Each ServeManager Invoice is created as a separate Item on a dedicated Invoices board. The Item captures invoice number, invoice date, total amount, payment status (Paid/Unpaid/Overdue), and due date in dedicated columns. Any Stripe payment reference stored in ServeManager's payment record migrates as a text field for reconciliation purposes.
ServeManager
Payment
monday CRM
Item on Invoices board (linked)
1:1ServeManager Payment records are migrated as Items on the Invoices board or a linked Payments board, with a Connect Boards column establishing the relationship to the originating Invoice Item. Each Payment Item stores payment date, payment amount, payment method, and the Stripe transaction ID from ServeManager for cross-referencing payment records against bank statements.
ServeManager
Server Payable
monday CRM
Board (Processor Payroll) / Item
1:1ServeManager Server Payables have no monday CRM equivalent. FlitStack creates a 'Processor Payroll' board where each Item represents a payable record, with columns for processor name (linked Contact), job reference (Connect Boards to Serve Jobs), rate, amount, and payment status. Your admin configures compensation-rate logic as Monday formulas after migration.
ServeManager
Job Attachment / Affidavit
monday CRM
Files on Job Item
1:1ServeManager file attachments — including affidavits, proof-of-service documents, and uploaded files — are migrated as Files attached directly to the corresponding Job Item in monday CRM. The original filename and original upload date are preserved as metadata. Monday CRM's file storage limits apply based on your plan tier, with the Enterprise plan offering expanded storage capacity for high-volume attachment archives.
ServeManager
Custom Field (Job-level)
monday CRM
Custom Column on Serve Jobs board
1:1ServeManager custom fields on Jobs map to monday CRM custom columns on the Serve Jobs board. Column type is inferred from the source field type: text fields → Text, dates → Date, options → Dropdown or Labels. Your admin reviews and assigns the correct monday column type during the pre-migration schema review.
ServeManager
GPS Coordinate
monday CRM
Text column or Location column
1:1ServeManager stores GPS latitude and longitude separately per attempt. FlitStack combines these into a single Text column ('GPS Coordinates') in standard 'latitude, longitude' format (e.g., '39.7385, -104.9855'). monday CRM has no native geolocation column type for map visualization — for mapping visualization of serve locations, a third-party integration like Maplytics can plot these text coordinates on a map widget after migration.
ServeManager
User / Owner
monday CRM
monday CRM Team Member
1:1ServeManager users (process servers, administrators, and billing staff) are mapped to monday CRM team members using email address matching as the primary key. Any unmatched users are flagged during the pre-migration audit for your admin to create or assign manually. Monday CRM permissions operate at the workspace level, so your admin configures board access after migration based on the role data extracted from ServeManager.

Migration approach
Audit ServeManager export scope and design monday CRM board structure
FlitStack connects to your ServeManager account via API and CSV export to inventory all objects: Jobs, Attempts, Companies, Invoices, Payments, and Server Payables. We count records per object, identify custom fields on Jobs, and flag any Attempts with large photo or affidavit attachments. Based on this audit, we deliver a monday CRM board design — the Serve Jobs board schema, Attempts board structure (subitem vs. linked-item), Clients board, Invoices board, and Processor Payroll board — so your admin creates the boards and custom columns before migration data arrives.
Export and transform ServeManager data, resolve owner mappings
We extract Jobs, Attempts, Companies, Invoices, Payments, and Server Payables from ServeManager's export endpoints. Attempt photos and signatures are downloaded as files. Server and admin users are matched to monday CRM team members by email — unmatched users are flagged for your admin to create or assign. GPS coordinates from Attempts are concatenated into a text column format. Custom field values on Jobs are mapped to monday CRM column types (text, date, dropdown, labels) during this phase.
Run sample migration and field-level diff
A representative sample — typically 50–200 Jobs spanning multiple statuses, 1–3 Attempts per Job, and a cross-section of Companies and Invoices — migrates first. We generate a field-level diff report showing source values vs. destination column values for every mapped field. You verify attempt history display (subitem nesting), GPS text formatting, client linking via Connect Boards, and invoice reconciliation. Any column type mismatches or mapping errors are corrected before the full run commits.
Execute full migration with delta-pickup window
Full data migration runs in batches respecting monday.com's API rate limits for your plan tier. Companies and Clients load first (to populate Organizations and Contacts), then Jobs, then Attempts as Subitems or linked Items. Invoices and Payments load last. A delta-pickup window (24–48 hours) captures any new Jobs or Attempts created in ServeManager during cutover. Audit log tracks every operation. One-click rollback is available if reconciliation reveals missing records or mapping errors.
Post-migration review and automation rebuild handoff
FlitStack delivers a reconciliation report comparing ServeManager record counts against monday CRM Item counts per board. Your team validates attempt history visibility, client linking, and invoice totals. We provide an Automation Rebuild Reference document listing every ServeManager notification rule, auto-assignment trigger, and client-update workflow — with monday.com Automation Recipe equivalents your admin can implement. GPS visualization options (third-party map integrations) are documented in the handoff report.
