Overview
Moving from Signpost to Monday.com CRM is a structural migration that requires re-thinking how customer records map to Monday.com's board-and-item paradigm. Signpost organizes around Businesses and their Contacts, with Mia managing automated review requests and campaign triggers; Monday.com CRM uses People records, Companies, and customizable boards where each Item represents a prospect, deal, or service record. We map Contact records 1:1 to Monday.com People, Business records to Companies, and Appointments to Items on a dedicated board. Review request history (which Signpost tracks per-contact) migrates as custom properties on the People record since Monday.com CRM has no native review management module. Mia-driven automations, shared inbox message threads, and campaign trigger logic do not migrate; we document every active Mia rule as a structured audit form and deliver it with the migration package so your team can rebuild equivalent automations in Monday.com's native automation engine.
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 Signpost 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.
Signpost
Contact
monday CRM
People
1:1Signpost Contacts migrate 1:1 to Monday.com People. Name, email, phone, address, and business association map directly. Contact owner maps to Monday.com User assignment. Any missing required fields in Monday.com People (such as email when the source record lacks one) are flagged for customer review before import. We use the email address as the dedupe key to prevent duplicate People records during import.
Signpost
Business
monday CRM
Company
1:1Signpost Business records map to Monday.com Company records. Business name becomes Company name; business address maps to the Company address fields. If the Signpost Business has a parent franchise or multi-location hierarchy, we preserve that structure as Monday.com's Company hierarchy (parent-Company lookup). The Company record is created before Contact import so that People can be linked at insert time.
Signpost
Review Request
monday CRM
Custom Properties on People
lossySignpost tracks review request timing, status, and customer response (positive, negative, flagged for internal resolution). Monday.com CRM has no native review management module. We migrate the most recent review status as a custom property on the People record (such as Last Review Status). Full solicitation history is flattened into a text field or long-text column since the destination does not support a multi-event review history object.
Signpost
Appointment
monday CRM
Item on a Calendar Board
1:1Signpost Appointments (scheduling data, customer association, status, and timing) migrate to Monday.com Items on a dedicated Appointments or Scheduling board. Appointment type, date, customer link, and status map to Item columns. If Signpost has custom appointment types (such as site visit, consultation, or estimate), we create matching Status or Label columns in Monday.com to preserve categorization.
Signpost
Campaign
monday CRM
Board with Items or automation rules
1:manySignpost Campaigns (email and SMS with Mia-driven triggers) do not have a direct Monday.com CRM equivalent because Monday.com has no native email or SMS campaign module. Campaign names and contact targeting lists migrate as a Monday.com Board with one Item per target contact. The automated trigger logic (Mia rules) does not migrate; we document the campaign trigger conditions in the automation audit form for manual rebuild in Monday.com Automations or via a third-party email tool like Mailchimp or HubSpot.
Signpost
Payment
monday CRM
Custom Object (via Board)
lossySignpost Payments tracks payment status against invoices or estimates. Monday.com CRM does not have a native payment or invoicing module. We migrate payment records as Items on a dedicated Payments board with columns for amount, status, date, and related People or Company link. Signpost Payments is a separate product tier; if the customer does not use Signpost Payments, this object is skipped.
Signpost
Tag and Segment
monday CRM
Tag on People or Label Column
1:1Signpost contact segments and tags used for campaign targeting migrate as Tags on Monday.com People records. Tags used for data classification in reporting migrate as a Label or Tag column on the People board. Any segment logic that relied on Mia's behavioral scoring (such as auto-updated segment membership based on engagement) is flagged for manual reconstruction as Monday.com Automation rules.
Signpost
User and Owner
monday CRM
User
1:1Signpost User accounts and owner assignments on records map to Monday.com User accounts. We resolve by email match. Any Signpost Owner without a matching Monday.com User goes to a reconciliation queue for the customer's admin to provision before record import begins. Inactive Signpost users migrate as inactive Monday.com users.
Signpost
Automated Workflows (Mia)
monday CRM
Not Migrated
1:1Mia-driven workflow automations are behavioral rules that execute based on contact activity scoring and proprietary decisioning logic. These automations are not accessible via any documented export endpoint. We do not migrate them. During scoping, we document every active Mia rule as reported by the customer and provide a structured automation audit form so the customer's team can manually rebuild those rules in Monday.com Automations.

Pair-specific challenges
Migration approach
Discovery and scope confirmation
We audit the Signpost account for record counts (Contacts, Businesses, Appointments, Campaigns, Review Requests), active Mia automation rules, custom field definitions, and contact suppression lists. We pair this with a Monday.com CRM account audit to confirm the destination plan level and identify any column type limitations. The discovery output is a written migration scope that itemizes every object, flags what will not migrate, and estimates timeline and cost based on record volume and custom field complexity.
Monday.com board schema design
We design the Monday.com CRM board structure before any data moves. This includes a People board (with columns mapped from Signpost Contact fields), a Companies board (mapped from Signpost Business records), an Appointments board (mapped from Signpost Scheduling), and any custom boards needed for Payments or campaign tracking. Custom Contact properties from Signpost (such as last review status) are created as Monday.com column types during this phase. We validate the board schema in a test Monday.com workspace before production migration begins.
Mia automation audit and suppression list extraction
We run a structured interview with the customer to document every active Mia automation rule, including trigger conditions, follow-up timing, and target audiences. We also extract the contact suppression list from Signpost. The automation audit form and suppression list are delivered as structured documents alongside the migration package. This work happens before production migration begins so the customer has time to plan Monday.com Automation rebuilds and reinstate opt-out flags in the new system.
Test migration in Monday.com test workspace
We run a full migration into a Monday.com test workspace using production-like data volume. The customer reconciles record counts (People in, Companies in, Appointments in), spot-checks 20-30 random People records against Signpost source data, and confirms the column mapping and board structure before production migration begins. Corrections to column types, field mapping, and board layout happen in the test workspace, not in production.
Production migration in dependency order
We run production migration in record-dependency order: Companies (from Signpost Businesses) first so that People can link to them, then People (from Signpost Contacts) with owner assignments resolved via User email match, then Appointments as Items on the Appointments board. Review request status migrates as a custom column on People. Campaigns migrate as board-level documentation (not automated triggers). Each phase emits a row-count reconciliation report before the next phase begins.
Cutover, validation, and automation rebuild handoff
We pause active Signpost outreach campaigns before cutover. We 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 Mia automation audit form and suppression list with a walkthrough of how to recreate equivalent automations in Monday.com Automations. We support a three-day hypercare window for reconciliation issues. We do not rebuild Signpost Mia automations as Monday.com Automations inside the migration scope; that work is handled by the customer's team or a Monday.com partner using the audit form as the specification.
