Overview
Socrates stores customer data as a persistent-memory graph where agents track interactions, reason about relationships, and surface next-best actions automatically. Monday CRM uses a board-based model where records are items, fields are columns, and relationships are handled through item links and subitems. FlitStack AI extracts Socrates data via the REST or Graph API, transforms each record into Monday's item-column format, and maps AI‑generated fields such as memory flags, relationship scores, and agent notes to Monday text columns or archived reference items. Automations and agent‑driven workflows built in Socrates do not transfer; they must be rebuilt manually using Monday's When‑Then recipe builder. The migration runs as a sequenced import: companies and contacts first to establish the organization hierarchy, then deals and activities with their ownership, timestamps, and tags. Relationship links are reconstructed through Monday's primary organization link and subitem associations. A 24‑48 hour delta‑pickup window runs concurrently at cut‑over to capture any records created or modified during the data‑transfer phase, ensuring Monday reflects Socrates' final state. FlitStack also validates field‑level mapping, flags unresolved owners, and provides an audit log of every record inserted.
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 Socrates 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.
Socrates
Contact
monday CRM
CRM Board → Contact Item
1:1Socrates contacts become items on a dedicated Contacts board in Monday CRM. Each contact's properties map to columns on the item. The contact's primary company link becomes the item's main link field; secondary company associations surface as subitems. If a contact has multiple tags, these map to Monday's tag column or status groups, and any custom fields such as "Lead Source" are created as dropdown or text columns in the Contacts board.
Socrates
Company
monday CRM
CRM Board → Organization Item
1:1Socrates companies map 1:1 to Monday CRM organization items on a Companies board. Company domain, industry, employee count, and revenue become Monday columns. Parent-company hierarchy translates to item group structure within the board. If a company has a logo or primary contact, those assets are attached as Monday files to the organization item, and any related deals are linked via the Deals board's organization link.
Socrates
Deal
monday CRM
CRM Board → Deal Item
1:1Socrates deals migrate as items on a Deals board. The deal name becomes the item title, amount maps to a number column, and stage maps to a Monday status column. Multi-stage pipelines in Socrates require multiple status groups or separate boards in Monday CRM.
Socrates
Activity (Call/Email/Meeting)
monday CRM
Activity Subitems
1:1Socrates logged activities (calls, emails, meetings) migrate as subitems attached to the relevant contact or deal item. Each subitem carries a date column, owner column, type column (call/email/meeting), and notes column. Original timestamps and owners are preserved. If an activity includes an attachment, FlitStack uploads the file to the subitem's file section, respecting Monday's 25 MB per‑file limit. Custom activity fields such as "Outcome" are mapped to additional text or dropdown columns.
Socrates
Relationship Score
monday CRM
Custom Number Column
1:1Socrates' AI-generated relationship scores have no Monday CRM equivalent. We map these to a custom number column (Relationship_Score__c) on contact items. Teams must configure thresholds manually in Monday's automation recipes if they want stage-based triggers. The column can be displayed as a numeric gauge or used in formulas to color‑code contacts by score. FlitStack also logs the original score range for reference during threshold setup.
Socrates
Agent Memory / Notes
monday CRM
Text Columns / Archived Items
1:1Socrates stores agent-generated memory and reasoning notes per contact. Monday CRM has no native memory layer. These migrate as text columns on contact items or as separate archive board items for reference. Teams using Socrates AI-memory heavily must rebuild reasoning workflows manually in Monday automations.
Socrates
Custom Object
monday CRM
Custom Board
1:1Socrates custom objects map to dedicated Monday CRM boards. Each custom object record becomes a board item. Custom object fields become board columns. Relationships between custom objects translate to Monday item links or subitem hierarchies. If a custom object has a many‑to‑many relationship with contacts or deals, FlitStack creates a junction board and links items via Monday's item‑link column, preserving the association for downstream reporting.
Socrates
Tag / Label
monday CRM
Tag Column / Status Group
1:1Socrates contact and deal tags map to Monday CRM's tag column type or status groups per board. Value-by-value mapping ensures tag labels match exactly. Tags used for segmentation may require Monday-side list views or filters as replacement for Socrates' auto-segmentation.
Socrates
Owner / User
monday CRM
Person Column
1:1Socrates owners resolve to Monday CRM users by email match. Unmatched owners are flagged before migration — teams either invite them to Monday or assign records to a fallback user. Monday's person column shows assignee per item. If a Socrates owner has multiple assigned records, all items are updated to the matched Monday user in a single batch operation, preserving the original assignment history in the item’s activity log.
Socrates
File / Attachment
monday CRM
Monday Files
1:1Socrates file attachments re-upload to Monday CRM's file storage per item. Monday's 25MB per-file limit applies. Files attached to notes in Socrates download and rehost as Monday item files. If a file exceeds the 25 MB limit, FlitStack splits the content into multiple parts and attaches each part to the item, with a note indicating the split. File metadata such as original creation date is preserved in a custom date column.

Pair-specific challenges
Migration approach
Extract Socrates data via API with dependency mapping
FlitStack connects to Socrates via API using read-only credentials. We extract all contacts, companies, deals, activities, custom objects, and agent-memory fields in dependency order (companies first, then contacts, then deals, then activities). The export includes object relationships, ownership, timestamps, and tag values. We also export Socrates automation definitions as JSON for manual rebuild reference. During extraction, FlitStack validates API connectivity and checks for any rate‑limit headers to adjust pull speed. Each record is enriched with its original create and modify dates, and any missing required fields are flagged for remediation before the data is staged.
Design Monday CRM board structure based on Socrates schema
FlitStack creates a Monday CRM board blueprint before data lands: a Contacts board, a Companies board, a Deals board, and custom boards for each Socrates custom object. We define column types per field (text, number, date, status, person, link) and flag where custom columns (Relationship_Score__c, Agent_Memory__c) are needed. Your Monday admin approves the board structure before migration runs. The blueprint also includes default views, group settings, and automation triggers that can be enabled post‑migration. FlitStack documents the rationale for each column type choice to streamline future maintenance.
Resolve owners by email match to Monday CRM users
Socrates owner IDs are matched against Monday CRM users by email address. Unmatched owners are flagged in a pre-migration report — your team either creates Monday accounts for them or assigns their records to a fallback owner. No item lands in Monday without a valid assignee, ensuring reports and dashboards reflect correct ownership from day one. FlitStack also cross‑references any inactive Socrates users and maps them to a generic "Inactive Owner" placeholder to preserve historical ownership data without blocking the migration.
Run sample migration with field-level diff on 100–500 records
A representative slice (contacts, companies, deals, activities) migrates first into the approved Monday board structure. FlitStack generates a field-level diff report comparing source Socrates values against Monday item column values. You verify relationship score mapping, stage mapping, agent-memory preservation, and subitem attachment before committing to the full run. During this pilot, FlitStack also checks API response times and verifies that subitems are linked correctly to parent items, and that custom column formulas evaluate expected results. Any discrepancies are corrected in the blueprint before the bulk load.
Execute full migration with delta-pickup window
FlitStack runs the full data migration into Monday CRM boards using batched API calls respecting rate limits. A 24–48 hour delta‑pickup window runs concurrently, capturing any Socrates records modified or created during the migration window. All operations are logged to an audit trail. If reconciliation fails, one‑click rollback reverts Monday to the pre‑migration state. The migration engine also performs checksum validation on each batch to confirm record counts and data integrity. If any batch exceeds Monday's complexity budget, it is automatically split and retried after a short backoff.
