Overview
Sharp CRM and Monday.com CRM use fundamentally different data models. Sharp CRM stores records as structured objects (Contacts, Companies, Deals, Tasks, Activities) in a traditional CRM schema. Monday.com CRM represents the same data as boards, items, and customizable columns on the Work OS. We translate Sharp CRM's object schema into a Monday.com board architecture — a Contacts board, a Companies board, a Deals pipeline board with stage groups — and map every Sharp CRM field to a typed Monday.com column before ingestion. Sharp CRM has no publicly documented API in the research record, so the export path must be confirmed per customer during scoping; if only CSV export is available, we adjust the timeline for multi-step file processing. Automations, follow-up sequences, and workflow rules do not migrate; we deliver a written automation inventory for Monday.com's admin to rebuild using its native automation builder.
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 Sharp CRM 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.
Sharp CRM
Contact
monday CRM
Contacts board (item)
1:1Sharp CRM Contacts map to items in a Monday.com Contacts board. Each contact is a single item with columns for name, email, phone, address, company link, and custom fields. The Monday.com Contacts board uses the native CRM layout when Monday CRM is installed, which presents contact cards with deal history and activity feed. We create the board first, add all column types to match Sharp CRM's field set, then import items by email as the dedupe key.
Sharp CRM
Company
monday CRM
Companies board (item)
1:1Sharp CRM Company records map to items in a Monday.com Companies board. Company name, domain, industry, address, and custom fields become columns. We link each Company item to its related Contact items via a Connect column or the CRM-native Account link, so the relationship between company and contact is preserved in Monday.com. Companies import first so that Contact items can reference them at insert time.
Sharp CRM
Deal
monday CRM
Deals pipeline board (item by stage group)
1:manySharp CRM Deals map to items in a Deals pipeline board. Each Sharp CRM pipeline becomes a separate Monday.com board. Sharp CRM pipeline stages (e.g., Prospect, Qualified, Proposal, Closed Won, Closed Lost) become Groups within the Deals board. Deal value, close date, and owner migrate as columns. If Sharp CRM has multiple pipelines, we create multiple Monday.com boards and map the pipeline assignment to the board name. Deal-to-Contact linkage is preserved via a Connect column linking the Deal item to the associated Contact item.
Sharp CRM
Pipeline Stage
monday CRM
Group (in Deals board)
lossySharp CRM's configurable pipeline stage names do not have a standard export format. We collect the customer's full stage list during scoping and build a stage-to-group mapping table before import. Each stage becomes a Group in the Deals board, and Deal items are placed in the correct Group based on the mapping table. Group color coding and ordering are set to match the customer's current pipeline visual layout.
Sharp CRM
Task
monday CRM
Tasks board (item)
1:1Sharp CRM Tasks (title, due date, assignee, status) map to items in a Tasks board. Due date becomes a Date column, assignee becomes a Person column, and status maps to a Status column with values (To Do, In Progress, Done) matching the source. Tasks with a related Contact or Deal reference link to the relevant item via a Connect column so the task is accessible from the Contact or Deal board.
Sharp CRM
Activity
monday CRM
Activities board (item)
1:1Sharp CRM Activities (calls, emails, notes, meetings) attach to Contacts or Companies. We create an Activities board where each activity is an item with a Type column (Call, Email, Note, Meeting), a Date column, and a Content column carrying the activity body as plain text. We link each activity item to the related Contact item via a Connect column, preserving the activity timeline against the contact record. Email attachments and call recordings are exported as files and linked via a file column.
Sharp CRM
Custom Field
monday CRM
Column (on relevant board)
lossySharp CRM custom fields are common due to the platform's use across diverse verticals. We enumerate all custom fields during scoping, classify each by data type (text, number, date, person, dropdown, checkbox), and create matching columns on the appropriate Monday.com board before import. Dropdown and checkbox fields in Sharp CRM map to Status or Dropdown columns in Monday.com. Any custom field without a clear Monday.com equivalent is flagged for the customer to resolve during scoping.
Sharp CRM
Tag
monday CRM
Label column (on relevant board)
lossySharp CRM tags on Contacts and Deals map to a Labels column in Monday.com. Tags stored as arrays in Sharp CRM become multiple Label values on the item. We export the tag vocabulary during scoping and pre-create the label values in Monday.com so that import populates them directly without manual label creation.
