Overview
SharpSpring combines a CRM with marketing automation, storing contacts with custom properties, companies, and deals organized in named pipelines with stage-level probability and owner assignment. Monday CRM models the same data as Boards containing Items, where the Status column represents pipeline stages, People entities store contact records, and Organizations store company data. The migration maps SharpSpring contacts to Monday People or Contact-board Items, companies to Organizations, and SharpSpring deals to Items on deal boards with their pipeline stage value reflected in the Status column. We extract SharpSpring data via API, applying a sequenced import order — Organizations first, then People, then deal Items — so foreign-key references resolve correctly. Custom property values from SharpSpring land as custom columns in Monday. Activity history (emails, calls, meetings logged in SharpSpring) migrates as Item updates with original timestamps and owner attribution preserved. SharpSpring's visual workflow builder automations, email sequences, lead scoring logic, and behavioral tracking data do not have native equivalents in Monday CRM and must be rebuilt manually; we export the workflow definitions as a rebuild reference to accelerate that process. Monday's API enforces daily call limits by plan tier, so large-volume migrations may require batching or a Pro/Enterprise API key to stay within the 10,000 calls-per-day ceiling during the migration window.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a Sharpspring 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.
Sharpspring
Contact
monday CRM
Person (People entity) or Contact Board Item
1:1SharpSpring contacts map directly to Monday CRM People entities. Each contact's name, email, phone, and custom properties become the Person record's corresponding fields and custom columns. SharpSpring contacts without an email are flagged for manual review before import since Monday requires an email for People creation.
Sharpspring
Company
monday CRM
Organization
1:1SharpSpring company records map to Monday CRM Organizations. Company name, domain, industry, employee count, and annual revenue become Organization fields. Multi-company associations on a single SharpSpring contact are preserved by linking the primary Organization and surfacing secondary companies as text in a custom column.
Sharpspring
Deal
monday CRM
Item (on Pipeline Board)
1:1SharpSpring deals map to Items on Monday CRM deal boards. Each deal's name, amount, close date, and owner become Item columns. The SharpSpring pipeline stage value maps to the Monday Status column option, preserving the stage name and associated probability as a number column for reference.
Sharpspring
Pipeline
monday CRM
Board
1:1Each SharpSpring deal pipeline becomes a Monday CRM Board. The board name matches the pipeline name. SharpSpring stage names are created as Status column options on that board. Stage order and probability are preserved in a companion number column for forecasting continuity.
Sharpspring
Lead / Opportunity
monday CRM
Person (People entity) with Status column value
1:1SharpSpring does not separate Leads and Contacts at the object level the way traditional CRMs do. We map all SharpSpring contacts to Monday People regardless of lifecycle status. For reporting continuity, we flag contacts that were actively worked as opportunities in SharpSpring using a custom Status column (e.g., New, Working, Qualified).
Sharpspring
Activity (Email, Call, Meeting, Note)
monday CRM
Item Updates / Subitem
1:1SharpSpring engagement records — emails logged, calls recorded, meetings scheduled, and notes — migrate as Updates on the related Monday Item with original timestamps and owner attribution. Each update records the activity type, subject, and body so the full contact history is visible in the Monday Item timeline.
Sharpspring
Tag
monday CRM
Labels column or Text column
1:1SharpSpring tags applied to contacts and deals migrate as Monday Labels (if the board uses the Labels column type) or as comma-separated text in a custom Text column. We preserve all tag values so segmentation logic referenced in SharpSpring automations can be reconstructed using Monday's filtering capabilities.
Sharpspring
Custom Property (Contact)
monday CRM
Custom Column on Person
1:1SharpSpring custom contact properties (field-level custom fields created by the user) become Monday custom columns on the People entity. Field type determines the Monday column type: text properties map to Text columns, pick-list properties map to Dropdown columns with value-by-value mapping, and date properties map to Date columns.
Sharpspring
Custom Property (Deal)
monday CRM
Custom Column on Item
1:1SharpSpring custom deal properties migrate as custom columns on deal board Items. For deal-specific pick-list values (e.g., deal type, product line), we map each SharpSpring option to a Monday Dropdown value. Custom number fields (e.g., deal probability override) map to Monday Number columns.
Sharpspring
VisitorID / Tracking Data
monday CRM
Custom Text Column
1:1SharpSpring's VisitorID tracking generates anonymous visitor profiles and behavioral data (pages visited, session duration) that has no Monday CRM equivalent. We preserve the raw tracking data as a custom Text column for reference, but the behavioral intelligence layer must be rebuilt using Monday integrations or a separate analytics tool post-migration.
Sharpspring
Lead Score
monday CRM
Custom Number Column
1:1SharpSpring's numeric lead score (calculated from page visits, email engagement, and form fills) has no native equivalent in Monday CRM. We copy the score value to a custom Number column on the Person record. The automated scoring logic itself — how points accumulate per behavior — must be rebuilt in Monday using formula columns or an external scoring tool.
Sharpspring
Form Submission
monday CRM
Item Update (on Contact Board)
1:1SharpSpring form submissions are preserved as Updates on the associated contact's Monday Person record, documenting the form name, submission date, and all fields submitted. Landing page context including the source URL, referring domain, and UTM parameters (utm_source, utm_medium, utm_campaign) is preserved as text within the update body so the acquisition channel context remains visible in Monday's timeline for each contact.

Migration approach
Audit SharpSpring data and design Monday CRM schema
We begin every SharpSpring migration with a structured data audit. We extract a full export of your SharpSpring contacts, companies, deals, and activity history via the SharpSpring API, catalog every custom property (field name, type, pick-list values), and document each deal pipeline with its stage names and probability values. From this audit we produce a Monday CRM schema plan: a board-per-pipeline design, column configurations for each board, People and Organization entity setups, and a custom field creation checklist. This plan is reviewed with your team before any data moves, so the Monday side is fully prepared for the import.
Cleanse and sequence data for import order
SharpSpring data often contains duplicates, incomplete records, and formatting inconsistencies that compound across years of use. We deduplicate contacts by email address (keeping the most recently updated record), normalize phone number formats, strip invalid characters from text fields, and flag records missing critical data (e.g., contacts with no email) for your team to resolve. We also sequence the migration order — Organizations first, then People, then deal Items — so that Monday's foreign-key references (Person linked to Organization, Item linked to Person) resolve correctly during import.
Resolve owner assignments by email match
SharpSpring stores an owner (user) reference on contacts, companies, and deals. We match SharpSpring owner email addresses against Monday user accounts by email. Matches are automatically linked; any SharpSpring owner whose email does not correspond to a Monday user is flagged before migration and assigned to a fallback owner you designate. No record migrates without a valid Monday owner, preventing orphaned Items in your deal boards.
Run sample migration with field-level diff
Before committing the full migration, we run a sample import covering 100–500 representative records — a cross-section of contacts, companies, deals spanning multiple pipeline stages, and a selection of custom field values. We generate a field-level diff report comparing source values against the Monday destination values for every mapped field, with special attention to Status column stage mapping, custom Dropdown value translations, and date/time preservation. You review the diff and approve before the full run proceeds.
Execute full migration with delta pickup window
The full migration runs against Monday CRM using sequenced API calls that respect your plan's daily call limits. A delta pickup window — typically 24–48 hours — opens after the initial load completes. During this window, any SharpSpring records created or modified while the migration was running are captured and imported as a second pass, ensuring Monday reflects SharpSpring's final state at go-live. We generate an audit log covering every record created, updated, or skipped, and run a reconciliation count against SharpSpring totals.
