Overview
Moving from Simplicity Enterprise CRM to Monday.com CRM is an object-model migration, not a simple record copy. Simplicity uses a relational data structure with Contacts, Companies, Deals, Activities, Campaigns, Segments, and optional Loyalty modules linked by foreign keys. Monday.com CRM uses a board-item structure where People Boards store contact and company data, deal pipelines use board items with custom columns, and activities are logged as notes or status entries rather than distinct records. We begin every migration with a schema discovery step that enumerates all active fields and picklist values in the specific Simplicity instance, because nearly every field can be client-configured. Campaign response data requires explicit translation into tagged activity records, loyalty program data is stored as a custom object, and social interaction data is archived to preserve the signal without disrupting the core contact record. Workflows and automations do not migrate; we deliver a written inventory for the customer's admin to rebuild in Monday's automation builder.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a Simplicity Enterprise 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.
Simplicity Enterprise CRM
Contact
monday CRM
People Board Item
1:1Simplicity Contact records (name, email, phone, address, custom fields) map to Monday.com People Board items. The People Board is purpose-built for contact and company records and supports custom columns that mirror Simplicity's field structure. We resolve the picklist values from Simplicity against Monday column options (dropdown, status, or multi-select) during the field mapping phase. Contacts with linked Company records are imported after the Company board is seeded so that the company relationship is preserved as a link column.
Simplicity Enterprise CRM
Company
monday CRM
People Board Item (secondary group)
1:1Simplicity Company records map to People Board items in a dedicated group or as separate board items linked to Contact items. The company name becomes the primary column, and address and domain data map to text or link columns. Company records are imported before Contact records so that the contact-to-company link column can be resolved at insert time.
Simplicity Enterprise CRM
Deal
monday CRM
Deal Board Item
1:1Simplicity Deal records map to board items on a dedicated Deals board in Monday.com CRM. The pipeline stages from Simplicity (which are configurable per client) become Monday Status column values on the board. We design the board structure and stage mapping during scoping before any data moves. Deal value, close date, and owner fields map to number, date, and person columns respectively.
Simplicity Enterprise CRM
Deal Stage
monday CRM
Status Column
lossyEach Simplicity deal pipeline and its stage sequence maps to a Monday.com CRM pipeline board with a Status column representing the stage order. Stage probabilities from Simplicity are stored as a numeric column for reference, since Monday.com CRM does not natively support probability per stage in the same way as traditional CRMs.
Simplicity Enterprise CRM
Activity (Email, Call, Meeting, Note)
monday CRM
Note or Updates log on Item
1:1Simplicity Activity records (emails, calls, meetings, notes) linked to Contact or Company parents are translated into note entries logged on the corresponding People Board item in Monday.com. We preserve the activity type, timestamp, body content, and associated owner. Each activity type is flagged with a prefix (Email:, Call:, Meeting:, Note:) so that the full timeline is readable in the item's updates log.
Simplicity Enterprise CRM
Campaign
monday CRM
Campaigns Board + Tag associations
lossySimplicity Campaign records tracking multi-channel execution do not have a direct Monday.com CRM equivalent. We create a Campaigns board where each board item represents a campaign, and we link campaign-responding contacts by adding a tag to the People Board item (campaign name or campaign ID). Campaign response data (channel, date, status) is stored as columns on the Campaigns board item. This preserves the campaign-to-contact association without requiring a native campaign-response object.
Simplicity Enterprise CRM
Segment
monday CRM
Tag or Group on People Board
lossySimplicity Segments define which contacts belong to which behavioural or demographic group. Segment membership maps to Monday.com tags on People Board items. If the customer uses segments for static list management, we create a group structure on the People Board as an alternative. The customer chooses the segment strategy during scoping based on whether they use segments for marketing automation or for list filtering.
Simplicity Enterprise CRM
Loyalty Program
monday CRM
Custom Object (Loyalty)
1:1Simplicity Loyalty module records (program rules, reward tiers, point balances, membership status) are relational and link to Contact records. Monday.com CRM Business plan supports custom objects and the API allows custom item types. We create a Loyalty board (or custom object) where each item represents a contact's loyalty membership, storing program name, tier, points balance, and enrollment date as columns. The membership is linked back to the contact via a person column. This is a configuration-level object mapping that requires the customer to be on a Monday.com plan supporting custom structures.
Simplicity Enterprise CRM
Social Media Data
monday CRM
Note on People Board Item
1:1Simplicity social follower and interaction data linked to contact records has no native Monday.com CRM equivalent. We archive this data as a structured note on the corresponding People Board item, preserving the social platform, follower count, and last interaction date. This approach prevents the social signal from being lost while avoiding disruption to the core contact record structure.
Simplicity Enterprise CRM
Custom Fields (all objects)
monday CRM
Custom Columns
lossySimplicity's configurable schema means nearly every object can have client-defined custom fields with per-instance picklist values. We enumerate all active custom fields during schema discovery, map each to a typed Monday column (text, number, date, dropdown, multi-select, link, or person), and pre-create the columns before record import. Monday plan limits apply: Starter supports 10 custom fields, Basic 25, Pro 50, Business unlimited. If the migrated field count exceeds the plan tier, we flag this during scoping and recommend a plan upgrade before migration begins.

Pair-specific challenges
Migration approach
Schema discovery and custom field inventory
We run a discovery session against the Simplicity instance to enumerate all active objects, custom fields, picklist values, and relationships. This includes the Contacts, Companies, Deals, Activities, Campaigns, Segments, and any active Loyalty or Social modules. We produce a Simplicity field inventory spreadsheet listing every field, its type, and its picklist options. This inventory is the foundation for the Monday.com column design and is unique to each Simplicity environment.
Monday.com board design and column mapping
We design the Monday.com CRM board structure: a People Board for contacts and companies, one or more deal boards mapped to Simplicity pipeline stages, an activities board or notes log, and optionally a Campaigns board. We pre-create all columns matching the Simplicity field types (text, number, date, dropdown, multi-select, person, link) before any data import begins. If the custom field count exceeds the customer's Monday.com plan tier, we flag the gap and recommend a plan upgrade or field prioritization.
Sandbox migration and reconciliation
We run a full migration into a Monday.com test workspace using production-like data volume. The customer reconciles record counts (Contacts in, Companies in, Deals in, Activities in), spot-checks 20-30 random records against the Simplicity source, and validates the column mapping and tag structure. Schema corrections, picklist value mismatches, and missing columns are fixed in this phase. Sign-off on the sandbox migration is required before production import begins.
Record migration in dependency order
We run production migration in dependency order: Companies (first, as deal and contact links require them), Contacts (with company link resolved), Deals (with contact and owner links resolved), Activities (as notes on the contact and company items), Campaign data (as tags on contact items plus a Campaigns board), Loyalty data (as a custom board or structured attachment), and Social data (as structured notes on contact items). Each phase emits a row-count reconciliation report before the next phase begins. We use Monday.com's API with rate-limit handling and batch chunking to manage import throughput.
Cutover, validation, and automation inventory delivery
We freeze Simplicity writes during the cutover window, run a final delta migration of any records modified during the migration, then set Monday.com as the system of record. We deliver the Automation Inventory document listing every Simplicity workflow with its trigger, conditions, and a recommended Monday.com automation equivalent. We support a brief hypercare window where we resolve reconciliation issues raised by the customer's team. We do not rebuild Simplicity automations in Monday.com as part of the migration scope; that is a separate rebuild task for the customer's admin.