Sharp CRM
User
monday CRM
Member (workspace access)
1:1Sharp CRM Users (name, email, role) map to Monday.com workspace Members. We resolve users by email match. Any Sharp CRM owner referenced on a Deal or Task without a matching Monday.com Member is held in a reconciliation queue for the customer's admin to provision before record import resumes. Active/inactive status from Sharp CRM maps to the Member's account status in Monday.com.
Sharp CRM
Attachment
monday CRM
File column (on relevant item)
1:1File attachments associated with Sharp CRM Contacts or Deals are exported to a file store and linked to the corresponding Monday.com item via a File column. We preserve the original filename and attach it directly to the item. If a file exceeds Monday.com's storage limits, we provide a download link in the item notes.

Gotchas + challenges
Platform-specific issues from each side, plus the pair-specific challenges that don't show up on either platform's page on its own.
Sharp CRM gotchas
No documented public API in the research record
Workflows and automations do not export natively
Custom fields are common and require per-customer mapping
Pipeline stage definitions must be mapped manually
monday CRM gotchas
Subitems are not included in bulk exports
Daily API call limits vary sharply by plan
Legacy automations (Sentence Builder) are being deprecated
Excel and account exports only include table views
Enterprise admins can disable non-admin exports
Pair-specific challenges
Migration approach
Discovery and export path confirmation
We audit the Sharp CRM account across every object: Contact count, Company count, Deal count and pipeline count, Task and Activity volume, custom field inventory, and tag vocabulary. We ask the customer directly what export options they have seen in the platform — CSV export per object, native export functions, or API access — and confirm whether attachments are stored in Sharp CRM or a linked file store. This step produces a written migration scope, a record count baseline for post-migration reconciliation, and a confirmed export path that determines whether the migration uses API, CSV, or a hybrid approach.
Monday.com board architecture design
We design the Monday.com board architecture based on the Sharp CRM object inventory: a Contacts board, a Companies board, one or more Deals pipeline boards, a Tasks board, and an Activities board. We define every column on every board — column name, column type, and any constraints — to match the Sharp CRM field set. Custom fields are classified by type and mapped to the closest Monday.com column type. The architecture design is documented in a board schema file and reviewed with the customer before any Monday.com workspace is touched.
Data extraction and cleansing
We extract data from Sharp CRM using the confirmed export path. If CSV is the only option, we extract each object in dependency order — Companies first, then Contacts, then Deals, then Tasks and Activities — and normalize headers to match the Sharp CRM field names. We run a data quality pass: duplicate detection by email (Contacts) and company name (Companies), missing required field flags, and invalid date format corrections. Any records failing validation are held in a remediation queue for the customer to resolve before import proceeds.
Stage mapping and automation inventory
We collect the customer's full Sharp CRM pipeline stage list and build a stage-to-group mapping table. Each Sharp CRM stage becomes a Group in the corresponding Monday.com Deals board, with the group ordered to match the current pipeline layout. We also complete the automation inventory: every Sharp CRM workflow, follow-up sequence, and campaign trigger is documented with its trigger conditions, actions, and recommended Monday.com automation equivalent. This document is delivered to the customer at the end of the migration for admin-side rebuild.
Staging import and reconciliation
We run a staging import into a test Monday.com workspace using a representative data sample. The customer reconciles record counts (Contacts in, Companies in, Deals in), spot-checks 20-30 records for field accuracy, and confirms the board architecture is correct before production migration begins. Any column mapping corrections, custom field additions, or group name adjustments happen in staging. Owner reconciliation also completes here: any Sharp CRM user without a matching Monday.com Member is flagged for the customer's admin to provision.
Production import and cutover
We run production migration in dependency order: Companies first (to establish organization records), then Contacts with company links resolved, then Deals in the pipeline board with stage groups assigned, then Tasks and Activities linked to their parent Contact items. Each phase emits a row-count reconciliation report. After final import, we run a spot-validation against the Sharp CRM source record count baseline. We do not migrate automations, workflows, or sequences; those are delivered as the automation inventory document. A two-week hypercare window covers post-import reconciliation issues raised by the customer's team.
